An INDIAN MOTHER BURNED.
Victim Of Mojave Superstition
Because of the Birth Of Twins,
Her Babes Butchcred Before She

(By Associated Pres7.)


Los ANGELES. Cal. Dec. ga hor-
rible story OF the wild law and supersti-
ton OF the Mojave Indians Is told by j.
+. Saunders, who arrived last evening
from the Needles, town on the Color
ado River, on the Atlantic and Pacific
railway.
The Mojave Indian reservation Is about
half II mile from the Needles. and the
aborigines are virtually their own mas
tiers, having their own laws and super
stitions.
One OF the prettiest squaws Of the
tribe. named Loneta, was married about
year ago. She was a comely girl,
only eighteen years old. and had picked
UP some education. Her husband was
one OF the braves, and appeared to be
very fond of her.
Sunday last she gave birth to twins,
and as a result a grand pow-wow was
dition the squaw who has twins Is a
witch and consort of evil spirits. The
penalty has always been death for the
babies and mother.
Loneta's husband made strong plea
for her and her babies. but 1t was OF
no avail. The two little ones were brought
forward and Drained with a club. Loneta
she suffered without complaining. Every
one of her personal belongings were gath
cred and put into her shack" and she
was ordered inside She babe her hus-
band farewell and went in. The entrance
was closed, straw and brush were piled
and In about two hours but few embers
remained.
Officers at the Needles learned the facts
too late to interfere.

tants of this port for some time past
have been anticipating witnessing the
most novel naval battle imaginable. The
Nictheroy had been awaiting here the
coming of the rebel warships Aquidaban
and Republica, which were announced
to be on their way here with the inten-
ton of engaging the dynamite cruiser.
The Nictheroy was at sea yesterday
hunting, 1t was announced, for the two
rebel ships with the purpose of forcing
them to do battle.
The inhabitants of Pernambuco, how
ever, were astonished to see the Mic
theroy return to-day. reporting that she

From Rio de Janeiro there is little or no

that the people are getting heartily
