Carson, were killed by a snow slide near the

early the next morning. Soon after sunrise
they started for the locality where the ami
NAL was last seen. Instead of a bear, they
caught large pOrcupine, and then began de-
scending the slope, which is very abrupt
Approaching its base Paxton held the beast
aloft, and, shouting to some one in the val

behind them, and came rushing down the
mountain. Paxton warned his companion of
the danger, but both were instantly over
whelmed by the rushing avalanche. Their
bodies were found some six hours afterwards

death near Rutland. He entered the house
of farmer and received a meal. He began
TO poke the meat on the table with mis-
fingers, and, when the farmers wife told hi 70
To use knife and fork, he said: 81 was born
and bred in a shanty, and ! amt going To
begin putting on airs now" The farmer
commanded him TO go, but he replied that he
would eat first, and eat in his own way. The
farmer tried To put him out, and the tramp
shouted "Jsck, Jim, come and help me clean
out this shebang!" That made the farmer
believe ne was to be attacked by several
men, and he armed himself with gun. A
fight ensued, in which the tramp was killed
by chance shot. In the dead mans pocket
was map of the New England states. PEN

A MISSING LADY. - Mr.. VIM. F. Fall,
living in Alexandria county, Va, reported
TO Major Richards yesterday that his sister,
Mrs. Anna Austin, who has been boarding
with Mrs Mary f. Cole, No. 1912 q street
northwest, in this city, has been missing
since January Sd. The case was given to
Detective CoOmes, who visited the house and
removed two trunks belonging TO Mrs. Aus
tin TO Police headquarters. Toe missing
woman is forty years of age and English by
birth. She wore, when last seen, a black
dress, black sacque trimmed with fur. and
black bonnet with purple ribbon. 1t is
thought that she may have left for England.
as she was in communication with friends
there, but 1t seems strange that she should
have gone without notifying any of her re-
lations or friends of her intention.
