An effort has been made to induce n lion and

without the lamb being inside of the lion. The
lion in this Instance is the County Democracy,

But it is evident that this laudable purpose is
not to be contaminated this year. John +.
Develn, acting for the County Democracy, has
written letter to Irving Halls representative,
stating that the amiable Overtures OF the latter
organization were made too late, so far as the

The Fate of Spokane jim.

While party of us were refreshing our
selves in an inn at Thompson Falls, shot
and yell outside caused every one to drop
what he was about and rush to the door to
see what the disturbance could be An
other, and another, and another shot
cracked out, five in all and then there
came the cry, An Indian on toast -
ran to the place and beheld a swarthy red
man lying ON his back, the blood dripping
from both his sides. His right hand spas
medically clutched a large butcher-knfe,
and his murderer stood over him with the
smoking revolver with which he had done
the deed still in his hand, every chamber
of which was empty There he stood,
haranguing the crowd, justifying his action
in strong, excited language which seemed
to meet their appreciation, for every once in
a while could be heard such words as
Served him right Well done, pard. g"
" Another good Indian" and the like. The
victim bore the name of Spokane jim, and
the slayer was known as Hiram Parry, son
of Bishop Joseph Parry, Ogden, Utah.
In appeared that the Indian and Parry
had been engaged in game of stud-pOker
with some others, in which Parry came off
with large gains Spokane jim was the
most expert gambler of his tribe, and could
not brook defeat, so he drew large butcher
knife and made desperate lunge at Parry,
who received him coolly at the nuzzle of
a revolver, with the result as stated. Parry
gave himself up without resistance
A frontier jury was hastily impaneled,
who Immediately sat on the case, returning
in five minutes verdict of self-defense,n
and Hiram Parry was free man forever,
having once been put in jeopardy of his
life and acquitted. The jury then adjourned
from the case sine die and into Il neighbor-
ing saloon, where few minutes afterward

a Juror Who Would Take no Risks.

General Thomas Harrison, who was COM
mander of Texas regiment during the
war, and known by the boys as " jim Town
Major" was soon after the war elected
Judge of one of the districts of Texas.
Shortly after his election he visited one of
the counties i'll his district for the purpose
of holding Court, and ON his arrival in
town impanelcd jury consisting of eleven
white men and one negro. About the first
case called was one against party for mur-
der After hearing the evidence, argu-
mentS of counsel and charge of the Court,
the jury started down stairs to consider
their verdict, the colored juror happening
to be in the rear. Following them was the
attorney for the defendant At the head of
the stairs land in hearing of the colored
juror the attorney was asked by friend
how he thought the case would be decided
The reply was: " | think the defendant
will be acquitted or the jury will be hung"
The jury went down the steps and out in
the yard and, upon looking around, the
colored member was missing Upon in
yeStigating they saw him making 2:40 time
in the direction of the brush. The Sheriff
was called, and, after vigorous pursuit,
Mr. Juror was captured and brought before
the Court and asked why he had run away.
His reply was : " He had heard a gentle
man say if the man wasn't cleared the Jury
would be hung and as he hadn't done
nothing he didn't want to take any
chances. u Venago (N. Y ) Spectator.

An Alameda County Romance.

A story from Haywards Alameda coun-
ty, where romances flourish like the bay,
recites that Peter Mussen is a chicken ped
dler, and that he loved the widow Wrider,
who lives on the mountain road, not far
from Haywards. She is a buxOm dame OF
twenty-siX years, and the peddler cOurted
her bravely, but she would and she would
not, until the amorous chicken merchant
nearly went out of his mind, such as ii is
He did the next best thing and sought the
lair of a San Francisco clairvoyant. As
may be readily believed, the prophecies was
ready enough with a solution of the diff
Guilty Her declaration was that Mrs. Wri-
der was desperately in love with man
with side-whiSkers. Mussen's cheeks are
as bare as pumpkin, SO he borrowed a
side-whiskered mask and a shotgun, and
skulked down by the widows house one
Sunday evening recently. He listened out
side the door, and when he heard Mrs
Wrider tell her children to 90 TO bed he
smashed in three windows and broke open
the door. Then he fired charge of buck
shot through the ceiling and departed,
leaving his mask behind him. His inten-
uon was to personate the supposed side
whiskered object of the widows affections
i'll order to disgust her with her hypotheti-
cal hairy-taced lover He was arrested and
tried before Justice Austin, at Haywards.
and on his trial he swore that Mrs. Wrider
had given him a powder in his tea some
time before he adopted his novel means of
cutting out his hated rival He was sent
TO the County Jail for six months. Mrs
Wrider denies that she ever gave him any

A Rich but Uninhabited Country.

