HER BROTHER's CRIME.
A Young Miner Wandering wildly
in she wyoming Mountains.

bM tnS WyohmAu&
Ever miner in the region Of Carbon.
Wyoming Territory, is searching for John
Lockstt, who is wandering, insane. in the
mountains, after shooting his sister dead.
II was supposed at first that the shooting
was accidental, but Lockett's rawlings indi-
cate other and more terrible details.
Jennie Lockett was the most beautiful.
and at one time the only respectable young
girl in the camp. She was 16 years old.
She and her brother and father lived In a
neat cabin near the schoolhouse. The other
night the father did not come home for
supper and the two young people were
alone at the table. A passing neighbor
heard sounds Of quarreling. A shot fol-
lowed. The door was burst open and the
most beautiful girl In Carbon lay writh-
ing on the floor. pointing TO her brother
and striving with anguished earnestness
TO a~rticulste.
When she was raised up 1t was discov-
cred that she was shot through The neck.
Her tongue had been cut of At the roots
and all hope OF her being able to shed
any light on the mystery Of her taking of
were blighted.
In the meantime her brother John had
rushed from the room insane. with fear
and rage. Searching parties were hurriedly
organized and lynching was talked OF.
Better Judgment prevailed, however, and
many now incline to the belief that the
shooting was purely accidental.

Narrow linen collars with fine embroid-
cred or hemstitched borders are much worn
with house or street dresses.
The Elton is q new cutaway jacket pointed
at the back and very short at the sides,
where it barely reaches the waist line.
Stockings for the Spring trade are in black
and plain dark colors, and are ribbed. Few
clocking on stripes will be worn.
Among the novelties in Spring colors are
~vervine, q delicate lilac; pactole. q yellow
brown, and griotte, q light garnet.
Refined and dainty designs are to be had
in prints for dresses. Some have the effect
OF colored bands in pink and crimson.
Bcnnets made Of small white natural
flowers, and good for one occasion onlyi'
are in high vogue for bridesmaids wear.
For full dress many ssshes are lace
edged, and in one instance the sash itself,
over Q surah toilet, was made wholly OF
lace.
Polonsises and basques divide popular
favor almost evenly, the latter displaying
an unusual variety in style and ornsmen-
tstion.
Many hats and bonnets for Spring wear
are trimmed with gold and silver braid.
and ell sorts Of gold decorative objects are
also in use.
In cotton veilings Or colored cheese
cloths there Is great Choice in color. Light
yellow and a delicate h~eliotrope are partio-
ularly noticeable.
The latest fashion edict is that the
basque must not be of q color different
from that Of the skirt, as such Q combina-
ton 10 now considered execrable taste.
Watercress is the latest foliage selected
for adorning Spring bonnets. A pretty
variation is shown by Q bunch Of pale blue
f~orget-me-nots nesting among the cress
leaves.
It is stated that poplin will be very fash
ionsble for Spring wear in London. II is
probably due to the fact that the Prin-
cess Bestrice's wedding dress is to be Of this
material.
Some black cashmere suits for Spring
wear have plain stuff skirts in simple
style. kits preferred, with ts~stefully-
looped ~polonaise Of cashmere broche worn
over them.
The latest fashion in trimming for
Zouave or Eton jackets 10 to edge them all
around with very small fancy gilt, or
other metal buttons, placed close enough
to touch, but not overlap each other.
Pretty h~ouse-dresses for girls are made
Of striped limousine, with the deep yoke
and the outside of the sleeves braided In
one OF the shades of the stripe. Corslets
or girdles, also braided, are often made to
match, and the full "housemaid skirt is
tucked TO within Q few inches OF the belt.
