On Big Spring creek, in Meagher county, q
lew days ago, Rationale Jake and his partner
thieves, attempted to run small place called
Lewiston, and meeting with some opposition
they declared they would clean out the town,
and commenced shooting at everybody in sight.
There were only three guns in the town and
they were placed in the hands of men of un-
good effect that both of the supposed horse
thieves were run down in short time, OFal-
lon being shot first, through and through with
aWinchester rifle, and Rattlesnake served in
like manner short time afterward Both
men showed great pluck. OFallon, after be-

At that moment he fell from his horse, then
raised himself upon his knees, took deliberate

the head, killing him instantly.
The citizens saw that there would be more
men killed If the thing was not ended quickly

he raised himself on his side and continued
shooting until he had not strength enough to

shooting Is long as there was life in him.
Rattlesnake Jake, after he was shot through
the body, kept shooting; then his right arm
was broken by . ball and he changed to his

Decline Of Wheat in ENGLAND,

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman,
living it England, notes the gradual decline il,
the value of the wheat crop and the necessity
for . change He says: sOur crops Of wheat
for the past nine years have been deficient, for
the acreage produce has been only 24k
bushels. The main cause of this low average
was tho disasterous season of 1873, when the
crop was estimated at but Is bushels per acre.
The most productive wheat crop of the present
generation was in the hot and dry summer of
1858. The difference between the last harvest
and that Of 1868 is very striking indeed, and
it shows in bold relief the changed position of
the farmer IT The price of wheat of the former
bushels At that priceis e1s 12s per acre. Last
per acre and the price So shillings. The farm
or would therefore pocket IS lis per acre.
raSs it is ba plain that wheat fsr en- tn BE-
fish farmer asserts that he cannot grow
wheat At less than about 50 per acre The de-
crease Of wheat cultivation in ten years amounts
to upward Of !, COG. 900 acres, and about double
the quantity Of what is now grown at home has
to grass and the alteration of the times obvi-
ously points in that direction One result of
the times appears that great reduction of rents
is imminent. Many of the large owners are
granting reductions of rent which rabge from
10 to 40 per cent but a reduction of less than
Nv P0A con~ 10 VI AI.'lo avail, ahu very laUoly
number of farmers have sunk under their bur
dens The agricultural situation would have
been much worse but for the good prices OBJ
tanned for cattle and Sheep
On the point regarding the shipment Of store
cattle from the United States he says: s'The
idea of bringing store cattle from the western
states of America is entertained by some British
farmers, especially those in Scotland, but it
looks somewhat Utopian. 1t is granted that
stores are too high; then why should not the
British farmer rear and get the high price for
himself. A one year-old and under pays as
much, counting the value of food consumed,
- two year-old or three year-old."

4 Brother Unknowingly Assaults HIS
Sister,

a Brother Un1now1ngly Assaults HIS
Sister,
Ayoung lady, the daughter of highly respec-
ted merchant Of Hackensack, N. j., had occasion
to visit some friends about three quartersof
mile distant from her own home. At about 8
o'clock she started on her way home When
about midway between her friends house
and her ewn, the young woman was suddenly
seized from behind, and while one of her as
sailants (for there were two) pinioned her
arms, the other placed his hand over her
mouth to prevent an outcry. Thus handi-
capped the girl was unable to defend herself and
was dragged into the bushes She had scarce
ly been thrown to the ground, when the moon
broke through the clouds and terrible dis
covery was made. ooh, brother, spare mel"
the girl cried, and then tainted my God"
is my sister," Then he sank down beside her
on the grass and cried like child It was
some time before the young lady returned to
consciousness, and when she did neighbor
stood beside her, and when she was able to
stand, accompanied her to her home. The
young woman, upon arriving home recounted
the particulars of the terrible ordeal through
which she had passed to her parents, but care
fully, in order to shield her brother, concealed
the facts of the horrible discovery she had made
Both of the young men have heretofore been
highly respected, and it it is thought they were
under the influence of liquor 1T the time.

The Pa ture King OF England.

An inspired article has appeared in uoyds
Weekly, the chief organ Of the working classes,
on the politics of the prince of Wales. The
writer says the prince of Wales has no belief
in the policy of placement of the empire, and
will not shrink, when necessary, from asser-
ton or extension of imperial responsibilities,
though opposed to aggression He is, there
fore, drawn to the radicals, who have brok-
en- from the traditions of the Manchester
peace party. Tho article further recites the
heir apparent to the throne of England is 4 free
trader on principle, and regrets the existence
of protection policy in other countries on the
ground that . hostile tariff begets other forms
of international hostility. He considers that many
of the ideas and plans now identified with So
cialism are thoroughly practical, Christian and
constitutional Respecting forms of govern
ment, he accepts the pope's dictum that what
is best administered is the best constitutional
monarchy, and is the most economical form of
government because it keeps . check upon in
dividual ambition, extravaganza and jobbery.
The republican idea, in the abstract, is very
in practice, delusive and costly

In this number $50 municipal officers are in
