INDIANS VICTIMS
OF BEATING AFTER
WILD CELEBRATION

A Mexican Independence day
baseball game at Andradc in which
both teams, one Il Yuma Indian del
egation, the other a Mexican team,
took exception to the umpire and
to each other, bringing the game to
an end in the sixth inning in Il
free for all fight, was carried far
into the night when two members of
the Mexican team, crept up to the
cabin of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hills on
the Yuma Indian reservation, and
beat the pair into unconsciousness
with a 20 pound iron wrench.
These were the facts disclosed by
Sheriff Gillctt last night upon his
return from the reservation hospital
where the Indian couple have been
confined in critical condition
since their discovery by friends un-
conscious in their cabin Wednes-
day some 10 hours after the alleged
beating The sheriff was not mott.
fed of the attack until late Thurs
day night.
The theory that the beating was
rot administered by baseball play
crs, however, was advanced by an
other Yuma Indian, who told the
sheriff that Hills, Monday night
was elected treasurer of an Indian
club and given the first dues, a
sum of SIS, to take care of. How
ever, in the spirit of celebration on
the Mexican Independence day,
Hills is said to have spent the

The Change Will Be
 Good

During his short tour of Southeastern Alaska, candidate Frank L. Knight, of Anchorage, made a splendid impression on the electorate, and demonstrat- ed that the next Treasurer of the Territory will be a human and kindly man. Treasurer Smith has been dictated to and communicated for so many years that he has grown to be- lieve that he only has one man as boss. He never would be able to understand that as an elect ed official he would be subject to the approval of the general public, and that he would be ex- pected to render efficient service instead of being snappy and self -opinionated in his dealings with the public.

Reasonable Territcris 1
 Appropriations

The Alaska Pioneers Home at Sitka takes care of over 100 in- mates turnout the year. They are housed, fed and given medi- cal treatment-all for less than $5O,000 per fear. But without maintenance and to provide for the ordinary expenses of giving collegiate instruction to 60 or TO pupils during part of the year 1t costs the Territory over $50,- zoo and the Federal government another $5O,OOO, per year to run the Agricultural College at Fair hanks.
 And yet, because pr. Bunnell, who lobbied turnout the last Legislative session, was not able to receive a Territorial appro- LriatiOn of more than SlO5,UUU for the biennium, he felt that the College was being discrimin- ated against. He came to Ju- neau with a demand for $235 ,00O. This was cut by the House to |S135,000 and thanks to the alert ness and sense of justice of Sen ator Will A. Steel, of the First Division, this bill was further re- 0uced in the Senate to $105,000, which was later accepted by the House. There is such a thing as a reasonable consideration of Territorial needs, but if all de- mands were on a line with the persistent requests of President Bunnell the taxation of Alaska would have to be almost doubled, if they were compiled with.

THE WRANGELL CAMP OF
 THE A. N R.

Visitors to the Wrangell Camp c fthe Alaska Native Brother hood are much impressed with the business like way in which they handle their affairs. Their camp finances are in flourish ing condition and they have re- oently finished paying for their nall, which was purchased from the late William Lewis.
 There is a little story in con- nection with the final payment on the Hall that illustrates the spirit of the Wrangell Camp. Lit tie Jerry Desmond, eight-year- old grandson of Frank Desmond, came to the meeting the night the camp was selling bonds to raise the final payment of $500 that was, due. Livingstone Des- mond bought the first bonds, S25 worth; then little Jerry stood up and made a speech lnsomething like this:
 MT. Chairman, I don't want my big brother to beat me, so I am buying $25 worth of bonds too Here is my money in sack. Only 1t is in nickels and dimes and quarters. I have been saw ing it for a long time. Some money I made selling papers and some by selling old dog sal
 mon that I'd get from the boats. One time my Daddy tried to make me throw these fish fish away and go home, but I said, No, Daddy, I'm selling these fish to help pay for the Hall So Daddy just shook his head, and said, Alright"
 That is the kind of spirit that has built the Alaska Native Bro- therhood.

The scene here provided a choice

it obviously was impossible to learn
their contents the crowd whispered
that they were messages of warn
