Gruesome FinG at Tonopah

Tonopah. New. Nov 15.-The decom-
found last night in the face of the North
Star tunnel on Odde mountain. Every
indication goes to show that the man was
murdered and that robbery was the mo-
tive that prompted the dark crime. The
inquest was held today and from the re-
suit 1t is learned that the man had been
dead for at least six months.
On the body was found money belt.
1t was empty and had the appearance OF
having been rifled; nothing was found in
1t A poll pick was found close beside the
body and this was probably used to COM
NIT the crime, for the skull was fr'ghtfui-
ly crushed in several places The clothing
had been thoroughly rified and nothing
by which the dead man could be identified
could be found upon the body.
These facts were brought out at the in
quest held by Coroner Lindsay. The ver-
dict OF the jury was that the man. whose
name is unknown, came to his death In
manner unknown to the jury.
The affair is clouded In the deepest mys-
terry. 1t is Tonopahs first mystery and
many theories are advanced as to the
cause. One is that the man was enticed
here for the purpose of purchasing a
mine. The murderers met him upon his
arrival and on the pretext Of showing
him over some mining property enticc d
him TO the North Star tunnel There they
carried out their crime and after robbing
the body left 1t buried beneath the dirt
and rocks.

CHRISTI MAS IN BOSNIA
Queer Yuletide Customs of the Black
Mountain Peasants


Lest any should suppose that the peas
ants of Bosnia and Montenegro and espe-
cially those of the BLACK mountains
proper do not earn their Christmas feast
it should be known that for six weeks be-
fore the anniversary of the nativity the
people do not put meat Of any kind into
their mouths, says The Chicago Tribune
Perhaps nowhere else In the world can
be found so curious an intermingling OF
Christian and pagan rites at Yuletide. The
peasants even mingle relics of ancestor
worship with their observance Of Christ
birthday One of their practices at o.
season dates from a time when iron -
unknown by their forbears.
The night before this eastern people be-
gin their six weeks fast prior to Christ
mas day all the meat dishes in every house
in the land are put upon the tables. When
supper is ready each member Of the fam
lily takes a bit of each kind of food and
proceeds with 1t to the roof OF the house,
where it is placed IS u potent charm
against witches and uncanny spirits. This
custom Is traceable directly TO a practice
Of extremely ancient times, when food was
placed on the house tops as Offering TO
certain household spirits.
At the supper all the meat in the house
Is eaten and If this proves to be a physi-
cal mpossibility at one sitting the >lem-
bers of the household must needs rise IN
the middle OF tie night and finish the re-
past. After the meat has disappeared
each partaker must rinse thoroughly his
mouth lest a bit of meat adhere to the
teeth The next day no one eats any
thing. IL the fast be broken, the culpril
certainly will be shot with arrows by tht
spirits. 1t is the duty on this day to pcl
out a pig, sheep or a goat to be fat
tened for the Christmas feast. The ami
NAL is killed the third day before Christ
mas, and no more terrible misfortune car
! happen to a peasant than not to have
"bloody knife" in his house on that day.
