Victim From Coffin.

Redding, Cal.-Charges that William
Taylor, an Indian, afflicted with small
pox, was buried alive on Hat Creek

the authorities for investigation. The
allegation was made by Chief Samson
Grant, who said he had received his
information from his daughter, Mrs.
Leila Rhodes.
Mrs. Rhodes told her father that
two Indians buried Taylor after night

the grave, the woman said, they heard
Taylor kicking, but were afraid to
open the box, fearing the wrath Of

years old and the other four. They
had been left insurance amounting to
about $1,000.
The crime to which Bolt pleaded
guilty, although saying II did not do
it," was an attempt to kill the two
boys so that he could obtain the in
surance money, first by attempting to
starve them, then by direct assault.
The resourcefulness of the older boy
blocked the starvation plan. Locked in
room with his brother, he found some
cotton seed and they subslsted on this
for week. When the starvation pro
gram failed, Bolt brutallt beat the

over again, how much misery l would
avoid: II some one had just beat some
common sense into my silly, passion
ate mind and told me that every one has
similar experiences and the world Will
not smash into chaos just because OF
our foolish quarrel. But no.
body wiser was there to tell me and so
I few into rage and destroyed my
happiness forever -
Perhaps each woman does not have
the same experiences, but they are
rather similar the world over. AL
lowing for exceptions, women are
ever 10 much alike in their reactions
toward life, just as men are. There
are certain sex characteristics which
made Kipling say, The Colonel
lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters
under the skin.
Men have had sex solidarity for
countless ages. They are notorious for
"standing by each other" in lying for
one another and getting one another
out of scrapes. Taking n friend home
when drunk always has been n code Of
honor with them, or telling lies to his
wife to bolster up his story or alibi.
The reason, deep down in their con :
sciences, Is that the time might come
when they, too, might need a pal to
sponsor them with the Unreasonable
sex"
It always has been claimed that
women did not stand by each other,
but were invariably deadly rivals. We
doubt this, however. even in the times
when they had not caught the modern
vision of comradeship. In the harem,
they are sisters in deceit! In the hard
world Of struggle, they are fellow con-
sptrators in getting money out of the
earning" sex. Whether 1t were the
slick little CRATER who was eager for
diamonds or the gentle but clever little
wife who longed for a new hat, there
always was a sisterhood in cajoling and
deceiving the dominant male.
Now that girls are in the larger life
and so often self supporting, they stand
by each other In bigger, more serious
matters, stanchly upholding one who
has been abused or gossiped about and
protecting her with their loyalty.
And so the wise, experienced older
woman Is veritable doctor of emo
tional ills! She knows just what the
bride Is going through. She can ex-
plain that John really is not a mon
ster, suddenly revealing his horns and
hoofs, when previously resembling an
angel. She can relate thousands of
tales of other disillusioned girls who
have received shocks in learning that
friend husband has settled down into a
rut and apparently prefers newspapers
and baseball and prize fights and fifty
seven varieties Of pleasure to the wife 8
company. She insists that this is q
