Indians Feeding
 Children to Snakes

According to the sworn statement made by Catholic priest to United States District Attorney Lleweilyn of New Mexico, there is a small Indian pueblo in the territory where the ob- servance Of snake worship is carried actively forward, says the Fl Paso Herald.
 The priest is said to have sworn that the Indian inhabitants of the pueblo .eed their newlyborn infants to an enormous serpent worshiped by the tribe. It is said that in the ab- sence of specific statute passed by the United States that will cover the offense. Major Llewellyn has turned tte afbdavits of the priest oyer to the prosecuting attorney for the territory, and it is understood that the territor- ial grand jury of New Mexico will take action.
 In the sworn statements made by the priest it is declared that the par ticular pueblo is set apart from other settlements and that the attention of the religious man was called to the matter by the fact that for some time there had been no increase in the pop ulation of the Indian hamlet. This aroused his sIspicions.
 In the settlement there was one house to which the priest was slways refused admittsnce, and whispers reached hIs ears that in that place vas kept the snake worshiped by the Indians, and fed with their newborn babes. It is said that the statement is made in the sworn affidavit that such is the case and that for several years the people have been :n the habit of offering up their uffsprings to satisfy the hunger of their wierd deity. In view of the fact thst the in- cident has been brought to the atten- ton of the grand jury, action is ex- pected.

Board of Equalization
 Transacted Business

To assess the Arizona railroads which the territorial statutes provide must be done once 6 gear. members oi the territorial board of equalization met at Phoenix this week. Chief Deputy Lsutz of the aGditot's office wac made cretary of the board.
 Members present in addition to Auditor Page, who is ex officio mem Der, were the following: Frank P. Parker of Phoenix, Chsrles Bowman of Tombstone, Charles solomon of oolomonville, Andreas Peibel of Tue son and T. T. Coalter of Flagstaff.
 On account of Governor Kibbey': pronounced views on taxation matters a general impression prevails that the assessment per mile for come of th' roads will exceed that fixed TWO year ago. Last year the Southern Pacif' xas placed at slI ,OO0 per mile, sn' may be nearer S20,O00 this year whe, | the board finishes.
 On account of the large number 0 branch roads in Arizona and the diff ierent laws that provide for the mei hC of tber taxation. the board of equal
 izstion held busy session.
 The next meeting will be held i
 August, when all other classes of proI
 erty are to be capitalized.

While the Senate was on the eve of adjournment, Sen ator Frye of Maine rather shocked his colleagues for a moment. He was on his feet making a report from his committee on commerce on several minor bills, a duty he performs frequently and which as a rule attracts little inter est or attention. Suddenly, raising his voice, MT. Frye exclaimed: If can get i'm mediate consideration for that dam bill 1 will promise the Senate not to report another dam bill this session." Amid a general laugh the bill was passed.

Damon and Pythias
 At the SchieffeIin

At the coming performance of Da-
 mon and Pythias. which is to be given at Schieffelin Hall on June %, Tomb stoneites will have the opportunity of
 witnessing one of the most beautiful dramas ever written. The play will be rendered by local talent, who are now being coached by Prof. Lawrence Mccarthy. The mere fact that Mir. Mir. Mccarthy has chargeof the caste, spells success. It is the story told in this drama on which the noble order of Knights of Pythias has been built up to the strong order that it now is. We will shortly tell the story of the play and grve the caste. The produc- ton will be under the auspices of the local lodge of Knights or P, thias and will be given as benefit. We predict that Schieffelin Hall will be packed to tn doors on the night the play is presented.

Scarcity of Cars
 On E. p. & s. w.

Advices have been received here to the effect that if the Fl. Paso a South western railroad company is unsuc- ces.ful in getting hold of sufficient stock cars within the next few days to remove the cattle they were contract ed for by Neal & Hysum from the Greene Cattle Co they are liable to find themselves defendants in a dsm- age suit. Several weeks ago the com pany was notified that the cars were wanted at Hereford, and annouLced that they would have the ears ready. Some forty-five cars were at Douglas to be taken to Hereford for the use of Hysum X Neal. but through some CT TOT the cars were taKen to Deming and turned over to parties there that used them during the night.
 Mr. Hysum, who had contracted for the cattle, has 8 government con- tract in Dakota to furnish the cattle to the Indian reservation and the cat tie have to be delivered on or before June l5, or else he is subjected to a heavy penalty amounting to nearly sl 900 per day. As the matter now stands the Greene interests are at present holding herd of POO be f. CTS at Hereford awaiting the arrival of the stock cars, and unless they are re- ceived during the present week there promises to be some damage suits as su outgrowth of the same.
