We are in receipt of letter from Heusted,
Texas, giving the particulars of an incident OBJ
served by the writer, the refusal of the con-
ductOr and brakeman of a train TO admit
mulatto woman into the passenger coach be-
cause of her color. demanding that she take
passage in the smoking car. The writer says:
" Miss, said the brakeman, there is no civil
rights in Texas, and the conductor says not to
let You in Aud he did nor, but held her with
one hand while he opened the door of the car
with the other. After the passengers, about
fifteen in number, were admitted into the coach,
the door was locked and Kept locked until we
reached Chapel Hill, fifteen miles And surely
the girl ELECTED the admiration of every North
ern-ninded man on the train, as she positively re-
fused to enter the smoking-car, which was
crowded with roughs of nearly every nation
atty on earth, but stood on the platform holding
on to the brake-wheel Tor fifteen miles. Her name
Is worthy to go into print as Texas heroine. 1t
Is Miss Millie Rodgers, Chapel Hill, Texas"
The writeI adds that If any of the young
colored men of Indianapolis feel like voting
against that girl, they had better write to her
and get her statement.

mutually adjustable, self-acting machine may
not exactly meet the demands, but as domestic
affairs seem to be drifting in that direction the
idea is thrown out for the public benefit.
THE late DR.. Eiphalet Clark of Deering, Me-,
left $4,000 to Methodist seminary, with the
provision that If any member of the faculty or
any teacher shall tobacco, the interest of the
fund for that year shall not be used, but be added
to the fund itself. Nothing is said about the use
OF the soul-destroying weed among the pupils,
but such is the depravity and general contrari-
ness of human nature that all the boys may be
expected to become smokers ard chewers, and
the cigarette will probably take the place of
chewing gum with the girls.

The Anaconda Smel yer.

Conjecture il still rife as to the lc-
cation of the Anaconda smelter. For
the benefit of the public, who are
only less interested in the matter
than Messrs. Haggin & Tevis, a MI
NER reporter yesterday made an
effort to obtain some reliable infor-
NATION upon the subject, with the
following result, promising, however,
that the information obtained was in
no case received from any official
source:
The Bighole site, upon which the
company held a bond, has probably
been abandoned, as the bond has ex-
pired. The Warm Springs plant is
owned by the company and it is not
definitely known whether or not the
smelter will be located there. Dur
ing the past week surveyors were en-
gagged in surveying a site about eight
miles from the city, on the bench
which lies between Blacktail creek
and the mountains, a short distance
north Of the %Suprenant arastra. This
seems to be an eligible site and would
be conveniently accessible to the
lime stone quarries, iron deposits and
wood supply of Pipestone canyon
but difficulty is encountered in the
matter of securing a sufficient supply
of water, which may prevent its final
selection as the location of the
big Anaconda smelter.

A wOMAN's SHOT.
Aew Mrs. Judge Stephens of
Missoula Killed the Burglar.

The last Missoulian contains the
following particulars of the killing of
q burglar by the wife of Hon. w. J.
Stephens, in Missoula, = brief report
of which was given in the MINERS
special dispatch. last Friday morn
ing:
Thursday morning of this week,
our town was startled by the report
of q tragedy which occurred just
below town ut the residence of Hon.
w. J. Stephens, just outside our
city limits. 1t happened on We'd
nesday night of this week that Mr..
Stephens did not come home-being
detained till q very late hour at his
Office. Mrs. Stephens sat up to a
late hour, reading, and was alarmed
by a man trying to enter the front
door. The door was locked and he
did not succeed. Mrs. Stephens
went into the hall and call out,
"Who's there? What do you want?"
He made no reply, and Mrs. Ste
phens, thinking it q tramp, ordered
him of, saying, IF you know what's
good for you, you'll 60 away from
here" All the answer she received
vas q contemptuous els that
sO?" and a renewed attempt
10 break in at the back
door. He walked around the house
and tried the windows and doors,
looking in and frightening the chill
dren. There was q weak spot in the
house, and Mrs. Stephens, thinking
he would find it, determined to show
HIM that she was armed-and as he
came around on the east side of the
house, discharged her needle gun
through the window, and immedi-
ately snatched up a pistol and also
discharged that through the window.
The man uttered an exclamation of
surprise and ran rapidly away. This
was about IL o'clock. Mrs. s., think
Ang she had frightened the tramp
away, retired to bed, and knew moth
ing more of the matter bntil morn
ing, when she was informed by the
hired man that there was , man ly-
ing in the yard out by the back gate.
She asked if he was drunk;
he said, "no, he's dead" She
was surprised, and then said: "Why,
I fired through the window at a man
last night who was trying to break
into the house, l suppose he's the
man." The dead man turns out to
be one who was in town Wednesday,.
He came from Pinelahd, and is
known as Johnnie Baker. He
brought in tive saddle horses We'd
nesday, and left them at the feed
stable of G. F. Hawks & Go. He is
said to be a hardened sinner and was
ordered cut of Deer Lodge not a great
while ago. He was shot in the right
breast, the ball ranging to the left,
and probably penetrating the left lung
or the upper portion of the heart. He
was lying on his back, probably fifty
yards from the place at which he re-
ceived his wound, and had been dead
some time when first discovered. A
coroner's jury rendered a verdict of
justifable homicide. The verdict is
received with great satisfaction by
everybody, and it is the general
opinion that it would be we'll for the
community if a few more of the hard
characters in this vicinity were treat
ed in like manner.

