supposed to I;o Descended from Wrecked
Swedish Sailors.
The Mayas, inhabiting the Sierra
Madrc mountains in the lower part of
Sonora, arc supposed to be the de-
scendants of the crew and passengers
Of Swedish vessel wrecked on the
Mexican coast long centuries before the
birth of Columbus. They have, accord
ing to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, q
tradition that their ancestors "came in
a great canoe over the big salt water
many hundreds of moons ago" They
have never been conquered by the Mex
leans.
They are nominally under Mexican
rule, but are in reality governed by
their own chiefs. Whenever the Mex
lean government interferes with them
they take up arms and they have got
the best of every scrimmagc thus far.
The Yaquis arc their neighbors and
these two war-lilxe tribes have rcciproc-
ity reduced to science. Whenever the
government interferes with the Yaquis
the Mayas come to their assistance and
vice versa Mexican troops cannot
stand before Mayas or white Indians.
They are the most desperate fighters on
the North American continent. Like
their neighbors, the Yaquis, they are
mostly Catholics. Although quite prin-
tive, almost savage, in their mode of
life, the standard of morality is high.
They live principally by the chase, but
cultivate some corn and garden truck in
the. valleys. The mon are large, we'll

DEADLY EXPLOSION.
Five Persons Killed and Five Injured by q
Dynamite Explosion at Emington, Ill.

Five Persons Killed and Five Injured by q
Dynamite Explosion Mt Emington, Ill.
EXTINCTION. Ill, Oct. 1!.-By the pro-
mature explosion of dynamite five per
sons were killed and Eve injured, two
of whom cannot live.
The dead are: Christopher Eyer, of
the firm OF Eyer Bros, well diggers,
Dwight, ILL.,; c. Fowler, Ellington, Ill;
James Cromwell, Dwight, Ill; Fred
Eyer. Olney, Ill, cousin of Eyer broth

Of Eyer brothers.

ington; William Wyllie, Emington;

Wyllie Bros, of Emington, who are
weil-diggers, had contracted with the
city of Emington to furnish n well.
Having gone down to n depth of S05
feet their drill broke and they were
unable to go any further, hence they
engaged Eyer Bros. to use dynamite in
order to further their work.

filed with dynamite. They had filed
the tube and were Gaping it with

THE GOVERNMENT SECURE.
The Government Not Likely to Lose by the
Union Pacific Receivership.

The Government Not Likely to Lose by the
Union Pacific Receivership.
OMAHA. Neb., Oct II. - General.
Solicitor Thurston, of the Union Pacific
road, differs from those who fear that
receivers certificates will be issued
and, being paramount to the govern
ment's lien, will leave the government
holding the bag for what the road owes
it. He says: There is no human
probability of any receivers certificates
being issued unless it may be to
prevent the sacrifice of valu-
able securities of the company, held as
a pledge or as u trust for the payment
of loans and in that case receivers
certificates could only be issued by au-
thority of the court to prevent the sac
rifice of securities worth much more
than the amount they stand pledged
for. The road will pay operating ex-
pensesS and more. 1t is not a bank
rupt concern. There is no possible
security which the government
could have for the protection of the loan
such as it receives under this receiver
ship In fact, if the management had
gone on until the interest bearing Sc
curities were in default, making the
individual companies liable to foreclos-
ure proceedings, know of no way in
which the government could have pro-
tected itself except by having the prop
erty placed under receivership.
