members of Congrt ss during this sum
mer will make It easier to detend our
estimates for roads and trails," said

cognized the necessity for increased
Federal appropriations foi ,voiding

“In another direction there is Justi

ELOPEMENT INDIAN GIRL CAUSES SMALL RIOT
* * * # # *
ABANDONED FIANCEE CLASHES WITH HUSBAND
The Unit >d Slate vs. I!. ('. Reyes,
Filipino, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon on the complaint
of Frederick Lawrence, defendant
dismissed. All of which doesn’t
sound exciting as il appears on the
| records of the U. S. Commissioner’s
| Court, but as it was told, and acted
before Judge V. A. I’aine, it had
more elements of trouble in il than
a Donnybrook Fair.
After all the evidence was In, it
! seemed that the base of tile ease lay
j in the elopement of one Mary Peters,
an 18-year-old Indian girl, and her
marriage to Reyes, the defendant in
the above mentioned case. Mary was
already engaged through the medium
of her grandmother to a member of
I her own race, Frederick Lawrence.
| Grandmother objected to the Fllipino
1 Indian alliance but was unable to
i break it up.
Last Monday, a week ago, Law
rence, with his father, a younger
. brother, a fed a third Indian who said
he was "almost a cousin,” turned up
at Auk Iiay where the Reyes eouple
1 is employed. Lawrence told the
Judge he came to gel some presents
from Mary a wrist watch and a ring.
Reyi s said Lawrence told him he
; had come to get Mary. Anyway the
| advent of the Indians led to interna
j tlonal complications which almost
1 ended in warfare and did result in a
I small size race riot ill which the
"little brown brothers" were vie
torious if signs are reliable.
Lawrence, his face decorated with
a gorgeous “shiner,” told Judge
Paine a story of alleged unprovoked
assault of which lie was chief vic
tim and sufferer and his relatives
minor casualties. Filipinos, three ii
number, had “ganged” him, hit him
with an iron pipe and Reyes had
threatened him with a rifle. The
younger Lawrence, gobbed out ar
even worse account of the affair and
the "almost a cousin" corroborated
both. Father Lawrence, whose Kng
llsh proved inadequate to the task,
must have awed the shade of the
late Joseph Jefferson, Sr., by his
realistic acting. He was voluble with
his hands and fare, nnd, as he re
counted the evil that befell the In
1 dian race at the cannery, one could
' almost see the army of Aguinaldo
' armed with rifles, or maybe it was
i axes or knives, Lawrence, Sr., said
it might have been nil of them, fall
on the defenseless Indians.
Reyes’ story, partially corroborated
; by other testimony, was to the ef
i feet that the Indians came to take
liis wife away. He said he fought
Lawrence alone, gavo him his black
: eye and other decorative marks of
j note, in preventing him from reach
| ing Mary. He admitted going to
!a cabin and getting a rifle but said
| he did it for the purpose of protect
ing his wife. The foreman of the
! FtlipliTO crew told the Court lie tried
; to get the Indians to leave, and the
i bookkeeper said he finally made Law
1 renee quit lighting and leave.
Judge Paine, after hearing all the
, testimony, discharged Keyes and told
■ Lawrence to keep away from Auk
Hay and not to bother Iteyes and
Mary any more. "I marled Reyes
and Mary and as long as they are
satisfied you leave them alone," he
warned the Indian. “You had hard
luck. First you lost your girl and
now you have got a whipping. If
you don’t stay away from them I’ll
send for you and put you under peace
bonds," he concluded his warning.
Reyes was also warned against using
weapons in settling his difficulties
md allowed to return to Auk Hay.
