learned that Is particular Indian had
a brother am@hg the few that had been
captured. He was told to return to his
camp and bring back to them the head
of his brother, the murderer. Failing,
they would organize a large party ana
AeNtermiHate all the Indians on the Mo.
/ 1ave desert. The Indian soon returned
with the ear OF another Indian, which
lie said WAS that of his brother, whom he
4 had slain. The desperadoes wanted more
/ proof. Under threats the Indian did re,
turn with the head of his brother. This
seemed to appcase the wretches, and
no massacre followed 1t is believed,
/ however, that white man assassinated
the murderer and compelled the broth
cr to bring in the head, and claim that
lie murdered his own brother.
However since that time the Indian
has become morose aud has taken to
the warpath. lie has followed the trail
Of the miners through the rayines and
canyons and shot down a paleface
whenever found. At last accounts he
has assassiuated nine men and two
women, none Of them being a party to
the deed which drove him TO seek such
hellish revenge.
Indian trailers are often used in these
expeditions, for there are renegades
among the red men as we'll as other
races. The traiIers hang around the
towns, have forsaken the life of yaga-
bondage and become sufficiently civ
iljzed to betray their people-for a
price. They are, however, not trusted
by the white people, and when few
desperudoes attempt to regulate" the
town, they occasionally shoot one OF
these domesticated Indians, Just to see
him fall When of duty, he trallers

made by the squaws and children-the
Indian brave generally considers it be-
meath his dignity to labor. The squaw
also does the cooking, gathers the wood, |
and brings in the brush for the CON
struction of their rude huts.
The Indian trailer is selected for his |
keen eyesight and sharp hearing. Along
the trail, almost obscured by drifting |
sand, he can see the footprints which |
tell him whether it is that of an In |
dian or a white man, and the number. |

epoch which marks the growth Of this
great republic.
Mark youl The capitoI building is

no congress. nor parliament. nor reich

But the congressional library has

triotism in this fact.
The proper place for the congression-
al library is in the capitol building,

should naturally be placed in the same
building with the congress. ANYBODY.

The Indians Of the desert possess the
knowledge of the whereabouts Of num-
Der of springs hidden around ia the
lodges and under rocks which they re-
fuse TO tell TO the white miners. Hence
they are truiled in every direction.
Some of them also know the oca-

which they also refuse to reveal,
but occasionally bring in guam

at the stores principally for whisky
