They Car outrun a Horse and Go For

From. an chronological standpoint one
OF the strangest peoples in the western
hemisphere is that tribe known as the
Seri Indians, living In the western
part Of the state of Sonora, Mexico,
along the shore Of the gulf Of Califor.

that gulf.
From time immemorial Seriland has

thirsty inhabitants.
These Indians are of superb ply
siaue. able to run down fleet game
and to capture half wild Mexican
horses without rope or projectiles; able
to run across the desert. waterless and
foodless, so rapidly as to escape pur-

They speak a distinct language and

is hereditary. The remains Of ancient
ruins in Seriland indicate that the in
habitants have always kept their coun-

that for centuries their customs and

TEMPLE OF BAALBEK.
This Syrian Shrine Has the Largest
Quarried Stones In the World.

This Syrian Shrine Has the Largest
Quarried Stones In the World.
Probably the largest stones ever used
in any building are seen in the west
ern wall of the great temple Of Baai-
bek in Syria. and the problem Is still
unsolved as to the methods used in
conveying them from the quarrieS and
Of placing them in position.
The quarries from which these blocks
were undoubtedly cut can be seen
about half a mile to the southwest OF
the temple. The three stones lie hori-
zontally and form part of the outer
wall of the building. They are not on
the lowest part of the masonry. but
are twenty-three feet above the first
row of stones. Each stone is over six
ty feet long. thirteen feet high and ten
feet thick.
The most wonderful block of all still
lies In the quarries. for something
must have occurred to stop the work
Of separating it completely from the
rock. and the great stone has lain
there for centuries awaiting compile
ton. This stone is seventy feet long.
fourteen feet high and thirteen feet
wide. The three sides and part of the
fourth have been beautifully chiseled
and are smooth and even.-San Fran

services to the party during six years
of Tory ascendancy would be reward

his list of ministers to the queen he
had received Il direct intimation that

THREE ARRESTED
FOR THE ATTACK
COUNTY OFFICERS HOLD THEM
AS SUSPECTS IN CASE OF
MISS REEVES

Buddy Debero and Wesley Holmes,
negroes, suspected of knowing some
thing about the attack made on Miss
Louise Reeves. seventeen years old,
a few squares from the Southern
Stock Yards on the Boulevard tues
day night, were arrested yesterday
afternoon by Henrico County Officer
L. L. Cornell. Holmes was arrested
early in the afternoon at ms nome
in Scott's Addition and Debero was
taken into custody five hours later
at the Southern Stock Yards, where
he Is employed by Smyth Brothers.
This 10 the third one to be arrested
and connected with the crime. The
first one 10 be taken into custody
was Harvie Temple, who was trailed
by bioodhounds to Lucks staoIes,
where he liz employed.
He was arrested by Policeman Bob
Tiller and taken before Miss Reeves
at her home, 3203 West Leigh street.
She told the officer that he looked as
II he was the man, but the clothes
he had on did not correspond with
those of her assailant. A search OF
the Negroes home followed and suit
answering to the description given by
the young lady was found.
The three negroes are said TO have
been seen together shortly before the
attack was made on Miss Reeves. and
while the officers believe that Temple
is the one that attacked that young
lady. they are under the impression
that the other two men know some
thing about 1t.
Miss Reeves was attacked Tuesday
night shortly after she had gotten off
a street car near Robertson and Broad
streets. and had started to her home
in SCOTS Addition. She was found
unconscious by an automobiles and
taken TO her home.
The case will be heard before Mag
istrate Thomas ]. Puryear in the
Henrico Courthouse Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. By that time Miss
Reeves will have recovered from her
experience and will be ready to idan-
tify her assailant.

official notification of the fact that
the Philadelphia boosters train viii,
hit Richmond on November 18th, and
though there liz ample time in which
to perfect arrangements, Mr.. Dabney,
keeping up his established reputation
for doing things right now" has AL
ready outlined tentative plans for the
entertainment of the visitors.
The special train of Pullmans, car
rying about 200 of the Quaker City
business men. will arrive In Richmond
on the morning OF the 1ath at Z o clock
and will leave at 80 for the South.
The plans embrace meeting the visitors

corting them to the Jefferson hotel
for breakfast, and then taking them
for ride over the city. Just to show
them what a real, live city looks fYke.
Mayor Ainslie will head the reception
committee and the chamber OF COM
merce and Business Mems association
will be ably represented. While the
plans are yet in embryo, 1t can be
safely stated at this writing that the

Dabney, Wen keep their feet off the
