port demand it being said that thirty

A NAVAJO POLICEMAN
HAS HIS TROUBLES

Sandoval, the Navajo policeman,
has been an imposing figure on the
streets of Durango the past week.
Sandoval has been In Durango on
numerous occasions. being sent
now and then by the agent at Ship.
rock upon some mission. He draws
$40 month from the government and
Is furnished a uniform. His duties
on the reservation are picnic com.
pared with his duties in town, when
there are lot of Indians to look aft
er Anyone who has watched the In
dians can get an Idea of what he has
10 contend with. His people will
drink when they can get 1t. and they
are usually provided with whisky by
worthless Mexicans, who make n
great profit, sometimes getting val.
liable blanket for a 25-cent bottle of
whisky. The Mexicans are sharp
enough to not let the Indian police
man catch them at their nefarious
trade. On the reservation he would
know how to handle an offender. He
would promptly arrest any law break
er and take him to the agency and put
him in jail. But here the situation
Is somewhat different. His people
come to town to have good time
the Fourth of July, and. like the
white officer. he is disposed to be
lenient In a time like this. He has
no Jail here to put the Indians In, and
inps not Iilfa tn than Int IN
the white mans jail. Sometimes
when an Indian becomes obstreper-
GUS the white policemen throw him in.
Yesterday Sandoval was seen plead
ing with a. drunken Navajo, trying to
persuade him to cut out the booze.
The officer was sorely worried. He
had just a few minutes before that
seen a red man helping a brother
down to camp, the fellow being un-
able to walk alone. The one helping
took great pains to see II there were
any white policemen In sight before
he crossed the street.
The one Sandoval was pleading
with had lost his blanket and brace
lets. His squaw had complained to
Sandoval, and later the drunken one
gave his squaw a scolding tnat made
her cry. The sight, though pathetic
was amusing to some of the bystand-
ers. who thought an Indian woman
incapable of tears.
One white man. whose several
drinks had not drowned the spirit of
chivalry in him, called the squaw
poor girl" and proposed to bat her
husband one 'just for luck" but a
wiser and more sober friend advised
him to not mix up In any family
quarrels, and led him away.
II is hoped the Indian is sober by
this time; that they have amicably
settled their differences. and that the
next time the squaw works all sum
mer on blanket she will get the
dinero for 1t.

Senator Tillman's personal vi

Senator Tillman's personal view on the rate bill as presented to the senate is fiat warning to the rail road magnates and the owners of the colossal fortunes that the railroads have built up to come into camp and act with reasonable decency lest a worse thing befall them. Whether the railroads and great interests now we'll represented in many high priced seats in the senate, will heed the warning, the vote on the rate bill will make plain, says our Washing ton correspondent. The prospect for reasonably satisfactory legislation are somewhat brighter just now But there are many things that can happen between now and the vote on the bill. Much pressure has been and will be brought on individual senators in favor of the bill. The pressure against it has already been brought in large rolls and there is more where that came from. It is possible that the railroads will see the situation in the same light that Senator Tillmsn has presented 1t and will call of their Hobbies when they have done what they think is the ut most they can safely attempt. At the same time it is possible that their eyes may have been puffed shut through too fat feeding and if this is the case the legislation is sure to be either delayed indefinitely or else will be of so unsatisfactory a charac ter that it might as we'll not have been passed.
