! One . day as Conductor Jones was
running from Elmira, on the Erie road
he found among the passengers a boy
who had no money, and who told him
he was poor, alone in the world, and
wanted to. go out West, where he
thought he could do better than he
could do in the East. The conductor
of course told him that he could not
ride unless he paid his fare, 'and,' said
he, when we arrive at the next sta
tion, Corning, you must get off.,p1r 81
The boy promised he would do so.-
On passing through the cars, after leay-
ing Corning, the conductor came across
the boy again.n .Ca1SI avEa SGHgiaO Z

THE McCoOK TRAGEDY.
Wintermute's Account of the
20 74uli Affair. : So -
From the sioux CITY Jcurnal.l

- From the Sioux city JcurnaLl
In all that has been. written or said
in regard to horrible affray at Yankton,
the story of Wintermute,f one of the
principal actors, mas not yet appeared
in print, and as matter of justice to
all, We submit the following as it was
given-in substance-by his friends to
a reporter of fhe-Low7adf, who failed to
obtain audience with Wintermute
himself.
They say that from the time General
McCook first struck Wintermute, in
the saloon, until the evening of the
next day. Wintermute was in de-
mented state having been so stunned
by the blow that he was not conscious
of what was passing, or responsible for
his acti0ns-in proof Of which they
refer to his returning to the meeting
and interrupting it, and using the un-
natural language he did there, as say
ing he had been badly whipped, &c. 1t
is also said that McCoOk's language
was insulting and unhearabie as it well
could be before the encounter, that as
a gentleman it was. very huniliating
to bear such treatment from one who
was physically so much larger and
stronger; ttatapy one woRld be justifi-
ed-in seeking redress after such-an en-
counter, even though in. possession of
all his faculties, and that = McCook' s
attack on him was uncalled for and
unnrOvoked. - - - --.-.-, - - e:
Instead ofiwaiting for him near the

ally, it is said that Wintermute took
the same seat, or near the same seat,
he had occupied when he Was first in.
the meeting, and that he could not see
the General approach through the hall
at ell; at-there.was. no shot fired in
the hall, and that he could not see
McCo until he was in the court room
where the meeting was being held.
They further claim that McCoOk
came to the hall the second time arm
ed, and that by accident the first shot
was, fired by. some one, unknown,
near the door, hich reused Winter
mute, who was sitting near the stove
and who suddenly arose, and as he did
so drew his revolver and fired, missing
McCook, and then advanced and fired
the second fatal shot, laboring under
the impression that General McCook
was firing at him.
To substantiate this they bring res
ponsible persons to say. that before the
affray had fairly begun ball was
heard to pass over the heads. of the
crowd, and that the same lodged in the
end of the room directly opposite the
door. 80 -. -. - =

peatedly. published statements, Win
terrnute was not norsever was, a con-
didate for the Office of Secretary of the
Territory, or any other Office, since his
residence in Dakota. 1tis also claimed
for him that he was a man possessed
of high sense of honor and antaruish-

An Arabian Fable,

An Arabian fable narrates that an
evil genius became. enamored of the
beautiful daughter of aibashaw of Bag
dad. Finding her affections engaged, !,
and that She would not listen to arOth-
er wOoer, the genius resolved to re-
yenge himself upon the maiden, by
mastering the soul of her lover. Hav-
irg done so, he told her he would re-
move the malignant possession only on
condition that she. should give him her
heart. She promised. The lover was
restored, and the wicked spirit deman-
ded the fulfilnIent Of her word. She
answered, az would yield you my heart
if had it, but haXe.iti not. One can
not give what one does not have. 1t is
another's Keeping; it belongs to the
man adore. Ask him for it. If he
will surrender it, my compact Shall be
preserved. Ii he refuse, you have no
redress, for you cannot twice possess,
the same soul, and your allegiance, to
AInafmon cOmpels you to abide by any
covenant you may make with mortals:n
The genius saw that ihe was foiled,
and, roaring with impotent rage, dis,
appeared. ,-.., |rsss.,,, = -, .
The daughter of the bashaW was a
very woman She was a tactician.-
Womaii, by her tact, has always been
able to control her brother, and exercise
the spirit of evil. The eastern tale is,
as true to-day as when it written. Give
woman half a chance with the devil,
say the Spaniards, and the devil
will bcoutwitted.s The agrument aofI
Eden does not disproYes the apborism.
1t was Ewes curiosity, not Satan's
cunning, which undid her. Her most
dangerous foe was within. lRelieved
of that, she would have cajeled z the
Prince of Darkness out of gloom, and
turned his mockery and sarcasm to the
tune of tenderness. Juniusi Henri

A decision touching the responsible
ty of landlords and safety of guests has
just been given in an Indiana court.
1T appearsa Mr.. Dessaner stopped at
hotel in indianapolis, when he was as
signed room with three beds in 1t,
one of which was already occupied,
and was told the third would remain
empty. During the night, however,
it was taken by stranger, who arose
early in the morning and departed, /,
taking with him the watch, pocket
book, ETC., of the prosecutor. The Court
held that the landlord was responsible
for the loss of the guest, in consequence
of his causing him to relax his yigi,
lance by leading him to believe no one
but the other already in the room
should occupy 1t. aII-I F~faI = 5
