For during the jmst moon, and to cap, half an hour they made no inovo the climax a MtjKoe of a chief ment, when the chief mudie.ino wan then very -sick and would die ! man aitwe nnd utartetl a little lire, if the witcli vn not dii-covered ! which put forth little Hume but a nnd nut out of tho way. He hesi- tated H)iiu'wlmt before adniittino ... - that the upectcd c.ulpirit hail been arrcoted, nnd that the medi cine men of the trihe would hold a council that afternoon to pass uiHUi hi guilt or innoceiibe. I could not induce Juan to allow me to attend the council, but at lust lie promised he would return ait noon as the iuipiinition was over ami inform mo of the rouilt. It was probably in tho hope of further presents that .1 linn ret i in etl according to apK)intment, and in the geiitcntions manner cnarae - tertbtic of the Indian iicpiaiutcl me Willi tne hituaiion: "iiim heap bad; go to hell quick. Hi full i'iiiii witch." It is an inoxc 1111 xor- able law of tlie Piiinin thai when ever one of their number is pro nounced to he hewitehod he shall be put lo death, as his prenenee thrcateiH the lives of all with whom he comes in contact. The manner of the execution is partic ularly inhuman mid barbarous. The "poor victim of fanatic Mipcr klilinu ha, his hands t-ccuroly hoiiud behind him, while thongs aboxe thu knees present him from running with any degree of speed. Ho is tlien turned looi-e, to be elub Llid to death or pelted with stones till life is extinct by squaws of the triU-. who take fiendish delight in the performance of their repulsive work, while the men stand ly hhriuking anil applauding while the torture is being inllicted. Knowing these facts nnd appre ciating that it would be futile in tne to make any elfort to mivo tho life of the unfortunate Indian - I inquired when the witch would be kilhd. "Him no die. Iliui say medi cine man dam lie. He go moun tain, bhow medicine man heap lie, him nodie. I'gh!" Fmui this language, which to one unacquainted with the Indian would naturally prove quite incom prehensible, I was able to under taml that tlx w itch va entitled to a right of appeal of Mime sort, and that the test of the wisdom ami justice of the decision of the llieoiciuo uieii wi.j io oc mane un the mountains near Montezuma's bond; probably on Snerilieinl Peak. As .limn told uui that the matter was to be settled the next (lay, I silently icsolved to witness that which' I had lensoti to imagine would be ii very unusual and pecu liar proceeding of a very primitive nice. Long before sunrise the follow ing morning I saddled my riding . . . I! ... I i i horse, and, taking with mo a pros- pector's hand pick, u cantet in of water and a good pair of Hold glass e.t, started lor the mountain rang From lire vious research was convinced that it would be iuqios sible for me to bide mynelf from the oli.ei valion of the Indians on the lop of Sucrilicial Peak, ami theiefore resolved to i-eeure a sta ti ui on ome adjacent ridge, where, without being feen myn'lf, I woiihl I be able to watch all the mow-incuts i f the I'ima '. Whee I arrived at J the range I tethered my horo in a place vv here he would not be likely to be noticed and begun climbing on,' thu loose rocks with which 1 the uioiintaiii sides were covered, lin.dly reaching the. summit and se curing a ioition nboiit UUD j.trd-ea-i of Sacrificial Peak, and at a gn it r elevation. My cionehing l-ehind the largo rocks I would have an uninterrupted view oT that point, without the slightest danger of being observed from it. After waiting for altoiit an lnnn my vigil was rewarded by hearing the monotone sounds of Indian sing, uud about half mi hour later some twenty or twenty live Indian.. whom by the mentis of my glass 1 vv.it ublc to recognize h the chief, iiuiiiciii ' men ami prominent im-n of tl.e trihe, made tliuir ajipemauee on the summit uf the peak. It was thou about U o'clock in the morning nnd very warm the mouth lieing .May' and the lazy I'iiua seemed omuwhat overcome ns the result uf thoir exertions in making the precipitious ascent. They sut down in a circle sur . heavy volume of Miioko. After the liinoko nroie in sulllclent tpinn titic he began fitiitiing it in diirer ent directioin by iihiiiih of a blank et, breaking forth in a weird, mo iiotouotin chant, the refrain of which wn taken up by all the In- Minus presont. On the Hide of the , peak which 1 was facing aroee a j sheer precipice fully 'J00 feet high . from which tit n dintnncc of about , forty feet from the top, a ledge of rockn, perhnp twenty feet in width, projected. An tho nong reached it height two I'imu step- , k-vi io tne euge uiul negan hurling riHMis ukjii the Iwlge below, uutl I could also see the others were do ing something with the prisoner. In u few inriuteH the nnfortunnto ictiin walked liruily to tho preci pice, standing as erect 1 1 s a boldier on dress jiaiiele and giving no evi dence of trepidation or dismay, lie was entiiely stripped of hts clothing and was a beautiful spec imen of physical manhood, whom, to my horror, 1 momentarily ex pected to see hurled from tho mighty bluir it to eternity. My surprint', however, was gi'ently ex" cited when I saw him mm! himnelf on the edge of the precipice and i-wing gently into the air, being sii-pended by a stout rope which w as altaclu d lo -!nijm around the breast, under the arnit and over the -liolllili i, all f.'ii-teued together at the shoulder blades, where it would be imporsihlo for him to reach the knot w ith his free hands. Several more ns-ks were hurled down iik)ii the ro-ky ledge, and then all was silent. While I wait ed suboqueiit de elopmenls in painful suspen-c, in order to de termine the object of the strange actions of the Indians, the unfort unate w retch win being slowly and eaiefully loweietl to liis fate, and when but a few feet from the pro jecting rocki I In ai-tl a sound re sembling OM-ajeng steam from a distant engine, l iving my glass-e- Umii the place where he would soon step, 1 noticed that the little rocky shelf seemed to he in motion, (ireat heaven! Such awful de- i pr.tvity of hum m nature, such sickening ami humble atrocity I coiiiu not witness, uiti not wisuess, and I turned my hew I away from the revolting sight. The poor Indian wa buing lowered into a den uf thousands and thousands uf loathsome, writh ing, venomous rnltlcauiikcj, made blindly mad by the nicks thrown upon them, and were waiting for revenge to strike his naked hotly when it came vvithin reach --and the hissing sound I heard !I00 yards away, were signals of warn- ing. I he RMir recourse of seeking a preferable death by plunging over the elilf was denied the wreleh, for the six slalwart bucks who held the rope above would never giv e it play enough to per mit to such action.
