The Dillon Tribune says: On the night of
the Goth of March, at Glendale, Thomas
Blakely, in a cowardly manner from behind,
struck Joseph Shepherd in the back of the
head with billet of cordwood. Shepherd
has not recovered from the blow and ne
never will, but being a man of strong con-
stitution he is gradually and surely dying.
Blakely skipped, and although the officers
have been actively hunting him he is still at
large. Sheriff Reinhardt offers reward for
his capture and describes Blakely rs follows:
Age about thirty-eight years, dark complex

Singnlar Phenomenon.

AT about 10 O'Clock On Thursday evening,
many people were out viewing a singular
atmospheric phenomenon Cd erya! lie in t, o
heavens, the same being luminous ribbon
of a dull sulphurous looking cloud spanning
the sky from the northern to the
western horizon and sparkling
with phosphorescent or electric
light at times morse luminous than at others.
The singularity of this cloud, aside from its
luminous appearance, was that at no time
did it appear to be over one yard in width,
and in its gradual disappearance from the
otherwise clear Sky. Soon after 10 O'Clock
the end of the belt at its northern ex-
tremity began to show signs
of great disturbance, when
there took place cyclonic rolling up of the
fleecy scroll in which a thousand unseen de-
mons Of power seemed to be engaged. There
were surgings, and tossings, and pushings
and changings of the cloud against the
sky which gave the appearance of great
serpent in agony, and not until about one
o'clock on Friday morning did all traces of
the strange phenomenon disappear entirely
from the heavens.

A Young Marylander Spirits Away the
Belle of the Band.
Westminster (Md,) special.l
For the past two or three weeks o small
band of gypsies has been encamped at
Cranberry Station, on the Western Mary.
land Road, about mile from this place.
They have proved themselves to be very
quiet and respectable people, and have
done quite q thriving business in horse.
trading and fortune.t telling. Among their
number was young lady Of about twenty
years, named Louisa Werter, who was
held in high esteem in the band because Of
her great beauty and grace and her un.
blemished character and always proper
conduct. Indeed, there is no doubt
that she was and is all her com.
panions thought her. The man in the
case is a rather good.looking young
gentleman Of about the same age as the
girl, whose home is in Baltimore City, but
who spends his summer in Westmins ter.
Ever since the band arrived here he has
been frequent visitor to the camp, drawn
thi her by the fascination OF Miss Wer.
ter's bonnie black eyes and bewitching
smile. On Friday night last there was a
gypsy dance at one of the hotels here, and
members OF the band now remember that
ON this particular occasion the young man
paid the young lady the mosumarked and
exclusive attention, and they say they be-
lieve the pair then made all arrangements
for an elopement aud marriage. Be this
as 1t may, yesterday evening found the
young gentleman at the camp. No atten.
ton was paid TO this, but later at night II
was discovered that Miss Werter had dis
appeared and that all her clothes and
fnery were gone with her. A vain search
was made, and then the conclusion was
reached that she had taken the Mem.
phis express for Baltimore from the
station near by, and that she was act.
ing under an arrangement with the
young man, who, they believed, would
follow her this morning. They, however,
seized upon him, as he was still about the
camp, and detained him until this morn.
ing, in hopes that this course would in.
duce the return Of the girl when she found
her lover could not follow her. But early
this morning they became satisfied that
they had no right to keep him prisoner,
and So released him. They dispatched
her grandfather to Baltimore by morn
ing train to find the girl and return her Ia
their camp, and now are waiting anxiously
for news from him. The girls father is
dead, but the mother is living and married
, again.
I Miss Werter's step.brother, on Icing
! questioned, said the band were convinced
the girls fight was made at the ins.iga'
tion Of her lover, because there was nc
other motive for 1t. The girl had no other
lover and had never been courted so as
siduously before. She received no atten'
! tion from any one but him. She had nc
money Of her own, and must have beer
furnished with some by him. He is well
, and very favorably known here as quiet
modest and well.behaved young man. The
gypsies have no doubt Of his intention tC

