business.
Many years ago down in Idaho
during a gold excitement, a good
macy men went into the country to
make money outside the gold hunt
ing industry. Their idea was to
make the other fellows deivc for
the gold, while they appropriated
it afterwards.
Rollin Dagcett, afterwards Ne
vada's Congressman, established a
ferry boat Oh a small creek and
named the place death 5 Ford
at the same time inyenting a musty
legend to the effect that it was
thus named because 50 many lives
had been lost in an attempt TO
cross 1t. The stream was not over
a dozen yards wide and the water
nowhere over two feet deep, but he
rigged up flat boat and pulled it
back and forth By rope contriv-
ance. Whenever the prospectors
crossed he RECALLED them with hor-
rible tales of the treachery Of the
stream, and the remorseless quick
sands which had draw so many men
and mules to terrible deaths
In the night when he ferried peo-
pie over he would caution them not
to get too near the edge Of the boat
as a fall overheard was certain
death. By letting the dim old
lantern go out and making slow
time, he frequently impressed the
passengers with the idea that the
stream was half mile wide.
For night trips he charged S.,
but if the wind was high and the
weather bad, he struck sanguine
for much larger sums.
In the day time 81 was his modest
charge.
He went along in this way for
several months, the men who |
.ushed to the hills looking upon
hin as benefactor to his race by |
his conquering of so formidable
IN obstacle to travel as Deaths
Ford"
One day, Charley Stoddard, the
promoter, appeared on the bank
With a mule and boarded the fiat
BOAT to cross. In the midst of the
stream; just when the ferryman
vas telling how dangerous the
,lace was, the mule got FESTIVE and
ell overheard. One leg caught on
rope and he got his head under

Dose he lay there in the middle of

aw what miserable sham the
cry was, and that any four-tooted
nimal could walk across. Daggett

The Powers Murder Case

HoLLIsTER, Feb. 27.-The great
struggle in the Prewett case was
reached this morning. The prose e.
cution placed Richmond Stlce on
the stand, He is one of the alleged
conspirators, and yesterday evening
the information for murder against
him and two others were dismissed.
The defense objected to his testl-
flying On the grounds that the
Court had no right to order his dis
charge from the information. All
the morning was taken up in the
argument, which probably will con-
tinue the balance of the day. On
the point of admitting this testi-
mony probably rests the conclusion
of the case, for if Stice is permit
ted to testify others of the conspira-
tors will follow, resulting in the
establishment of all that the prose
cution claim. Judge Breen has
intimated that his opinion is favor
able to the admission Of this testi-
m0ny.

instantaneous Photography

Under the old way of taking

UP in a photographers picture rack
for half an hour and when the
supreme moment arrived the sub
ject was ready to drop to the floor
with fatigue. It was next to i'm
possible to take child's picture,
but now under the new dry plate
process perfect photograph can be
taken in a fractional part of sec

style of caricatures which took half
an hour. The instantaneous pictures
are now be taken with great success
at Peterson's art gallery.

1t is stated with an appearance
of truth that Roscoe Conkling has
consented to resume the leadership
of the New York Republicans, and
will enter headlong into the fight
for the next legislature which is
to elect a successor to Senator
Miller. Conkling is the only
hope of the Republican party in
New York. Perhaps he thinks
the party has been punished
enough for not standing by him
in 1881, and has at last condo
scended to resume his former i'm
perial sway in its councils.

Col. Dan Lucas and Judge Brannon in Town
What They are Doing.
The political cauldron seems TO have
good deal of fire under it from the way 1t
is beginning to seethe and sizzlc. Talk
about township officers is becoming quite
spirited, and Col. Noah Price and other
monument ward workers are making the
welkin ring and the bricks groan with
their lively chatter of tongue and foot.
Since Col. Dan Lucas arrival he has
not been idle making friends. The genial
orator from Jefferson arrived here last Fri
day and did not get away until yesterday.
His pleasant face and OutStretchcd hand
were seen in many places where the mod
ern tribumes of the people, so to speak, do
cong. egate. 1t is said, he goes away from
the city with many good wishes, and
stronger, in Senatorial sense, than when
he came, and while his fences many not be
hog tight and bull high, it is alleged by
his admirers, they will compare favor
ably with some of the other Candidates
bulwarkS, cOuntcrscarpS, &c., for keeping
out the enemy.
Judge -BrannOn arrived ut the Stamm
last night. 1t is reported that he brought
several gangs OF fence builders with him,
who, rs soon as they got their supper,
started out with their maulS and other
implements of their trade, and before
midnight had done considerable damage to
Col. Ben. Wilson and Mr.. Frames fences.
In one district it was alleged all OF
Frames and Wilson's fences were RACED
beyond recognition and post holes dug for
BrannOn's. To-day the Judge will proba-
bly, finish Ohio county and take whirl
up in Brooke and perhaps Hancock.

THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGAIN
WRESTLB WITH THE LEVY.
The Action Of August Second RsScinded, ant
he Original Figures Allowed 10
Stand.

. Although the special meeting of the
Board of Commissioners, called for yester-
day morning, was a most important one,
involving as it did the question of what
the county levy should be, there was q
bare quorum of members present when
President Woods raped for order at lO:So
O'Clock. the absentees being Messrs. Peter
son, Prince, Nichols and Stoker.
President Woods stated the object Of the
meeting and after short discussion Pros
eeuting Attorney Jordan appeared before
the Board on the subject of the levy, read
ing the provisions of the Code in relation
thereto. and showing conclusively that
the levy made ut the meeting OF August I'd
was illegal.
Discussion was resumed after Mr.. Jordan
had concluded, and finall Mr.. Stein moved
that the action of the Board on August "a,
fixing the levy at iifty-iye cents he resclnd-
ed. This was adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Delbrugge then moved THAT the
order paSsed by the Board on August =,
1885. resembling the order of the Board OF
July 3, 1886, fixing the county levy at 6O
cents, be rescinded."
This was also unanimously adopted, and
the Board took a recess until = o'clock.
The result of this action is to leave the
levy at 60 cents, as originally fixed i'll July.
At O'Clock an effort was made to get
the Board together to discuss the old ques-
ton of right of way for the Natural Gas
Company of West Virginia through the
Poor-hOuse farm or along the adjacent
road, but quorum could not be had, al
though some lively diminishing was done.
