PAXTON FATALLY SHoT.-A special
dispatch to the News Miner last even
ing brought the particulars of another
shooting, which occurred this time at
American Falls about half past six
o'clock Tuesday, night, and, which ter.
minated in the sudden death of Bob
Paxton. 1t appears that there has
been an old feud between Paxton and
B. Jackson. On the night OF the
shooting the former ordered the latter
to dance, and it is said that Paxton
had given the same order once or
twice before on different occasions.
Jackson refused 70 dance, drew his
gun and so quickly that he got the
drop on Paxton and fired. Paxton was
shot in the left eye and he died =
most instantly. The trouble between
the two has been anticipated for some
time past. News Miner.

er OF the truth Of his narrative about
his cleanup from moss, he then gains
for himself reputation for utter UNI
reliability by exhibiting his ability,
and his ability to lie hig, wheu be
wants to, is immense, that is, when he
drifts off into the realms of imagine
tive unreasonableness for the sole
purpose OF expelling every vestige of
what little faith the listener might
have had IN his religious regard for
square-toed truth and cold, incon-
trovertiblc facts, after listening to the
truthful recital Of something queer
= strange penomenon something
that is Of interest because of its com
bination of fact and resemblance to
wild unreasonableness. When Bill
finds doubter of the fact Of obtain
ing prospect from the moss, he fires
the following fish story at him and it
issues forth with such GOODNESS of un-
reasonablness that the douhters' faith
in Bills veracity begins to lower when
the later IS about half unloaded --goes
down several degrees every time he
makes pause for effect, and when
the story is ended the doubter's faith
is way below zero, and still defending.
"The moss business" says Bill, sis
not queer nor strange at all. Any
miner knows that moss will catch and
hold gold dust. Acts on the same
principle as a hurlap. But the queer
est thing | ever saw or heard OF was
getting gold from the fish, in Grosvent
river. The first mess OF trout we
caught in that river we all noticed, as
We began to eat of the fish, was fill
ed with grit. None of the boys
could assign cause. l began to

at once. So | went and caught few

gold slowed away all around the gills,
and got a good, fair prospect by MAXI
ing thorough cleanup. But the
best prospect was obtained by scrap
ing the trout. Some way or another
the gold got under the scales and it
was abundant. Gold also c!ung to
the outside of the scales, which is !
standing mystery to me. The mys-
terry is, how can gold dust cling
to such slick surface as that of a
fish? Is it property of the fish
scales or of the gold that causes it?
| haven't the slightest idea, but it's .
fact, and that's enough. We made
good wages cleaning up the trout, and
had more fish than we could eat.
The average was about four bits per
fish. There is nothing strange about

thing more than strange and seeming
