The Indians of the Putumayou dis,

the rubber companies has aroused the
world, are described in a recent issue
of Folklore by Captain r W. Whit
en-. who apparently lived among them
before they were subjected to the
white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
Il pretty hard lot themselves. For eX
ample they kill the second twin at
birth. and the mother always browns
a sickly or deformed child. They Kill
their prisoners and eat them. In fact
they We're still in the stone age when
Captain Whiffen studied them. and

function was a sort of dance, to which
the participants and audience We're
summoned by the beating of drums
SO loud that it could be heard for a
distance of eight or ten miles. One
of the curious customs described by
the captain was their method of using
tobacco. The leaf was made into a
"treacly decoction," and this was
clicked ceremonally" by friends in
the tribal palaver, and also as sort
of binder-like an oath-in making a
contract.

Appeal Sustained in Lewiston
Election Cases---The ResCriDt.

under tire action Of the common council
of March Il. 1913. when that body decIar-
ed them entitled to seats in THE place of
sullivan and HebeTt, who held certitl-
Gates of election.
1t appears from the finding of the sit
ting Justice In the present proceedi; <,
that sullivan and iIebert We're unseated
and Herman and CoombS seated, by L So
luton only, without notice or hearing.
The case also shows that two sets of
city officers were elected by the city
council, one set including the petitione S
to whose election the votes of kel ndu
and CoomhS We're essential, the other
set including the appellants, to whose
election the Votes Of sullivan and iiebcrt
We're e sential, Accordingly this phase
of the case turns upon whether sullivan
and Hebert were legally unseated, and
Herman and Goombs legally seated. II
Sullivan and Hebert were not legally un-
seated and, when they voted for
the appellants We're de facto officers,
then the appellants We're legally elected.
If otherwise then the petitioners We're
legally elected. sullivan and Hebert. 1t
should be borne i'll mind, Id certificates
of election, and We're consequently prim 4
facie entitled to their seats, until legally
removed.
The case before us presents hardship.
The respondents are holding offices by
virtue of votes east by two councilmen
who were not legally elected and whose
offices We're subsequently declared Va
=, cant by judgment of the Supreme Jul
dcial Court. But this specific hardship
should not be permitted 10 influence the
| judgment of the court against declaring
what it deems to be the true rule of law
| that should prevail as to the method of
procedure in this class of cases. Proper
| procedure must proceed, and underiics,
| every valid Judgment.
We are accordingly of tie opinion that,
lin the absence of statutory provision tie
| safe and reasonable mode of procedure,
required to be observed by municipal
| boards, when sitting, pro tempore "a
! judges. should be in accordance with tile
rules of the common law.
/ 1t therefore follows that Herman and
toombs We're not entitled to their seats
| until the final Judgment of the court
| some little time after April l, when the
! appellants We're seated.-Nor can thu
| judgment of the court relate back to the
decision of the sitting justice in the case
! of Herman and Coombs VS., sullivan and
/ Hebert The appeal vacated the decision
below. Bartlette Us. McIntire, los Maine
J l6i.
! Hebert and Sullivan were therefore de
! facto officers on April 1. This raises thu
question can the appellants retain tho
! benefit of the de faeto act of these TIVE
! councilmen? Upon this question it SHOULD
4 be observed that the attack upon thetl
! right to act under the present proceed
ing, Is collateral. This form of attach
/ cannot be sustained. In controversies Z
which de facto officers are parties il ha.
been repeatedly held that. their title t
