Kills Wife and Self

A Mexican near Las Vegas last
week carved his wife to death,
plunged his knife into her body sew
enteen times and then stabbed him
self twice. The second time he
plunged the knife into his body it
pierced his heart and he fell dead
with the knife sticking in his body.
When attacked the Indian woman
was in the house of Mrs. Sylvia
Pittman and she is the only witness
of the crime. The Mexican called
at the house for the woman and at
the first sight of her drew his knife
and went after her. The woman
sougth to evade him-Mrs. Pittman
went into another room for a revol-
yer with which to protect her-but
when she returned the Indian wom-
an was lying prone upon the floor
with the Mexican over her. Mrs.
Pittman fired five shots at the Mexi-
can and, exhausting her revolver,
fled from the house, calling for
help, which attracted some neigh
boring Mexicans to the scene.
When they arrived Ravenna was
dead as we'll as the woman, his knife
buried in the heart.

!: Holt, returned traveller living in
Alameda, very pleasant reading.
Among other thing, Mr.. Holt
said none of the millions of dollars
sent annually to Palestine is used to
aid the pauper masses, but all
goes to enrich the churches and
line the pockets of the clergy.
Although that country, he declares,
is richer in proportion than any
other land in the world, paupers
constitute rs per cent of the
population.
Most shocking statement of all,
however, is that those in charge of
the work of the seventeen religious
sects in the Holy Land break the Ten
Commandments with impunity
This seems far sweeping, for
there must be in the Holy Land
thousands of Christian workers who
are devout, honest and sincere,
and above bringing their religion
into disrepute. Mr.. Holt in all
probability is opposed to Christian
principles, and therefore unjust in
his charge. But if not true they
ought to be challenged and their
falsity proved.-Sacramento Bee.

The mill can handle Sc ore, and
is the most economical mill in the
state.
