-Cortez, Colorado, January 19: Fiji
ty Ute Indians, determined not to de-
liver Big Rabbit, one Of their tribes
men, to the county authorities to an
swer a charge of shooting Joseph vi
chel, a sheep herder, are entrenched in
the mountains, Is miles from here, and
defied a posse Of 100 men today. The
Indians yesterday took up their posi-
tions in the mountains after they had
left their reservation in south western
Colorado and declared they would
fight to the death rather than give up
Big Rabbit. They are said to be arm
ed with repeating rifles and have plen-
ty of ammunition. Indian Agent John
Spear has been appealed to by the
county authorities, in hope that he
might be able to induce the Indians to
return to the reservation and surrender
Big Rabbit. Spears advances today,
however, were rebuffed by the Indians,
and he has wired the interior depart
ment at Washington for instructions.
Spear said tonight he would take no
action until he heard from Washing
ton.
A case, said by physicians to be
the first in medical science, was dis
covered at Easton, Pa, last week, by
DIR. James A. Morgenstern when he
was called to the residence Of Berton
Perkins to attend one Of the children
who was suffering from chicken pox.
The case was an unusually severe one,
and the physician made a minute eX
animation. When he placed his hand
on the right side Of the child's chest
he was amazed to find heart beating
there and, moment later, was astol.-
ished to find another heart on the left
side. 1t led him to request Mrs. Per-
kins to allow an examination Of her
self and the other children, and the
physician found that not only the one
child, but the mother and two other
children in the family each had two
hearts. Accompanied by several of the
leading physicians of the city, another
visit was paid to the house, when Doc
tor Morgenstern's discovery was con-
firmed. Mrs. Perkins and her children,
Anna, Allen and Doris, aged 1S, IL and
4, respectively, are apparently normal
in all other respects.

Of the state has ever witnessed is re-
ported from Glen Alpine, little town

President elect woodrow Wilson
Yesterday realized what he considers
the climax in his programme Of reform
as governor Of New Jersey. Seven bills
making for the most extensive revision
of the corporation laws in the history
OF the state, were introduced last night
in the state legislature. These acts are
designed to put an end to trusts and
monopoly under the laws of New Jer-
sey," declared Gov. Wilson in a state
ment describing the measures, "and l
confidently predict that they will ac-
complish that much desired result.
Though the principle Of the bills, which
seek to prevent monopoly, undersell-
ing in local markets, mergers, the eX-
istence of holding companies and the
issuance Of watered stocks, is one
which the governor emphasized repeat
edly during the national campaign, he
said last night that the proposed leg
islation had been drawn with the con-
ditions in the state of New Jersey
alone in mind. These bills embody
my ideas Of the way New Jersey should
deal with the question" he said. Ma
tional legislation might have to be diff
ferent." Ever since the end of the cam
paign, the governor has been working
on the corporation reform. Chancellor
Walker and Judge Bennett Van Syckle
assisted him, and last night the bills
were launched in the senate. AS the
acts are administration measures and
the Democrats have a comfortable ma
jority in both houses, Democratic lead
ers were practically unanimous in pre-
dieting that they will be enacted with
little opposition. The feature of the
bills that attracted most attention was
the provision making violation of the
proposed law misdemeanor punish
able by Imprisonment as well as fines.
