ALONE ON THE PRAIRIE.
Two Sick Men Left by a Man
from a Survey Outfit. Three
Days Helpless and
Alone,

On Scotch Bills last trip down, he
took from near the Coal Banks two
men who were in a very bad plight,
and carried them On as far as his
route extended. The story is as fol-
lows: The men, who had been very
i'll for some time past were brought
in by a man from the survey party OF
James Warren, and were deposited
in an almost helpless condition at
the foot of the hill at the mouth
of the coulee near the Coal
Banks, to await the arrival Of the
coach. A tent was pitched for them
and some hard tack and bacon left as
their only articles of food. After
providing for them in this sump-
tuous manner the man left them and
went away. One of them could not
walk at all and the other was little
better, and they could not therefore
even go to the liver for water. They
got there on Monday, and stayed un-
til Thursday morning. Some of the
men at the coal banks CHANGED to see
them and reported to MI. Stafford,
the foreman at the mines, who took
them to his house, where Mrs. Stat
ford prepared food for them, which
they were, however, too ill to eat.
They were taken to the tent, and
cared for by Mr.. Stafford and the
miners, to whose kindness they PROB.
ably owe their lives. This Is the Sec
ond case of turning loose on the
prairie which we have been obliged
to record, and the men who do this
kind of thing should be made a Sc
we're example of.-MdcLeod Gazette.

In Memoriam.

On the night of October 9th. Mr..
Charles Mcguire, = worthy and re
spected resident of our city, died at
his residence on East Park street.
The deceased was we'll known
amongst us as q sober, Shrewd bust.
ness man, honorable and ever ready
to perform the duties of q Christian
friend and neighbour. He had beer
engaged in business in Butte during
the past two years, prior to which,
TOR eight years, he had been engaged
as a traveller and trader in Titan, Ida
no, Nevada and Montana, and over
that vast area of country how many
there are who will learn with regret
Of his early death. He was a native of
Ireland and one Of those brave spir-
its who faced the difficulties of noun
tain life years ago, taking his chances
amongst that band who saw toward
the setting sun a land wherein for
tune offered, to the fearless and de-
termined, a bright reward. He mar
ried in Montana making Butte his
home. During his residence here our
citizens became acquainted with him
only to find him a good and upright
man. His prospects Frightened and
it seemed that many and happy years
were before him in our land, but
amid favorable scenes at the early age
Of thirty-nine years he was
cut down, and. to-day, as brave
and noble q heart as ever
beat in human breast lies stiIled for
ever. Three weeks ago, while alb
sent in Idaho, he was seized with
typhoid fever, becoming Frustrated.
He returned home, but all that care
and medical aid could do for him was
of no avail. He died peacefully, con-
sOled in his last moments by the
Knights of the Catholic Faith. The
remains will I've borne to Boulder
Valley this morning for burial. Two
brothers of the deceased arrived
in the city yesterday from Ogden to
pay the last sad duties due to their
departed relative. Peace be to his
ashes, and, as his grave grows green
with time and his memory fades
from among men, may his noble
spirit enjoy among the realms of the
blest, the rewards promised by Him
who said of virtues, 1.-The greatest
among these is charity" The MINER
extends its sympathy to the bereaved
wife, relatives and friends.

A Card.
HELENA, Oct. q, 1888.

HELENA, Oct. 2, 1888.
Editor Butte Miner:
SIR:-You have been mlsled by
your correspondent. I am not and
have not been an applicant for the
Helena postofflce, as inquiry at the
Department will prove. Moreover,
I have not circulated the report my
self as you state. Some two weeks
ago Governor Crosby recommended at
the suggestion of many prominent
citizens the name of D. H. Cuthbert
"a fact that I was we'll aware of at
the time. The report probably had
its foundation on account of my hav-
ing been eight years in the Postoffice
Department, and because the Assis-
tant Postmaster General has been my
guest in Helena during the past sum-
mer.
I trust you will do me the justice
of making this correction.
H. B. WILKINS, Jr.
We take pleasure in giving place
to Mr.. Wilkins card. The MINER
does not desire nor would it know
ingly do the gentleman an injustice.
Our information in regard to this
Helena postofice matter was wired
to us from Helena. 1t seems, how
ever, our informant was mistaken.
MI. Wilkins is recognized by all
who know him Us a gentleman whose
veraci'y cannot be successfully ques-
toned, hence his explanation may
be accepted as the true one.

