Collins felt so nervous over the awful

any of the pluuder home with him. and
so. after counting the money, he in

the understanding that they should
meet next day. take a TRIP to New
Haven. and there deposit his share in
| the bank in his own name, or any name
he might wish to assume.
When Kevern made package of the
money again he picked up fragment
of another newspaper he found in the
room. leaving that bearing Collins
name living llpon the floor. 1t was
shortly after Collins return home that
night that he called my attention to
poor Bradley's house. foolishly think
ing that by so doing he would not come
within the range of suspicion.
Collins died of pure terror before the
day appointed for his executi on. but
Kovern paid the extreme penalty of tho
law.
1t was in this case which l worked
upon my own account. and in which
was largely assisted by mere chance,
that gave me place on the detective

ever since. Many . man has worked

THAT ROW.

The Shoshone Journal comes to
hand with nearly five columns devot-
ed to telling how the trouble last Sun
day DID NOT begin. The editor can
not be blamed for endeavorlng to
make a fair showing for his towns
people in this discreditable business,
but he should initiate Mr.. Csllwell's
candor, in his letter published on the
editorial page of the Journal OF to-
day. We quote as follows:
I, in good faith, wrote to Mr.. Cot
fin, saying that as his club was to be in
Shoshone on that day to play Poca.
telio, we could be at no additional ex-
pense, but would play them return
game that day if they wished. After
thinking the matter over, CONCLUDED
best NOT TO MAIL THE REPLY, the
game having fallen through twice and
might the third time, and we did not
think there was time to change the
program, but waited to see them here
in person. Mr.. Lennon came to us
On the grounds, while the Wood Rlv-
or and Pocatello game was being
played, and asked how about the
purse. l told him that it would be
impossible for us to raise 800 to play
for. He said that it did not matter
as they were not anxious to put up q
purse ii we did not insist. l told hin
we would not insist.

THE HALEY TINES editor has
entered into partnership with the
notorious John Condron, and these
two sweet-scentcd representatives
have issued challenge in behalf of
the Haley Base Ball Club, and in
clude all the buns and strikers with
them.-Shoshone Journal.
Mr.. Condron is in no way notorious,
that we know of-and we have known
him, and of him, for probably eight or
ten years, in Nevada and Idaho. He
Is simply mining man, who also dab
bles in politics occasionally, but al
ways disinterestedly, and for the sole
purpose of assisting his friends.
Wherever he is known his word will
be accepted much more readily than
the "bond" Of most people, and he is
a man who has never been appealed
to in vain in behalf OF any charitable
cause. His sporting proclivities lead
him to organize horse or foot-races, at
his own expense if no one offers to
assist, and he even sometimes COM
mits what the virtuous editor of the
Journal night consider horrible
crime, in coppering the big square and
playing the pc: to win, or by betting
q "four.Aush" as if it were "full."
But no man has ever accused John
Condron of cheating, or "squealing'
when beaten, whether it be at a fare
or poker game, q horse race, or IN a
mining transaction, nor of lacking
courage to fulfill any obligation. VIII,
such man should be dubbed as "no
torious," we arc unable to understand
Mr.. Condron.is well-known and SO j,
Brother Allen), but he is not "notori
GUS" So, just blame it on us, Brother
Allen--just blame it on us:

Francisco, published in the Woop
RIVER TIMES, would have been in
better taste, had it been printed be-
fore his death. The TINES says it
may do him a grievous injustice. In
that case it should never have been
published, for the person dispersed is
powerless to defend himself by retut-
ing it. Tuscarora Times.R Review.
The anecdote was published as a
story, yarn, canard; and it was so
stated. But it was only one OF the
many stories that all old-timers de-
light n telling of the early days OF
the old Comstock-and which are
simply meant to amuse. No reflection
was cast upon the deceased. Nor
would the Times Review man have
charged it if he had not aimed to "ca
out" reply from the TINES.

main for a short time. DR.. Friedline

A LITTLE "OFF."

