HIGHLAND, March 20.-The Indians
of the San Manuel reservation, in the
| foothills north of the state hospital,
held one of their annual festivals last
week. These celebrations are generally
well attended by visitors who are in
terested in the customs of aborigines.
Although the San Manuel Indians are
Roman Catholics, it is evident that the
faith held by them In their tribal gods,
their medicine men and their traditions
is still too strong to be "civlized" out.
The kind hospitality which this i'm
poverished tribe always extends to
their guests is frequently taken adj
vantage of by careless visitors. But
nothing is left undone that can add to
their guests pleasure, and rather than

AS late as 1905 the debt amounted to
$4,000. At present there is a surplus

known as one of the best in this Sec

Redlands ranchers.
About seventy-five feet of the North
Fork company's fiume across Plunge

danger of a washout in the future.

Four little Japanese at the town of
Sierra Madre captured a burly Los
Angeles negro early this morning and
by their combined efforts held him an
unwilling prisoner until one of Con-
stable Harley Newell's deputies could
come to their rescue. The negro is
Charles Robson and he is charged with
larceny. 1t appears from the Japs
story that one of their number, YuigO
Yamato, fell in with Robson at Los
Angeles yesterday and invited him to
go to Sierra Madre with him, the negro
expressing a desire to obtain work. At
the home of the friendly little brown
man the half of a bed was given the
negro and the two with three other
little brown men went to rest. At
about midnight Robson was dsCoV-
cred preparing to leave the house with
out saying gOodby. Search showed
that with him was departing a watch
and S. in money belonging to the first
named friendly Jap. 1t was four to
one and the burly negro was tripped
up and sat upon in turn until an Of
ficer relieved the watch this morning
In Justice COngdon's court today Rob
ison was given until tomorrow at a.
m. to decide upon his plea.
Markham Case Continued
some weeks ago SUIT was begun in
Justice Bordwells court against ex-
Governor H. II. Markham of this city
for an accounting of funds, the plain
t!ffs in the case being the stockholders
in the American Boy Mining company,
practically all of whom are leading
business and professional men of Pas
adena. The hearing was set for today,
but was this afternoon postponed until
May 81 The case is a peculiar one
and appears to mark the parting of
the ways between certain Crown City
people and the genial ex-governor. 1t
appears that Governor Markham is
president of the American Bow and
the American Girl Mining companies,
the stockholders of both companies
being very nearly the same, although
the stock and business management is
kept separate. 1t is alleged that the
president of the companies made use
of some $4,000 of funds belonging to
the American Boy company in paying
the bills of the other company and
otherwise comported himself in obiec-
tionable ways. Efforts at settlement
failed and the courts were called upon
to straighten out the matter. The case
has never been before the courts until
now and an interesting contest is
promised.

TO PROVIDE FOR
A FAIR ELECTION
Governor Magoon Prepares to
Change Laws Looking to
That End.
THE SITUATION IMPROVES
AMERICAN WARsHlPS ARE SOON
TO BE REMOVED FROM THE
CUBAN WATERS - DISARMA-
MENT TO BE DONE SOON.

Washington, oct. o.-The derermin-
=. ing factor in the selection of Governor
Charles E. Magoon as the provisional
governor of Cuba, was the fact of his
familiarity with all the laws of Cuba
and the steps that we're taken during
the last American occupation to or
ganize a stable government. 1t has
already been determined that there
must be an election and the machin-
cry for a fair election must be con-
structed by the provisional governor.
Another feature of the work that will
devolve on Governor Magoon will be
in securing an Improvement in the
laws of Cuba with regard to the indie
pendence of the judiciary.
The subserviency of the judicial to
the political power is one of the causes
of the present trouble. The persons
aggrieved over the methods of the
government had no redress through
the judiciary, because the judiciary
was not granted sufficient independ-
ence of the political authorities. 1t is
the intention OF this government, ac-
cording to officials here, to have such
an improvement of thefpresent laws in
the next Cuban government as will
materially decrease the reasons for
revolution and another intervention by
the United States.