Oregon Short Line.

The HALEY Times has interviewed
a prominent railroad official regard
ing the suspension of bufiding opera
tons on the Oregon Short Line west
of Shoshone, from whose statement
it appears that the suspension IS
merely temporary. The gentleman
says:
"The suspension of operations is
only partial, and does not apply to
any of the heavy work, which is 60
On as briskly as ever; nor does it ap-
ply to that portion of the road be-
tween Shoshone and the Winnemuc-
ca road--a distance of150 miles--where
work has been partly suspended in
places. The section where the sus-
pension is most general is from the
Wjnnemucca road west to Weiser
City-some Is or so miles-and even
in that section the heavy work is 60
ing right ahead the same as ever
The real cause of suspension, I be-
lieve, is that Mr.. Blickensderfier, the
Chief Engineer of the road, thinks
that he can effect a saving to the
company by making a few changes
in the line of the road. AS the work
of construction progressed, someha!f-
dozen or nor lengthy and de-
tailed reports of surveys have
been made to the chief engi-
neer, and he has ordered a par
tial suspension of operations until he
can come out and examine the line
for himself. His trip or any changes
he may make cannot result in any
great loss to the company, as only
about $751; 900 have been expended so
far in constructing the road from the
Winnemucca road to Weiser City.
The contractors will be the losers by
this enforced idleress. as they are
compelled to feed their idle teams
and keep their forces together, be-
sides being unable 10 use the materi-
ais, tools, ETC."

impressed with the country as far as
they have seen it. The gentlemen are
surprised at the forwardness of the

for theff spring seeding. As they

After q Fitful Career Nick Pesold
Falls a Victim Of Apoplexy.

At half past six o'clock yesterday
morning Nick Pesold was suddenly
seized. in the "Day Break" saloon
on Park street, with an apoplectic
fit. He was kindly cared for by sew
eral friends who were present, and
after a severe rubbing, circulation
was induced and the sufferer
regained consciousness, but vas
very weak. He asked his
friends to assist him to the rear and
two of them. supported him down a
flight of steps to the back yard, but
he had no sooner reached the ground
than it became evident that the hand
of death was upon him. His features
became fixed and livid, and his
limbs refused to support him. He
was carried back into the saloon,
where he expired a few moments Ia
ter. The deceased was forty-three
years of age and has seen May
of the visissitu6es of Western
life. A few years ago he was a pros
porous citizen of Leadville, Colorado,
engaged in the saloon and restaurant
business. He leaye, there three
children who are well settled in life
and will be shocked to hear of his
unt2nely taking of. Later he was a
successful brewer in the Black Hills,
at Deadwood, and it was here that
fate seemed to lay its finger upon the
hitherto successful man of business
and start him upon the downward
course in which the final scene was
enacted yesterday morning. Pesold
was a man of tender impulses, and
devoted to his family. His wife was
in the truest sense of the word the
partner of his joys and sorrows. At
Deadwood she fell a victim to that
dread disease peculiar to mountain
districts, pneumonia, and h%enceforth
life seemed a blank to the bereaved
husband. He became a prey to mel
ancholly and unfortunately sought
solace in the flowing bowl. His
means rapidly melted away, and a
few months since he came to this
camp in the hope of being able to
correct his habits and better his for
tunes. His first venture here was a
barber shop, which he established in
Walkerville. He succeeded but
poorly there, and subsequently
worked as barber or barkeeper for
several Butte establishments. Re-
Gently he went to Dillon and opened
a barber shop there, but apparently
met with failure, aud returned to
this city a few days since. He has
been subject to apoplectic attacks for
many years, and frequently remarked
that he could not tell how soon the
messenger would come. Whatever
may be said Of his habits Of life, no
one car say that he was not honest
in his dealings and kind and genial
in his disposition. His epitaph will
be, HE wronged no man."
