Best Friend and Made Request

Winnipeg, Feb. ia wierd talo of
a young Indian girl Staying her father
to save his soul from perdition has
been brought In from the Lake Nip
lyon country. Returning home after
long hunting trip. an old Indian,
Seabe by name, explained to his fam
ily that he had killed his best friend.

dams mind that he was unable TO rest
or sleep. Believing that If he gave up
his own life, his soul would be saved,
Seabe asked several acquaintances TO
kill him, but they refused. Going to
his own home. he placed an axe in the
hands Of his daughter and commanded
her TO kill him. She at first declined.
but when told by her father that If she
did not SO, he would commit more
murders, she consented. She told her
parent to stand with his back her,
close to the fire.
After her father had said goodbye,
the girl raised the axe high and swung
it with all her strength, completely
severing the head.
II was held by the police. who in
vestigated, that the killing was in self
defense. as the father threatened to
take the lives of his two young sons

BULL ring CAUSE
OF THE DECLINE
OF SPAIN
so DECLARES DIRECTOR OF PUB
lIC EDUCATION IN MEXICO.
He Protests Against Teachers and
School Children Attending Bull
Fights In Coahuila.

Torreon, Mex, Feb. 1910 how
great degree has bull-hghting had
to do with the decline of Spain as a
world power? This question is rails
ed by Andres Osuna, director of pub
lie education, who has asked the state
government OF Coahuila to enact an
order prohibiting school teachers and
children from attending bull fights.
Senior Osuna contends that witnessing
such brutal exhibitions as bull fights
tends to harden the mind OF students
and make them unfit for citizenship.
The bull ring, contends Senor Osu-
ma, has been responsible for the dc
cline Of Spain. as a world power, just
as gladiatorial contests, and similar
bloody exhibitions caused the decline
OF the Roman empire.
Whatever action may ne taken by
the state authorities, 1t is fact that
sentiment against bull-fghtinS is
gradually growing among the best ele
ment of Mexico and it probably will
not be long before this age'honored
sport Of the Spaniards will have be
come q thing Of the past in this coun
try.
