DEATH OF AHVOTE.

their man, and would be able to give
an account of themselves in a short
time. Nestled in a cleft in the rocks
ov%erhanging the normal Ahvote lay in
wait. Steve marched up the pass, but
Pete was nowhere to be seen. But
Pete was up on the rocks waiting for
the time to come when his cousin
should lift up his body to peer after
Steve. The time came, and Pete's rife
rang out. Ahvote received the bullet
through the lungs and toppled from
his perch into the road as Steve sent
in a secon shot. AS he lay there gasp
ing for breath. with a froth of blood
on his blue lips, the two pursuers
walked up to him. With Indian
stoicism he waited for the end.
"Why did you kill the white men %
asked Steve.
Hate Injun. Hate paleface. Want
kill somebody" was the reply gasped
out by the dying desperate as the red
gush sprayed owe his chest. Then he
faced his cousins with a face set and
stern, and refused to speak again.
With a common impulse Steve and
Pete raised their rifles to their Shout
ders and two bullets crushed into the
head Of Ahvotc. His crimes had been
avenged.

dead earnest. Ahvote's cousins. Steve
and Pete, took up the trail in Indian
fashion. With a knowledge of their
man and a skill in woodcraft greater
than that of the best dog that ever
drew the breath Of life, the two cous-
ms started out on a jog trot with the
sheriff and his posse. They followed
the fleeing murderer u~nerringly. Down
into Black anO they trailed him.
Out to the Cottonwood canon and
down in its gloomy depths they trailed
along, silent and intent.
Out in the middle of the river, rapid
and broken by sunken rocks; swiftly
whirling in eddies which make naviga-
ton a thing of dealy peril, lies a little
island. Sullen and silent, Steve and
Pete pointed to the island and insisted
that the trail led there. When night
fell the crossing was made with diff
Guilty, but in safety.
He did not wait for the coming of
his enemies. Over across the river in
Nevada is the region known as Death
valley, utterly impenetrable to any but
the birds, the wild animals, and the
Shnshones. So over the river he swan,
ard made for the Death valley. But
his Nemesis was on his trail, and do
what he would he could not shake
those two cousins.
With morning the exploration of the
island was commenced, but Steve and
Pete made for the western shore with
out any ado. There they soon found
what they sought, and again they
pointed to the west and again they
said: "Over there" They had located

AN ~ VI HAS NAiSA
the body of the murderer lies in silent
evidence that he has paid the penalty
Of his crimes. Ten lives were blotted
out by him before he resorted to flight
from the wrath of the white man and
the dog-like persistence of his tribes
men sent on his trail with orders never
to return without tangible evidence of
This death. AhvOte was a Piute. Ten
years ago Ahvote had a brother who
shot and killed a white man. With a
yell of defiance and triumph he lodged
the fire of the Infatuated miners of El
dorado and fed to the Businesses of
the canons. Here he was safe from any
pursuit but that of an Indian. But he
was not safe from that. The white men
held a council and decided that the
murderer must be found. The tribe
WAS notified that unless satisfactory
evidence was furnished of the death of
THE fleeing criminal the whole branch
would be tossed into the raging river.
IA poWwow was held and the law of the
indians was invoked to punish the
murderer. That law provides that
when death is inflicted by one Indian
he must be punished by his nearest
relative. Ahvote was chosen as execu-
tioner of his brother. He trailed his
brother, guarded against surprise and
death for himself, and carried back the
head of his ~childhood's playmate for
the white man to see That was ten
years ago. Ahvote withdrew from the
tribe and set up his lodge apart from
all his friends and kinsmen. For ten
years he brooded over his wrongs. So
he sat and smoked, and smoked and
sat. But he was ripe for the final
chapter of a desperate life, and when
he opened hostilities he took ten lives
for one. One day as Ahvote sat be-
fore his lodge fondly lingering his rifle
he saw a couple of teamsters with their
teams winding in and out of the tortu-
Gus road which leads from Ell Dorado
to Kingsman, the latter the county seat
of Mojave county. Like a cat he stole
nCislessly forth and hid himself on the
trail where the two men must pass.
There was a couple of sharp reports,
two puffs of white smoke, and Lars
Franzen and Ben Jones lay writhing
in the road. They died with their
boots on. Ahvote sprang to his feet
gave the Piute yell, and then skulked
into the rocks. He was running
amuck now. and woe betide the white
man who crossed his path. AS he
prowled about seeking for more vic
tins he spied a brace Of miners Just
coming from their work. Again the
spiteful crack of the rife was heard,
and Chris Nelson fell with a bullet in
his head. Charles Monaghan turned
just in time to get the other shot in
his head and recognize the slayer
when he, too, fell, the fourth victim
in less than half a day. That night
three others whose names are I'M
known vent across the big divide,
sent by the shots of the bloodthirsty
Piute.
Then Ahvote took to the woods. He
had slain everybody he could sight
and he made for the canons which

Mr.. DALE's MOTIVE.

The Tribune says that from an en-
tirely reliable source the information
I comes to it that Mr. Dale openly de-
clares that the object of his resolution
OF Tuesday night, was to abolish the
office Of chief Of police; that his ac-
ton was aimed solely at Chief Pratt,
and that his grievance was that Mr..
{ Pratt had opposed his election as
mayor. What the source of our con-
temporary's information was, of course
I it only knows, but it was hardly so re-
liable as it appears to think it was. As
TO what Mr.. Dale's intentions We're in
Introducing the ordinance he must be
a more reliable authority than our con-
tenporary's informant, and Mr.. Dale
! tells us that against Mr.. Pratt he has
no grievance or i'll feeling. He further
says that his sole object in introduce
ing the ordinance abolishing the office
of chief Of police was to resolve a legal
doubt as to whether or not the Office
would be vacated at the expiration of
the terms of the members of the present
city administration. Some seem to
think it would. and some that it would
not. Air. Dale became convinced that
Chief Pratt held the view that he would
hold over, and that it was his inten-
ton TO hold over, and that some of his
most intimate political friends were
urging him to pursue that course; that
they held out to the chief the idea
that if he would do this, there would
be no nomination for chief OF police
sent in, and that Mr. Pratt would con-
tinue to hold the office. Mr.. Dale says
that il any such scheme is on foot it is
his purpose to Illustrate it, not because
Of any pique or disappointment. but be-
cause he does not believe in hold-over
officers. In his opinion, each new ad-
ministration should fill all the appoint
i've offices anew, not necessarily with
new incumbents. but that if old incum-
bents are to be retained they should be
retained under new appointments. That
IS Mr.. Dale's position in this matter,
and none other is. He is not a dis
gruntled candidate seeking to wreak
vengeance, and to make that charge
against him is to charge him falsely.
During Mr.. Pratt's incumbency of
the office of chief of police the hound
ing of him has been the work, princi-
pally, of the Republican mayor and
city attorney, and not of any one else.
And Mr.. Dale's ordinance cannot be
construed to be a bounding of him,
even by putting the most tortuous con-
struction upon it, unless it is the in
tention to have MIR. Pratt hold over.
