TREASURE DEATH TRAP.
Attempts to Explore TiburOn Islands
Have Caused Death Of More Than
One Man.

The sad incident involving the loss
of the Grindell party recalls a series
of unfortunate affairs of the same
character, occurring in the same
field.
In 1892 R. E. L. Robinson, promi-
nent newspaper man who had gained
unusual notoriety by virtue of fric-
ton with the Examiner, was disposed
of by the Ceris Indians. In company
with two other parties he was in
charge of what one might call
''bug hunting expedition" in small
sloop, bending around the peninsula
of Lower California. Over conf
dence in himself and an underesti-
mate of the snaky qualities of the
Ceri, led to his destruction. This is
one case in many.
Your contributor happened to have
the honor of close acquaintance
with Tom Grindell, once clerk of the
supreme court of Arizona and later
principal of the Douglas schools.
He was an educated gentleman, a
man with a fine sense of honor as
well as humor, and true friend, and
his loss, involving, as it must have,
uncomfortable suffering, is profoundly
.deplored by the people of the terri
tory. These attempts to explore the
Tiburon Islands are, in way, paral-
lei to North Pole expeditions, since
nothing can be gained in the event of
success. it constitutes an instance
of everything to lose and nothing
to gain.''
The Cert Indians were once a pow
erful tribe, ranging over the Tiburon
Islands, and along the mainland of
Sonora as far in as Magdelena.
They are by no means confined to the
islands at this date.
The only suggestion of an industry
to which they were ever known to
loan themselves is the manufacture of
blankets and other articles from the
feathers of the albatross, in which
they are exceedingly expert.
Their cannibalistic proclivities can
not be disputed. Your contributor
has observed unmistakable evidences
of this practice among them. A
prominent officer of the ranger force
stated recently that only a few weeks
since he had an opportunity to draw
an expression from a ten-year-old
Cert girl, who was adopted by d
Mexican family in Guaymas, and the
poor creature admitted that she hat
eaten human flesh, and attested that
it was 'good.'' That the Ceris' are
distinctly anthropophogi admits OF
no discussion. The further remark
able fact remains that they cool
nothing. They subsist mainly on sea
fowl, eggs and fish, with which the
coast abounds.
They are certainly the mos
treacherous and soulless savages il
existence.
The islands are of volcanic origin
arid and destitute Of water except il
pot holes, the locality of which art
known only to the natives. There il
an abundance of vegetation in the
form of cacti, but nothing of value
The islands can be reached in (
launch or other light craft in abou
forty miles from Guaymas ant
amount to very little after one ar
rives.
Just what prompts good men t.
risk their lives on such missions i
hard to understand, unless it is tina
indefnable inclination in the human
breast to do something out of the
ordinary. FRANK Alley.

o. A. Pease, of Yuma, was ex-
amined before Justice Redondo on a
charge of embezzling $4,000 of the
funds of the Amalgamated Gold
Mines. An attempt was made to
show that Pease had embezzed funds
of the company by padding the pay
roll. To do this it was alleged he had
men receive pay who were either
not in existence or who were not
working for the company. The case
was dismissed.

1t is not certain that the editor of
the Graham Guardian is the author
of the following, but he vouches for
its truthfulness as applying to the
beautiful young ladies of Stafford and
Solomonville:
"Resolved, that no young man who
smokes cheroots
Shall press his lips beneath our
shoots" Citizen.
No, the editor of the Guardian
surely was not the author of the
above classic gem, because he is
strongly addicted to the cheroot
habit.

have been opened at several of the COM

from the East who have deposited sums

Of them are known by reputation to
banking men to be possessed OF large
wealth. Others are supposed to repre-
sent wealthy clients in Eastern money

Chief pInan PrsserIbes Hard Work
and Plenty Of Il.


San Francisco, May 14.--A move
method Of stamping out the evil OF
Io0ting, which has been on the increase
despite the stern measures taken by the
civil and military authorities, has been
Inaugurated by Chief Of Police DInan.
That oricial has iUuued an order that
whenever q looter ID caught he IL 10 be
put In q equad under the command Of
Detective Sergeant Charles T.. Taylor.
Members OF the squad are compelled 70
labor st clearing away the debris. Al
ready Sergeant Taylor has rs men un-
der him, and the number Is constantly
growing. The taskmaster Of this etsain
gang IL given discretionary powers as to
the term each OF the meEobere shall
serve.
Already the streets about Portsmouth
Square and the Hall Of Justice are be.
ginning TO assume their old-time APP
pearance OF cleanliness, the result Of
the work Of tho captured hooters. Chief
DInan believes that, when the exist
ence Of Sergeant Taylorv's army be-
comes generally known, footing will
greatly decrease.
The liquor question was again dis
cuaseds to-day by the authorities, and II
has been proposed that the charter OF
the city be amended 30 that the license,
which has heretofore been 400, be
raised 10 $500. Before the fire there
we're 1000 saloons In this city, and II
10 believed that the increased license
will reduce this number to 1000, with.
ont In any way diminishing the reve.
nuea Of the city.
A proclamation has been issued by
Mayor Schmitz directing that all refug-
ees be concentrated In two great camps,
one 10 be located In the Potrero, in the
south side Of the city, and the other at
Golden Gate Park. This action has
been made necessary for sanitary rea-
sons, as military discipline must pre-
vail in these tented cities, II the health
oi the inmates is 10 be preserved. Al
present every square In the city and
many vacant lots are covered with the
tents OF refugees. The military are
now ordering these people to the cen
trail camps.
