SAN BERNARDINO, July 2s.-An
Indian uprising was narrowly averted
at Needles this week when a young
squaw was badly beaten up by James
Sweeney, who for some years has run
a ferryboat on the Colorado river.
Sweeney could talk the Indian tongue
as well as English. He had tried to
pay some attention to the young squaw
but she refused his attentions.
Finally a few days ago, when she
again refused him, he struck her a Sc
we're blow with a club and left her
unconscious, in which condition she re-
mained for an hour.
The news quickly spread among the
Indians and an uprising against the
whites was narrowly averted, Sweeney
having in the meantime disappeared,
though the Indians made an effort to
trace him.
Deputy Sheriff George Acuna quelled
the Indians temporarily until Sheriff
Ralphs could be sent for, and with a
posse of Indians attempted to locate
the ferryman, but without avail. On
the advice of the sheriff, who has as
sured the Indians he will do all possi-
BILE to locate Sweeney, they have qui-
eted down, though for a time things
looked exceedingly like serious Ipdi-
an outbreak In the community.

BOY EATING APPLE MOVES
BALKY HORSE OFF TRACK
Portly Man Tries to Persuade Stub
born Animal to Start Up, but
Only Newsboy Finally
Succeeds

A balky horse yesterday held up
about fifteen street cars on Spring
street for about fifteen minutes.
Several methods were used by many
of the bystanders to entice the horse
to move just foot to one siee, so as to
allow the cars to pass
A portly man with large, straight
his cane to the policeman, took the
horse by an ear and the bride rein and
-gan to pull.
The horse held his neck stiff for a
moment and suddenly relaxed, and the
portly man was sitting in the street be-
fore he knew what had happened
Other methods were tried with as lit
tie success, until a newsboy came up
chewing an apple, and the boy mar
rowly escaped being run over when the
horse saw him and dashed down the
street.

Advertising is the Short Road TO
Confidence

N You tell thousands of people what you have to
say when you advertise in The Evening Journal.
G You endeavor to live up to your statements in
the goods that you sell You earn the peoples
confidence by investing your capital in public
notice. and you keep that confidence by good ser
vice. by backing up every advertising statement.
q Is your store weak in it's publicity department?
You would not allow anyone to persuade you to
close your store for few days or a few weeks
now and then.
G You would not think for moment of suspend
ing your delivery service for a week now and
then.
q You would not even try to hire clerks for an
"occasonaP day two of service.
G But who is it that induces you to conduct your
store advertising on that plan-the plan of ade-
quate advertising and then, and perhaps al
