ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
German Shot with His
Own Gun.

About half-past seven O'Clock last night
Patrolman German, a faithful and efficient
member of our city police force, accidentally
shot himself through the calf of the leg.
Some distance away a brother member OF the
force was taking a notorious person, named
Richard Roe, to the Hotel de Bastille, and
Roe began cutting up and trying t" amuse
himself at the officers expense. While the
circus was going on the eysr-vigilant GormaD
heard the noise, aud, thinking a large sized
row in progress, started to run towards the
scene of action. His 3S-calibre revolver was
in his hip pocket, and by some u~naccountaeie
mesas, was discharged as he ran, the ball
burning the skin Town his leg and penetrat-
ing the tl,shy part of the cali, inficsing a
painful but not dangerous flesh wound. The
other members of the force and Mr.. Gormau's
many friends hope to see him again ION
Duty at an early day, in which hope we cor
daily Join.

A SONG.

Words written by W. f. Wilson, late Ct

Takem me to your heart again,
And say that you love none but me;

Twill bring back dreams of love to me. J
Oh, say the past you never will forget,
That sweet memories ever shall remain;
Tell me darling, tell me thai you love me
yet,
Only take me to your heart again.

Why fill my poor heart with pain?
Surely you and l can never, never part,

Ihave learned to love thee more,
And sigh for thee, lay after day;
long to meet thee, as of yore,
Those loving words l long to hea you say:

Your loving soul l never more shall pain
But forgive my cruel, variable heart,
Then IL take you to my heart again."

case of the Territory VS.. p. Dooley, indicted
for assault with intent to. kill Jules Ehrick,
at New Chicago, is on trial, a jury having
been secured and the prosecution being en-
gagged in the examination of witnesses. Dis
trict Attorney Mayhem appears for the Terri
tory and Thomas l.. Napton, Esq, for the de-
~fense."
Is it not rather remarkable that Dooley
should be indicted for assault with intent to
kill, and tired for that comparatively minor
Offer Sc, when the wounded man may die At
any tine, and thus a foundation be laid for
the weightier charge of murder?
Again the analogy between Ehrlck's case
and that of the late President is carried cut.
Ehrick is now in a different county from the
one in which his a~ssailant is to be tried.

GOD SPEED
Lee w. Fosters Employees Bid Him
Good Bye and God Bless You.

About half past eight o'clock last night
there were signs of some secret disturbance
in the capacious stors-rooms of lee w. Fos
ter Il Co. The various employees Of Mr.. Fos-
tel quit work, locked the front door, swept
out the store and gathered in q dark and mu-
IT, Gus throng around the stove. The first
seditious act was 10 turn the clock back just
thirty minutes, thereby inducing their un,us-
pecting employer to think it time TO quit busi-
ness. A messenger was sent into the office to
take Mr.. Foster out for ten minutes particu-
lar business, and another Ole dispatched to
bring him back in ten minutes on busine IS
still more pressing. As soon as the door
closed behind him it was double locked, and
all assembled around the stove, aided ana
abetted by Mr.. Rob Leggatt, and
examined very closely a mystsri-
Gus box, in which could be seen
the CLEAN Of gold and precious stones
shroudec in a veil Of feecy cotton. Mr.. l.
r. Maillet cleared his throat in a suspicious
manner, and just at that m the door
opened, and in walked the unsuspscting VIC
tim, locking for that man who sent for him
on pressing business. As he stepped behind
the counter the conspirators advanced, and
Mr.. Maillet said "Mr. Foster, on the eve of
this testimonial of our affection and respect.
We ask you not to consider its intrinsic value,
but to regard it as a slight token of our es-
teen, and a reminder of our best wishes to
you and your family for a safe and pleasant
journey, and our hope that you may return to
cur midst as hearty as the buck with which
Row present YOU" Mr.. Maillet then handed
the astonished recipient a pair of chased gold
slae~o buttons, set with beautiful carnellans
bearing the device of a stag rampant. Mr.:
Foster was 50 taken aback that he could not
even clear his threat, but recoverin!
himself quickly, said that he could
not make a speech, but would prize
this handsome testimonial all the more OF
account of the source from which it came,
and that he would carry with hin the pleas
: ATTEST recollections of TIE occasion and the
warmest esteem for the donors. just at this
> moment a suspicious pop was heard ant
Mumm's Extra Dry began to flow, all joining
, in a hearty toast to q safe journey and speedy
y return. The names of the gentlemen wh'
united in thus testitying their esteem and re
spect for MIR. Lee W. Foster are as follows

just So Here.

