A SON OF AZTECS.
A Member of the PintoS Tribe
in the City.
A Curious Race Isolated, Spotted
and Proud of a Long
Ancestry.

Joaquin Cervantes, descendant OF an
Aztec tribe, but member OF an
Indian tribe, the Pintos, in the
state OF Guerrero, not far from the City
of Mexico, arrived in the city yesterday.
His dress was American except as to
his sandals. These showed rather
more OF skill in design than the primi-
tive footwear of his Indian brethren of
the north. He carried with him papers
OF introduction and religious work.
His first inquiry was for a padre to
whom he was directed by Mr.. A. Barry.
Through the courtesy OF Mr.. G. J. Dyer,
as interpreter, a REPUBLICAN reporter
had aninteryiew with this descendant
OF an ancient race in whose antiquity
be feels pride similar TO that of those
whose progenitors "came over with the
Conqueror."
Few persons who have not visited
that district OF Mexico in which the
Pintos live have ever seen the most re-
markable variety OF Indians in ex.
istence. These Indians, as the name of
the tribe indicates, are spotted. This
popularity is seldom observed on their
iaSSc, Dut Always ou buc uduus, lccl,
arms and body. The dark is darker
than the complexion of tine Pima, but
no Caucasian, unless perhaps a new
born Caucasian babe, can rival in fair
ness the white skin OF the Pintos.
What may be regarded as a phenom-
enon, this white skin is not affected by
exposure to the sun.
Naturalists are not agreed as to the
cause OF the phenomenon; many be-
lieve il to be the result OF disease OF
the skin, the white spots being unable
TO secrete the pigment which would
give it the natural color. which is a
dark brown. joaquin, however, say sthe
spots have been distinguishing mark
OF the tribe from immemorial time.
Notwithstanding his asseveration
that the purity OF the race has been I'M
defiled by contact with Spaniards or
Mexicans, he bears the name OF the
foremost man in the literature of Spain,
the author OF Bon Quixote. Ger
vautes appears to be an Indian OF some
education. Though he does not speak
Spanish with absolute correctness, his
language is good marred only by what
may be idioms arising from lack OF re-
cent contact with the outside world,
and perhaps more nearly approaches
the Spanish OF three centuries ago than
that spoken elsewhere.in Mexico. His
gestures and movements are easy and
graceful, betraying the ease and grace
which comes OF training.

FOUND DYING.
A Stranger Expires Sud-
denly
IN Burgers Corral Last
Sunday.
Almost Nothing Known of the
Dead Man.
Coroner's Inquest Removes a
Suspicion of Possible
Foul PLAY.

4 stranger named McHornbrook died
srddenlv about noon on Sunday in
Burgers corral. Just before he
breathed his last he was noticed and
Dr cameron was summoned, too late,
however, to be of assistance. Those
ahout the corral knew almost nothing
If the dead man except that he had
been apparently in i'll health, suffering
from what he believed to be heart DIS
ease and that he was given to the ex-
cessive use of liquor. He had, in fact,
tbe night before his death been drink
ing heavily of peppermint and whisky.
An inquest was held before Justice
Wharton yesterday. The jury was
made up OF NJ. B. Cox, Dave Goldberg,
". George, IL. II. Wharton, r. f.
Kirkland and S. l.. Redwine.
The first witness was ID. +. Watkins,
manager of Bernard's saloon. He said
the deceased had been in the saloon
frequently; had been there the night
before and had been engaged in quar-
rel which nearly ended in a fight. lie
was about forty-tive years old, but the
witness did not know his name. AS
soon as he heard man had died at
Burgers corral the witness went to see
him, thinking he might have been a
stranger who had been in the saloon
the day before and threatened to suicide
and had tried to get behind the bar to
get revolver for that purpose.
Dan McRae had seen him lying in the
corral early in the morning. There was
when he first saw him another man
with him. He saw him again about
half past twelve. His hands and face
were blue and he was breathing heavily.
JC.C. II. Boone saw him on Sunday
morning come into the corral alone and
lie down beside another man who after
ward got up and went away. When he
came into the corral the deceased was
heavily intoxicated.
Joseph Hanson was also present when
be died, having come up when his at
tention was called to the fact that a
nan was dying. He knew little about
the deceased except that his name was
| McHornbrook that he had been in
town about six weeks, was an engineer
BY trade and was in i'll health.
d.. Cameron was the next witness,
but vas unable to definitely describe
4 the cause OF death, as an autopsy had
] not been considered necessary. He
bore no marks OF violence and his dying
symptoms did not indicate poison.
Deceased was recognized by Dave
Goldberg as a man named McHorn-
brook, to whom he had recently sold
some goods.
H. {. Mcdonald testified only as to
the Identity OF the deceased.
The jury found that deceased came to
big death from natural causes.
There was found upon the body $l.S5.
1t was learned that he had brother
living at Silver City, n. NJ, and a tele.
gram was sent there. Word was re.
celved from the marshal OF Silver City,
that the brother, a wealthy ranchms1,
lived about thirte miles from town, and
mat word had been sent to him. No
reply was received late yesterday after
noon and the remains we're buried.

Records of Canaanite Appeals for Help
Against the Invading Israelites.
The contents of that wonderful
treasury of antique records discovered
in 1887 by peasant woman near the
ruins of the ancient Arsinoe in upper
Egypt have now been laid before the
public in Maj. Conder's work on the
Tel Amarna tablets, comprising a
translation of the text. with introduc-
ton and notes. Inscribed on clay tab
lets.subsequently baked into brick, and
written in Aramaic, the ancient Ian
guage of Syria, in cuneiform char
acters, we have here, says the London
Tablet, nothing less than series of dis
patches sent to the Egyptian foreign
Office about 1850 b. c. from the pro-
tected of tributary kings of Canaan
imploring assistance against various
invasions. The most interesting are
the letters from the king of Jeru-
salem and other chiefs of south
ern Palestine, for in them we
can trace the dismay and alarm Gre
ated by the advance of Joshua and the
Hebrews, called "Abiri," and people
of the Desert" A very striking pas
sage occurs in one of the dispatches of
the fugitive monarch, apparently after
the battle of Ajalon, in which, seeking
as it We're, to apologize for his defeat,
he speaks of the enemy as ''sorcerers,"
doubtless in allusion to the miracles of
Joshua. The date of the exodus is also
shifted back to that assumed by earlier
Biblical opponents, while the contrary

cepted as conclusively established, is

He Was a Fighter.

Marshal Blankenship had stiff fight
with l.. Brown, whom he arrested for
indecent exposure last Sunday. Brown
is man of powerful physique and on
second thought determined not to ac-
company the officer. A slight tap on
the head only infurlated him and a
desperate struggle began. A smart
blow with revolver failed to stop him,
but a second on top OF the head brought
him into sitting posture. After the
loss OF about a quart of blood he became
tractable. He was given twenty DAYS

A Phenomenal Run.

Messrs. Meade Goodove and T. B.

The gentlemen claim to have broken
the record in 75.mile run between
Tucson and Mesa. The time actually
was seven and half hours, two OF
which was taken up in stops. Con-
sidering the character OF the run across
the desert and mountain roads, the
time is phenomenal. They hope that
now figuratively speaking, having
broken the road, co communication may
be established with Phoenix wheelmen.
