How He Was Once welcomed to the
Town Of Eureka.

Oh
Mike MCGOWAN, the Man Eater" a
well known s~agebrush terror, landed in
town the other day, says the Sonora (Cal.)
Union Democrat. 1t is Mikes usual habit
when he gets in a strange town to get full
of whisky and then indulge in the playful
sport of chewing peoples noses and ears
off. This pleasant practice has given Mike
considerable trouble in his checkered
career. He has been in every Jail in Ne
vada, and has been dubbed out OF nearly
every saloon in that State. Oncew when he
was at the zenith of his fame as a canni-
bal, Major John Dennis, then connected
with the Eureka SENTINEL, met him at the
depot in Elko. Mike was just drunk
enough to be in the right mood for lunch
ing off \ mans ear. AS soon as he saw the
Major, he ran up, exclaiming: "Howdy-
do, Major Dennis /" The Major was a man
Of prompt action, having gained his mill
tary fame in the White Pine Indian war,
to which he led his troops in a blackboard,
80 he drew a revolver with his left hand,
cooked it and presented it at Mike. while
with his right hand he shook the paw of
the man-eater, saying in his blandest tones
as he did so, Every well, thank you; how
are you getting Oh, Mike ?" Thus the
meeting passed off quite pleasantly, and to
this day Major Dennis is firmly convinced
that only his presence of mind saved his
magnificent Roman nose from mastication.
Mike must have reformed or found the
whisky supply too short, for he did not
exhibit any cannibalistic propensities
while here. and soon shook the dust Of
Sonora off his feet.

Unproductive-The Men who have Taken
1t in Hand-The Money and the Powerful
Corporation Behind the Movement.
Every year witnesses an increase in
the volume of emigration westward, and
thousands upon thousands of sturdy
men and women have gone on through
territory vastly superior to that in which
they finally located, with no more care
of observation en- route than if in bal
looms and sailing through clouds. They
have gone on and on, often far beyond
available markets. and out into the wild
lands with no company other than their
own frequently home.sick selves. Others
will follow, and the throng will not per.
ceptibly lessen for years to come. Mean.
time not few of those already settled
are anything but satistied-the rigors of
q severe climate, the frequence of terrific
storms, long hauls to market, and other
disadvantages naturally creating desires
to get back into a country where these
things do not operate against general
prosperity. At no time possibly have
matters appeared in more propltious
shape for eastern lines to enter into
emigration measures than low, and, as
usual, the Baltimore and Ohio takes the
initiative. The corporation has among
its principal stockholders and officials

ing the Importance of the situation, have

Southern Dakota papers are express
ing their sentiments freely upon the DEL
egate question. We have space for
only few samples. The Harold
(Hughes county, Star says:
y y As result Delegate
Raymond-whose backing is without
doubt the strongest-may secure re-.
nomination with little difficulty. He
has done little if anything to antagonize
the friends of other candidates, and his
record in congress is good recommend.
His chief opposition comes from few
hacks whom the people can we'll afford
to sit down on.
This is from the st. Lawrence (Hand
county, Tribune:
If reports are true it would seem that
Hon. John B. Raymond will have the
support of north Dakota with the excep.
tion of the Bismarck crowd. He has
always been in favor of division and
statehood, and claims it is of SO much
Importance to Dakota that he would
sacrifice all other measures to secure it.
He has always shown that be is q friend
of south Dakota. No man has done more
for the interests of the whole territory
than Mr.. Raymond, and We believe he is
entitled to denomination.
The Day County Reporter remarks:
The Fargo Argus says Raymond be.
trayed his friends. but, like all who
charge him with such detection, fails to
state when and how. 1t also says he was
responsible for the failure of Green's
bank in Mississippi. Who in thunder is
Green? Was it Green of Vicksburg? If
it was his bank closed on account of
speculation in Mississippi levee bonds
before congress made any appropriation
and the said appropriation fingered
longer than Green's purse was able to
stand. Was it Green of jackson? If SO
his house bought cotton and speculated
on cotton options till they had no money
or depositors when they came for il,
If the Argus will be kind enough to
specify the Green he means perhaps we
can enllghten him little, as we are
pretty we'll acquainted in Mississippi.
AS to Raymond making fortune down
there, it shows just what we claim for
him, that he is careful, painstaking
methodical business man, who having
managed hie own business successfully
can do as we'll for the territory.
The eleventh legislative district is
composed of the counties of Grand
Forks, Nelson, Traill and Steele. George
a. Walsh has captured the Grand Forks
delegation in his effort to procure the

the situation:
The legislative fight in all four of the
counties will be triangular. Since Walsh
has captured the Grand Forks delega
ton, the opposition has been quiet
Winshlp's paper is on record against

to let the capital commission mantle fal

and elevator interests, if such can b
found. With ali the other countie.
against him, he can hope to succeed onl,
by hercalean labor, of which he is quite
capable if he makes the fight; but it viii

Escaped by Aid OF Il Chip.

An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the old State prison at
Charleston which shows how small and
insignificant n thing may give liberty to
a prisoner. A convict had been sent to
imprisonment for fifteen years for com
hitting a series of burglarieS, and had
served between three ard four years,
when one day he brought a small chip of
wood from the shop where he was en-
gagged in labor to his cell. This fact
was not worthy of notice at the moment.
When, however. the prisoner with
others had marched to their cells, he
placed the chip in such way as to pre-
vent the bolt of the door of his cell from
fastening. The officers on duty made
their usual inspection, saw each man in
his cell, and so reported.
After the inspection had been made
the convict in question opened his cell
door, closed it again, and passed quietly
out of side door into the yard. In a
moment he had gained the shop where
he worked. Here he put on pair of
oycralls belonging to one Of the instruc-
tors, and from there he got upon the
prison wall, and entering one OF the
guard houses he found an oycrcoat, which
he donned. He was now ready to bid
adieu TO the prison. His movements
were in no way slow; for he knew that
at any moment his absence might be no.
ticcd and the officers be upon his track.
Leaping from the wall the convict was
soon in the street and of " for parts I'M
known"
At o'clock, when the prisoners were
to return to the shop for the afternoon,
the absence of the escaped man was no.
ticcd, and although dilgent search was
made and the usual reward offered for
his arrest the fellow was never captured,
but made his way to Halifax. where to-
day he is engaged in Legitimate bust
ness. B0st0H Gl25e

The world has three great constitu-
tiOnal documents, the Dec aration of In
dependence, the Declaration of Rights of
1858 and Magma Charta of King John.
The original of the first named is pre-
served in the Independence hail in this
city and is familiar to most Americans
The bill or Declaration Of Rights that
followed the revolution of 1858 IS pre-
served in the Somerset house, London.
1t is written in small but plain hand,
in English, and covers u parchment
twelve inches wide and nearly thirty feet
long. such was the form in which, in
those days, the records of the house of
lords were kept. The original of the
great Magma Charta of King John has
had varied history, having been many
times moved, and barely escaping de
struction in the great fire of 1866. 1t is
written on very heavy parchment, in size
30Nf2 inches, and surrounded by the
seals of the eighteen barons who forced
the Plantag net king to execute the doc
ument on the plans of Runnymede on
that June day go years ago. The text
is in old Latin, the exact translation of
which has given rise TO n great deal of
learned controversy. At the bottom
right hand corner is the signature of the
king, in bold hand, and through it
runs leather thong which sustains the
scala black and white quartz rock the
size of walnut. or thcrcabouts. The
interesting old document is now preserved
in one OF the mammoth safes in the
British museum, and is shown to visitors
only upon an order from the lord cham
