CHAPTER XXI.
Forest Madness.

It was late the next forsnoon when the quartette, in two guide boats. set out from the Antlers dock for their twenty-four hour picnic to Browns Tract Pond.
 A guide had started an hour earlier with the camping equipment and pack. Jack and Mrs. Hawarden led the way: Desiree and Caleb being delayed in starting by the vast pressure and vast CT quantities of candy that must be brought to bear on Rex before the col lie would consent to trust his cautious young life in their boat.

as there are no wages. but all are
Toasted on rice meal and native wine.
The "O-lag" is another interesting

unmarried females. 1t is here that all

all of the single women of the village.
so that the man can hardly have two
loves at one time, which would not be
to the liking of a good many civilized
men.
Near the "O-lag" is the "Ato," which
is the government council chamber of
the village. The trial marriage house,
the widows hut. the pig pen. and sew
eral other houses are shown in all
their crude forms.
The weaving of cloth in Bontoc is
done by the women. The loom used
is said TO be the most primitive in use
today. 1t is very simple in construc,
ton. all parts being made of wood or
bamboo, with pad around the wo-
mans back. BY leaning back on the
pad she gets the necessary tension
but, simple as it is, one can watch her
an hour and not tell how the weaving
is DONE
In Bontoc they gather the cotton
from a tree that grows wild in the
lower attitudes. This tree bears pod
like fruit containing a good cotton
fiber. The natives place the raw ma
terial in a hollow bamboo tube, and
carefully pulling it out, the fiber is
rolled on their thighs, and they spin it
into yarn. This is dyed to the desired
colors by using the native vegetable
barks. The yarn is then stiffened in
race water. reeled by hand, and is
then ready for the loom.
Although Lieutenant Beatty has eX-
haNsted his supply of native-made yarn
and has supplied American yarn for
the weavers, he has a cotton spinner
and shows all the processes necessary
to prepare the raw material for the
LOOM
Some of the many other interesting
things to be seen will be the manufac-
turing of metal pipes, the various
dances of the natives, sham battles.
and spear throwing. The natives have
mo composite weapons. such as the
bow and arrow, as other primitive PEG.
Piles, but use instead for long distance
fighting spear which is thrown by
hand. With this crude weapon some
remarkable results are secured.

BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Remains of Young Men Who Died i'm

With Much Difficulty.

The inquest held over the bodies
of the three unfortunateS who lost
their lives in the old coal mine south
east of Moline yesterday afternoon,
brought out the true story of the
accident and the information which
was secured late yesterday afternoon
was for the most part verified. The
dead are William Cole, aged %
years, Walter Cole. aged II, and Ar
thur Darlington, aged IA. The Cole
boys are sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Cole, who reside at 1916 Fourteenth
avenue. Moline, and the third lad is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. o. A. Car
rington of South Moline.
Members of Party.
The facts leading to the accident
were told at the inquest as follows.
A party consisting of 3 people drove
out yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of putting in the day picking
blackberrieS. They spent the entire
morning in that way and intended to
spend the afternoon in the same way.
An hour or more after the party had
eaten dinner, Frank Roegiers, a
youth who was in the party. saw the
younger Cole boy and the Darlington
lad at the wagon in which the trip
out of the city had been made. Some

Primitive life in it's crudest form is

These are here Ill charge of Lieuten-
ant George d. Beatty, who has spent
most of his life in the Philippines,
and has made a special study OF the
life of the Igorrote. These people are
not the enlightened, civilized Filipino,
but are mountain tribes found in the
center of the island of LuZon. Their
life is fully 1000 years behind the civ
iiized world, the reason for this being
that the land they occupy is OF no
value. and when the islands were un'
der Spanish control they were left en-
tirely alone, enjoying their head-hunt-
ing expeditions and dog feasts. Today,
however. the United States govern.
ment is educating them and in a very
few years there will be no more In.

are sometimes called.
There are eight or nine 1gorrote
tribes. each occupying separate river
valley and several miles of territory.
The Bontoc Igorrote is one of these
tribes and are more interesting than
any of the others, being the only tribe
that practices trial marriage.
In the village that Lieutenant Beatty
is presenting, every effort has been
made to portray the true home life OF
these children of nature. Their huts
are the same as those in their native
land and were built by the Igorrote
after their arrival in this country. They
include the "bor maris" house, which
is nothing more than a crude shelter
from the rains of the long wet season
and chilly blasts Of the night AS the
Igorrote's life is spent more out of
doors than in, it serves more as a
sleeping place than home. The rich
mans house is constructed at consid
cradle expense. Each piece of timber
is completed at the time it is cut from
the tree and left on the mountain side
to season. after remaining there three
years. When all the material is ready
the owner gets several men to hold

time later he heard a cry Tor help
and upon investigation he found the
shaft of an old mine from which he
heard means. He ran back and
found William Cole, and told him
what he heard and they hurried to
the spot and at once descended into
the mine. The Roegiers boy heard a
splash and a moan soon after Mr..
Cole had disappeared fromesight. and
once more he ran to secure aid. This
time he went to the home of Otto
Louder. whose son, William, owns
the old mine and whose house is
very close to the shaft.
Owner ON Scene.
William Leuder returned to the
shaft with the boy just in time to
prevent Mrs. Cole from descending
into the mine in search of her boys
The news impaired TO the elder Cole
boy by Frank Roegiers had quickly
spread to the rest of the party and
they were soon almost frantic in
their desire to get the three unfor-
Inmates out of the mine.
Mr.. Louder, however, was better
posted than they were, on the fact
that mine damp collects in the bot
tom of deserted coal shafts and he
would let none of them go into the
shaft. He explained to the party
that the boys had been overcome by
the gas upon entering the shaft and
that they had fallen to the bottom
which was covered with about two
feet of water.
Get Bodies Out
Efforts to dispell the gas were
commenced at once, but at $50 it
was given up and man named
Charles Loding, went down as far
in the shaft as he dared and fished
for the bodies with hook at the
end of rope. He was rewarded af-
ter a time by getting one of the
bodies and the work was continued
by other men until all three were
taken out.
The remains were brought to the
city last evening and this morning
Coroner J. F. Rose conducted an in
quest. The verdict OF the jury was
that the young men had come to
their deaths by being overcome by
mine damp in deserted mine and
that they were trespassing. at the
time. The parents and friends OF
the three unfortunate young men are
grief stricken, and Mrs. Cole is in a
serious condition as a result of the
shock of the tragedy. The older
of the Cole boys is survived by a
wife and a two months old child
