A Miraculous Escape.

The Bozeman Chronicle Of the 5th
inst. contains al account of an es-
cape from drowning which Is indeed
miraculous. The story as told by q
correspondent Of that paper is that
MI. and Mrs. Banta, of Willow
Greek, accompanied by their young
est son and daughter, on the I'd inst.
were visiting neighbors and upon
their return home attempted to cross
a stream on the ice, over which they
had safely passed in the morning.
Unsuspectingly they launched out
upon the untried sea, when suddenly
the ice gave way rrecipitating them
all beE cath the water. Submerged in
an icy food they all strove to regain
the shore. The mother prompted by
maternal love, succeeded in saving
herself. The father with bis delicate
little daughter in his! arms made a
brave struggle and while it seemed at
tines that he must relinquish the
struggle, finally reached the shore en-
tirely exhausted. The son, an ener-
getic robust lad Of undaunted cour-
age. padded his own canoe, and by
superhuman Efforts managed to reach
the wagon which in part yet hung on
the unbroken ice. Just at this time a
neighbor who had noticed the sudden
disappearance of the team hastened
TO the spot aud rendered material and
timely aid and in securing needed
comfort.

How a Little Girl Got Gen SCOTS
Autograph.
PHILADELPHIA Record,l


A lady passing the season here was
very anxious to get Gen. Scott's
autograph. He was very busy, and
she found her task very difficult.
One day the happy thought struck
her that her pretty little lO-year-old
daughter might be able in this case
to accom- plish what she herself could
not. So she sent the charming little
girl to the generals Office with the
autograph album. The orderly told
her that she could not see the busy
general. She would not be denied.
She would wait. she said. Atthe end
OF half an hour the orderly took her
request to the a%djutant. Tue latter
admitted her, but told her she could
not possibly see the general. She
said she must.
AT last the adju'ant showed her
the door leading to Gen, Scott's
office, and told her she could 60 in if
she dared. Taking him at his word,
she marched right in. This is her
description of the call, given at tho
time: Il was afraid at first when he
looked up, but as soon 6 s he saw it
was only me he saiu right pleasantly;
Well. little girl, what do you want7'
And | told him my ma wanted him

with me and asked me who my ma

pa was in the army, and ma was all
alone with lie. and then he just
kissed my cheek and wrote in mas
book, and said Good morning to
me, and l came. out, and nobody
didn't hurt me at ALL" This is what
he wrote: Treason is the greatest

The American girl is chamgagny.
She is glittering, foamy, hubby,
sweet, dry, tart-in a word, fzzy!
She has not that dreamy, magical,
murmury loneliness of our Italian
girl. And yet there is a cosmopolitan
combination in the American girl
that makes her q most attractive CO.
quette in her frankness, In her par
donable frivolity. in her being a
phenomenon of verbal intri1ues!
You may lose your head with her
easily in a week, and in the way Of
recollecting what you had said to her
yesterday, for she is gifted with
memory; but your heart-jamais!
1t takes a longer time for that! But
be sure she will have both so mel or

to you amid signs and smiles:

"what female heart car gold des-

impression that the alpha and omega

girl is one never to be forgotten. She
is bright, brisk, and business like.

of which has been given in the
MINER, the jury after finding that
the man came to his death by means
Of a gunshot wound mallciously
given by an Indian or Indians to the

grave CHARGE.
"And the Jurors do further find
and say that the primary cause of
this and many other homicides Is to
be found in the criminal negligence
of Indian agents who permit the
Indians to roam at will outside their
reservations, avowedly tor the pur-
pose of making war on other tribes,
killing cattle and stealing horses
from settlers. and incidentally muir.
dering white men who are so unfor-

We clip from that journal:
The hanging wall was encountered
last Saturday night and the tunnel
yesterday morning had cut into the
lead several feet. The ore at this
depth-six hundred feet beneath the
surface-was found to be free milling
and much superior in value to that
in the old workings, some four hum
dred feet above.
Knowing the deep interest which
our citizens feel in the Drum Lum-

reporter last night determined to 60 to
the fountain head for information
in other words, to interview MIR. At

a rather difficult thing to do when it
is considered that that gentleman
was at Marysville, twenty miles from
