AN INDIAN LEGEND.
How tho Mojaves Explain the Division of
the Rices.

How tho Mojaves Explain the Division of
the Races.
The mystery surrounding the origin
OF the Indian race is greatly enhanced
by listening to some Of the quaint leg
ends, says the Los Angeles Herald. Here
IS one of them, related by the older
men of the Mojave tribe:
"At the time of the Mojave, the white
man, the negro, and all other people
lived together with, their god, Mule
rclia, whose mother was the earth, and
whose father the heaven.
They were all supplied with food,
clothing, and many luxuries. Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of i'm.
picmcnts and machinery to work with.
Everything was manufactured, and
especially matches.
"Onc day Muleyelia died, and all the
people, excepting the Mojaves, fed, aft
er looting the camps of everything they
could lay their hands on, not even leav-
ing a match.
Here was pretty state Of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremation!
"There seemed to be no other alterna-
tive than to dispatch a messenger for
u oDulN llOhl VIC VI Ollt lu-
ulinaries of the upper region, and coy
ote was sent to star for some fire.
After q long time he returned with.
out success, and so hungry that he
tried to eat up the dead god. .
"Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up
Mulevelia. ....
"After the cremation, which took
place somewhere near Fort Mojave, the
mountains ut the foot Of the canyon
parted and the Colorado flowed through
and swept the ashes away.
"Mastanho now became chief and di-
vided the Indians into tribes and gave
them their allotmcnts of land"
