Saturday was day worthy of note
on Tillamook bay, being an occasion
when five steamers were in the bay at
one time, says the Headlight. Five of
these, the Truckee, South Coast, Roe
barts. Elmore and Harrison, were ocean
going boats, the others, the Garfield
and Improvement, boats which ply on
the bay. A number of people went
from the city Sunday morning to see
the unusual sight. 1t happened several
during the summer that a boat came in
daily during the week, but it is doubt
full if so many were ever in the bay at
one time before. 1t will not be many
years before it will be an everyday oc-
currence, however.

he proved that his power would last
to just as great degree after the
charm Of novelty had worn off. His
sermon What Know About House
keeping was listened to with the
greatest interest and attention through
cut. The theme. one of the commonest
and plainest he could have chosen,
needed no establishment, and every
body who had the pleasure of listening
to his comparison between their homes
and their daily lives, went away de-
lighted and determined to come again.
The doctor handles his subjects well
and knows how to talk. His creed
seems to be broad one, and no tlnge
of sectarianism is noticeable in the
doctrines he sends out from the pulpit.
Evidently Astoria can expect what may
be termed new impetus in church af-
fairs.

BURNED TO DEATH.
A HORRIBLE AFFAIR WHICH OC-
CURED NEAR NEEDLES.
A Mojave squaw Gives Birth To Twins
and as Result Hor Babies
Were Drained and She was
Burned To Death.

Mr.. J. T. Saunders arrived yesterday
from the Needles and told horrible
story Of Indian deviltry which is corrob-
Grated by the following account from
the Needles Eye
The Indian still possesses many traits
and barbsric practices that close contact
and long association with the whites has
failed to eliminate. The noble redekin
still retains his primitive faith in the
medicine man of his tribe, and has not
abolished the penalty of death for the
practitioner in case OF certain number
OF failures to cure. He still believes, ss
firmly as ever, that the Great Spirit
sends rain at will, and in case OF drought
must be propitisted by rites and prayer.
But stronger than any superstition in
his nature is his belief in witchcraft.
Hundreds OF years of intimacy with
the white race will not eradicate this
inherent faith. 1t is common to all In
dian tribes, the Mohaves among the
rest, and the uniform penalty is burn
ing alive.
Loneta was considered one of the
pearls of the Mohave tribe at this point.
The young women, at least many OF
them, are not dipleasing to the eye, and
Loneta might Justly nave been consid-
cred one of the bsst looking. Eighteen
summers had passed over her head, and
ten months ago che went to live with
the brave Of her choice. She lived
happily enough, rs Indian life goes, and
performed her marital duties faithfully.
Nature asserted iteelf in due time, and
last Saturday Loneta gave birth to twins.
For woman to bear twins is, in the
eyes of the Mohaves, sure indication
that the mother ia the consort of evil
spirits, and is q witch. There is but
one penalty, death for the mother and
the children. The portion OF the tribe
of which the mother was member was
summoned, and it was decided to en-
force the CUSTOM The papooses were
Drained, but the mother was doomed to
a more horrible fate. Everything be-
longing to her was collected and placed
in the "shack" with her, the door closed
up and fire applied to the structure.
With true Indian stoicism, she would
not cry out, and died without MUIR
mer. Not cry escaped, and her soul
passed to the happy hunting grounds
where her new born had preceded her.
In two hours naught was left of the
structure but smouldering embers.
All this occurred less than half mile
of Needless The officers of course would
have prevented it had they known of it,
but Indian justice is swift, and the awful
judgment was carried out, and "a hours
passed before the occurrence was noised
about.

GETTING SOME GOLD.

New Fields in Kern County Profit
A dispatch from Bakersfield to the
San Francisco Chronicle under date OF
the 22d is as follows:
A representative of the Chronicle has
returned from the newly discovered
gold mines on the Mojave desert in the
southeastern part of this county, where
he has been for the past ten days inves-
tigating the rumors OF rich discoveries
recently made there.
He reports that there are five districts
now in operation where dry washing is
done for gold-Red Rock, Goler, Sum.
NIT. Colorado and Ell Paso. Nine COM
panies are making handsome pay, from
one-half to one ounce of gold per man Il
day. About 300 men are at work in the
different camps and as many more are
coming and going. These restless ones,
who stay only day or two in a place
are called ''desert rats"
Up to date Goler district has pro.
duced $50, 900 and Red Rock $4,000 since
October. Bell & Co., in Red Rock,
average over an ounce of gold to the
man daily.
The first rains of the season fell on
the desert Thursday night, continuing
through the next day. This will put q
stop to dry washing for the winter, but
will not give water enough for ordinary
sluicing. The nearest railroad to these
mines ia at Mojave. Goler s about
forty miles and Summit fifty-fvs miles
northeast OF Mojave, on the road to the
San Bernardino borax deposits.
There ie water about every twentl
miles on these roads, but no feed, and
provisions are scarce and high. All the
miners live in tents or camp in open air
There is a postoffice at Keshone, hal
way between Red Rock caiIon anc
Goler. singularly enough there is not q
drop OF liquor for sale in any of ths
camps.
The whole country has been stake,
out by prospectorH, and there is littl,
chance OF obtaining good claim at pres
ent except by purchase. There ia nc
work to be had by those looking io
dsy's labor, the demand Being entlrel

thing. The indications are that the
robbers failed to get away with their
booty. 1t ie the custom of the messen-
gers to 20 to sleep as soon as they cross
the river, not getting up until they ar
rive at Mojave. Things are not gener-
ally put in shape until after Mojave is
passed. Robbers would have consider
able trouble in finding anything until
after the messenger had arranged his
car. No better place could be chosen
to rob train for safety to the robbers
but their chances of getting much booty
without considerable trouble and plenty
OF time Is very bad.
Il am positive saw the two men who
did the job Saturday evening on Spring
street. In fact, they trailed me from
Temple street to within few feet of the
Baker block. ] thought at the time
that they were burglars, and did my
best to have them follow me into the
Baker block. BY the description given
by the tramp OF the man who rode on
the front OF the baggage car, am posi-
tive that he was one of the party whom
l saw on Spring street."

prospects for plowing and seeding.
The outlook ie favorable for heavy
planting of ceresls, and the land in the
county has been put in the best OF
condition by the rainfall. The early
sown grain hae been greatly benefited
by the shower, as before the earth was
becoming very dry.

The prospect for the coming crop is

seem to think the outlook for the next

ing up nicely, and this last rain will ut

as to the result Of the harvest. Every

better than usual this season and are
counting on good yield. The snow in
the mountains will insure an abundance

UNDER The LAWS BAN.
BUT THEY NEED THEIR CHRIST
MAS TURKEY JUST THE SAME.
Prisoners In the County and City Jails
Have y Little Reminder of the
Happy Christmas
Festival.

The unfortunate prisoners, from the
highest criminal down to the COM
monest vagrant, shared in the good
things, in common with the general
public.
Ninety-two inmates of the county Jail
were treated to a turkey dinner, which
Sheriff Cline and Jailor Macy had pre-
pared in the most fastidious style.
Numerous presents were sent to the
prisoners by acquaintancss.
Police Judge Austin visited the city
Jail yesterday morning and released Is
persons who were placed in Jail the
night before on minor charges. The
Judge gave them some good advice and
warned them to not be found in like
condition again.
Jailer Collins treated the 56 city pris-
oners to an extra supply of eatables,
consisting OF roast beef, cakes, pies, etc.
The prisoners both in the city and
county jails seemed TO appreciate the
festival and accepted of the authorities'
hospitality in an appropriate manner.
