cATTLEMAN's CHASTITY FIND.
Skeletons Of 200 Indians Discov-
cred in Arizona Cave.

Skeletons Of 200 Indians Discov-
cred Ina an Arizona Cave.
jeff Adams, an Arizona cattleman,
found in the Superstition mountains a
few days ago a cavern 35x100 feet in
area, heaped up with the skeletons of 200
dead Indians. The cavern IS up in the
side of precipitouS gorge, reached only
by a dangerous trail. In Phoenix Adams
learned that he had rediscovered the long
lost cave where. in December of 1872,
the Fifth cavalry accomplished the great
est job of Indian killing IN the history
Of the army. The Indians, Mojaves and
Apaches had fled to the cave, pursued
by five troops of cavalry and a company
of Maricopa Indian scouts.
The besiegers had settled down to
starve the aborigines out, when one of the
troopers discovered that by shooting at
an overhanging rock bullets could be made
to glance into the cavern. Firing in this
manner was kept up until the glancing
bullets had killed or wounded every
Apache within. Then the Maricopas led
the way and finished the bloody job.
Under the body of its mother was
found year-old babe, which was adopted
by Maricopa squaw, later to be sent
to eastern schools and to become the
famous Indian physician ,r. Carlos Mon.

CHAPTER ZVIII

The evening passed as it had passed
a hundred times before. Captain Frere's
home was a cottage on the New Town
road. which he had occupied since his
appointment as assistant police magis-
trate, an appointment given to him as a
geward for his eNertions in connection
with the Osprey mutiny. His convict
servant had sat up for him. and. as he
entered the man handed him a letter,

The reader of the foregoing pages has
doubtless asked himself. "What is the
link which binds together John Rex
and Sarah Purfoy?'
In the year 1925 there lived Mt St.
Heliers, Jersey, matchmaker, named
Urban Purfoy. He was hard-work-
ing man, and had amassed little money,
sufficient to give his granddaughter an
education above the common in those
days. At sixteen, Sarah Purfoy was
an empty-headed, strong-willed, preco-
cious girl, with big brown eyes. She
was brimful of vitality, and had little
religious sentiment. She courted noto-
riety by eccentricities of dress, and was
never so happy as when she was misun-
derstood. She was the sort of girl of
whom women say, 1T is a pity she has
no mother" and men, ut is pity she
does not get a husband" and who say
to themselves, when shall l have
lover?"
There was no lack of beings of this
latter class among the officers quartered
in Fort Royal and Fort Henry: but
the female population of the island was
numerous. and. in the embarrassment of
riches. Sarah was overlooked. Though
she adored the soldiery, her first lover
was a civilian.
The object of her affections was one
Mr.. Lionel Crofton. Crofton was tall,
well made. and with an insinuating ad.
dress. His features were too strongly
marked for beauty, His eyes were the
best part OF his face, and, like his hair.

GIVES TRUST A HARD BLOW.
Court Rules that Railways Cannon
Mine and Sell Coal.

Court Rules that Esuiiways Iahho'
Mine and Sell Coal.
Common carriers cannot lawfully
deal in the commodities which they
transport, according to a decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States
handed down by Mr.. Justice White.
The decision hits at the foundations
of the monopoly of the great coal car
rying railroads which, through their
ownership and operation of coal mines,
are able to undersell their competitors,
thereby giving what amounts to dis
elimination in freight rates. Thus,
while nominally they charge the pub
lished rate for transporting coal, they
can sell it at price which would
mean an actual loss to the mines II
the full freight charges were paid.
Not only does the decision affect the
coal monopoly, but it may have far
reaching effect on the beef combine in
its capacity of proprietor of refrigerat-
ing car lines. Cases are pending i'll
court now in which the government is
endeavoring to have private car lines
declared common carriers, and in case
the suit is successful packers either
will have to give up their car lines or
abandon their trade in the beef, pro-
duce, poultry and fruit which they
transport. The decision also will APP
ply to the great breweries which own
their own refrigerator ears, as we'll as
to several other lines of business.
Mr.. Justice White, in his decision,
said that to permit the carrier to be-
come a dealer in the commodities car
for perpetuating an evil which the in
terstate commerce commission was Gre
ated to remedy, and would make the
adherence to published rates only a
farce.
The case in question originally was 4
dispute between the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road Company. The former agreed to
supply the latter with 100000 tons Of
July 1, 1902, but because of n strike
fell short 10000 tons in making the
deliveries. The buyer went into the
open maket, bought the coal and sent
the bill to the Chesapeake and Ohio.
This the road refused to pay but deliv-
cred the coal called for by the contract,
though the price Of fuel had gone up
to such an extent that the road lost
heavily by doing so.
The fight over matter Of little
over 100000 in the lower courts at
tracted the attention of the interstate
commerce commission, which became a
party to the litigation, taking the posi-
ton that the action of the Chesapeake
and Ohio in delivering coal at far below
the market price was, in fact, a cutting
Of freight rates and an evasion Of the
law prohibiting the transportation of
freight at less than the published sched
ule, and asking an injunction to stop
the road from dealing in coal.

GERANlUMS IN WINTER.

