INDIAN HORSE TH|Ef's
 FUTILE ll PlREcAUIloN
A TRAILER WHO COULD NOT BE
 SHAKEN OFF.
Lamone, the Papago, Held to the
 Grand Jury Yesterday.

The trial of Lamone. Papago In dian, on the charge of stealing a horse from Dean Wintermute of Gila Bend. and selling it to lille and Schif- flin of Five Points, took place before Justice Johnstone yesterday. The ln- dian was held to the grand jury
 When Lamone first offered the horse for sale, Hile and Schifflin refused to buy, for the reason that he had no permit from the agent in whove charge he was supposed to be to Sell. The Indian, though not under care of an agent went to the reservation and asked Agent P. E. Hughes for permit MT Hughes did not know him and refused to give it. Lamone then went to another Indian, some kind of an officer, with whom he was ac- quainted. and convinced him that the horse really belonged to him. The of- ficer accompanied him to MT. Hughes. Vouched for him and Lamone received the permit which enabled him to make the sale. He got six dollars for the horse.
 The horse was traced toNthe corral of Hile and Schifflin and the arrest of
  Hughes learned that he had been inn posed upon to the loss of the purchas- CTS. he announced that he would reim purse them for the amount that they had paid for the animal, and he did so yesterday after the trial.
 The trial brought out an interesting story of the skill of Maku Ponce De Leon, the Papago. who located the horse at the corral MT. Wintermute said that as soon as he missed the horse he sent for Maku. who is fa- nous in a tribe of trailers as the most expert. The Indian was taken to the place where the horse had been last seen and the hunt began. The Indian followed the trail over roads and over the desert, across streams and along rocks where it seemed impossible that the dimmest impression could be left.
 The horse thief had taken precau- tions against this kind of a pursuit, for in one place he had ridden in among a lot of other horses, fastened his own and driven the other. all around it But that ruse obscured the trail only at that point A little far ther on Maku picked it up and car rleO II through the maze or a thousand horse tracks in the streets of Phoe nix and finally brought up at the cor ral of Hile and Schlfflin The marvel ousness of this feat was increased by the rapidity with which it was per formed.
 Mir. Wintermute said that Maku was the one trailer he had ever heard of who could follow the trail of jack rabbit. and he has frequently done that as all of the citizens of Gila Bend would attest Even where the trail ran over rocks and where the cush- toned foot of the rabbit could not scar the rock as the hoof of a horse or steer might do, there was some little displacement visible only to the eye of Maku.
 He had thus served half the sports men of the Bend in the capacity of rabbit dog and he had never failed to Inearth the quarry unless it had run entirely out of the country and the hunters did not care to pursue.
 Knowing that it was possible that this kind of trailer might follow him. it is no wonder that Lamone exercised some precaution.

Lighthouse Service Notes.

The lighthouse service has deter
mined upon abolishing the double
lights shown from the mastheads of
ships on Diamond shoal and other sta
lions on the Atlantic coast. During
the coming spring they will all be
made to show but one light.
This change is made because of the
possibility of approaching vessels see
ing the lightships' lights from either
bow or stern and making them appear
as one light. when the description of
the light calls for a showing of two
lights
To avoid this confusion the lightshlps
will all show but one group of lights.

given them in color or flash.
The lighthouse authorities are send
ing. the following notice to mariners
REGARDING changes to be made in the
lights of the ships on the Diamond
Shoal station:

of North Carolina. moored In about 1SO
feet Of water. about five and one-quar-
ter miles southeasterly from the easter
Nv point of the Outer Diamond shOal,
and 14A miles 1877 degrees 40 minutes
(southeast one-quarter sOuth) from
Cape Hatteras lighthouse.
About May 20, 1909, one group of
lights on both light vessels No. II and

station, will be discontinued, so that