The Shoshone journal accuses f.
c. Coffin OF using very profane Ian
guage during the row last Sunday.
and calling one msnas- of b.;
also of abusing the citizens Of that
place in scandalous manner. Mr..
Allen was near by during Mr.. Collins
"taik," and it is hard to conceive how
he could be so much mistaken. "A
TINES reporter was also within 10
feet of Mr.. Coffin, and heard no such
epitlet applied. No citizen of Sho-
shope was abused, nor was there any
insinuating language used toward any
one of them. AS the TIMEs reporter
heard it, all that was said applied
strictly to Mr.. Caldwell and one or
two others who countenanced his &C.
ton. Mr.. Caldwell did not see fit to
resent any Of the many insu!ts-pos
sibly because he had nothing but his
ponderous carcass ut stake. Ger
tainly he has no reputation to lose on
Wood River, where he is known as a
check gorilla. This is the reporters
own.-Ep.] The Wood River people
could not ask for better treatmen,
than was received at the hands of the
respectable citizens of Shoshone on
that day, and they are unanimous in
saving so,

The most recent volcanic eruption
in the United States is believed to
have occurred at Feather Lake, Plu-
mas county, CAL, in 1850. The site
Of the volcano is marked by cinder
cone and by lava field about three
miles long and mile wide, in which
the lava may average as much as $50
feet in thickness.

Gen. Harrison was neither gourmand
tastes, and abstcmious in his indulgence
at the table The writer has frequently
eaten at the generals table and he at the
writers table, so that our knowledge Of
the demand of his appetite are not merely
hearsay. Nor was Gen. llarrison's sick
ness, which terminated in his death,
brought ON by over eating large quantities
Of indigestible food As was always an
active, energetic man, and from boyhood
to the last week ofhis life rose early, and
when it was to be done, engaged at the
early dawn in necessary outdoor work.
And when there was no such work, he
usually took long walk before break
fast. This had become part of his life,
and when he came to Washington he
continued the practice
The week before his death, in pursu-
ance of the practice of his active life, and
his habit of early rising and exercise, the
general took walk, as he frequently did
across the long bridge to Georgetown.
About the time he started to return he
discovered a shower approaching, and
FASTENED his steps to reach the White
House before the rain. lie worked him
self into Il Precipitation, and heavy dash
of rain wet him thoroughly before he
reached protection. The next day he
was quite indisposed which was quickly
followed by pneumonia or bilious pleu-
risy, which batlled all medical skill, and
terminated his useful life after an illness
of eight days. These are facts, and he
was not killed by lIoosier cook giving
him his favorite, cabbage, cucumbcrs am
picked pork.

"Be sad" you say? Pray why be sad,
When earth and sky and sea are glad?
The fierce waves roar and mock the sea :;
The wild winds MARBLE strains of glec;
The cloudless sky is bright and fair,
And tinged with colors rich and rare
The birds among the pine-tops sing,
With cricket chirps the forests ring
The brooklets through the meadows
flow,
And ripple music soft and low;
And laughing boys let loose fIom school
Are bathing in the brooklet's pool.
Life has some thorns, but more of flowers
Some sad, but more Of joyful hours;
And all this sorrow, woe and pain
Is earthly loss for heavenly gain.
Unclaimed my thoughts; my heart is
glad
My soul refuses to be sad.

RIVER PIRATES oN THE DELAWARE
"Riyer pirates are just as thick as ever
on the Delaware, said Customs Inspector
Frank Bingham. "The only difference
is they don't coniine their operations TO
scrap-iron and junk, but do little
smuggling now and then. There are
plenty of their boats in the river, built
and planned.exactly, so as to defy de-
lection.
Their plan is to run alongside vessels
that lie in the stream and load up their
boats from the cargo, which is generally
sugar or spirits. They operate generally
at night. If detected they generally
manage to escape, and then the officers
of the vessels swear that they were steal
ing or broaching the cargo without their
knowledge. The officers of every foreign
vessel that comes to this port know that
practically the custom officials are off
duty at night, and confne their opera
tons, of course, TO the period from sunset
to sunrise"
