ORIGIN OF DEATH VALLEY.
Indian Legend OF n Queen Beautiful as
Cleopatra

Indian Legend OF n Queen Beautiful as
Cleopatra
The Indian legend regarding the ORR
gin of Death valley is an interesting
one.
From the outer edge of this vast fur
nace-it is three hundred miles square
and one hundred and sixty feet below
sea level-one may see far off, treiuu-
lous through the shimmering waves of
heat, a sort of butte that has the form
of ruined castle. The story goes that
in the old days, before the Amargosa
river ceased to water the valley, the
place vas the site of powerful city
ruled by a princess as beautiful as
Cleopatra and as imperious as Eliza
beth. An ambassador to the reigning
Aztec monarch described to her on his
return the glories of the kings palace
in the City of Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magnifcence
of her neighbor, she began the erection
of vast building. All the laborers
and artisans of the city were employed,
and the work was pushed night and
day, for within twelve months the Az
tee ruler was to be her guest, and she
wished to welcome him to palace as
splendid as his own. She exhausted
the resources of her realm, men went
mad with toll and hunger, and at last
the high priest protested. He was or
dered to execu ton. and, dying, cursed
the city for the princess sake. That
night the earth shook and sank, the
river dried up, and the morning sun
poured down flood of heat. All per
ished, and now the ruined walls of the
palace alone remained.
The Amargosa, by the way. is most
erratic stream 1t flows south ninety
miles from it's fountainhead in the
western Sierras, vanishes at Resting
Spring mountain, is in evidence again
for fifty miles. disappears for a space,
then bobs up and runs along turbu-
lently for one hundred miles All trace
of it is lost at Death valley.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 29.-Union Pacific

to nearly 10 per cent The action OF
the court was not altogether p surprise.

went his brothers ON the federal bench

men from striking, but cut the.r pay

sixteen and seventeen-inch cylinders
By the proposed schedule the wages
paid engineers, bremen, hostlers and
wipers will be reduced sixty one-hun-
dredths of a cent per mile, and the

excess of that paid by any of the
twenty-seven roads mentioned in the

reduction in mileage allowance is made
sufficient to cover the equivalent of the
cut on stated salaries On all but three
divisions or districts, the sixth Wyon-
ing district, the Shoshone and Nampa
mixed trains and the Nebraska passen-
ger division, the cut on trainmen runs
as high as in Nebraska, and on some of
the mountain divisions the reduction
in mileage will amount to considerable
more than s. to SIS per month.

BISHOP sONACUM ARRESTED.
Ore OF His Priests, Tired OF Ecclesiastical
Delay. invokes the Civil Courts.

Ore of His Priests, Tired of Ecclesiastical
Delay. invokes the Civil Courts.
LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. 29.-All yester-
day this city was in fever of excite
ment, especially among the Catholic
population. This was caused by the
arrest of the ordinary of the Catholic
See, Right Rev. Thomas Bonacum.
The arrest was made on n charge
of criminal libel, preferred against
the episcopal prelate by one of mis-
priests, Father Corbett, of Palmyra. by
whom, with other priests, charges
against the bishop were some time ago
preferred to Mgr. Satolli. Father Cor
bett said that he had got tired of the
slowness of the ecclesiastical judicial
procedure and had determined to put
stop to the persecution of himself
and his ordinary.
The particular charge on which the
arrest was made was based on letter
recently sent to the parishioners of
Father Corbett at Palmyra by Bishop
Bonacum while the priest was in St
Louis. This letter, it is said. was
a notification to the parishioners
of Father Corbett that the &C.
clesiastic was under the ban, sus-
pended. and warning them to not hold
spiritual communion with him in any
way whatever. nor to take part in any
way whatever in any religious exer-
cises or celebration that the priest
might choose to hold or conduct APP
propriate penalties for actions contrary
to the course indicated in the notifica-
ton. are said to have been threatened.
This latter, Father Corbett alleges
in his complaint, is direct breach of
the order of Mgr. Satolli, in which that
dignitary, by authority from Rome,
had restored the priest to his charge
after his suspension by the bishop,
which occurred in the early part of
last summer. That restoration, he
AYERS, was to last pending the trial
of the case by Archbishop
Hennessy and the present suspension.
while being breach of Mgr. Satolli's
orders is positively without any cause,
and the priest further sets up his belief
that this last suspension was made to
villify, scandalize and defame him and
to crafty the bishops vicious dislike
of him. He winds up by saying that
he believes the bishop must be crazy.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The question of
reducing the interests paid by New

reducing the former rate of 2 per cent.
