THE NERVOUS AMERICAN.
His Boston Brother Tells What Is the
Matter with Him.

Boston Home Journal
The ingenuity Of the human race seems
to have been applied steadily for the last
few years to the SCATTERING of nerves, and
a more diabolical aptitude for chosen field
OF work was never shown.

BARBAROUS MOJAVES.
Young Squaw Burned and Her Twin
Babies Killed.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. pa horrible
story of the wild law and superstition of
the Mojave Indians is told by J. f. Saun-
ders, who arrived last evening from The
Needles, d town on the Colorado river on
the Atlantic & Pacific railway He had
heard the details just before he took the
train, and they seem to be corroborated
by an account given in local paper, which
he brought with him. The Mojave Indian
reservation is about half mile from The
Needles, and the aborigines are virtually
their own masters having their own laws
and superstitions. From Saunders's ac-
count on Tuesday last a triple murder was
committed under the plea of tradition, by
the Indians. One of the prettiest squaws of
the tribe, known Loneta, was married,
according to the savage rites, about a year
ago. She was comedy girl. only eighteen
years old, and had picked up some educa-
ton. Her husband was one of the bravest,
and appeared to be very fond of her. Sun
day last she gave birth to twins and, as a
result, a grand pow WOW was called, for,
according to the Mojave tradition the
squaw who has twins is witch and a con-
sort of evil spirits. The penalty has always
been death for the babies and the mother.
Loneta's husband was so fond of her, how
ever that ne made a strong plea for her
and her babies, but it was of no avail. The
medicine men held that the old custom must
be observed, and the two children We're
brought forward and Drained with a club
Loneta was kept for a more trying ordeal,
which she suffered without complaint.
Every one of her personal belongings were
gathered and put into her shack and she
was ordered inside. She bid her husband
farewell, and went in. The entrance was
closed, straw and brush were piled about
the frail structure and fired, and in two
hours nothing but a few embers remained
to tell the tragic story. Officers at The
Needles learned the facts too late to In
terfere, and the poor squaw with this horrid
torture passed to the happy hunting ground
where her ill-starred offspring had preceded
her.

four lengths IN front of the varsity, having
rowed the distance in ten minutes twenty Sec
