Six Indians killed, one white man
probably fatally injured and six
Indian children seriously wounded is
the result of a murderous attack of
Gully, chief of the Shoshones at
Willow Patch, near Osceola, Mon
day after a night of drunken carousal
who in turn was shot and killed by
Indian Joe, father of one of the
children who had been shot by
Gully. Henry Griers. the white man
who was shot, was trying to prevent
further slaughter when Gully shot
him, the bullet entering his body
near the heart. and he is not expect
ed to live. Several Of the children
are also in critical condition. Gully
has beef looked upon as a dangerous
character and has led a band of fol-
lowers in numerous escapades when
under the influence of liquor which
they have secured at dicerent times
from some unknown source. The
present trouble had its start in the
refusal of Gully's mother-in-law to
marry him, and she was the first vic
tim of his Wild rampage.

INDIAN SUPERSTITION

One of the traditional supersti-
tions of the Washoe tribe of
Indians is that when a member of
the family is waited to the happy
hunting ground, the wickiup or
cabin in which the waiting took
place in no longer habitable.. In
former times when only tule or
pole dwellings were used it was
customary to remove their rabbit
skin coverings and their limited
domicilory comforts and burn up
what was left. 1t is quite a different
matter now since most of them
live in one room cabins and
cannot afford new one. To
circumvent the traditive obsession,
last week a mi-christianized
Indian who lives in a cabin on the
David Park ranch, and recently
lost a member of his family, hired
the Brockliss traction engine and
had his domocile hauled some 300
feet from it, former site. He then
had door cut in the opposite
side and the old ent rance boarded
Up. When asked about the door,

ADAMS PEAK

Throughout Asia "huly places
are almost as numerous as leaves on
a tree, but in Ceylon is a mountain
which enjoys the unique Obstruction
Of being a very holy place to the
devotees of three absolutely di met
and conflicting religious .rcts.
This is Adams Peak or Saman ala.
According to the Mohamna dan
belief. Adam. after tire fall. wqs
taken by an Angel to the typ Of
Samantha, and a panorama of all
the ills that through sin should
affiict mankind was. spread out
before him. His foot left an
impression on the solid rock, ar d
his tears formed the lake from
which pilgrims still drink. The
Buddhists contend that it wa, not
Adam, but Buddha himself that
made the footprint in the rock,
that being the last spot where he
touched the earth before ascending
to heaven, while the Brahmins
have still another legend. All,
however, Brahminos, Mohamme-
dams and Chinese, agree that
Samantha is very holy place, and
to perform a pilgrimage to the
spot is to the Buddhists what a
visit to Mecca is to Mohammelan.
In mixed crowds the worshipers
come, each plying the ignorance
of the other, who is so far from
the true way"
1t requires no little faith and
some imagination to trace in the
depression in the rock the likeness
of human foot print. 1t is 81
feet long by % feet wide, on the
top Of huge bowlder. The
natives, however, insist II at it is
the foot print of Adam. - Emmett

HERE'S A GOOD CHILD STORY

Perhaps the most startling child
story eXtant, however, comes from
the family of a famous Boston
educator whose children all are
distinguished by an unusual degree
of originality. Several boys and
girls of various ages have been
adopted into this family, SO the
sudden appearance Of new and
well.grown associates seems to the
younger members quite natural.
This rather unusual attitude toward
family growth worked out oddly
a year or two ago, upon the
occasion of the Christmas play,
which the little ones annually write,
rehearse and produce, quite with
out adult assistance, for their
parents.
The plot Of the play included the
financial redemption OF highly
worthy couple-this being an en-
tremely cultured and sociologicallv
learned yet natural group OF
youngsters-by the good luck of
the husband, played by an eager
urchin of seven, in the gold fields
of Alaska. The happy bridegroom
returned to his weeping bride Of a
year in the nick of time, bearing
with him huge and heavy bag Of
gold. The BRIDE in neat speech.
