LOS ANGELES, . 16.—Abe Ruef and Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco are said to be trying to negotiate a deal where- by they will become the owners of the Sarn Francisco Post, and if the report be true the deal will be consimmated before the end of the week. The presence here, | with Ruef and Schmitz of Thomas Gar- rett, who is in charge of the Post, lends strength to the rumor. It is proposed to organize a stock company headed by Ruef and Schmitz and take over the property if the terms can be arranged. Mayor Schmitz declined to-day to deny or confirm a report that the object of his Vtrip south is to secure the Post. Own- ership of the property has been a se- cret since it was sold a few years ago by the Southern Pacific Railroad, pre- sumably to Guy Barham, acting as trus- tee for owners whose identity never has been disclosed to the public. From time to time it has been reported that Henry T. Gage, former Governor of California, is the Post’s real owner.

SPAULDING, Idaho, Nov. 16.—Sixty | Nez Peérce Indians from all parts of | the reservation gathered here to-day | and held a meeting to protest against tne new order of the ll\te_rlo!' Department requiring Indian guardians to give bonds. The meeting was far | from being after the old Indian customs | as not held in the open air, with haired bucks seated on the| ground in a big circle. Instead a hali at a hotel was secured and the Indians went through the! “white man’s’ procedure, elected a chuirman and took turns at speaking. Those in attendance were reticent about telling the results of the meeting, but it was learned that a delegation was selected to call on Agent Dew at the agency to-morrow and lay the matter before him. In addition to this it is planned to send a delegate or delega- tion to Washington. ° | In the past the bucks have been guardians for their own children with- out the necessity of an order of court | and leased their own children’s | lands collected rent. Under the new order a guardian for a minor must | be appointed in court and must give a | bond. The e of securing the court order is distasteful to the Indians and the trouble of securing a bond is even more disagreeable. Some of the, most prominent men in the Nez Perce tribe were present, among them being Moses Kip Kipilician, Peo Peo Talic, James Stewart and Tom Plum.
