regarding which those most concerned

of a girl find it expedient for her tc
get married, they look up an availabl,
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arrange,
the principals are notified. The girl goe
to the home Of the grooms parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes a kind
of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both bathe theh
heads in cold water. which completes
the ceremony. There have been in.
stances Of the groom's refusing to e
through the performance, which ha
then proceeded without him and beei
accounted valid. and several week
later he has yielded and had his hea
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much mo-
elaborate and impressive. but then Il

attempting TO kill Charles Sutterlain. a
strike-breakng conductor on the
Southwestern trolley line, was given
hearing before Magistrate Longbotham
who held him under $1,000 bail for
court Stephen Hollins. the motor
man, who was arrested with Suffer-
lain, was discharged. The hearing was
the sequel of John Doyle's alleged re-
fusal TO sell oysters 20 the troleymen
The trouble occurred near the restau-
rant owned by Doyle and followed a
wordy combat between the men. The
crew were returning with their car to
the barn at Bow Greek when they
stopped at the restaurant and asked
for oysters.
Doyle, who was closing up, told the
men that he had sold out. Believing
that they were refused something to
eat because they were employed by
the Chester Traction Company. which
controls the Southwestern line, the
men made some remarks. Hot words
ensued between the crew and Doyle
when Sutterlain. il is alleged. fired five
shots at Doyle, who was struck by one
Of the bullets in the thigh. He went
70 the Chester Hospital, where the bull
let was removed.
DR.. Walter Egbert, who extracted
the bullet, says that Doyle told him
that he had no oysters on hand, but
that 'if he had he would not have sold
them to those men,"
