INDIANS THREATEN TO MAKE:
SERIOUS TROUBLE IN INY0

Attorney Lawler today said: II
don't know what will happen, or how
We will settle this trouble. The In
dians. particularly one family. are
stubborn and refuse TO give up their
claims"
The family in question lives near
Lone Pine. in the southern end of this
valley. They live too upon land
which they have always claimed. and
now they refuse TO move off or give
up the use of the water. which crosses
their area 10 the city. Naturally the
people here sympathize with the In
dians. but they have no desire TO
have these belligerent natives stirred
into a dangerous movement by an out
side agency since the harm in that
ease would be upon the heads of the
people here, Indians making no dis
tinction between settlers and out
siders who invade their rights.

RESCUED BY AN ENGINEER.

way on the bridge fishing, wholly
oblivious 10 the approaching danger.
There was an instant closing of the
throttle and an application of the air,
but before the train could be stopped
the bridge had been passed.
The boy in his fright either jumped
into the water or was swept of by the
train. When lyman lesped from his
engine the little fellow was struggling in
the stream below, absolutely helpless.
The engine driver plunged down the
bank into the water, wsding, swimming
and finally diving to reach the boy, and
emerging a few moments later with the
victim almost exhausted
The boy was taken t. Collins and
turned over to the care of physician,
while lyman, after finishing his run al
Fon du Lac, reportsd the affair in per-
functory way to his superintendent.
