ELEPHANT CHARGED HUNTERS
A Thrilling Expfricnco In Malayan

To the older folks we

picked myself up and, not daring to

thrown Into a thicket by my fall,
raced down tho path again and hid
hohlnd tho first convenient treo.
From this point of comparative
safety I saw tho olophant still stand

fumbling dizzily with Its trunk in
tho heavy smoko of tho black pow
der fumbling to find mo. Tho
blood was pouring from tho wound
In Its chost in great throbbing jots,
and tho bright green undergrowth
was drouched with heavy red.

Washington, Oct. 10. Who is re
sponsible for tho creation of tho Sal
tan Sea In Southern California,
which already covers nn area of 400
squaro miles and threatens to spread
over 2000 square miles, If some
means of diverting the Colorado riv
er cannot bo dovlsed?
This question Is perplexing Mexi
can and American diplomatists, but
for tho tlmo being diplomatic repre
sentations havo been susponded, and
both tho United Stntes and Mexico
are bending every effort to check tho
river, which has been accidentally
turned from Its course through tho
offorts of tho California Develop
ment Company to irrigate land in
Northern Moxico and Southern Cali
fornia. Interesting complications of an ln
tornatlonnl nature' aro threatened
when tho two governments attempt
to settle their dlfforoncos and mako
good tho damago which has boon
brought by dlvortlng tho Colorado
from Its old channel. Tho California
Development Company originally
tapped tho'rlvor bolow Yuma, Ariz.,
and carried water from Arizona
Ico and back Into a great valley in
Ico nnd b alkento a great valley In
Southorn California. In 1904 It was
found that this canal was lnndequato
to supply tho water required for tho
Irrigation project, and a Mexican cor
poration, controlled by tho California
Dovolopment Company was author
ized by Moxico to tako water from
tho Colorado In Moxico. Tho Irriga
tion cnnnl was only ono-fourth of n
mllo from tho river nt tho point In
Mexico whoro a ditch was cut
through the sandy bank of tho rlvor
connecting with tho gront Irrigation
cnnnl. No gatos wcro provided, and
when tho Colorado river was divert
ed from Its chnnnol, It cut away Its
bank and wont raging Into tho low
lands In California far bolow sea

rtopoated attempts havo been

Again and again tho Southern Pa

tho Sultou sink, and havo boon

towns aro now bonoath tho wators
which tho Colorado hna poured Into
tho basin, and In many places only
tho tops ot tho telegraph poles Indi
cate whoro tho roadbed formerly
wns. In tho lowest part ot tho sink
tho water Is now 70 feet deop. For
a tlmo tho water from tho Colorado
raised tho sea at tho rate of six
Inches n day, and It has boon estimat
ed that, granting tho failure of en
gineers to chock tho rlvor In 40
years, all the basin located beneath
tho main courso ot tho Colorado will
bo covored with water.

INDIAN
WAS HELD
PRISONER
Ciiemawa Authorities At
tempted to Pull off a
Shotgun Wedding
After being held virtually a pris
oner since the graduation exercises
in July, the authorities of tho Salem
Indian Training school, at Chemawn,
havo released Asa D. Bngnell, a full
blooded young Klamath Indian grad
uate of tho school. He was let go
yesterday- evening, nnd permitted to
return to tho lodges and tepees of
his people.
Tho alleged Imprisonment was an
attempt on the part of the school au
thorities to coerce young Bagnell in
to a marriage with Mabel McKay, an
lS-year-old Indian student, to whose
delinquency Bagnell was accused of
contributing.
Judge Delos Woodruff, of Curry
county, guardian of tho Bagnell
holrs, made a formal demand for tho
release of Bagnell, and Is said to bo
now on his way to. Salem to enforce
his written request for the boy's
liberty. Carson & Cannon, attorneys
of this city, were employed by the
Indian's relatives, and they threat
ened to secure the boy's release on
habeas corpus proceedings. These
legal steps culminated in the boy be
ing given a ticket home.
However, tho authorities pur
chased tho boy a ticket by way of
Portland and tho Pacific ocean, a
routo that will consume more than a
week, while his guardian is coming
Into Salem by tho direct railroad
route. In this way the Indian and
Judgo Woodruff, his guardian, will
be kept apart for another ten days,
at least.
In tho meantime, the boy made
several unsuccessful attempts to es
cape. At one time he got as far as
Kelso, Washington, where ho was
overtaken by the school authorities
and brought back to tho school.
Tho condition of the McKay girl
was said to havo been discovered In
August, and sho was sent to her
homo at Woodburn, and from that
tlmo Bagnell was kept under surveil
lance.
Young Bngnell stoutly maintains
his Innocence, and says that a young
white man connected with tho Insti
tution Is tho causo of tho girl's de
ception, and for that reason Bagnell
hns boon refused a trial before a civ
il tribunal.
Tho authorities of the school havo
somo kind of a written confession
signed by Asa Bagnell. Ho claims
that It was procured under duress,
nnd Is not truo. Bngnell Is 19 years
old, and tho legal Jurisdiction of tho
school ovor him ceased July 30th.
Assistant Superintendent Camp
bell snld this morning that ho ex
pelled Bagnoll from tho School yos
torday, but admitted that ho had no
Jurisdiction ovor him since July, and
that instead of expelling him, ho re
leased him from survolllnnco, and
purchased him a ticket home.
Mr. Campbell also said that ho
tried to make the girl's father tako
legal action In the matter, hut that
ho refused to do so.
It Is rumorcd that tho girl does
not nttrlbuto her betrayal to tho In
dian, but to a young white man.
Mr. Campbell admitted that tho
boy had his diploma, and that ho
bad boon restrained Illegally. On
tho other hand, tho Indian school au
thorities aro tho guardians' of tho
girl, as sho has not yet been gradu
ated or oxpolled. As such, they
could havo recourse to the civil au
thorities and compel tho young In
dian to mnko any legal restitution,
Mr, Campbell says, as far tha
school authorities aro concerned, tho
incident Is closed.
Tho authorities eay thoy still hold
nagnell's confession nnd an Inter
cepted lovo letter from Darnell to
the McKay girl. For what purposo
theso documents aro being kent. as
tho Incident is closed, la not known,
unless it is for- the defense ot some
ono else tho girl may accuse.

nell to cscapo from tho Indian school
do not comprlso all tho elopements
from that Institution In tho past few
weeks. Another runaway Is Zlnka
