Said they were Bundozed.

Two men, Jacob Miller, of Utah, and
Jacob Bowman, of Denver, called at
the LEADER Office last night and en-
tered a complaint to the effect that
while en- route from Deadwood last
week they were suspected of being road
agents. Miller, who was the spokes-
man, informed lis that while riding on
the coach in the vicinity of Rapid City,
on Wednesday night, they were forcibly
taken therefrom and subjected to the
influence of chloroform. After recov-
ering consciousness a galvanic battery
was applied. This, they claim, was
done to make them confess that they
had been engaged in robbing stages on
the Cheyenne Sc Black Hills stage route.
They stoutly maintained their inno-
enc and were allowed to pursue their
journey unmolested until they arrived
at Hat creek on Friday night. Here
their tormentors, who, by the way, had
accompanied them, again ''bnlldozed''
them in the same manner. The men,
who were firm as before, were finally
released. Both men are German and 1t
was with considerable difficulty that
they were enabled to tell the story of
their wrongs. They had no adverse
criticism to make upon the stage CON-
pany and We're of the opinion the men
who "bulldozedn them have no connec-
ton whatever with the company. The
inference drawn is that 1t was the flend-
ish work of irresponsible persons who
adopted that plan to make them confess,
then turn them yer and receive a re-
ward. Miller and Bowman are honest
looking men and 1t is not at all i'm
probable that they were the victims of
a gross outrage.

The Next Election.

We will have n rest from election
troubles for a few weeks. Next month,
however, II city election takes place,
at which time a mayor and three coun-
cilmen win be chosen. The gentlemen
who will retire from the council, unless
reelected, are George G. Masten, w.
II. Hibbard and A. II. Reel. AIlthree
have, so far as we are enabled to learn,
given satisfaction. Whether or not
they will consent to reelection we are
unable to say. Mayor Bresnahen, who
Is quite popular, we presume will he n
candidate for reelection.

their ill-gotten plnnder and the priest,
their prisoner. Ere they had reached
their boat the heavens were lighted
with the Iurid flames Of the temple, and
the cries Of the frightened people OF the
village, awakened from their slumbers
to behold the destruction Of their
sacred edifice, we're borne upon
the air. The boats crew has
tened on board their vessel, which
quickly weighed anchor and set all
sails to flee down the gulf. Whether
for good or whether for Ill, her sails
were never furled or her anchor dropped
again. The legends say that, standing
on the deck Of the vessel in the midst Of
it's captors, the aged priest called down
the vengeance Of his unknown God
upon them. He cursed the vessel and
its crew, with the wealth they had
stolen. He cursed the waters upon
which they had come and were then de.
parting. He cursed the despoilers Of
the temple living and dying, and the
burden Of his imprecation was that they
might find no rest for all time. Then
it was that the earth opened wide be-
meath the estuary and swallowed its
waters at single gulp. But the ship
held her way, riding upon the air,
doomed to q never ending cruise. And
this ls the very ship which travellers OF
the desert now see with feelings OF awe
and wonder. o

Diver and Shark.

I dived once in Mobile Bay, where's
put over 300 chains under an ironclad.
The greatest annoyance chat we had
there was the sharks. They didn't
dare tackle usobecause with our armor
we looked more like scarecrows than
anything else. They would come sail
ing along and gradually swim up to-
wards us with their great big mouths
wide open, but when within @ few feet
of us they would stop and lay there,
happin' their fins and looking, 1t SEEM
ed to me, like the very devil himself.
Finally we devised way to scare them
off that never failed to frighted them 80
that they would stay away an hour or
longer before they dare to come back.
The armor we wear Is alright. you
know. Our jacket sleeves were fastened
around our wrists with ana elastic, so
that the air could not escape. By run
ming my finger under the Sleeve of my
jacket / could let the air out, and as It
rushed into the water it woubl make a
sort OF Kissing noise and a volume Of
bubbles shoot up. So whenever those
Internal sharks would come prowling
around me ] would let q lot of air out
and send stream Of bubbles into the
sharks face with a Kissing noise like
stream from q gauge cock. The way
that those sharks would go scooting off
was funny to behold.
