| A Piute Indian Who speaks very fair
English and who says be once attended
. Sunday School for some time, jester,
day asked US if the white people felt the
shock OF an earthquake last Monday
morning, about two o'clock. He said
the indians felt . shock, and then went
on to say that they were very much afraid
of earthquake. As to,hs csuss. of them
be said his people considered it warn
ing from the Almighty TO do better and
be better men in future, otherwise, he
said, something would 'come to pass"
We asked what be thought was likely 10
"come to pass" when he said: An
other food like the one l $40 years ago,
when it raiued 40 days and 40 nights
and all the people got into the big boat
built by Columbus" He had got the
birth of Christ, the deluge and the dis.
covery of America, all jun bled mp in bis

that built the Ark, he said: so, yes,
il was Columbus that came over in big

that they were sending all the money

across the track and was cut off by the
wheels, leaving bu, a stump. Blu,
his great hobby was the earthquakes,

belief that something would shortly
'scome to pass" if the people here did
not leave off their wicked doings-either |
the whole country would sink, or there
would coEe second deluge. Upon

the business of the Company find it impossible to
PERSUADE boys, who frequent the termini and stop
