His Two Children to Death

Fresno, Cal, March 16.-Charlie
Davis, Digger Indian under arrest
here, confessed, the police said yester-
day, to having killed DIR. Jack, aged
medicine man of the tribe, in Squaw
Valley on February of last year, to
avenge the death of his two children,
whoshad been subjected to bleeding by
the medicine man, ''to drive away evil
spirits" The arteries of the children g
faces were opened with pieces of glass,
it is said, and they quickly bled to
death.
Another reason that prompted the
killing, Davis said, was to prevent the
medicine man from taking the lives of
his remaining child, his wife and of
himself, all of whom were subject, he
asserted, to the doctor s will.

CITY PUMP FAILS IN TEST

Extensive tests recently made by
City Engineer Edwards on the new
city pump, purchased from the Fair
banks-Morse company, indicate that
the pump failed by a considerable
margin to perform the work guaran-
teed by the company. The pump
was purchased on a guarantee of So
per cent maximum efficiency, but
the maximum efficiency developed in
the tests showed only 57.5 per cent.
the pump was purchased on a con-
tract at price of $2142.75,
and Engineer Edwards recommends
the acceptance of the machine if ar
rangements can be made with the
company for the deduction from the
contract price of $112.50, which rep
resents the deficiency indicated by
the tests.