Recommended to Those Who Like
Blooms from January tn June.
All things considered, the geranium
is our best plant for winter growing.
1t blooms freely and constantly, in
most instances, and adapts itself to
the conditions prevailing in the ordi-
nary living room more readily than al
most any other plant l have any
knowledge Of And it requires very
little care
It's ability to take care OF itself is
one Of the strong arguments in its IA
vor, says Il writer in Lippincott's, es-
pecially with the amateur who is dis
trustful of his skill in the management
of plants that insist on having their
peculiarities humored. 1t has little to
boast of in the way Of attractive foil
age--though Il plant we'll set with Wig
orous, healthy foliage is far from be-
ing unhandsome--but it has right to
pride itself on the beauty Of it's flow
ers. Some of the scarlet varieties are
so exceedingly brilliant that they actu-
ally seem to impart a feeling OF
warmth to the observer. The little
child who declared that auntie's gera-
NUNS were ION fire" was conscious of
this suggestion of heat in the intensity
of color which characterizes some of
the most richly colored sorts.
Others are extremely delicate in col
or and int. Some are pure white All
the recently introduced varieties have
large, wide petaled flowers, borne in
trusses of good size, on long stalks. A
well-developed plant, symmetrical in
shape and properly furnished with To-
liage to serve as background against
which to display it's blossoms effective
ly, is magnificent sight w. IN in full
bloom, Notwithstanding the fact that
some persons sheer at the geranimum
as being common"
All beauty is common in a sense,
and l would as soon object to the sky
and the sunshine because the beauty
of them is for the enjoyment of every
body, therefore common" as to seek
to disparage a flower because it was
one that everybody could grow and en-
joy. Any one can undertake the cul-
ture of the geranium with reasonable
certainty of success who can give q
good soil to grow in, water enough to
keep it always moist at the roots,
sunny location and freedom from frost.
Insects seldom attack it. 1t has
healthy constitution that gives it inn
munity from the diseases so common
in most other plants, and it will re-
ward you for the care it receives at
your hands by making your window
bright with bloom as few other plants
can. Therefore you make no mistake
in selecting 1t for your window gar
den.
But be sure to get plants that have
not been allowed to bloom during the
summer Such plants have exhausted
themselves, and, nine times out of ten.
they win insist on taking a rest dur
ing the winter months. The ideal gera.
mum for winter use is the plant which
has been kept steadily growing during
summer, but has had every bud re.
moved as soon as seen. Such n plant
will bloom profusely from January to
June.

there is much decelt.--Addls0n.

at $500 I'm each case. Twelve other per-
sons, including fighters, walters and
ticket sellers, also were held for trial
ON similar charge.
In his opinion holding the accused,
Magistrate Breen said:
1.-THE uncontradicted testimony of
two police officers shows that charges
for admission were made. There seems
to have been defiant and reckless dis
regard OF the penal statute under the
supposed protection Of a deluslve sub
terfuge. The farcical action of a null

PASADENA, June 7.-Rev. j. d.
Bushell, whose resignation as pastor of
the Friendship Baptist church in this
city was recently accepted by the mem
bership, is again at the head of Pasa-
dena church. This time 1t is the Metro
politan Baptist church. and was organ

Bushell when he abandoned the Friend
ship church. The meeting for organiza-
ton was held last night in the Kinney
Kendall hall and was presided over by
Rev. j. d. Gordon, pastor of the Taber-
nacle Baptist church of Los Angeles.
The long drawn out fight in the
Friendship church is still public prop
erty, and when the courts finally re-
instated the group of members whom
Rev Bushell and his faction had ex-
PEELED it looked as though the old row
was likely to be repeated and the mem
bership remain divided. Rev. Bushell
solved the problem by presenting his
resignation with the request that it be
accepted to take effect some months
hence. 1t was accepted and the fight
ing parson stepped out and, as was pre-
dicted, Immediately went about organ
izing another church.

FINDS NEW CLEWS IN

MARSHAL REID STILL BUSY WITH

South Pasadena officer Says That He
Is unjustly Treated by "Knock-

Special to The Herald.

special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 7-B. M. Reid,
marshal of South Pasadena, spent all OF
this afternoon in this city, following
up various clews in the Logan murder
case AT one time he asked a negro to
put on his hat and go with him to a
quiet spot where they might talk over a
particular phase of the case. The rumor
promptly went abroad that an arrest
had been made and the usual wiseacres
insisted at once that they had been ex-
pecting just such a thing all the time
But Marshal Reid states that the negro
with whom he was talking is, in his
opinion, in no way implicated in the
case and that he never contemplated his
arrest.
The marshal does say, however, that
he has been very successful in the last
day or two in unearthing clews which
he will not make public at this time
but which seem to point unmiSakably
in a certain direction. He intends to
keep at the case steadily until he is
certain that there is no use to go any
further. Just now he is of opinion that
the mystery can be solved, and that
speedily.
Mr.. Reid has been criticised in some
quarters for making his regular trips
to Pasadena at this time, when South
Pasadena is wrestling with a mild
furry of smallpox cases. The popular
South Pasadenan says he does not in
tend ceasing his Investigations or any
other work along the line of duty be-
cause of the committee of neighborhood
obstructionists, as he calls them.
He says he believes that he has done
his duty in the present situation in
South Pasadena. There have been no
cases of smallpox in his house: the one
daughter who was thought to have the
disease following vaccination is now
thought not to have had it, Mr.. Reid
had her removed from the house and
the entire building fumigated, so as to
| protect the community and his own
family absolutely. Acting on the adj
vice of the health officer, Marshal Reid
will go about his business as formerly,
believing that there Is no danger of
any one catching the disease from him.

MISTAKES HIS THUMB
FOR KEY TO A DOOR
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, June 7.--Harry Cleve-

who, as far as known has no friends in
this city, was discovered this morning
attempting to unlock the door of the
San Gabriel Valley bank, using his
thumb as key. When the officers
asked him what he was doing he ex-
plained that Il can't get i'm here. The
key won't ut. l must get into this
drug store right away" He was placed
under arrest and Justice Congdon fixed
the date Of his examination for Sat
urday. By some the man is believed
to be mildly insane and the insanity
commission may be asked to look into
the case. Others insist that Cleveland
hcs s been on long continued spree and
that his present condition is simply the
inevitable result, in which case he may
be in his normal condition by the time
his case is called.
