Testimony of Witnesses

''It was testified by the representa- tive of the Illinois Glass works that the refund on the state rate on sand was made originally to meet the competition on sand from Belgium, and that subse- quently a reduction in the state rate was made in order to meet competition by water from Marysville. It was also testified by MT. Schwabacher of the Floriston Pulp & Paper company, that a rate was made to his company on oil for the purpose of meeting the competi- tion of wood fuel, and that if such have used wood from his own timber land and the transportation would have been lost to the railroad
 "The rate to the Associated Oil com pany was shown by the testimony of MT. Scribner to have been made as the result of local competition; and it was shown generally by the witnesses, and there was no substantial contradiction, that these refunds upon state rates, arising as they did out of the competi- tive conditions, were granted to all shippers under similar circumstances and conditions.
 eff there was any attempt to show by the shippers themselves that the Southern Pacific company was indulg- ing in favoritism by a system of secret rates, the attempt broke down.

away to sign the peace treaty They further charged at the time that some United States soldiers led the raiding party. There seems to be considerable evidence supporting this belief. The Pimas on occasions have even boasted of their soldier leaders on this partic- ular raid.
 The two playmates were now both captives; but their destinies were vast ly different. The Pimas soon sold Was saja to Charles Gentle, a venturesome pioneer of the photographing art among the tepees of the southwestern Indians {; and the Indian captive was transported to the white civilization of the east, where he grew up in the companionship of white children and received with them the same advantages in education. No such good fortune came to the red headed Hoosier captive. Like their enc mics, the Pimas, the Pinal Apaches bar tered their captives if they happened to be Indian children; but not so with children of the white race. These were usually massacred, together with the men and women. They had spared the Irish boy because of his hair, and it was also his hair that ever afterward kept Miekyfee their captive.
 So while Wassaja was growing up in white man s ways and habits, Micky- fee was taking on all the aboriginal ways of the Pinal Apaehes. Through score of years or more Wassaja assim- Hated civilization under the protection of Charles Gentle, and then had some more years of rubbing up against the world in his chosen profession. Finally thirty-fve years had elapsed, and he had now become all white, so far as talk, dress and ways of doing things. He abhOrred the slack ways proverb- ial among the Indians, and unlike many educated Indians had no wish to re- turn to the ways of his race. But deep in his heart he lOnged for a glimpse of his people. This longing grew into something akin to homesiekness, until finally he made a visit to Superstition mountain.
 The Prodigal's Return
 Wassaja s visit there was something of a sensation from an aboriginal stand point. His people had mOurned him as in the happy hunting ground of his race. So when he turned up in the per son of Dr. Carlos MOntezuma, prac-  ticing physician of Chicago, there was no end of rejoicing and feast making There were no grinning skeletons at the feast in his honor, although he then learned that his father and mother were both dead; yet it placed no damper on the festivities, for he had been taken captive too young to have any clear recollection of them. But there was one at this feast making who was as

Reduction
A STATEMENT BY MIR. DUNNE

conditions and to meet local competi- tion. For instance, as shown by the testimony of Mir. Baker, of Baker & Hamilton, the rates on agricultural i'm plements and hardware manufactured at Benicia and shipped to San Fran cisco were reduced from the printed schedule in order to take business as against water competition and put it on the rails. Until the reduction in rate was made Baker & Hamilton were operating water craft between Benicia and San Francisco. It also appeared that refunds had been made to the w. < J. Sloane company and to Studebaker Brothers on shipments originating at Port Costa and destined to San Fran cisco. In the same way, reductions on rates to Stockton from interior state points were made in order to meet wa ter competition. The same course was pursued in reference to shipments of oil and lumber to points of consignment within the state.
 "The rates to the Union Ice company were made in order to meet local com petition. The same thing was illus trated by reduced rates made to pack ing houses on rail hauls of eight or ten miles, in order to meet team competi- tion. The result of the proof was that the refunds from the state rates as printed were made because of local con- ditions to meet local competition and without reference to interstate business. Indeed, only one witness testified that he was 'prejudiced' to give an inter- state haul on wool because of refund on state rate, but on further examin- ation the same witness admitted that local rate was compelled by team and water competition.

WAS PUT-UP JOB

GOLDFIELD, Sept. 17.-As had
been suspected, the 'holdup" of Her.
bert e. Riggs, bookkeeper for E. H.
Newlands on Columbia street, Friday
night, has apparently proven to be a
put up game
Riggs was said last night to have
made complete confession during
the day, and last evening Deputy
Sheriff Grant and a companion went
to a stable back of Carpenters Hall,
where Riggs lived, and dug up eleven
$40 gold pieces, buried there. Riggs
is said to have admitted where he
buried the coin. He is also said to
have admitted that he sent 1880 by
Wells Fargo money order back East.
Some $500 is still unaccounted for.
