INDIAN TRIBE NOT EXTINCT
California Expedition Discovers REM
nants Of kombos Near Head
Waters of Sacramento.

San Francisco.-An anthropological
expedition from the University of Cal
ifornia, under Professor Kroeber, has
reported the discovery of remnants of
a supposedly extinct tribe of Califor-
MIA Indians near the head waters of
the Sacramento river The main body
of the tribe. the Kombos, was exter-
minated in raid in 1870 by settlers
According to the members of the ex-
petition, which has returned from the
north, there are about 20 in the tribe
at present. They were identified by
arrow heads and other implements
found In their camps, although the
aborigines themselves are too wild to
be approached.
The university will try to have them
rounded up by troop of United
States cavalry in order that their Ian
guage and ancient customs may be
studied In the interest OF ethnology
Reports from sheepmen in Tehama
county that sheep had been found
killed by arrows led to the search for
the Indians.

THOUGHT DEATH WAS CERTAIN
Two Hours and When Exhausted
Drops Six Inches.

Sharon. Pa.-While tramping over a
field to make short cut to his home
at late hour George Hoven walked
on the boards of an abandoned we'll
and fell through. He was able to
grab hold of crossbeam and succeed
ed in linking his arms about 1t. Then
he screamed for help, but his cries
were not heard.
After clinging to the support for
about two hours Hoven began to grow
weak. The freezing air was also tell
ing on him and he was fast losing
his strength. He offered up a prayer
and allowed his arms to relax. He
fell, expecting 70 be killed. Instead.
he dropped only six inches, as the
well had been filled in within about
five feet of the top. The fright at.
tending the moments while he hung
suspended in the air completely un-
ueryed him.

TANNING OF WILD HORSES

During recent years. however, they

1t is more difficult to domestieate
the wild horse than it is any other
wild animal. The southwest will

pertinent now being conducted In
England.
Some years ago Prjevofsky, a Rus
sian. explorer, discovered a distinct
wild horse in the Cobb desert in the
south of Mongolia. A herd OF 30
colts we're captured and landed In
Europe. Most of them were sent to
Russia but few were shipped to
the estate of the Duke of Bedford,
In England. They were ragged OF

iorts to tame them have failed.

unbroken line Of wild ancestry were

1t is the general opinion that the
domestic horse of today was mainly
derived from three wild species, which
have been named the steppe, forest
and plateau varieties. The Cobb