To the north of Prescott, Yavapai county,
4 stretch of country extends from 300 TO
400 miles to the Utah line, about which the
general public know comparatively little
Although Prescott is spoken of as being in
northern Arizona, geographically speaking
1t Is almost in the center of the Territory
The entire territory spoken of above cou-
tains population of only from 200 to 400
souls north of the railroad To reach these
settlements a circuitous route has TO be
taken to the northeast TO avoid the i'm
mense and impossible precipices of the
grand canyon of the Colorado river, which
in places rise perpendicuiarly for distance
of from 500 to 5000 feet, making the dis
tance from Prescott about 500 miles. Dep
uty Assessor w. l.. Dikes is now on an an
nual assessing tour through this section
The few settlements that have been made
are mostly by MormOns whose families live
in Utah, the nearest town being Kanab,
about ten miles across the Utah line In
cluded in the above section of the country
is some of the finest grazing and timber
land in the Territory, which as yet does
not contain single settler, the great draw
back being lack of water A portion
lying between the little Colorado river,
Catarac creek and the Colorado river, desig-
mated on the maps of the Territory as the
Coconino forests, is said by parties who
have visited it te resemble great natural
park. A portion of it is heavily timbered,
without single sprig of underground,
while III the center is an immense grassy
plain 60 by 100 miles in extent, which, if
watered, would afford grazing for thou
sands of head of stock. The time will
come when the enterprise and ingenuity of
man will, either by sinking artesian wells
or by diverting the waters of the Colorado
river. make this at present uninhabitablc
country bloom with prosperity and TEEN
with inhabitants. The settlers at present
are confined to Soap Creek, Kanab Wash
and other valleys, whose only interest in
either county or Territorial affairs is to an
nually select one of their number to carry
the taxes of all the settlers to the county

A Patent Conductor.

The Patent Office reports are not geuer-
ally considered specially interesting to the
ordinary reader, but there is great deal of
information in them, and no one who
wishes really To keep up to the times viii
habitually ignore them. One of the latest
issues, for instance, is for a conductor on
electric RAILWAYS What could be more
interesting than patent conductor To that
large portion of the public that travel from
six TO sixty miles in n day going 70 and
from business? This patent conductor will
punch tickets by passing an electric current
through them between the two prougS of q
small instrument made for the purpose.
He Will subdue refractory passengers easily

bribahlc by cigars or otherwise. He will
never sit down beside q gUOd-luoking vuuIg

never indulge in alterations with passen-

front backed by parabolic reflector will
enable him to see clear through u car with

reason with him in order 10 convince him
Of the abSurdity Of the c0mpany'> regUla-

And then consider his advantages to the
company that employs him, He Will re-
quire no wages will need no food except

he cannot be killed and viii never organ

What Killed Henry Clay.

" Do you know what killed Henry Clay ?''
my genial Kentucky story-teler asked me
the other day. If not, ! will tell You.
He died of broken heart not because he
lost the Presidency, but his SON Henry
Clay, Jr., was his fathers idol. He was
sent To West Point where he graduated
second in his class. After four months in
the army he resigned, and began practicing
law in Lexington, living with his father at
Ashland. Not young man in Kentucky
promised better things than he did When
the Mexican war broke out he was deter
mined to 20. His father made no objection,
and he went out rs Lieutenant-COlonel of
the First Kentucky Regiment. AT the bat
tie of Buena Vista Santa Anna with $4,000
troops nearly overwhelmed General Tavlor
with about one-eighth that number. Clay
fought hard, but rs his regiment was falling
back a shot went through both legs He
was not mortally wounded, and three men
picked him up to carry him off the field.
1t soon became evident that the Mexicans
would overtake them. Save yourselves,
boys, he said, and taking the pistol which
his father had given him, he handed it to
one of the men with the words, Take this
and return it to my father. Tell him |
have no further use for it. With that they
dropped him and ran after the retreating
troops The last they saw of Clay he was
lying on his back, fighting squad of Mexi-
cans with his sword. Next morning his
body was found hacked to pieces and mutt
lated by the towards who had killed him.
The pistol came to his father, then a Sena-
tor, and, though he lived several years after,
| am convinced that he died from the
blow. ~ Cincinnati News-JOurnal

dier belonging to an Ohio regiment sought
an interview with his Captain, and an
nounced that he had a plan for a military
campaign which would certainly result in
crushing out the rebellion. The officer
very naturally inquired for particulars, but
the soldier refused TO reveal them. and
asked for a chance to lay his plans before
Pope himself. After some delay he was
given a pass to headquarters. He did not
get to see Pope, but after the chief of staff
had coaXed and promised and threatened
for a quarter of an hour the Buckeye stood
up and replied:
"Well, sir, my plan is for John Pope and
Bob Lee to swap commands, and if we

showed us numerous tawdry relics and the
writings of Buddha preserved ON strips of

of Buddha, and could respect his lofty
teachings, but we could not recognize the
claims of these, his degenerate disciples.

worth about two coppers each to the priests
and one to the bandSmen, and paid off
eight priests and eight bandSmen at that