We call attention to the following ex-
tract from the Black Hills Times, of the
9Th inst, and approve heartily the SEN
timents expressed in it:
The Nevada Transcript complains that
mining companies in its vicinity refuse
to furnish it with the figures of bullion
they ship. How can mining compa-
MES expect to attract attention to their
districts when they withhold such in
formation from their local papers? 1t is
a short-sighted policy that is sure to re-
act on the mining companies some day.
Sun Francisco Stock Report.
We are continually asked by our east
ern exchanges what our bullion product
is and are unable to give the desired in
formation for precisely the same reason
as is given above. 1t is impossible to
obtain information respecting mines
from the companies. So far from these
enterprises desiring to attract attention
in this locality, the revtrse seems to be
their desire, as they appear to use extra
caution that newspapers may not record
their developments. If hiding theil
lights is a benefit to their business they
certainly should be OIL the topmost wave
of prosperity. We are certainly of thu
belief that such policy is near-sightec
and an injury to the usefulness of hom'
journals wEo have to go abroad to dis
cover what transpires in mining mat
rtes in our very midst.

Young Ehrick Still Holding His Own.

Young Ehrick Still Holding His Own.
We we're informed 10y his physicians last
evening that young .Ehrlck, who received
what was thought to he a mortal wound al
New Chicago SEINE months ago, IS holding
his own in the grim struggle tor life, a!u
shows almost as much vitality now as at any
form er period OF his illness. Indeed ceh-
sidering all tho circumstances the Wounded
man NAV be said 10 be looking remarkably
well.
The analogy between Ehrick's case ard
that of the late President Garfield continues
to be S riking!y illustrated. The latest de-
yelopmsnt in the wounded mans Cendltloh
i. the appearance OF the parotld s"e'llhSs
| under each Jaw. which it will be remember
cd nr.t gave the Presidents physicians ssrl-
Gus alarm.
Ehrick is Of course considerably emaciated,
which is only to be expected in view OF the
almost total paralysis Of his lsver limbs ahc
be vsls ever since he received his wound.
The liver and bowes have all the WINE
acted, if action it can be called mechanically.
The more alarming symptoms'of blood-pois-
onipg seem to have passed away, though 1t
can not now be said any more than a month
ago, that there is a prospect OF the wounded
mans ultimate recovery.
This being the case, the following extra

He Does Not Take Her to His Heart
Again--The Reason Why.

REPLY TO TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART
GAIN.
You bid Inc press you once again,
Close to my throbbing heart,
And whisper low that n vermore
Our paths must lie apart.
And since you mourn m absence long,
With many a tear and sigh,
I'll see you understand the case,
Or know the reason why.
l caunot claim you for my own
Until my claim is paying;
No rich relation will insist
On all expense defraying.
And should you link your fate with mine,
Toe late, when all was over,
You'd MAKE it lively, if perhaps
We failed TO live in clover.
And should you mourn my broken vows,
And prove a sad repiner,
Reflect, before the shaft strikes home
That | am but a miner.
Good bye! Alden! Ta-ta-'tis best,
Twill surely be more pleasant
To have someone that's struck it rich
Provide your Christmas present.
The memories sweet will e'er remain;
But till l have the shekels
No other mai shall capture me
With auburn bangs and freckles.

FACTS !
The Butte Depot of the U. & N. r. r.

