One day Mass-wa-we-in-ini was
crossing a wide plain, when he was ac-
costed by a little man with a red feath-
er on his head.
Were are you going?" asked the lit
tie man, cheerily, and invited the ma
gician to smoke with him. "Pray," said
he, as he smoked, wherein does YOUR

"We must wrestle." said the man Of
the red feather. "If You should make
me fall, you will say to me, Il have
thrown you, Wa-ge-me-na.'"
So they wrestled, and for a time the
strife was doubtful, and Mass-wa-we-
mini feared for himself, the little man
was so active; but at length he threw
hin to the ground.
IL have thrown you, Wa-ge-me-naI!'
he cried, and at that instant his oppo-
n~enteyanished into the ground.
On looking at the spot where the lit
tie man disappeared, Mass-wa-we-in-ini
discovered a crooked ear of mond0min
lndian CORN lying on the ground, with
the usual red, hairy tassel at the top.
While he gazed he heard a voice say.
"Divest NE Of my covering and reveal
my body. Separate me into parts, and
cast me upon the plain. Return then

Mass-wa-we-in-ini obeyedthese direr-
tions, and when, at expiration OF The
moon, he came again to the wrestling
place, he found the spikes and blades
of young corn, and where he had
thrown the cob pumpkin vines were
growing luXrriantlv.
A voice addressed him from the
cornfield: "Mass-wa-we-in-ini, YOU o II
quered me. Had you not done so, Your
life would have been forfeited. Victory
has crowned Your strength, and from
henceforth my body shall give nourish-
ment to the human race"
Thus the Ottawas received the gift of
corn, and they have even been noted
for their fine crops of this grain, and
from their custom of trading in Indian
corn. this tribe was called Ottawas.

visit to the Paine break in the Yolo
levee, which is now almost closed, will
certainly repay anyone for the walk, be-
sides giving the visitor an idea as to how
immense breaks like this one are repaired
The path way on the levee from the bridge
down is in good condition, and the road
way is also passable for vehicles. The dis
lance is about two miles from Washington,
and couple of hours could not be more
pleasantly spent than by taking walk to
the break and witnessing the progress of
the work.
There are about thirty men employed,
and the driving of the piles has been COM
pleted. They are driven across the break,
on curve. In the center three rows have
been driven, SO as to resist the main force
of the current while at each end there are
but two rows of piles. These are about five
or six feet apart, across the break, and the
rows are about ten feet apart.
Tire men are now working in the center,
inserting willow brush between the rows of
piles. Sand-bags are placed on top of the
brush to hold it down. The south half of
the break has been closed, and it will be
but few days before the other half is COM
pieted, as only few inches of water is
now flowing over it.
The barge Granger is at the break with
an immense load of brush on board, which
will probably suffice to close the rest of the
break. Thousands of sacks of sand were
being unlosded from the barge Nera yes
terday, and by the time the work is
finished the entire current will be turned
and the brush mattresses will quickly fill
up with sediment and make the embank-
ment water tight. The brush will continue
to settle. and more will have to be added
| later on, but the break will have been
pretty effectually closed in the course OF a
| week or so.
Major Heuer, the Government Engineer
in charge of the Sacramento river and its
Improvement, came to the city on Friday
evening and spent yesterday at the scene OF
operations. He seemed to be satisfied with
the manner in which contractor Simpson
is doing the work, but had a few sugges.
tons TO offer on the subject. On former
visit Mejor Heuer stated that the work
then about to be done was intended to be
only temporary-that is, the object was to
turn the current back to the original chan.
mel while the volume of water is sufficient
to scour ont the sand deposits that had
| formed below the break Later on. and
after the water recedes below the natural
banks of the river, stronger levee will be
| constructed across the crevasse.

A Non-Upion Fisherman's Charge Against
Member of the Union.

A NOn-UDion Fisherman's Charge Against
Member of the Union.
About twenty fishermen engaged in fish,
ing on the river near this city lately formed
union and agreed to sell their salmon
catch to one firm in this city. There are a
few fishermen who do not belong to the
union, and one of them, named Reynolds.
set his net the other day in the river near
the city.
Thereupon union man, known as "Big
Harry" went out and set his net few feet
ahead of the other. A charge of disturbing
the peace was made against him, and he
was arrested by Washington Constable
and taken before Justice Wetham The
case will probably be tried tomorrow. The
union fishermen have employed E. c. Hart
of this city to defend the case.
One of the members of the Fishermen's
Union stated to SUNDAY UNION reporter
yesterday that Reynolds was one of the
first to propose the formation of the union,
but did not join it when it was formed:
that the fishing is conducted under rules
made by the union, and that all mem beers
Of that body conform to them. One of the
rules prescribe the order in which fisher
men shall take their Layout" each taking
his turn in regular order. On the occasion
referred to, it was big Harry's" turn to
go upon the drift with his net. REYNOLDS
came up with his boat and put out his net,
when the union fishermen went in above
him and took the drift.
He says there was no disturbance what
ever, and that the union fishermen are at
a loss to know where the disturbance of
anybody's peace comes in. There is no
law on the subject OF precedence in the
right to spread nets in the river, but this
matter is regulated among fishermen by
mutual agreement.
