SEMINOLE LAWS
 TO BE ENFORCED
Florida Officials Won't Interfere
 in Indian Matters

St. Petersburg, Fla, Dec. 20 LP,- men apparently has again super ceded Florida jurisprudence in the trial of Josie Billie, Seminole medi- cine man accused of murdering a widowed squaw in. the heart of the everglades last Sunday.
 Informed by Captain l.. A. Spen- cer, federal Indian agent. that the fatal stabbing of the squaw during a brawl occurred off the government reservation, Sheriff Lewis ]. Thorpe of Collier county said he would con- fer with Circuit Judge George w. Whitehurst regarding disposition of the case. He added, however. that if Josie was arrested. it would be the first time that the state of Flori- da interfered with Indian justice. Four Day Fast
 Billie yesterday completed four day fast and penance prescribed by tribal law before he could utter a word of accusation or defense.
 When his pennance was up and he was permitted to change clothes, bathe. and tell his story.
 Me no bad Indian" said Josie First argue with squaw who take my money. Try make give back Two more come. squaw jump in Two brothers. drunk. jump on me They cut. take my knife cut to. She get cut. Didn't mean. Heap sorry"
 If unmolested by Florida officers Josie will await decision of the In- dian supreme council in June.
 The government attempted to deal justice to an Indian slayer several days ago. but before the culpri! could be apprehended. the tribes men had hanged him in consumma. ton of tribal decree. Death sen. i tences are rare, but severe physical i punishment of various natures and reparation for the victims sur. vivors is common. Oftentimes a cul. prit must tend crops and pay a pre- scribed annual sum to the widow oI orphans in murder cases.

 Ashtoreth averted her face.
 Well then,' she said. "as Mr. Harts hired hand, I might remark that I never saw him shining up to the help. Sadie talks too much for her own good"
 "Oh, by the way" Maizie was quick to change the subject. "Her and that boy - Georgie = have broken up."
 Well. I'm not surprised"
 Ashtoreth, at the moment, was little acrimonious.

And Maizie. who ac- | cepted the good things of life as a | matter of course. never inquired the source of the girls affluence.

MaiZie was piously im- pressed And Sadie, winking at Ashtoreth, passed her arm affec- tionately about the older woman's shoulders.
 "You're a good egg. Mrs. Ashe." she pronounced.
 And Maizie was innocently pleased at youths compliment.
 "A darn good egg-take it from me. Give the little mother a hand. Ash"
 Ashtoreth was sailing from New York on Friday. That gave her mother the week end to clean up the apartment and pack their per sonal belongings. On Monday she would go to work for Dr. Tender sons neurotic patient, Mrs Adams

 But Ashtorath seemed annoyed at the suggestion.
 My dear, you don't think Pm going chasing that man. And, any how, how could l find him? The Argentine isn't any little hole in the wall from all I've heard about it. You're crazy, Sadie"
 Monty English had sent candy and fruit from New York. And writ ten to inquire for Ashtoreth.
 She had replied gratefully, but did not encourage his suggested visit
 Absence makes the heart grow fonder," she reminded Maizie.
 But Maizie, with one of her rare flashes of repartee. had parried quickly. "Yes-fonder of the other girl"
 Then, growing serious. she laid a plump hand on her daughter s slim shoulder.
 God knows I hope you're not making a mistake, Ashtoreth. But that there are lots of things in this world that count more than money" Ashtoreth shook her hand away impatiently
 Mother" she cried, Eff you're going to make any more speeches about nice clean young men, I'll scream'

But the whole thing doesn't mean
