SAN BERNARDINO, Calf. Oct. o
A score OF militiamen armed with
high power government rifles. are huf-
rying ever the desert today TO join a
posse of Sheriff Ralphs, which has
surrounded Willie Boy, the Piute In
dian murderer, intrenched In a canon
near Bullion Mountain. They are max
ing all haste to be In time Tor the
fore the outlaw is captured or killed.
Reinforcements are also on the way
from Banning, whence they were dis
pat tched by Clara True, the Indian
agent at that place, with supplies for
the besiegers.
Willie Boy. the fugitive Indian
killed his abducted sweetheart after
Staying her father.
For days sheriff Ralph and the posse
have been following the trail of the
Indian across the burning sands OF the
desert and he has fitted before them
like a heat devil of the desert. With
no food and but little water, the en-
durnace of his race stood him in
good stead. and the marks of his
bruised and bleeding feet. were the
only trace of the passage of their quar-
ry that the posse found, until the men
with their jaded horses, reached Meg
quite Wells, an isolated place on the
desert fifty-five miles northeast of
Whitewater, a station on the South
ern Pacific.
On rugged peak in this vicinity
Willie Boy elected to make his last
stand, but the sheriff's posse did not
know it. and on Wednesday, yy-wurn-
out -by'tne heat and toll of travel they
rode with dropping heads into his am
buscade. At the Indians first fire Dep
uty Sheriff Roche fell from his sad
die shot through the thigh badly
wounded. Then Willie Boy, pumping
his winchester vigorously and with
deadly aim shot seven of the eight
horse ridden by the members of the
posse.
In their exposed condition the sher-
iffs men had a small chance against
the well entrenched and well armed
desperate and were forced to retire.
Operations for the capture of Willie
Boy today assumed warlike aspect
and in taking preparations for des-
perate battle that they expect, Sheriff
Ralph established a field hospital.

fifteen acres, and in this event there
will be 5000 farms and a population
OF 1900. Counting house and barn

large amount of lumber will be sold
to supply the wants. Yet this is only
one tract of many that will be added
to the agricultural world People in
the East are looking in this direction
At the great irrigation congress, re-
Gently closed in Chicago, the inquiries
regarding these sections of countries
were number1ess. People in the cities
are longing to have homes of their
own where they can devote their en-
ergies to vegetable and fruit raising,
the ownership of their own modest es-
tates, and thus be Independent.
Other rivers than those which are
now associated with irrigation pro-
jects will be asked to yield their wat.
ers; in these projects the distribution
of water that to the unititiated looks
to be impossible will be effected by
engineering, and on and on the good
work will be pushed, and the amount
OF lumber that will be sold as result
would tax the liveliest Imagination.

IS OPPOSED TO
ExEMP7ING MONEY
Scheme to Exempt Money Loaned
at Six Per Cent.


Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 17-Represen-
tative A. Johnson, of Clarke county,
has come out sQuarely In opposition
to the proposition to exempt from tax
alton all money loaned at per cent
or less, which will be submitted for
consideration at the approaching leg
islative session.
Il am on record as opposing exemp-
lions of all kinds" declared Mr..
Johnson, and | certainly oppose this
one. l do not favor the exemption of
any species of property except such
as are used entirely for religious and
charitable purposes.
"The principle of exemption is not
right, and we, as Democrats. who are
opposed to a protective tariff. cannot
consistently support any species of
exemption. The state must raise a
certain volume of revenue each year.
and when we relieve from tavation
any form of business, other taxable
property must make up the deficit
1T is my opinion that the exemp-
ton OF per cent money will benefit
only the money lender, and the money
lender, of all classes OF citizenship,
is the one who least needs protection
OF this sort. The same proposition
was defeated at the legislative session
of 1908, and l do not believe it will
receive favorable consideration at the
approaching session"
