KIN More Than Wild Beasts

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from tLeir attacks. They're
in air. water, dust. even food. But grand
protection is afforded by Electric Bit
terS, which destroy and expel these
deadly disease germs from the system.

REAL WILD INDIANS.
Unframed Aborigines Found to Inhabit
California District.

San Francisco, Aug. 23,-The discov-
cry of the remnant pf a tribe of In
dams hiding in a wild portion of Te-
hama county by scientists from the
University of California, has aroused
the keenest interest among anthro-
biologists, and an effort is being made
To have the government take charge of
the remaining members.
Professor A. l.. Kroeber, of the de-
partment of anthropology of the Uni
versity writes: THAT there should be
a tribe of entirely wild Indians at this
date i'm so thickly settled a state as
California seems incredible. When the
first rumor of the untamed aborigines
reached the university It was known at
once who the Indians must be If they
existed at all, for the so-called Kumbo
or Mill Creek tribe of this region had
long been regarded as the one of the
smallest and at the same time unique
tribes i'm California. But as this band
was last seen in 1870 the possibility
of their having been able to keep
themselves hidden for forty years was
remote.
AN expedition headed by r.. r..
Waterman, instructor i'm the depart
ment of anthropofogy, was out n
month, and while after the most
strenuous kind Of work and most Wig
liant care they were unable to meet
any of the Indians in person. they
brought back evidences which prove
their existence. The tract which they
inhabit is only few miles square and
an easy days journey from Vina on the
Shasta route of the Southern Pacific
railroad. 1t il without question the
toughest stretch of country i'm Cali
fornia. The Indians know every inch
of this territory AS soon as one of
their trails becomes we'll worn they
abandon IL for less visible paths. The
trails go under the brush instead of
through II, so that the Indians do
most of their travelling on hands and
knees. This prevents the stock which
occasionally strays into the region
from following the trails and beating
them out.
"As the country which they inhabit
is useless even TO cattle IL is practical
ly never entered. The few ranchers
that cross the country prefer to travel
around the tract instead of through it,"

SHAVE LEADS TO ARREST.
Bank Director Thought Young EN-
ploYe Couldn't Afford Tips.

Cincinnati, Aug. 23.--An ordinary,
everyday shave is the real cause of
all the scandal i'm the family of John c.
Byland of Boone county, Kentucky.
His son has been sent to the Kentucky
penltentiary for five years and he is
prisoner for the embezzlement of
$4,000 from the funds of the Rich
wood Q<y) Deposit bank
More than one year ago, his son,
Raymond Byland, went into barber
shop near where he lived. He did not
notice that there was another man in
the shop. When he got through he
gave the barber 25 cents and told him
to keep the change. Byland was work.
ing for $50 a month. The other man
i'm the shop was one of the board Of
directors of that bank.
The next day this director called a
meeting of the board and an investiga-
ton was begun. All the directors said
that no man working for such a salary
would tip a barber 10 cents for shave.
Before the investigation closed, John
c. Byland and his son fled from Ken
lucky. Later the directors announced
that $4,000 was gone.
Eight months after their disappear
ance, Raymond Byland was caught in
Sacramento, Cal, whore he was work
ing under an assumed name. He was
brought back to Kentucky and sent to
the penitentiary. Saturday his father
was captured in Detroit and was
brought to Boone county. lie will be
tried this week.
