US. LUXURY TAXI HITS ST. JOHN CELEBRATIONS

Mir. Martin, the government col lector of revenue and war taxes, was in Apache county several days last week and the first of this week. He brought the unwelcome news to St. Johns business men that they would have to pay a war tax of 10 per cent on all money collected for admission to the soldiers and sailors celebra- tion. No one had suspected that our great government was so badly in need of money that it would exact a tax for holding a patriotic celebration in honor of those who have been de. lending our country's honor, but such is the. case, according to Collector Martin. The celebration funds have all been expended, and it will now be up to the business men to dig down for fifty or sixty dollars to meet this tax demand. A good many of them are not disposed to do so and they may decide to let Uncle Sam come and get it, if he can. Not cent of money was made out of the celebration by anyone and there was no one in par ticular behind it except the general public; so who are they going to col lect from ?-St. Johns Observer.

Ne,os of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
HEAP BAD INDIAN
 SENTENCED AT ST. JOHNS

The young Indian who was brought here from Cooley a couple of weeks ago and lodged in jail on the charge of murdering his sister, waived trial and pleaded guilty to manslaughter, for which he was sentenced to serve from one to ten years in the peniten- tiary. Undersheriff J. A. Miner left with him Thursday for the state peni- tentiary at Florence.
 It developed that the Indian was married to his own sister--the girl he murdered, who was only 15 years old-and therefore he was guilty in more ways than one, and his legal counsel did not hesitate when given the opportunity to plead manslaugh- ter, though there was some doubt about the manner in which the girl met her death. She fell or was push ed by the accused over the edge of a bluff. Falling on the rocks below she was instantly killed.-St. Johns Ob- server.
