A Navajo Superstition.

No Navajo Indian will ever make q
campfire Of wood from tree that was
struck by lightning or that might have
been. If such a fire is made by an ir-
reverent white man. the Indians will
retire to distance, where they cannot
feel the heat or smell the smoke. and
they will go to sleep in their blankets,
fireless and supperless, rather than eat
of food prepared on that kind Of fire.
The Navajo believes that if he comes
within the influence Of the flame be
will absorb some Of the essence Of the
lightning which will thereafter be at
tracted to him and sooner or later will
kill him. Up in the mountains more
than half the great pines are Scared
by lightning, but no wood from them is
used. Almost any old Navajo can mar
rate instances where the neglect Of
this precaution has resulted disastrous
ly, for men are sometimes killed by
lightning in region where thunder
storms are frequent, and it is but q
step from the effect to the cause.

switch tracks at Ashland avenue when
the conductor asked the man for his
fare. He took S. bill and was about
to make change when he saw the

"Wait a moment" he said and dart

"Stop the carp roared the excitable
passenger, who saw the conductor and

''Hes got my money!
The would be "holdup" man had
reached the front door when the car
flashed past the conductor, who was
waiting for the rear platform. The
passenger tried to jump from the car,
but found it impossible because of the

he made a mad dash for the rear door,

Manila, May 7.-General PANTHEON
Garcia, the highest insurgent officer
except Aguinaldo, was captured yes
terday by Lieutenant e. V. Smith, Of
General Funston's staff, in the town of
Jaen, three miles northeast of San
Isidro, province Of New Ecija.
Spies reported that Garcia was sick
and had been compelled to hide at Jaen,
and Lieutenant Smith, with Lieutenant
Day and forty cavalrymen, surrounded
the town. The spies led them directly
to the house where Garcia was, dis
guised as a peasant, only a major and
two servants being with him. These
also were captured.
Garcia commanded all the insurgents
in central LuZOn, several generals, in
Guiding Pho del Pillar and Mascardo,
being under him. He was the director
Of the Filipino guerrilla operations.

here from General Young reports that
Aguinaldo has rejOined the rebel Gen

is with TinO, and it is presumed they
are planning to resume fighting dur