SINGULAR,
A Prospector and His Bible.

The newest story from the mines
in New Mexico is from Soco!ro,
where they tell Of q miner whose
bible fell over a precipice while he
was doing. He descended into the
canyon to recover the book, ana
found it open on a piece ofrich quartz
that had been dislodged by the fall.
His eye fell Oh the seventh chapter
of st. Matthew. The miner read,
ask and it shall be given unto you;
seek and you shall find" He
searched and speedily found a lode
over two feet in width that assays-so
the story goes-$23 a ton. The story
teller adds that that part Of the coun-
try has since been overrun by pros
pectOrs with bibles in their hands.

Night before last, q gentleman
came into the MINER office and ex-
pressed his desire to have an ad. in
serted. With unusual celebrity we
grasped our plumbago and proceeded
to note. When the gentleman in
formed US that he was the possessor
of the largest stocks, of numerous
kinds of goods in the world, we were
awed bp his presence. When he
stated that he had no desire tor
money, being generally the owner of
untold wealth, we offered him a
chair. When he remarked that he
could draw on any bank in the
world for any amount, but that owing
to their all being closed and his being
temporarily without change. he
would like to borrow four bits. we
dropped ON him. After several flu
tile attempts to bring us back to Il
former state Of admiration, he left
the sanctum. His name is J. B.
Lingstroff and he is now in the
county Jail to await transportation to
the place from whence he lately
eame-the Warm Springs asylum.

T MANY YEARS.
A Colorado Woman, After Six
Years Absence, Returns
to Her Husband.

A story that would form a basis for
one of Wilkie Collins plots came to
light yesterday, the denouement be-
ing of a highly satisfactory character
to both parties concerned. Six years
ago a young machinest named Hiram
Wilson, working IN Pittsburg, was
married, his wife being a poor girl
who had been his school mate and
associate for years. The pair COM
menced life under h~attering circum-
stances, the husband being a skillful,
industrious mechanic, and the wife a
careful, frugal housewife. Wilson
had saved several hundred dollars,
with which he purchased a neat lit
tie home in the outskirts of the smoky
city. and settled down to- life OF do
nestle happiness. They had been
married about a year when the dis
covery of Leadville's riches made a
demand for machinists in this State,
aud having received a f1attering offer
young Wilson came out here. His
wife was about to be confined, and
so, selling his property, he established
her in comfortable lodgings, and de-
posted all of his money to her credit,
except Just enough to bring him to
Colorado, left for the west. She was
to follow him as soon as she was able
to travel. Some two months or so
afterward, Wilson, who was then at
work In Louisville, received a note
announcing the birth of a SON. Three
weeks later, while busily engaged in
preparing a place for his family, he
was horritied to receive letter which
stated that his wife in a fit of deliri-
UNI had disappeared, taking advant-
age of the temporary absence of the
nurse, and had not been heard from.
He at once returned to Pittsburg, and
for six months prosecuted an unavail.
ing search. The money left i'll the
bank had not been touched, the wife
having enough on hand for ordinary
expenses, and after expanding nearly
all in the search, gave up and re-
turned to Colorado heartsick and dis
courag.d. Yesterday noon, upon go
ing to his boarding house for dinner,
Mr.. Wilson was told that a lady
wished to see him, and on entering
the parlor was confronted by the we'll
known and well-beloved feature of
his wife. Her story was brief. She
remmebered nothing Of her fight, bat
on coming to her senses, which vas
last spring, she found herself in
an insane asylum in Ohio, and was
told that she was found raving in
the streets OF Cincinnati. The first
indication Of returning reason was
the sudden recollection of her name.
She remained in the asylum a few
weeks until her cure was certain,
when she vas discharged, Finding
work at her old trade of dressmak-
ing, she wrote to her husband at
Leadville, but his wherabouuts were
unknown, and her letters were re-
turned. Accommodating a little mon
ey she went to Pittsburg, ard there
learned that her baby was dead-it
survived her fight only a few days.
and was told her husbands address
in Denver. and that he still mourned
her loss. Kind friends furaishrd her
money, and without writing came at
once to this city, arriving here yes
terday morning, with the happy re-
suit already noted Denver Times.
