H. Hamilton Fyfe, English journal
list, was talking, in New York, about
Mexico, whence he had just returned.
Among the Mexican Indians" he
said, two things astonished me-frst,
the early age at which the children
begin to smoke, and, second, the late
age at which they continued to be
nursed by their mothers.
"Frequently the Indian babies are
sucked till they are four years old
By that time they have learned to
smoke, and it is not uncommon in the
Indian villages to see child leave
its mothers breast and Immediately
light up a comfortable 'after-dinner
cigar"

The conclusion Of the preliminary
hearing was less sensational than q,
the opening proceedings, but, at the
same time, it brought out a number
of interesting points.
j. F. Davidson, counsel for West
lake. began by taking J. H. Buxton
through close cross-examination as
to his past life. He made the witness
tell the court where he had been prior
to his arrival in Winnipeg and what
were the various positions he had
filled. He made Buxton confess that
there had been some trouble in a bar
room in Dryden. Ont. on which oc-
casion a gun had gone OF In Buxton's e

was collecting rents.
The lawyer wanted to know If it
were not a fact that Buxton had
cooked" the books. Buxton denied
this, but admitted that he might have
defaulted $4,000.
Ex-Constable Reid repeated most of
the evidence which he gave before the
royal commission, which showed that
most of his dealings had been carried
on with Buxton.
Point for Hagel.
It transpired that Percy Hagel had
not been present when Reid received
the gun. ultimately given to Kraf-

No Counsel for Krafchenko.
The witness was cross-examined by
Mr. .Bonnar, who ELECTED the fact that
krafchenko had applied for counsel

stated Krafchenko had told him he
wanted to see Mr.. Bonnar himself.
Mr. .Bonnar sarcastica1ly remarked
that the chief constable appeared to
have denied the prisoner the ordinary
rights of a British subject.
Deputy Chief Newton, George Smith
and Eli Stodgill all gave evidence as
to the second arrest Of Krafchenko,

occurred after the bandit escaped from
the prison.
