C., March 2.— John Murray, forest ranger for the provincial Government, has seized logs, lumber and a logging camp outfit, valued at $30,000, and has tied up a sawmill at Sidney, B. C., all because the American owners of the same are alleged to have evaded payment of the Government tax of 50 cents per 1000 feet uncut. The unpaid tax due the Government is estimated at $2000. The confiscated logs measure a mil- lion feet and the lumber in the mill- yard aggregates 800,000 feet and was ready for shipment to Puget Sound. The company owning the logs, lumber and mill is composed of stockholders residing in Tacoma, Seattle and Blaine. ———— Walters Unknown in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, March 2.—Nothing is known here of Albert J. Walters, who is reported to have committed suicide by leaping from the steamer Captain Wehr, near San Francisco, this morning, and who is stated to have claimed Los Angeles as his home.

After that incident Hunting- | ton and his son were guarded constant- ly by private detectives and several | times these officers have prevented | Stark from reaching them. As a result | of following Stark the officers learned | that he was trying to purchase ex-| plosives. To-day the officials of the!

A con- certed effort was made to disiodge the Indians, and as a result they were sur- rounded, being defeated after a sharp engagement. Fifteen Indians are now known to have been killed and almost a hundred braves taken prisoners. The few who ~~caped will hardly trouble the ranchers longer. General Torres and Governor Ysabel personally ied the expeditions against the Indians in respomse to many ap- peals which had been repeatedly sent out from this district after each new outrage committed by the savages. The forces were brought as far as Batamotal on the Sonora Rallroad an from there taken to San Jose de Guay- mas by boat. In addition to the Fed- eral and State troops a volunteer force was organized at San Jose de Guaymas by the municipal presidente, Senor Parodi, and Colonel Navarro recruited a mounted force at the ranches in the district. Many prominent field with the force organized at San Jose. ‘The Indians felt safe in the re- treat as they had always been success- ful in eluding the small forces sent out against them. The location of the Yaqui's camp had previously been de- termined and the forces under General Torres and Governor Ysabel formed the advance. Those under Colonel Navarro and Presidente Parodi went by a round- about road to cut off the Indians’ re- treat. The country is rough and they, hav- ing been recruited in the vicinity, knew the trails. The plans of the leaders carried well. The Indians were sur- prised in their retreat, overwhelmed by the numbers scnt against them and after a short but sharp fight in which many fell, killed and wounded, tley retreated in great disorder. A large number surrendered to a pursuing force, while a party of thirty retreated citizens took the | WILL CONTEST CAUSES SUICIDE John Ryer, Fearing That His Daughter Will Come to Poverty, Ends His Life DRINKS CARBOLIC ACID { Despdbndent Man Takes the .

Yesterday John Ryer of Pagific | Grove, 83 years old, father of Mrs. Fannie Meadows, the widow of James Meadows and one of the contestants |in the suit, ended his lite in a most dramatic manner. Whenever the will contest was mentioned Ryer became excited and nervous, expressing the | fear that his daughter and three ch: dren would become destitute. Yester- | day morning Ryer went to the kitchen, where his daughter was preparing breakfast, and asked: “Do you g0 to | Salinas to trial to-day?" Mrs. Mead- ows gave an affirmative reply, where= upon Ryer said: “Well, then, I'll take | this,” and swallowed a couple of | ounces of carbolic acid. | Mrs. Meadows at once sought help, | but before medical ald could. be se- | cured Ryer was dead.

I need the carbohydrates to make flesh and supply my body with heat and energy. | need albumen and phosphate of potash to restore wasted brain and nerve matter. I know that working and thinking consumes energy and brain and | know this waste must be rebuilt by food. The field grains’contain these elements, | know, but most people, like myself, absolutely cannot digest the large percentage of starch in grains and trouble follows. : What Shall I Eat? A few minutes spent in studying the subject proves that all these questions have been scientifically answered in GRAPE - NUTS This food is so perfect the weakest stomach can digest and assimilate it. It contains more nutri- ment that the body can make use of than 10 times as much meat, wheat, oats or bread. Most all field grains are heavy with nourishment, but not in the form for human use. Grape-Nuts is only entire wheat and barley and salt, but scientific processes requiring many hours’ treatment have made all the grains ready for any stomach. . (The starches are all converted into Grape-Sugar, in other words.) Practically pre-digested (although not chemically treated), all this natural nutriment is ready as soon as it goes into the stomach for immediate absorption into blood, muscle, heat, energy, etc, and to make the delicate gray matter in nerve and brain.
