Victims Were Bound.

After the two victims had been Sc
curely bound. hands and feet, they
were tied to a tree. I'VE are going to
burn you fellows to a stake like they
do people down south" the captors in
formed their thoroughly terrorized
victims.
While Reginald Smith and young
Kettle strained at their bindings to Sc
cure release, the other boys calmly
collected some wood, it is asserted,
which they placed near their victims.
After this wood had been piled into the
shape of funeral pyre, it was ignited
The captors enjoyed the spectacle for
a few minutes, then took to their
heels, with the screams of their vic
Tins ringing loud in their ears. The
uproar made by the two boys, lashed
to the tree and threatened by the
flames, quickly attracted people to
their rescue and they were released
from their precarious position before
the flames had an opportunity to ig-
mite their clothing.

After one weeks work under the new nine hour law, as re- gards telegraph operators, dur which time the Santa Fe has done considerable experimenting in the way of working the opera tors along the line, they have now adopted the policy of put ting three operators at every
 telegraph office that it has been
 decided to keep open, closing the following offices: Suwanee, San dia, McCartvs, Bluewater, Cha yes, Houck, Plnta, Manila, Mo- qui, Canyon Diablo, Cosnino,
 Cliffs, BellemOnt and Chandler.
 An agency has been opened at Maine, Arizona, J. B. Matchln,
 formerly agent at Guam, which
 is now closed, being transferred
 to Name, with MrS. MdlCIlln as one of the operators. Consider able shifting of operators has been Occasioned during the past week, due to the new arrange mtnt, and the net result will prove that very little increase in force was necessary to comply with the provisions of the new law. Matters are yet in the eX- perimental stage, but will pro- bably work out as at present ar ranged while business is as light as 1t is just now, but with a re- sumption of traffic equal to what it was previous to the recent