Most people in Butte have q vague idea
that the Utah and Northern depot is some
where south Of the city, but few know exact
ly how far away, or where located. We took
the trouble yesterday 20 investigate the sub
ject, and can inform the public that the
freight and passenger depots are located just
about one mile from the business centre Of
Butte. If Main street were prolonged to tie
south half = mile the depot grounds would lie
about oue-ti ird of a mile east Of its lower
end.
Twenty car loads Of material for tie two
ten, and from Mr.. j. .. Mozart, the gentle
manly foreman of the building department
for the road, we learn that the regular pas
senger trains may be expected to run into the
Butte depot on or about next December 21st.
The terminal buildings now in process of
erection by the U. & N. will be extensive and
convenient. Tit freight depot will be finished
in a weeks time, and will be 80 feet wide by
200 feet long, containing also the f%reighting
office. A platform fourteen feet wide will run
along this depot next to the track, on its
south side, and will be continued all around
the building, being eight feet wide on the
northern or upper side. 1t is understood
of course, that both depots lie
to the north of the track. The
same platform will ba extended east of
the building a distance of sixty feet, with a
width of forty-eight feet, thus furnishing am
pie accommodations for the enormous freight
shipments which will be made freih and to
this csty during the coming year. Twelve
additional carpenters will be set to work TO-
day, to hurry the completion of the build
ing.
The passenger depot is to be situated six
hundred feet west Of the freight depot, and
will DO 24x4S feet, with a platform 200 feet
long. The ticket office, baggage-room and
waiting room will ali be under the same roof
with the passenger de OF. This handsome
building will be completed and finished in
side and ont in about two weeks time. All
the frame work and material are on the
ground.
The city and its citizens should certainly
take appropriate measures for celebrating this
consummatisn so long and 50 ~dsvoutly wished
for. The business houses will no doubt be
Illuminated, and a general celebration be in
order.

The new found source of tho
Mississippi is sparkling little gem
of u lake, situated above and be.
yond Lake Itaska. 1t nestles among
the pines of an untrequented and
wild region Of Minnesota, many
miles from the nearest white set
tlement, aud just on the dividing
ridge which forms the great water.
shed of North America. Within q
few miles of it can be found lakes
and streams whose waters are trib-
utary to the Red river of the North
and the Yellowstone, thus reaching
the sea thousands of miles from
the mouth OF the mighty Misssslp-
ri, which flows in atrickling brook
from Lake Glazier. This lake, dis
covered to be the source of the
greatest river in the world by Capt.
Willard Glszier, on July %, 1881,
| is about a mile aud q half in great
| est diameter, and would bo nearly
round in shape but for q single
promontory, whose rocky shores
| give it iu outline the shape of a
heart. The waters of the lake are
exceedingly clear and pure, coming
from springs, some being at the
bottom, but the three most promi-
nent rise q few miles back in low,
wet land, and flow into the lake i0
little rills. On the very point ol
the promontory is spring whose
waters are as cod as ice, and al
which Capt. Glaciers weary party
Stacked their thirst while exploring
the shores of the new lake. 81
lonely is the region around tn'
lake that for ID days not even
red.skin was seen, and, wearied By
the hardships of this rough coun
try, yet with q feeling of having
added something to geographica
knowledge, Capt. Glazier and hi

ROWING AGAINST THE TIDE.

It is cay to glide with the ripples
Adown the stream Of time,
To Aow with the course Of the Tivor,
Like music to some old rhyme;
But shl IT takes courage and patience
Against its current to ride:
And we must have strength from heaven
When rowing against the tide.
We may float on the rivers surface
While our oars scarce touch the stream
Aud visions Of early glory
On our dazzling sight may CLEAN,
We forget that on before us
Tho dashiug torrents roar,
And, while we are idly dreaming,
It's waters will carry Us DER.
But few-ah, would there were nanyl
Row up the stream Of life
They struggle againt It's surges,
And mind neither toll nor strife,
Though weary and flint with labor,
Singing, triumphant, thoy ride;
For Christ is the hero's Captain
When rowing against the tide.
Far on through the hazy distance,
Like mist on distant shore,
They see the walls of a city;
With its banner floating DER.
Seen through glass so darkly
They almost mistake their way;
But faith throws light on their harbor,
When darkness shuts out their day,
And shall we be Que Of that number
Whomiud no toll nor painf
Shall we mourn the loss Of earthly Joys
When we have crown TO gaini
Or shall we glide on with the river,
With death ut the end Of our rido,
while our brother, with heaven before him
Is rowing against the tidef
