HOMAGE TO SNAKES.
Indians Who Feed Babies to and
Worship Serpents.

In spite of the fact that similar
charge was investigated and dismiss.
ed by grand qury some time ago
another complaint has been filed
with United States District Attorney
Llewellyn, of New Mexico, tuat a
tribe of Indians in that territory are
given to the worship of an enormous
serpent, to which is fed the newborn
babes of puebla in which it is
housed and carefully tended and
guarded.
The complaint was filed by a Cath
olic priest, who alleges that dozen
families were segregated from sew
eral pueblas two years ago, and form
ed into puebla by themselves. AL
though it is known that many chill
dren have been born to these fami-
lies, not a child is to found in the
puebla.
This led the priest to press his in
vestigation, with the result, as al
legged, that he discovered that in an
adobe house, isolated and closely
guarded. there is an enormous SER
pent, which is worshiped by the In
dians Of all the pueblas around, and
that every babe born in the small pu-
ebla, and. it is suspected, in many
others, is fed to the serpent.

WOULD KILL ROOSEVELT.
Rumored That Brother of Mckinley
Assassin Was in Canton.

Despite a rumor of doubtful origin
that Michael Czolgoscz, a brother of
the assassin of President Mckinley,
would be in Canton, Ohio, Wednes-
day, the funeral of Mrs. Mckinley
and the contingent visiting of Presi-
dent Roosevelt passed off without in
cident of sinister note.
Taking precautions against the
one chance in thousand that the
rumor of CzoIgoscz's presence was
true, the local police, assisted by Sc
cret service men from washington
and Cleveland, exercised the most
alert vigilance during the president
stay in the city.
No trace whatever was found or
Czolgoscz nor any anarchist, although
three strangers to the city were held
in the jail during the presidents stay.
There was nothing against them,
however, and they were released.
That the police were taking no
chances was evident by the precau-
tions taken at the Mckinley home.
All friends and relatives Of the Nc
kinley family had to go to their car
riages through the front door.
Crowds had gathered In front OF
the place, including number OF men
with cameras, who wished to eaten
snap shots of the president. The
original plan had been changed, how
ever. and while the crowd waited on
north Market street the presidential
marty was led out of the side door TO
carriages waiting on Louis street.
The trip to the cemetary was made
nuietlv and without incident and 10
minuted ahead of the appointed tlme
the president reached his car. A
large crowd gathered for a speech
Int the president merely lifted his
hat and wished them good luck.

FOUR NEGROES DROWNED.
Team and Fourteen Occupants Go In
to Swollen Stream.

Four negroes, Mamie Robinson,
Geneva Sellers, Essie Montgomery
and baby of William Strobles, were
drowned near Moores, Spartanbure
county, Saturday afternoon when q
span of the bridge over the Tiger
river gave away with mule team
and wagon occupied by IA negroes
who were following the remains Of a
colored friend to neighboring Gene
tary for burial.
The wagon containing the corpse
of Nose Lanford, colored, had just
crossed the bridge en- route to the
graveyard some distance beyond. The
corpse was followed by double mule
team.
Fourteen colored people were in
the wagon and just as the team
reached the middle span of the bridge
the span gave way and the mules and
it's occupants were thrown into the
stream, about Is feet below. The
river was much swollen by the heavy
rains of Friday and Saturday morn
ing and the wagon foated doWr
stream. One mule was drowned, the
other being rescued some distance
down the stream.
