SPIRIlTUALISM

English and American scientists tell US they

Constable George Cotant made q
haul last night OF which he is justly
proud. For some time past local OF.
liCcrs as well as government agents
have been trying to capture a certain
Chinaman by the name of John Stock
who has been very active in the sale |
Of liquor TO Indians. On the fourth
Of July this ChinamaR disposed Of
twenty-five bottles of firewatyr to
thirsty Piutes. Constable Cotant de.
te-minca to catch him but many trials
and their failures caused the officer
almost to despair of ever landing his
quarry. Last night however, he took
one last chance and secured tire as.
siStance Of Mill Creek Tom, a Piute
who was considerably under the !nflu-
ence Of liquor even at the time Con
stable Cotant gave the Indian money
with which to purchase bottle of
whiskoy ana then hid in the brush
near the Chinaman's cabin to await
developments. Tho Indian went up
town where he remained for a good
two hours, during which time Consta-
/ bic Cotant staid al his post IN the
brush. cursing his decoy and mentally
bidding good bye to his five dollar
! bill which was to purchase the evil
/ dcnCC that he needed. Mill Creek
Tom came back. however, after q time
and lurched into the Chnaman's
cabin where he was given a bottle of
whiskey. Tom took advantage Of the
| opportunity as well and downed
nearly half of the evidence before the
officer reached the scene from where
he was observing the operation. John
Stock was taken into custody and will
pay for his III gotten gains by a term
in the federal prison.

saloon of that town was draped the

took on a blaCkish hue and the ma

that it was red, white and black, in
stead Of the red. white and blue. They
tore down the bunting and cleaned
