DR.. J. P. WardIaw Delivers
Some Hot Shot.

In his discourse of Sunday night
Rev. DR. j. P. Wardlaw, of the First
Methodist church, paid his respects
to dancing, the skating rink, thea
tres, and THE Lob Cabin" the latter
a Macon institution-in somewhat
scathing terms His remarks created
something of a sensation and was
freely discussed by the congregation
after adjournment.
The text of the sermon was the
words What will it profit a man if
he shall gain the whole world and
lose his own soul"
In part the speaker said:
The gain of the world insures alb
solutely the loss of the soul. No man
can serve two masters Of the prin-
cipal causes of soulwreck, the first is
thoughtlessness.
THE second great cause of the loss
of the soul of the world are the

THE punch-bowl, the wine party,

STARVING NATIVES

cANNIBALISM COMMON IN NORTH

Youth Flees from His Uncle, Who, He

WINNIPEG, Canada, Oct. 11.-Tales
of cannibalism and famine among natives
of northwestern Canada, between the
eastern shore of James bay and Labra-
dor, are brought back by ]. A. Osborne,
editor of the Fort Francis Times, who
has just completed trip of exploration
in that country.
While at Moose factory, the explorer
met a young man who fled thither in
terror of his uncle, who he said had
killed and eaten eight human beings.
There, too. he saw a woman who last
winter killed ana ate her two chcil-
dren, so great was the famine.
This lack of food primarily was brought
about by the fact that the woods
seemed almost entirely without the usual
number of deer and rabbits, upon which
animals the natives ordinarily subsist
These occurrences did not seem to
cause any stir in that region and Os-
borne has come to the conclusion that
cannibalism is practiced openly on many
occasions among the Indians and half
breeds.
One village on Main river was wiped off
the map because of the great snowfall
last winter. Having no provisions stored
up, and with streams covered solid with
ice, the Indians starved to death. with
the exception of party of young men
and women who decided to try to make
Hudson bay fort. $50 miles down the
stream After a journey marked by
untold privation they reached the fort
more dead than alive. A relief expedi-
ton sent back to the village found moth
ing but thirteen corpses in the rude
huts which comprised the village.
Osborne says the Indian and Eskimo
of the region is diminishing
rapidly, partly due to emigration to the
coast of Labrador. and partly to the
of disease and frequent search
ty of food He says many of the natives
are falling prey to tuberculosis.

RICH MINE

PROPERTY VALUED AT MILLIONS
WORTHLESS
Two Men, Prime Movers in Promotion

All Stock at Purchase

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
HELENA. Mont, Oct. 11.-Bumerous
Montana and Washington investors have
heen swindled to the extent of more than
third of a million dollars through the
discovery that the Red Canyon placer
mines near Lander, Wyo., had been
salted and that the property is worthless.
Thomas l.. Greenough OIL Missoula and
]. f. Greenough of Spokane, who were
the prime movers in the organization,
have notified all investors that they will
redeem all stock at the price paid, thus
assuming the loss.
The discovery that the property was
sated was due to an independent exam
nation conducted by Speaker E. w. King
of the Montana Legislature and j. r. Neill
of Spokane, heavy prospective investors,
who conducted Independent inspections
and found after removing few inches
of the shaft walls that the ground was
valreless, as were the tailings, although
all previous experiments showed values
ranging from 20 cents to 50 yard.
A Chicago firm was so impressed with
the future of the property that it offered
the Greenoughs $2,500,000 for their interest,
but it was rejected.
Water not being available, work had
been started from either end of a tunnel
through a mountain, so that the flow of
the Pophoagie river might be utilized.
The discovery has created the biggest
sensation in the history of mining in the
northwest.
Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. III. T. Hosey of
Phoenix, Ariz.. one of the principal
owners of the Wyoming placer mines. re-
ferred to in the Helena dispatch, In a
statement made here tonight said the loss
to be sustained following the discovery
that the holdings had been salted would
approximate $500, 900. This amount, he
said. would be shared by Thomas L.
Greenough of Missoula and w. d. and j.
B. Greenough of Spokane, himself and
j. H. Howard of Phoenix.
Hosey declared that no stock had been
sold and that the company promoting the
property had not been organized. 1t was
to be known as the Red Canyon Mining
company and the officers were to be com
posed of owners named above. The entire
loss would be made good by them.
Hosey said that the owners suspected
several men to be guilty of sailing the
mines, but declined to say who was sus-
pected. He declared that four well
known experts had examined the property
and that each of their reports were fiat
tering, showing that the mines would run
from s1.04 to $145 per yard. He says that
after personal investigation Just made
he is satisfied the properties will not run
more than cents yard.

Could Give More Licenses.

The city council of La Junta
last week granted a saloon license
to Curran & Cadman, two highly
respectable citizens, in the face
OF protests from many of the
more prominent citizens of that
burg, who thought that the un-
derstanding at the time of the
last city election that there were
then enough drinking places
should prevail The town dads,
however, had not forgotten that
year ago their artesian water IL
cense law was attacked and de-
clared to be unconstitutional be-
cause it gave the exclusive fran
chise to one man, and so they
found themselves without power
to turn down this application, in
view of the fact that they could
place no charge against either of
the gentlemen applying for the
same.
1t has been said that even
where the deeds to property spec
ify that no liquor shall be sold or
no business conducted that is
contrary to the laws of the state
it is of no effect, if any party de-
sires to take it thru the courts.
This has been the case in Besse-
mer, a suburb of Pueblo, and
there are now about IS saloons
there notwithstanding the clause
that exists in all the deeds.

Stays With Them.

Three young tramps giving
the names of Cameron, Blivens
and Swindel were charged with
breaking into Santa Fe cars and
stealing $500 worth of shoes and
whisky at Lamar on the night of
July 16, and after being dis
charged by justice court of that
place, were rearrested and
brought here for trial before
Magistrate McGlashen. A change
of venue was sought and they
were then tried before Magistrate
John Murphy at the opera house
Monday evening and bound over
to the district court. 1t has been
some time since Holly has had so
many lawyers and sheriffs and
deputies ct cetera and at first we
thought that something import
ant was going to come off.
Now that the county takes so
much interest in the welfare of
the Santa Fe it wouldn't be a
bad idea if that company would
pay its taxes without kick and
quit suing for return of half the
amount paid last year. That
would be the fair way, but of
course the road has chance to
kick and as long as the courts are
