Does Beaver need any sidewalks and
street crossings or are we always to go
on wading mud and say nothing about
IL? With the advent OF all and var-
Gus other improvements why not bring
the looks of the town mp accordingly?
II there is one thing above another
that is needed in Beaver 1t Is a street
crossing so that residents of opposite
sides of the street may mOgic with
out fear of being held up i'm the red
mud during the rainy season. The
people demand walks and crossings and
since IL is the people who have 10 pay
Tor them why not give them the rrivi-
lege? AT least two street crossings

A Relic Of Prehistoric Times.

When the white men first pene-
trated the interior of this continent
they found at various points great
earthworks which they believed to
be relics of a former civilization that
had disappeared. 1t was long a pop
ular belief that here was civiliza-
ton that equalled that Of ancient
Egypt, that people which had attained
5 a degree of culture far higher than
that of the Indians who lived in this
region, and had left behind them
these monuments, which only the
work of long time could destroy and
efface. All this is now believed not
to be true. The Investigations of
utnam, Thomas, Brinton and host
of other ethnologists point to the con-
clusion that the mounds and other
earthworks that have stimulated
the public Imagination were built by
Indins, people not unlike those
whom we have known in the historic
period, and the evidence points
strongly toward the ancestors Of
tribes still existing Although great
numbers of these earthworks have

KILL BANKER FOR $4,000
Two Robbers FieHdisEly Beat
Cashier in San Francisco.
One Engages Teller in Conversation
While Other Gets Money--Drag
Victims Into Back Room.

San Francisco, Cal Armed with
revolvers and carrying long pieces OF
gas pipe concealed in their sleeves
with which to subdue any opposition
in case it was deemed advisable not
to make any noise, two robbers en-
tered the Japanese bank of Kimmor
Ginko, also known as the Golden
Gate Bank, at No. 1888 O'FarrelI
street, and stole $4,000 in gold. Be.
fore leaving they dragged the only
two occupants of the building, s..
Urakata, its manager and paying tel.
Ter, and A. Sassaki, clerk, into a
back room There they beat the two
men into unconsciousness, the for
mer dying of his injuries two hours
later, while the latter was MORALLY
wounded
Although the crime was discovered
but minute or two later by GUS
toners who entered the bank and
found the two men lying in pools of
blood, which flowed from their many
wounds, the robbers made good their
escape The pipe with which the
two Japanese had been beaten was
on the floor near them.
The robbers selected a time for
their crime when but few persons
were transacting business in the
bank. Waiting until the building
was entirely empty of customers, one
of the men engaged Urakata in con-
yersation while the other walked be-
hind the partition and picked up a
sack containing the gold He was
seen in the act by the clerk, Sassaki,
who called to his employer for help.
Hardly had the man uttered a sound
when he was struck down by the
man who was carrying the gold.
Then his companion struck the
manager-teller with a piece of pipe,
rendering him unconscious. The
most fiendish part of the crime then
followed. Dragging their already
unconscious victims into poorly
lighted room, where there was but
Slight probability of their being seen,
the robbers rained blow after blow
upon the two Japanese until they
were certain they could give no
alarm. They then coolly walked out
of the bank, being seen but not espe-
cially noticed by several persons, in
Guiding the customers who a few
minutes later discovered the victims
of the crime.
AS soon as the police were notified
every available detective and patrol
man in the city was detailed upon
the case, but not the slightest trace
of them could be found Chief of
Police Oman announced that his
theory of the crime was that the rob-
bers were the same men who recently
murdered Pfitsner and Friede, two
merchants, in their stores in this
city.

to remain undisturbed and the shaft
was filled up.