Ton Thousand n Year.
THE Toronto NALL

Whom Mr.. Bell Belmont, manager OF
the St. Julien restaurant, in King street,
left his home in London, England, fifteen
years ago, he intended going TO Australia.
En- route he stopped in Toronto a few days,
and thinking he might go further and fare
worse, he resolved to remain here, and
became engaged in the hotel business.
Before leaving London he placed in charge
of his father a number Of shares he had
acquired in certain railway, gas and water
companies. At that time these shares
were comparatively worthless, but as
time wore on their value increased, till at
length they became very considerable
property. Besides his father and the
shares referred to, Mr.. Belmont also left
at home sister and son. The father
died three or four years afterward, and
the sisters inquiries after her brother in
Australia were of course futile, and he
was given up for dead.
A few days ago Mr.. Broddy, City Clerk,
received a letter from the sons solicitors
in London asking for q certificate Of Mr..
Belmonps death. The City Clerk commu.
nicated this fact to Mr. Belmont, who now
discovers that he is the possessor Of q
property composed Of the shares and div,
idend and interest accrued thereto
amounting in all to an income OF some
$4,000 year. Mr.. Belmont made money
in the White Oak Hotel which he carried
on at the corner Of Yonge and Elm streets
but lost 1t again, and was spending hiI
latter years in somewhat reduced circum
stances. 1t appears that he was not abso
lutely ignorant OF tho fortune belonging
to him in England, but for reasons known
TO himself he never took pains TO lay
claim 70 it.

BIG BUNKo BUSINESS.
The Amount Secured Said to Reach Ten
Thousand Dollars.
Inon,or Mana

Thousand Dollars.
Denver News.l
The bunko kings of Denver have reaped
named s. Sessen disposed of farm In the
South Park, and received in payment
therefor $4,000. Mr.. Sessen had owned
the farm for fiye years, and had made It
q most desirable property. The sum he
had sold 1t for II was much larger sum
than he had ever before been possessed OF.
Not unlike great ma ajority Of the men OF
the mountains who become suddenly pos
sessed Of a large sum of money through
some hook or crook Of the fckle goddess,
he came to Denver, the harbor for men of
means, and men who desire to become
possessed Of means. Mr.. Sessen had not
seen Denver for many years, and upon ar.
irving here was somewhat bewildered at
the magnificent proportions the city had
attained.
He deplored the fact that he knew no
one, and for day or two wandered aim.
lessly about the streets. Finally, he was
spotted by q man named Brooks, one Of
the most expert bunkoists in the West
Brooks made himself known. He was o
real estate agent. As is usual in these
cases, the gentlemen had the utmost conf.
dence In each other, and q warm attach.
ment sprang up between them. Brooks in
sisted that Sessens should be his guest, and
the invitation went. Together they visited
the Exposition on Wednesday, and to-
gether they enjoyed the various elaborate
displays Of the productsIof the soil and the
mines and the shops OF Colorado. In tho
evening they visited tho places Of amuse-
ment. Then they departed to meet again
the next morning.
During the day and evening, Brooks had
pumped out Of Sessen the fact that he had
$4,000 in currency and checks. He laid
his plans we'll with his pals, and together
they turned the biggest trick which has
been turned In Colorado for several years.
When Brooks and Session met on Thurs.
day afternoon the gentleman with the pro.
ceeds of his farm In his pocket was steered
into bunko joint on Fifteenth street, and
was induced to follow in the footsteps OF
many thousand predecessors in the lottery
business. He lost all Of his 81, 900. Upon
tumbling to the fact that he was pauper
he became wrathy, and threatened TO
prosecute and to have everybody arrested.
Under ordinary circumstances the bunko.
ist Is equal TO the emergency, but this
transaction was Of such immense proper.
tions that the principals were alarmed al
their own success. They finally managed
to stand of the irate victim until a com.
promise could be made. This compromise
was that Sesson received $500, recelpted ID
for 1t in full for all indebtedness and prom.
ised TO leave forthwith, which he did
leaving the bunkoes $500 winner, which
was divided among themselves, an attor
ney and an ex.Alderman, who made ou
the papers.
A friend Of the victim heard Of the affal-
and sent detective TO find him and Undue,
him to prosecute the bunkoists. Sesser
was found just as he was about TO boarC
a train for the East, but he refused to re
main In Denver single minute Longer
than 1t was absolutely necessary. And h,
didn't.
