A STORY FOR TIE BIBLE CLAss.-Appropos
of the triangular killing match related by the
Phoebe Record (and elsewhere appearing is
the following Arizona story: Kellogg and
Carter owned mining claim, and quarrelled
about it. Kellogg was man Of few words
eight and free was his touch upon his re-
volver." With little ado, he fired at his part
ner, and supposed that he had sent bullet
into his breast; but behold Carter was a
good young man, and had Bible in the
pocket of his gray working shirt. The ball
struck upon the sacred book, its course was
turned, and Carter was unhurt. Then the
good young man whipped out his cleaning
bowie-knife, sprang upon Kellogg, and carved
him artistically that his hold on his revOl-
yer relaxed and he was like to die The
good young man stanched his opponents
wound, and rode away for physician, re-
turning within twenty-four hours, having
made total distance of over ninety miles.
Kellogg is recovering. Carter, to avoid ar
rest, sought to cross the river, and this time
the Eible didn't save him. He was drowned,
The moral of this recital is very intricate
But it is plain that Carter wasn't born to
be hanmed

Of some wholesale killing done in the way
known to Judge Lynch, the Phoebe Record of
Saturday says: We learned from Colonel
Jennings the other day, while up here from
Muddy, that a man by the name of Rice,
better known around this section by the name
of "Shorty," and We believe is one of the men
who were engaged in driving off Andy Flies
sheep about a year ago, was recently hung at
blackberry, Arizona. 1t appears that stran-
ger came into the camp where Shorty and his
partner were engaged in prospecting, and
Shorty's partner, who was under the Influence
of liquor, began to abuse him, although they
were perfect strangers to each other. The
new conner, wishing to avoid having any
trouble, went down into the settlement, which
was near by, but, however, he shortly re-
turned up at the mines in search of work,
when ShorGy's partner renewed the attack.
The unknown man becoming exasperated,
turned in and gave his annoyer sound whip
ping, and then returned to the settlement.
He was soon followed by Shorty and his part
ner, who attacked and killed him in the town
The citizens turned out in full force and cap
tured Shorty, but his partner started to run,
and had proceeded about twenty yards from
the murder when his body was pierced by
four bullets. Shorty was then taken and hung.

MORNING APPEAL.
BODIE AND BUSINESS.

Nothing so important to the interests of
Carson has happened III several years as the
opening up of the rich, and apparently perma-
nent mining districts to the southwark Of this
point The augmentation of trade is very
considerable; and the teamsters are reaping a
rich and welcome harvest What stimulates
trade in one direction makes business in many
quarters This is illustrated by the present
comparative abundance in the money market
the unusual activity among our tradespeople
and the feeling OF bouyancy and hopefulness
in all quarters. The renewed activity obser-
vable at the V. & T. Machine shops is among
the many encouraging signs of the times. An
engine with capacity for sinking shaft of
800 feet in depth has already been got nearly
ready for shipment This is one of those
compact, rough and ready machines called
into existence by the necessities of the Com
stock. There are boilers and other steam ap-
phances constructing and repairing there for
the Bodie country. Another year will see
these great shops busy with machmists, smiths,
fOundryaen and other workers. This is bet
ter than that bane of all small industries and
healthy enterprise, ga market" such as the
stock jobbers are always praying for And so
cur little city has its seasons Of prosperity and
encouragement, as well as its periods of de-
preston and dependency. Let us all take
heart Oar darkest days have gone by and
the light CLEANS through the grey shadows Of
the coming dawn.

Faint and dizzy, but feeling that he
must make an effort 10 escape, Captain
Baldwin rose, staggered about thirty
PAGES, and then fell over in dead faint.
When he revived a little he found his
Hindu servant, who had been far too ter
.ified even TO try To help him in his hour
of need, crying over him, and trying To
bind up his bleeding arm. In moment
he remembered all that had happened;
and motioning to the man TO be silent he
got him to help him TO his feet, and with
his assistance staggered fifty yards fur
Their, when exhausted nature again gave
way, and fell to the ground. able only to
murmur in faint voice: Water; bring
me water" The Hindu ran down TO the
lake with his masters hat, which he filled
with water, and having given him lit
tie TO drink. poured the rest of it over hls
head. He then cut his linen coat into
strips, dipped them in water, and with
them bound up the wounds as we'll as he
could. Now" said his master, "put
your rifle at full coch on the ground be-
side me, and run for assistance as fast as
you can" He obeyed, and the Captain,
In this almost helpless state, was left
alone. Night was beginning to fall, and
he could hear from time to time some an
imal moving behind him through the
underground Of matted creepers and
reeds; but he was too much exhausted
either for curiosity or fear, and at last,
through sheer weakness, fell into doze,
from which he was awakened by the
glare of torches A brother officer, after

