A novel charge of fraud has been
before the Italian courts recently. A
dealer had four cases of liqueur which
he was sending. or rather taking.
from Naples to Milan. To save part
of his railway fare he slowed himself
in another packing case. which was
carried as merchandise.
At an intermediate station the man
desired some fresh air and took Q
stroll on the platform Then he was
discovered and prosecuted. In default
of fine a term Of Imprisonment was
passed. The enterprising dealer. 1t

Young Girls Tell
 Story of Sadness

Douglas, August 19-A tale of sor- row and shame was yesterday unfold ed in the ears of the immigration of ficials, when Marie Ortega, aged six teen, and Concha Morales, only fifteen years old, were debarred from en- trance to the United States by the us- ual mode of procedure, on the grounds that they were coming to this country ro Ieaa all i;iii1i0r immoral aI life.
 The older of the two girls admitted that she had been member of the underworld for over two years, and Concha, the younger and prettier of the two girls, claimed that she had been a good girl until six months ago, when she was sold by her mother to an American miner.
 Such instances as these are of ire quent occurrence in the lives of the immigration officials and they render a great service to their country in thus excluding these unfortunate women.

Brought Back Indians
,From Yuma Fxaminer)

Sheriff Gus Livingston was a. busy man yesterday. In the morning he had to make a trip to the valley on the negro murder case, and in the after noon he was called to Somerton to see about three Indians who were SUD- posed to know something about the murder of the Indian squaw on .Gi1 Garvin's place last Thursday after noon.
 Of coarse. on Sunday, there is very rarely a chance to secure a rig on Sunday afternoon and so Gus found it yesterday. However, George Rock wood. of the Pioneer, managed to dig him up a span of mules and these were harnessed to surry and Gus got to Somerton and back all right.
 There was not much to be elicited from the Indians, as it is proverbial that Indians will not talk unless they have to, so Gus brought the three to town and placed them in jail.
 It may be they know something and it may not, but Gus wasn't taking any chances.
 There was another story around Somerton yesterday to the effect that the husband of the murdered squaw, and who is now in jail here, was eyi- dently an innocent man.
 A party of surveyors who were in that region on the afternoon of the murder, say they saw an Indian rid ing like the wind toward the Mexican boundary line This Indian had brush tied to his horses tail to cover up the tracks, and yesterday the brush was traced for about three miles and place found where the Indian had got off and cut another brush to take the place of the one he had worn out.
 This was only mile or two from the line and he evidently got across the line safely.
 It was to find out something about this that Sheriff Livingston brought the three Indians up and placed them in jail.

 There was a bold attempt at high way robbery in Yuma Saturday night that succeeded so far as the robbery was concerned, but the near presence of the officers caught the bold high waymen red handed, and scored a mighty good catch for the Yuma peace officers.

F. track on Madison ave nLe when at point between First St. and the depot he was suddenly set up- on by three MeXicans who ordered hin. to "shell out" He put up a fight how ever, but three of them beat him down and took his watch and money, and were just starting 10 make their escape when Officer Juan Zavala was coming down the railroad from the s. P. hotel, and hearing the sounds oF the conflict he started on the run and arrived in time to develop his gun, and order the men to throw up their hands. They did so and just about this time Marshal Levy and Deputy Sheriff c. A. Livingston were going up First street toward Madison avenue and hearing Officer Zavala's whistle they arrived in time tO relieve Juan Of mart of his burden and help escort the bold highwaymen to jail.
 They had the goods on them and this morning before Judge J. c. Jones they were held to the next grand jury iii the sum of $500 each.

 At the public mass meeting held last Saturday night the question of ad- mitting Indian pupils to the public schools is definitely settled in the neg ative.
