We presume the Bath democrats who en-
dorse the appointment of Charles b.
Morton as Commissioner OF Navigation,
have no farther concern about the navi-
CATION interests of their city since
Morton has gone to Washington to take
the helm. But the gray headed mariners

who really have the interest of their bust

Senator Hale thinks there will be no
tariff legislation this session as the Senate
is not disposed to go into that question.
He thinks the work of Congress will not
go beyond the passage of the appropria-
ton bills.
1t is bad enough 10 send a land lubber to
sea as master of e vessel, but it is small
evil in comparison with putting person
at the head of the Bureau of Navigation,
who, as the Portland Express says, knows
no more about navigation than "a tin
peddler does of the Andover creed.'
The shp-owners of Bath, Maine, have
appointed a committee TO proceed to
Washington to protest against the running
of navigation interests by admitting for
eign ships TO American register. We I'M
derstand that the same committee, com
posed mainly of democrats. partially
neutralze their influence with sensible
men by upholdng the nomination of
Charles B. Morton for Commissioner of

Last evening, attracted by the constant
stream of people of fashionable bearing
and elegant attire pouring into Held's
Masonic dining hall on Sixteenth street,
the reporter went with the current and
soon found himself at anchor within the
walls of this dainty restauratcur's estab-
lishment. Here was gathered for the
noted caterers s o'clock dinner, a striking
assemblage of Cheyenne's wealth, fashion
and culture. Elegance attracts and ex.
c~ellence retains, and the dainty chef
dourres Held daily spreads before
his guests has earned for him a reputa-
ton which, happy as it is at present, is
ever strengthening itself. An almost
priceless French cook graces the kitchen.
and insures the menu being a bewildering

Certain developments in the ease OF
Schaffer, the man now lying in a half I'M
conscious state in the county hospital here.
places the affair in the category of n%sycolo-
gical phenomena.
1t wi be at once recalled by readers of
Yesterdays LEADER, that Schafer is suf
fering from the effects of an accident
which crushed his head between two
heavy logs and that he was utterly uncon-
scious for seventy-two consecutive hours.
The evening before last the reporter listen
ed to n conversation spriuging from this
case, in which several of the learned in the
sciences bore a part. The conversation
gradually drifted into a consideration and
discussion of psychological phenomena. In
the course of the conversati n the famous
incident from the Professors Story of
Oliver Wendell Holmes, was cited. This
incident was as follows. An English
naval officer at the battle OF the Nile,
while transmitting an oral order was
struck on the head by a fragment of a
bursting shell, instant and utter uncon .
sciousncss resulting. In this state the
stricken man made the long voyage to
England, and did not recover conscious
ness until after his arrival at Greenwich
hospital, and here in the hospital cot on
the shores of England, his first words
finished the order cut short by the burst
ing shell on the deck of the ship, amid
the roar and carnage of the great battle
of tie Nile.
This narration made such All impress
sion on the reporter mind that he deter
mined to apply a psychological test to the
case of Schaffer. Accordingly he wended
his way to the county hospital and inquiry
from the hospital attendant brought out
the curious fact, that on recovering con
sciousness here, after seventy two hours
Of insenslbility, the first words Schafer
uttered were The log is slipping, thus
practically duplicating the incident Of the
Professors Story" and affording an
other opening for awkward material st
questions.

AN ESCAPE AND CAPTURE.
The Cool and Daring Impudence of a
Montana Convict.

MIR. Alex. Brown, one of the guards oil
the Montana penitentiary, passed through
Cheyenne yesterday on his way to Texas
to bring back n Thomas Murphy, a
well known cattle thief who escaped from
the %penitentiary last March.
Murphy was formerly a butcher in
Dillon. Extensive cattle thefts were
traced to him by the detectives of the
Montana Stock Growers Association,
and on his trial, last October a year ago,
he was convicted and sentenced to ten
years in the p%enitentiary. As he was an
important parsonage in prison life, he
wos given a cell by himself, and a pair Of
the heaviest shackles the institution
could boast. Deemed now a fixture of
the establishment, Mr.. Murphy was left
to himself a good portion of his time and
one fine morning great was the surprise
and CONSERVATION when it was found that
Murphy had left his snug quarters with
ou' any unnecessary ceremonies of leave
taking. He had dug through a solid
stone wall and departed, carrying his
shackles with him.
All attempts to trace him failed, and
the officers had about abandoned the
search, when there arrived An express
package, marked c. o. D., addressed
to United States Marshal r. S.
Kelley. The charges we're paid, and on
the package being opened there appeared
TO the astonished and Infatuated marshal,
Murphy's shackles nearly filed apart. The
lmpudent bravado cut to the quick, and
Marshal Kelley swore a mighty oath that
Mr.. Murphy should return to his old
quarters in the Montana penitentiary.
The hunt was again on foot. During the
course of the renewed pursuit, the mar
shall learned that Murphy came originally
from Texas, and ascertained the precise
locality which had been honored by his
residence. The Texas authorities were at
once communicated with, and a few days
ago the marshal had the satisfaction OF
hearing that Murphy had been arrested
at Lis old home. and was held subject to
order.
Mr.. Brown was at once dispatched after
the recaptured convict, taking with him
the same shackles so imprudently re-
turned, and which had been repaired
especially for the occasion and Mr.. Muir
phys benefit. Mr.. Brown will return by
way of Cheyenne, and the impudent and
daring Montana Texan convict will re-
pose for a night in our county Jail.