il was many weeks before he could move
hand or foot. he got at last all right again,
and was as dashing a sportsman "a before;
only he ever afterward took care to give
a bull as wide a berth as possible-in
which prudent precaution he is initiated
even by the tiger. This latter tyrant of
the jungle, red with the slaughter of
scores Of buffalo cows, is careful to treat
with profound respect the grizzled patri-
archs of the herd.

"You are certain of what you say. You
can swear that il was the discharged

Lieutenant.
You have preserved an innocent man
from disgraceful punishment" said
TO him, feeling thankful, for Mrs. Danes
brooks sake. that her husband was
guiltless.
The Lieutenant appeared 10 me like
one who had been awakened from a
deathlike trance, taking up his thoughts
from the time at which he had fallen
asleep, as if he had only been doing for
few hours, and as though the workings
of his mind had scarcely been disturbed.
l fancied that his memory, after it had
been once awakened, had gained rather
than lost its power-at least as far as the
occurrences of that night were concerned.
The last impressions made upon him
were pictured, after the temporary rest
his brain had received, even more wildly
before his minds eye than they would
otherwise have been; for do not all know

and that, in spite of his ugliness, he de-
served her love.
need hardly say that the prisoner was
at once released.
The whole neighborhOod, ashamed of
its prejudice, was not slow to prove the
sympathy and respect it really felt for
the long abused man.
Mrs. Cottrell, too, paid him visit, and
rendered him the apology TO which he
was entitled. Notwithstanding the suc-
cessful operation, Lieutenant Cottrell died
a few months afterwards.
The real murderer, for such he may be
called, managed TO get off safely to
America, where he wrote full confess
ion to his late employer, and to Julia
Leyland, who deeply suffered for her
thoughtlessness and folly.

The facts are as follows: She replied
frankly that she loved him, and meant 10

with rare sagacity settled on the other
side Of San Francisco Bay 10 grow up

plague had swept its effacing fingers
across the comeliness of that young
woman, she wrote him that she had
decided to marry him at once, all penni-
less as he was-had she not enough for

enough for both-enough for dozen
But it was mostly cheek. And the ma
tives of Alameda proudly point out the

Adventure With a Buffalo.

Oh ambers Journal.
The dense, thick brush and tall reeds
and grass which surround the jheels or
solitary jungle lakes are favorite resort
of buffalo. There they feed on the rich
heritage, and approach the water by long
tunnels in the grass and reeds. The ex
IRENE danger of encountering these crea-
lures is described by Capt Baldwin, who
one evening, accompanied by native,
went down TO one OF these jungle lakes,
and hearing something move in the long
grass had the temerity to enter tunnel.
Tn to his ankles in mud, and with scarce
lv room 10 move or turn, he was stralning
his eyes to discover the game, when there
was sudden crash through the brush
wood, and before he could bring his rifle
into position, II was hurled he says, ito

struck me a terrible blow on the back
with his foot, breaking two ribs; and then

of escape to be over. He gave me bad
wound in the left arm, another dangerous
one under the arm-pit; third on the hip
ALI with his horns; and then | found
myself lifted off the ground and thrown
a tremendous somersault in the air.
Stunned and bleeding, our unfortunate
sportsman was pitched upon his head,and
landed behind a low thorn-bush at the
edge of the lake. More dead than alive,
he had vet sufficient presence of mind to
remain perfectly still. A few yards off
he could see his shaggy foe, shifting all
over the scene OF the late tragedy. Sat
isfied with his victory, the buffalo then
raised his head, listened intentiy for a
few minutes, and, to the insxpressible
relief of his victim, trotted off in another
direction.
