Sulu, where the only American Sui
tan lives.
There are about As islands in
the Tawi-Tawi group" said Capt.
Shutan. They range in size from
Tawi, which is % miles long by
wide, to hardly more than rocks.
Sitauki, the smallest Inhabited one,
is about half a mile square, but it
has a bigger population than some
of the larger islands. The group
covers an area of about 200 square
miles.
How do you get about? Well, a
gunboat comes down there and
takes me on inspection trips, and
when such a craft is not available |
travel from one island to another
in a launch or a. native craft. This
is my second period of service in
the Moro country.
There are fewer whites in the
Tawi-Tawi group than in any other
part of the Philippines; besides the
constabulary officers there is only
one a German, who is getting rail-
way ties for a Philippine Railway
Company. They use precious wood
for that purpose over there, the
favorite being molabi, which looks
like maple; but it is hard and will
last $50 years in water. Every
month a steamer comes along down
there to pick up the ties and take
them to their destination.

II have to act as Judge in addi-

Yes, / have frequently to deal

Under the Mohammedan religion a
Moro is allowed as many wives as
he can support. Under the same

The Savage i'm Us.
Charleston Evening Post.

Charleston Evening Post.
Centuries of civilization, genera
tions of moral teaching, the press,
the pulpit, and the schools have
failed to stamp out of us altogeth-
er those savage traits which are
commonly supposed to thrive chief
~ in the heart of the lower ami
NAL or of the untutored Fiji Island
ers. Indeed, the intellect of 1911
appears In spots to be hardly more
permeated by sweetness and light
than that of the dark ages when
torture held nations in fear, and
a life was worth only the thrust Of
a lance or the stab of a dirk. But
it is not SO much the frenzies of a
mob nor the secret attack of the
criminal that stains the fair rec
ord of modern civilization with
murky markings, as it is the de-
plorable flash now and then
of primitive rashness where reason
should rule. Fortunately, the saw
age instincts of this century crop
out spasmodically and with the In
individual rather than the masses.
To say that there are among us
yet characters who know not mod
Grafton and temperance Is to state
wherein the present day civilization
Ii handicapped IN us progress Io
the higher planes.
1t happens the press dispatches
recently carried two stories, one
from the West and one from the
East, which should cause the be-
levers in right living to weep. In
st. Paul a man and woman danced
seven hours and then the man
dropped dead from sleep and ex-
haustion. In Baltimore an unfor-
tunate fellow boasted that he could
drink more whiskey than anybody
else. He tried 1t, and drank more
than anybody he could find. He
dropped dead at the conclusion OF
the foolhardy victory
Are not these two incidents eX
amples of a real savagery? In the
one case the element of an elec
trio lighted fury predominated, rea
Sonless and silly. In the other
the instincts of a hog swallowed III
the balance of a man. Fortunately
a cure for such excess comes out o.
the very civilization which pro
duces it. Death is the penalty fol
such defiance to the laws OF health

ever the trial date is set. Sellars
had been engaged to marry her for
| several months. The engagement
followed a spectacular wooing in
which he had to thrash half a doz-
en- rival cowbay suitors.
SellarS carried two life insur-
ance policies aggregating $1,000,
and the State charges that the be-
lief OF the young woman that being
his affianced wife she would get
the money led to the murder. The
lynching took place about forty
miles from Cody, out in cowboy
land. On the night of June 10 last
four men, undisguised, called at
the home of Hutch Jack, with whom
Sellars was spending the night.
They were George and Alma Weed,
Harry Heath and Kenneth Murphy
the latter a brother of Eunice.
Sellars was in bed and declined
to come out and participate in
what the visitors said was social
call. Thereupon one of them pull
ed a gun and covering Jack order
ed him to keep his seat and not in
terfere with what was about to
Sellars out of bed and Harry Heath
With this they dragged him into
the road and hanged him to a tele-
phone pole. Then they went home
and submitted later to arrest.
To the Sheriff they declared that
they were simply dealing out col
lectively a fate that Sellars had
promised each of them individually.
Their story was that Heath and
the two Weed boys had been pay
ing attention to Miss Murphy; that
this had angered Sellars and that
he had warned them that If they
didn't keep away from his girl he
would kill them. Young Murphy's
| complaint was that Sellars had
threatened him for interfering with
his courtship and that he was in
TACT forcing his attention upon his
sister. The four young men evinc-
ed astonishment that they should
be arrested and insisted that they
had clear right to dispose OF
Sellars.
1t was not until weeks afterward
through the confession of fifth
man that the authorities got an
| mixing of the conspiracy which
they charge exists. Eunice Muir
ply is a niece of Mrs. Heath, and
ranch, which was five miles from
that of Sellars. An affidavit has
been secured from William MCGEE
a cowboy, that on the night of June
10 he was at the Heath ranch
house, where were gathered the 4
men who later acted as execution
ers, Eunice Murphy, Mrs. Heath
and her two daughters and two OF
their cowherders He says that
four young men and Eunice Muir.
ply had private conference of an
hour at the house and after the
quartet left Eunice Murphy told
him that they had gone to string
up Charley Sellars. At midnight
the men returned and he heard
young Heath say:
ut is done"
What's done?" asked Mrs
Heath.
I'VE strung up Charley Sellars,
replied Heath.
Something had to be DONE" said
Eunice Murphy.
