synopsis of the provisions of the

1t withdraws all original iurisdic-
tlon now vested in the circuit courts

provides that the circuit courts of
the United States shall exercise such

"A Naked Wanderer ON the Mojave Surprises
Two Railroad Men

Two Railroad Men.
+ Extending from the San Bernnrdi-
na meridian on the west to the Colo
radio river on the east and from the
south line of Inyo county ON the
north to the north line of Sau Diego
county on the south is that vast ex-
panse of "melancholy waste" known
as the Malove Desert. Many are the
tales OF privation and suffering en-
dured on this yerdureless expanse.
One OF the strangest and yet true oc-
currences has been experienced near
this place, which is in the middle of
the desert. Last Tuesday evening
as engine 81, Engineer Spencer, was
returning from Lavic, he encountered
the following experience, which is
best told in his own words:
81 had just rounded the curve near
mlle-post 673 and had taken my
watch from my pocket. Noting the
time, c,6:25 o'clock. / returned it to it's
place and naturally glanced ahead of
my engine. What was my surprise
to see not over thirty yards ahead of
me and approaching the track from
the south, man apparently six feet
tall, about thirty-ii years of age,
with long, black hair hanging down
his shoulders and heavy black beard.
He was entirely naked, and his skin
was tanned. Putting on the driver
brake, | brought the engine to II stop
Just us the man CROSSED the track.
After crossing he stopped and looked
at us.
Il immediately crossed over TO the
fireman's side, and as / started to
climb down to the ground he started
Off, / called to him as / reached the
ground, but, with frightened look,
he dashed away. I though | was a
good runner, but tho way his bare
feet got over the cinders and gravel
led me to believe otherwise. Once
OF twice he looked back, but did not
slncken his pace. Reaching the hills,
which arc about half IL mile from the
track, he soon disappeared. The
fireman, who had remained with the
engine, now came up, and we went
around the hill, but he had disap-
pcarcd from view. I confess [ did
not dare to follow him around there
alone. AS it was late, and our en-
glne was standing on the main track
alone, we abandoned further search
and returned to the engine"
