 Southern Pacific

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, January 2s. Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane today resumed the inquiry into the affairs of the railroads involved in the so-ealled Hartman merger. The hear ing today was designated as the Pa cifc Coas, Jobbers against the South ern Pacific. The shippers complained that they were charged five cents wharf age tolls on every ton of freight that entered the city, whether it came across the bay or over the coast line, in which latter case there is no wharfage tax to pay.
 Commissioner Lane claims San Fran cisco as his home. He took an active part in the examination of witnesses. General Freight Agent G. w. Luce of the Southern Pacific was witness. He was asked if the southern Pacific divid- ed the whole amount received with con meeting lines or retained the wharfage toll and dividced the remainder. He replied that the toll charge of five cents per ton was not divided. Some statis- tieal testimony and arrangements for filing briefs in the case completed the session.

Work of the Heart.

Few stop to consider the amount of labor performed daily by the human heart The inexhaustible supply of en- ergy displayed by this overworked or gan Is marvellous. Calculation has shown that the work of the heart of an average person is equal to the feat of lifting over five tons at the rate of a foot an hour or 125 tons in twenty four hours. A certain Dr. Richardson once made curious calculation in re- gard to the work performed by the heart in mileage. He presumed that the blood was forced out of the heart at each palpitation in the proportion of sixty-nine strokes minute and at the assumed distance of nine feet. At this rate the flow of the blood through the body would be 207 yards minute. or seven miles an hour. This would make ITO miles a day or 1000 miles year. Thus in lifetime of eighty-four years the blood in the human body would travel over 5.OO0,000 miles. The num- Der of beats of the heart required to send the blood that far would be over B.0OO.OO0O00

INDIAN SCARE
 AT MIAMI FLAT
Two Apaches Load Up with Firewater and Shoot Up
 Ranch House
Miami Flat had an Indian scare last

Miami Flat had an Indian scare last night. It wasn t quite as bad as the first reports brought to Globe, but it seemed to have given the people who live in the vicinity of Miami somewhat of fright. It was similar to other Ipdian scares, a combination of thirsty redskins, bad booze and plenty of cart ridges.
 ".Iack the Ripper" whose correct cognomen is said to be Jack Walker, arrived in the city last evening at about 7:30, after riding his pony with the throttle wide open all the way from Miami Flat, aud informed the sheriff s office that number of Indians were shooting up the ranch houses of John Kiser and the McLanes, Deputy sheriff Jack Knighton and Bob Anderson i'm inediately got their horses and started out with Walker for the scene of the disturbance.
 The Indians were nowhere in sight when the officers reached Miami, but they learned there that two Indians had been shooting promiseuously around the houses. At McLane's they were told that the Indians were creating a disturbance and had been ordered away, but they answered with volley of Winchester shots, which fortunately did not strike anyone.
 Knighton and Anderson started vn a hunt about that section and in tent below the new gditeheu shelter they found one of the offenders, well known Indian in this vicinity. His name is Henry Clay Chil-ehu-a-na, a son of the noted Apache chief, Chil chu-a.na, who is now winding up a strenuous career in aboriginal simplic- ity at Rice. When located, Henry was wearing a .45 revolver and belt full of cartridges. All the chambers of the gun were empty. He refused to give the name of his companion and also refused to tell the officers what had be. come of his Winchester. He was brought into town and placed in cell in the county jail.
 Chii-ehu-a-na had been drinking, but when the officers wanted him to tell the number of his companions in the shoot ing, he absolutely refused to peach and told the officers that he would die be- fore telling.
 This is not the first time there has been similar trouble at Miami Flat and the officers are of the opinion that the Indians secure their liquor at that point. Sheriff Thompson intends to cause an investigation into the alleged selling of liquor to Indians by saloons in that vicinity.
