Los ANGELES. Cal, Dec. e7.-A hor-
tible story Of the wild law and super.
stition Of the Mojave Indians is told BY
j. F. Saunders, who arrived Monday
evening from the Needles, town On
the Colorado river, on the Atlantic d
Pacific railway. He had heard the Dc.
tails Just before he took the train and
they seem to be corroborated by an &C.
count given in . local paper, Tho Eye,
which he brought with him The Mo-
javs Indian reservation Is about half .
mile from the Needles and the aborig.
ines are virtually their own masters,
having their own laws and supersti-
tions.
From Saunders account, on Tuesday
last triple murder was committed,
under the plea Of tradition, by tho
Indians Ono Of the prettiest squaws
of the tribe, known as Loneta, was
married according to the savage rites
about year ago She was comely
girl, only 10 years old and had picked
up some education. Her husband was
one Of the bravest and appeared to be
very fond of her. Sunday last she gave
birth to twins, and as a result . grand
pow WOW was called for as, according
to the Mojave tradition, the squaw
who has twins is witch and oonsort
Of evil spirits.
The penalty has always been death
for the babies and the mother Lone
ta's husband was so fond of her, how.
ever, that he made a strong plea for
her and her babies. but it was of no
avail. The medicine men held that the
old custom must be observed, and the
two little ones were brought forward
and Drained with club. Loneta was
kept for more trying ordeal, which
she suffered without complaint. Every
one of her personal belongings were
gathered and put into her 'shack" and
she was ordered inside.
She bid her husband farewell and
went in. The entrance was closed,
straw and brush were piled about the
frail structure and fred, and in two
hours nothing but few embers re-
mained to tell the tragic story. Off
GERS at the Needles learned the facts
too late to interfere, and the poor
squaw with this horrid torture passed
to the happy hunting ground where
her ill-starred offspring had preceded
