eyes to the sun. There had been rain.
The valley sparkled.
The Indian led the horse down the
trail, the alfalfa-laden cart creaking
after, and stopped at the school

head gave color to the adobe;
cactus climbed to its cornice to bloom.
"Chu-eveh waits" he said aloud,
and stood dark against the day,
majestic, primeval, part of the eternal

Last night he had been Snake

of his people. Naked, azure plumed,
with serpent in his teeth and prayer
wands in his hands, he had led the

MABRAY GETS A JOB
Former Head Of swindle Syndicate to
Manage Largo Hotel in Kansas City
Has Hard limo Finding Honest
Employment.

Council Bluffs, Feb. IA John c.
Mabray arch swindler, is to become
manager Of a hotel at Kansas City.
This information was contained in a
letter that has just been received from
Mabray by c. S. Ranger, postoffice in
spector. who was one Of the men in
strumental in working up the case
against Mabray, and who later worked
with him in the preparation of Ma
bray's famous confession during the
time that the leader Of the gang was
in the federal prison at Leavenworth.
The letter does not state which of
the many Kansas City hostelries it is
that Mabray is to become connected
ever. that he has five year contract
salary, and he seems somewhat elated
over the event.
Mabray had a hard time Of 1t when
he was released from prison He was
Immediately re-arrested upon his re-
lodged in Jail at Des Miones on a state
SAdA &c, A1lSA Y DCiHS ACiCoSCo upOA a
bond for $4,000 to appear in court to
answer to the twenty odd charges still
pending against him.
He could not find place in Dies
Moines which would receive him after
his release from Jail. Every hotel he
approached for board for himself and
his wife seemed to be full, and board
ing house keepers were uniformly more
DESTROYS Of his room than his company.
He finally secured room with widow
in the outskirts, where his wife had
stayed for a time during his incarcera-
ton in the Des Moines jail.
His search for work seemed to be
much according to the same general
effect, from stories he told friends while
in Council Bluffs during December as
the star witness for the state in the
trial of the case against Ben Marks, in
Connection with the operations Of the
gang. and which resulted in the acquit-
tai of Marks.
No one seemed to trust him to enter
their employ along lines for which he
was fitted, and he had considerable DIFF
ficulty in securing a place.
