SHOT IN FAMILY FEUD.
Farmer Accused of Anbushing Sister-in
Law on Pretense That Her Child
Was Ill.

CINCINNATI, O., June 18-William
Hisey, a farmer living near Aurora,
Ind, probably fatally shot his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Hisey, wife Of prominent
Cincinnati manufacturer, and severely
wounded Herbert Craile, also of Cincin-
matt, on his farm late yesterday.
Mrs. Hisey was summoned from her
summer home by a message stating that
one of the children was not expected to
live. She hurried to the farm and is
said to have been attacked at once, Will
liam Hisey and his family being all
armed. Hisey said after his arrest that
he shot Mrs. Hisey in self-defense, and
declared that she had drawn her revol-
Yer before he fired.
Herbert Craile is a son-in-Iaw of Mrs.
Mary Hisey. Family difficulties of long
standing are believed to have led to the
shooting. The farm belongs to Charles
Hisey, husband of the wounded woman,
and was occupied by his brother without
charge.

ties, wood and water, were held in
common. They furnish the only exam
pie known to history Of a really sue
cessful communistic mode Of life.
Money was discarded and research
shows that as the cliff jewellers devel-
opedall mediums of exchange vanished.
The result was a pure and simple
life, in which crime was unknown and
jails unnecessary. There were no DO
litical spoils to fight over and the COM
munity officers acted merely for the
honor the positions bestowed upon
them.
The cliff dwellers were not large men
and women. They had no need of grea t
strength because of their peculiar life.
They were, however, wiry and strong.
They We're capable Of great feats of
endurance and able to handle immense

atoms But the intellect was always

Were Religious People.
Religion, it is believed, was the most
marked characteristic feature of the
cliff jewellers, and when they left their
homes and settled in Mexico it became
almost a mania. While the Aztecs made
frequent sacrifices Of life. to propitiate
their gods. there is no evidence of the
worship of the cliff jewellers taking
such q turn.
In one room of each house, called the
kaiva, there was an altar on which the
sacred rites were daily performed.

SWEPT OVER NIAGARA.
Unknown Man Thrown from Boat Near
Goat Island and Goes Over
Waving for Aid.

NIAGARA, Ont, June 16.-While
hundreds of spectators stood helpless on
shore an unknown man, who was thrown
from a boat when it capsized in White
Horse rapids, was carried over Horse
shoe falls late Friday.
He was seen first by "Archie'' Nc
Eachron, hack driver, and two men
who were in his carriage at the head of
Goat island. They say the man came
down the river in q boat He was try
ing to direct his course so ne would land
at the head of one of the islands, but
was too far west when his boat capsized.
The current which sets across the riv-
er for Horseshoe falls above the Three
Sisters islands caught him, and then he
had no chance. He struggled desperate
ly with the waves, but made no head
way, and was soon smothered in the
foam of the rapids.
The man passed within 200 feet of the
outer point of the group of islands, where
hundreds could see his agonized face and
his arms waving in an appeal for succOr.

Within the limits Of Colorado and
extending over into Utah. Arizona and
New Mexico are the remains Of the
cliff dwellers. They were skillful

characterization. Their ideas were en-
braced in symbolic characters. They
found themselves on arid plans and
mcsas crossed by small rivers with mar
row food plains. They built them
selves permanent homes. The element
OF defense entered No one knows,
however, that there was any reason for
defense-that they were not the first.
However, they wanted protection. They
were not skilled in the offensive; only
tie defensive, it seems. They went
into secluded canyons with great, over
hanging cliffs, under which they rea-
soued they could well build their
houses. The geology Of the country
lent itself admirably to the needs of
this primitive man. There were many
m0nstrous lodges of sandstone extend

The cliff dwellers were a remarkable
people in the perfection Of their spe-
cies. 1t was law that a man must
marry outside his own clan or cOmmu-

there might not be even the most re-

Those who led the right life, they
thought, would be rewarded by the
great creator.
The dress of the cliff dwelllers was
simple and artistic. A remarka BILE
cloth made from turkey feathers and
rabbit fur, which was strong and dur
able and served for both winter and
summer. was the material for their
clothes. Their process for making this
cloth Is unknown and will probably re-
main one of the lost arts.
1t is believed that climatic changes,
due to the great geological mutations,
caused the cliff dwellers to abandon
their residences. 1t is known that
there was ages ago plenty of water in
the region where they made their
homes with which to irrigate their
lands. Now the country is largely arid
and would not furnish sustenance for
community Of any size.
Investigations may reveal that after
leaving their homes the cliff dwellers

are to be found not only in the Ameri-
can Indian but in the Eskimo and the
MongOlians.
While there is as yet nothing definite
on the subject, it is believed that these
remarkable dwellings have been in ex-
istence for hundreds upon hundreds of
centuries. They represent a ciyiliza-
ton older even than that Of the Chal-
deans, whose prehistoric ruins have
until now been considered the most an
Gent in existence.
Among the more noteworthy ruins of
the Mesa Verde should be mentioned
Cliff palace, consisting really Of several
buildings covering span of approx
mateIy 300 feet. Some of the towers in
this village extend flush to the ledge
overhead, forming the room. This pal
ace shows that the deterioration of the
dwelling is no longer due to vandalism.
Many Of the walls are falling Of their
own weight.

More Signs of Peace.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
President Roosevelt this afternoon
signed the statehood bill.
The controversy concerning meat In
spection legislation and the differences
likely between the Senate and House
relative to the Panama canal type were
discussed by Senate leaders today as
to the effect upon adjournment. The
impression is that If the Senate passes
sea. level canal bill the type would
be eliminated in conference. If this
should be done it would leave the Presi-
dent free to carry out his ideas.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
passed the House today. An amend
ment compelling Panama canal pur-
chases in cheapest market was defeated.
A conclusion was reached late today
by House leaders whereby the meat in
spection bill, the pure food bill and the
immigra ton bill are all to be passed
next week in the order named.

A POLICE CHIEF IN TROUBLE

st Louis appears to be troubled with
the same complaint that afflicted Salt
Lake city until recently. the chief diff
ference being that In st. Louis the com
plant was formally made. whereas In

was fouted repeatedly by an organ
which claims to be church organ but
which is merely an organ of depravlty,
mendacity and lawlessness. And yet
there could be no possible doubt thar
the charge made here was true.
ST. Louis's Chief of Police has been
charged with the protection OF vice and
crime under conditions which II is
claimed could not have escaped his at
tention. In Salt Lake City, also. the
Chief Of Police was charged with pro-
tecting Vice and crime, and the worst
of II Is the charge was proved; and VET
he refused TO reform himself or tho
conditions that should have been re-
formed by him. He was backed by
lawless City Council, which declined to
require him to do his duty, and which
being under complete ecclesiastical con-
troll, could see nothing wrong In any
form Of lawlessness or crime that would
turn money into the church mill or
would he of advantage to the ecclesias
teal misdemeanants who were In con-
troll OF the city administration. And
the Mayor was equally indifferent, and
for the same reason
In Salt Lake, happily, this condition
has passed away. In ST. Louis they
