4 Mountain Sheep Climbs Into a
Tree and Dies.
fOmaha RaDuhliCan1

A few weeks since some miners dis
covered very singular curiosity in the
mountains near Bonanza City, Idaho
nothing less than the mammoth head ard
horns of a mountain ram grown into
pine tree. The skull was found firmly
imbedded in the growing pine, the trunk
of the latter being eighteen inches in
diameter, with the horns protruding and
one in its natural curve re-enterng the
wood eight inches. Mr.. Fred. Meyers OF
the Challis & Bonanza stage line soon
heard of the ''find," had the tree felled
and the section containing the rams head
neatly sawed of. Mr.. Meyers has ex-
pressed the unique specimen to Thos. l..
Kimball, General Passenger and Ticket
Agent of the Union Pacific, in whose
office it is now on exhibition.
1t was a source of much surmising
Yesterday, upon the part of dozens of
visitors at Union Pacific headquarters, as
to how the horns became thus fastened,
and how many years this lord OF the
sheep tribe has been impaled in the
lonely mountains of Idaho. Some
are of the opinion that the animal, in
search of food, was caught in the forks
of the tree scores of years ago, when it
was mere sapling, and, unable to ex-
tricate itself, there died, the tree grad
ually growing over the skull Such in
stances in the case of deer are very COM
mon, but none has ever been chron-
icled, or at least not reported, in which
the wonderful muscular mountain ram
has met such fate. Another theory is
that some Indian or old-time employe OF
the great fur companies received IL
straight-awav hit from the ram, and in
fit Of revenge hung his ramship up to
recall the incident of the unfortunate
affair and indulge in remorse, but forgot
to take him down. Another is that in
one of those terrific battles in which
mountain rams often indulge each other,
this one was "dodged" by his antagonist
at very critical period, and forked
saplng received the onslaught, never af-
ter giving up its embrace. Still another
is that it is practical illustration OF the
theory of protoplasm. Certain it is the
ram got in a very bad fix, is dead, and is
one of the most valuable and curious
specimens ever sent to Mr.. Kimbalps
Office. .-

Villages on the Mohawk.
National Repository for Decemb ber.l

The village of Mohawk joins Ilion on
the east. It has some 1000 inhabitants,
and depends largely upon lion for its
business 1t is famous for having with
in its limits the glen where Brant and
his Indians lay on the night preceding
the raid of 1778, and the site of the Tory
shoemaker's house. Still farther east on
the south side of the river, is the site of
Fort Herkimer. The Palatines built a
log church here, probably as early as
1880.
A stono church was begun in 1851, but
the work was interrupted by the invasion
of the French and Indians in 1857, and
it was not completed until ten years
later. The people of this community
were ardently in sympathy with the
cause Of American liberty, and the first
liberty pole erected in the States was
raised here. And then began their
troubles. Very early fort called Fort
Kouari was erected near the old stone
church. It's name was afterward changed
to Fort Herkimer in honor of the brave
General of that name. The place is but
a hamlet, and but for its historic associa-
ton would be unknown to fame.
North of the river, about equidistant
from Mohawk and Fort Herkimer is the
village of Herkimer, the county seat Of
Herkimer County. The site of Fort Day.
ton is Just north of where the Court
house now stands. The present popula-
ton is about two thousand, and en-
braces many names made famous by the
courage and suffering and heroism Of the
times of the early wars and Of Revolu-
tionary days The village stands near
the point where the West Canada Greek
flows out into the Mohawk Valley.
The wisdom of the men who erected a
fort here in those dangerous days is seen
in its location at the junction Of the val
leys as well AS by the facts OF history.
Fort Dayton was conspicuous in the mil.
itary movements Of many years. Many
time fleeing women and children found
refuge within its walls from the toma.
hawk and scalping-knife of Indians and
tories.
Arnold's forces destined for the relief
of Fort Stanwix gathered here. From
the walls of the fort the helpless people
saw the blazing ruins of their homes, de
stroyed in Brant's raid. It is no won
der that the children Of the sufferers oi
those days, some Of whom are yet living
and their children In turn, still execrate
the name Of Brant and the tories.

clusion, after laborious examination of
the number of deaths from railway ac-

a person were to live continually in a

in travelling. the chances in favor of his
dying from railway accidents would not
occur until he was $50 years old.

matters of which he talks so passion

Bishop never saw n genuiae Ethiopian
In all his life. He has seen them as
civilized along railways, at dining Ia

he encountered genuine representa-

hold sway in South Carolina, Louisiana
and along the valley of the Mississippi.
The Bishops glowing fancy has gilded
for him colored joss and he bows be-
fore it in humble and insane alteration.
Let him remain here twelYemoHth
and the thin gloss which comes from
anxiety to retrieve ancestral errors and
condone ancestral crimes will disap-
pear. The Boston bishop will see

WHEN a negro has served out term
in the penitentiary his fellow-sympa-
thisers at Paris give him dinner,
and congratulatory speeches are made.
Would it not be well to inquire
whether taxpayers would not suffer less
in making these colored people happy
if the whipping post adorned the pub
lie square of each county town? Va
grant whites that do such detriment
and frighten women and rob homes in
the absence of men would soon bid
Texas and the whipping-post final
adieu. These and nomadIc blacks are
the rulers of Texas towns, giving us
our local rulers and tax gatherers and
taX-consumers. The whipping post,
next after the So suffrage tax, will be
the chiefest reformer and benefactor
of municipal governments in Texas.
Then if we might reform present and
future generations and stop the breed
of knaves by adopting DR.. Linthernm'G
philosophy of stirpiculture, Texas
would prosper as never before and the
Texan of the future would be tha model
man and hero of all coming time.
