YAQUI INDIANS AND

ACTIVE IN SOUTH
EL PASO. Tex.—Yaqui Indian
depredations in the Mexican border
states are becoming: more frequent,
but not all acts of banditry in the
Yaqui country can be laid at the
doors of the Indians, according to
advices reaching here from Sonora.
"It is a case of giving a dog a bad
name and hanging him.” an Ameri
can reported who is familiar with
the marauding activities of the la
quis.
It is the custom in Sonora, he
said, for Mexicans to shout “Yaqui”
whenever a foreigner has been killed
in isolated territory, or whenever a
flagrant violation of Mexican law
has been committed anywhere in the
section where Y'aquis may be found.
This is supposed to impress die visi
tor with the idea that real Mexican
banditry exists largely in the im
agination of outsiders. Hence the
Yaqui is blamed for violent acts,
whether he is responsible or not.
Yaqui and Mexican bandits are
■ both active, and it is said to be
impossible to tell which is guilty of
various reported raids, robberies and
i murders.

DOGS ARE USED
The break in the Seward-Anchor
age line last winter afforded the op
portunity for the development of
numerous forms of transportation,
other than regulation railroad, but
it has remained for Nenana to pro
duce the dog-car, a combination of
chechaco and sourdough traffic.
The dog-car is in operation be
tween Nenana crossing and the end
of steel near the Burns coal mine
and consists of an ordinary push
car, of regulation standard gauge,
and a string of dogs that furnish
excellent motive power. The car be
longs to Uncle Sam. but the dogs
are the property of some of the j
oldtimers out the line, and the idea
is theirs also.
i
The novel mg. or whatever it may
best be called, works something on ,
the order of the old Klondike ferry,
in operation between Dawson and
Lousetown in the early days of the
Klondike camp. One man, or sev
eral. as the case may be. drives the
dogs to one end of the ‘'system.”
and it is driven back by the next
man going in the opposite direction.
And those who have enjoyed a ride
on the car declare that it has a
handcar outclassed for both speed
and comfort
The onlv other similar rig recalled
by oldtimers was used on one of the
boom-dav railroads of the Nome
country, after the regular rolling
stock had been shipped to the States
or junked. An enterprising Nome
its conceived the idea of hitching
dogs to a car and a regular freight
and passenger business was carried
on for several seasons.
MARRIED MEN OF

BRAZIL MUST WEAR
WEDDING RINGS
RIO DE JANEIRO.—The women
in Brazil have not equal suffrage,
but they have an equality with the
men of their country which is not
enjoyed by their North American
sisters.
All Brazilian husbands are expect
ed to wear their wedding rings as
conscientiously as their wives do,
and generally they do so. The ring
is a plain gold band, the same as
that worn by the wives in the
United States.
The women in Brazil unanimously
are of the opinion that this is about
the last word in equality, and it :s
doubtful if they would exchange the
custom for the right to go to the
polls.
