STORY Of FIGHT ID ENFORCE \ STATUTE
County TreaSurers of Arizona Did Not Take Very Kindly
 to Change.

PHoENIX, June 7.-Being ap- preached yesterday for a news item Attorney General Clark said he might recite one little chapter that would be of some interest although it is now somewhat historical. He had not seen 1t in print in these parts however. and in view of the fact that 1t affected the entire territory in way it is worth repeating.
 Previous to 1901 the territorial stat 1 utes provided that county treasurers should before making their occasional apportionmeRts to the respective funds into which the money coll scted by taxes is divided, deduct from the full amount of taxes collected. tic salaries Of themselves and their dap. uties. In 1901 the law was chansea so that the apportiunments should
 be made first and the salaries of the treasurers and deputies be paid after. ward, by warrants of the supervisors just as the salaries of ether ,.ouniv officers are paid. Nobody paid anu attention to the change in the law un- til Public Examiner W. C. Foster pointed it out to the county treasur. CTS and insisted on their heed;tg it The difference amounts to just this much, that a certain poILiou or all the moneys collected goes Lo the fer ritoTial treasury for terri;sI:ai nur- poses. If the county treasarera xee their pay before the division, the eff. feet is that the territory is paying in part the salaries of the county treas, uTers by getting no division oI thae much Of the annual revenues. Hera. toIore the treasurers contended that It was only fair anyway as shey did | ccnlderable work for the territory as well as for their respective counties Alter NJ. Fosters instructions the treasurer or Yavapai county who cor tlnued To follow the old practice. MT. Foster conferred with the distfict attorney who verified his position ii, the matter. Still the county treasE-. CT was recalcitrant and Attorney General Clark finally brought sui; against him for writ of raandauus 10 make him comply with the law. Be lore the case came to trial the term ol office Of the Yavapai treasuser had expired. His successor was disposed to interpret the law as the attorney general had done and adopt the new custom in conformity to the general present practice, but, as the suit was already before the eouIt in order to get decision he resisted as his pred. ecessor, had done, and as be had expected, Judge Sloan recently ren- dered decision against him.
 The matter is all settled now and all the treasurers are following rba new law. This story should not be construed as any reflection ou any treasurer for in no event would ii change his remuneration or personal finances. It was merely a difference or opinion between the counties aud the territory.

CHILD EATING SERPENT STORY IS A FAKE
It Is Likened to the Story of the CameIS lin
 Arizona.
(Albuaueraue Journall


 For many years the Arizona camel story has held the foliage for the prize first water, all-to-the-good, biennial American-Excoriagor Sundsy supple nent shocker. Every man, woman and newspaper reporter on the American continent knows the cazSei story, is familiar with the details of how an enterprising Kansas man conceived the idea of making the camels of Sa- hara do duty across the hot sands of the Painted desert and the Mohave; how he imported herd of high class dromedaries, how the business didn't pay. and how he turned the camels loose to graze between Yuma and Death valley. Everyone has seen one of those thrilling tales of how some correspondent with overstrained nerves and an elongated thirst. has seen two or more of these camels foot ing it across the desert EyerytI14le one of these nervous correspondents comes cut west the story bObS up again and goes the rounds. News cor respondents who have been seeing it every few months for the past twenty let it through for old associations oanEs IL hflS 0CAAC NOCo H0A fA%C anu ANG usefulness is not entirely ended yet
 But the camel story has a rival and one that bids fair to take away the palm it has held so long.
 This is the story of the child-eating serpent of Cia.
 Cia, as everyone knows, is an In- dian pueblo north of Albuquerque, now nearly depopdlated, it's adobe huts tuinbling to ruins, it's few remaining inhabitants miserably poor. The Cia were once a mighty tribe. they were thrifty and prosperous and powerful. and it has been dificult for the seien- tists to trace the reason for it's down fall.
 Among the Cia, AS among the Je- meg, the San Domingo and fhe Co chit, the serpent Is held 5n more or less reverence. The legends of yhe P1eblos all So to show that at some time or other in their history the snake was held sacred and Eorshlpped with all reverence, There Is even reason to believe that in the long ego somt ancestors of the Pueblos fed their Children or certain of their child ren to certain sacred serpents and that this legend has come down from a very real.

the people of Cia, of Jemez and of the other nearby pueblos, were feeding certain of their newborn babes to a sacred snake, which was kept careldl- ly concealed in some lower subcellar of the estufa. This story always came from white men who had been asso-
 Hated with the Indians. It never came direct from an Indian. The story was told to a certain Catholic priest. a churchman of intelligence and ablli- ty, who heard it so often that he be came uneasy about it, fearing that there might be some truth in the tale. , He brought it before the United States
 official and an investigation by the grand jury was made The grand jury
 reported that it could find ro eyi-
 denee of any foundation for the story. and the matter was dismissed after a
 further investigation by United States
 officers.
 The story of the legend of the sacred snake and of the grand jury's investi- gations were first told in the Morning i Journal about two years ago. It was | sent out on the wires and ran through | the press of the entire country. Ii
 was even printed in England and
 copied by many newspapers on the continent. Since that time it has been
 bobbing up at frequent intervals, us
 ually in the form of Sunday supple
 ments. the tale having been frequent fly featured in the magazine supple ments of the larger newspapers.
 | And now it has appeared again. | This time it comes from Fl Paso,
 where an enterprising correspondent ] has loaded in onto the Associated | Press. It is said to have been told to the enterprising correspondent by Major William Harrison Llewellyn, United States attorney, who first brought it to the attention or the To- cal grand jury. That the major would tell a story two years old as new
 seems improbable. for the major us lually has a bunch of new ones and he never has to tell the same story twice. But the correspondent says it o-igi- hated with the major The tale has not only become established; it has
 become classic, and it will probably take it's place along with the camel stories and the Yaqui massacres, with the Austin, Texas, railroad builder, 1 and the Peg Leg gold mine
 The Cia snake story first came up before the grand jury back in the au- 1 tumn of 1905, if I remember correct iy," said Assistant United States At.
 torney Medler. Tt has not been be l fore any United States grand jury 1 since, so far as l know"
