BURNED For A WITCH.
Horrible Brutality Among the
Mojave Indians.

Los ANGELES, CAL. Dec. ga
horrible story of the wild law and
the superstition of the Mojave In
dams is told by j. A. Saunders. who
arrived last evening from The
Needles, 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, the Eye, 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 account, Oh Tuesday last a
triple murder was committed. under the
plea of tradition, by the Indians. One
of the prettiest squaws of the tribe,
known as 'Loneta," was married, ac-
cording to the savage rites. about year
ago. She was comely girl, only eight
cen years old, and had picked up some
education. Her husband was one of the
braves, and apparently very fond of her.
Sunday last she gave birth to twins,
niu DO q lCSuIG Riduu pOW-WOW was
called, for according to the Mojave
tradition 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
was so fond of her, however, that he
made strong plea for her babies. but
it was of no avail. The medicine men
held that the old custom must be OBJ
served, and the two little ones were
brought forward and Drained with
club. Loneta was kept for more try
ing ordeal, which she suffered without
complaint. Every one of her personal
belongings was gathered and put into
her 'shack." and she was ordered ill.,
side. She bid her husband farewell and
went in. The entrance was closed.
straw and brush were piled around the
frail structure and fired, and in Two
hours nothing but few embers re-
manned to tell the tragic story. Officers
at The Needles learned the facts too late
to interfere, and the poor squaw, with
the horrid torture, passed to the happy
hunting grounds, where her ill-starred
offspring had preceded her.

DARK FOR pRENDERGAsT.
Closing Scenes OF the Famous
Murder Trial,

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Assistant Prose
cutting Attorney Todd occupied the day
in the Prendergast case with the opening
speech tor the prosecution. He said
that there was no compromise ground
for the jury to consider; that the
prisoner was guilty of murder or moth
ing, and there could be no reason for a
penitentiary sentence. MI. Todd spoke
from the opening of court at 10 o'clock
until 1890, when cour. adjourned fol
the noon recess. At o'clock Mr.. Todd
resumed and spoke for an hour and
twenty minutes. He was at once fol
lowed by Mr.. Essex for the defense
who was still talking when court adj.
jUurned, and will resume his argument
tomorrow. Mr.. Heron will follow fol
the defense, then Mr.. McGOrty, for the
defense, and Mr.. Wade will make the
final plea for Plendergast. The closing
speech of the trial will be by A. S.
Trude, for the state.
Through the arguments of the day
the prisoner sat listless, and apparently
very weary Of the proceedings which
mean life or death Ito him. Not once
did he seek to interrupt Mr.. Todd, even
when that attorney i'll the course of his
address questioned the veracity of the
prisoners mother and brother. At no
time did he seek to give advice to his
lawyers, as he has been very fond OF
doing heretofore. Mr.. Essex confined
himself closely to the points Of the evil
dence on the insanity question. He said
that he believed that if Prendergast
could have gone to Washington at the
time of the great interest III the silver
legislation during the special session OF
congress last summer he would
have killed Cleveland. He did not have
the money to get there. and SO confined
his attention to doing what his i'm
pulsive delusion told him was for the
hest good of the local public by killing
the man who, in his diseased mind,
stood in his way of becoming corpora
ton counsel.

May Send Another.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The prompt.
tude with which the New York was
made ready for sea, and the fact that
the work of coaling her was pushed all
through Christmas. leads to the conclu-
sion that the secretary of the navy con-
siders her presence at Rio of great W.
gency. He said this morning that no
destination had been fixed for the Mi
antonomah. but it is extremely probable
that she also will go to Rio as soon as
she is in readiness for the trip. 1t is
supposed that fear of confusion in the
Brazilian government. and consequent
danger from violence, is what has
caused the entering of a formidable
naval force at Rio.

SUCCESSOR OF CAVITY,

IT WILL BE.
APPOINTMENTS TO COME SOON

Three Prominent Democratic Can
didates in the Field = Messrs.
Davenport, Mahoney and
Brooks Each Backed by a
Host of Friends-The Repub-
licans Have Ono Strong Man.
With the approach of the new year
considerable anxiety exists in local po-
lltlcal circles over the successor of
Judge Canty, the present incumbent of
the district court bench. On Jan.
Judge CAVITY takes his place as a men,
Der OF the supreme court bench, and on
that day 1t will become incumbent upon
the governor to announce his successor.
The different phases of the contest, on
the part of the Democracy OF Hennepin
county, have already been chronicled in
the GLOBE, and all that now remains is
to await the dictum of the governor.
On the part of the Democracy OF Hen
nepin, three names have been men,
toned. being those of Messrs. Daven-
port, Mahoney and Brooks, either one
force of their legal learning and apt
ness. They are we'll versed in the law.
and their qualifications to adorn the
bench are unqueStioned.
Should Gov. Nelson select either of the
gentlemen named he would reflect
credit upon his judgment, and. at the
same time, carry out the natural Sc
quence of politics, by the adherence to
time honoIed precedent. or the
claims and merits of the gentlemen in
question he has been fully advised, but
at the same time it is not to be hoped
that Democratic aspirant would accept
the position hampered by eXactions or
pledges that would in any way bind his
party before the next nominating con-
yentions.
In the meantime the astute Republic
ans have not been asleep. and yesterday
another delegation called on the gov
ernor in behalf of II. j. Gjertsen. whose
candidacy was first mentioned Ill the
GLOBE a couple Of weeks ago. Regard
Ing the talk of combine, it may be said
that the so-called attempted coalition
has fallen through, and that all deals
are off.

THOSE COURT HOUSE BONDS.
Hope That the Supreme Court
viii Reverse Itself

Hope That the Supreme Court
Will Reverse Itself
There is feeling among the Henne-
pin county attorneys that when Judges
CAVITY, Buck and Collins get their heads
together they will reverse the former
decision of the supreme court in the
court house and city hall bond case and
affirm the validity of the Sl,OOO.0OO issue
ordered by the last legislature. The
supreme court held that the law prohib-
iting special legislation made the issue
illegal, but the position now taken is
that the bond act was simply carrying
out the provisions of previous law. In
case of reversal. the bonds will be
issued and negotiated and the court
house pushed to completion.
