to appreciate it.
In the fall OF 1874 two brothers,
&. II. aud E. g. w, were refugees
from the fever, then firstmakiug it's
appearance at Moss Point. Finding
game plentiful, and learning how
to better hunt wild turkey they
stayed until late in the fall before
returning to their hoMps, at Moss
Point, having had almost every
day, more or less sport. The tall OF
1875 being more than ever terrible
with fever they were of earlier
and stayed late +, having more sue
cess than ever before in their
daily hunts.
AS each succeeding fall came
another party was added TO the list
until now 1850 it has become n
regular order of business, as it were,
with Z. Il. Wood as director; Sam
Denny and B. +. Pickett, OF Moss
Point aud Scranton, are numbered
with the oldest members. Ed.

by sicknessl has hunted with the
rest untiI he is considered an old
member. Then Clay Vaughan, late
OF Moss PoiUt, bnt now ot Birmiug

q regular hunter. Although not IA
fast hunter, Mr.. Vaughan is almost

our number. John Ely, of AmerI-
Gus, met with the llutnber in the
fall of 1884, and was expected to
be on hand this time, but tailed TO
put in appearance. Mr.. Ely was
considered one OF the best shots,
aud by bis quiet mauUers made
friends with all. This year. Capt.
Howe came for his first hunt, and
if he does on each succeeding

be counted among the best shots.

California Products in the East.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Much interest is
being taken in the exposition of the
products of Southern California, which
is to open here next Tuesday. Tonight
the great interior of Battery D Armory,
where the exhibition is to take place.
presented scene of decided animation.
A large force of workmen under the
direction of four representatives of the
California immigration Society, were
busy with the hammer and saw,
rapidly bringing order out of
the chaos of lumber decorations and
boxes which have been switched into
the structure by the railway companies
Reporters and other searchers after in
formation kept up an almost contibu-
Gus demand upon the time of the immi-
grafton commissioners. The surround
ing confusion and hustle were strangely
in contrast with the beauty of date,
palm. orange and lemon trees. Their
dark green foliage was brought into
prominence by the electric lights over
head and were the source of constant
admiration. The plans tor the eX-
hibltion, the commissioner said. are
now complete and the work is
progressing in manner that seems to
assure satisfactory opening on the APP
pointed day. In Battery D the mana
gers have secured excellent facilities in
regard TO light and heat, that were lack
ing in the exposition building. Both
buildings are equally well located, and
those in charge of the "Citrus Fair" as
it is known here, feel, with the hearty
cooperation they getfrom the municipal
authorities and others from whom they
sought assistance, that the enterprise
will be a pronounced success. They say
that already the curiosity aroused by
the enterprise and the talk it has
created has done considerable to pave
the way for more intimate commercial
relations between Chicago and Southern
California.

THE CLOW-MURPHY FRAUD.
How Butte People Were Badly
Swindled.

The wMurphy glove fight fasco
was leading topic of discussion yester-
day in Butte. Outside the circle of men
who fighter pretend to fight-for a
living, not a single apologist for the
conduct OF the fellows who deliberately
swindled 700 or 800 people out of as
many dollars, could be found. The
better class of sportingmen were loudest
in the denunciation of the "hippodrom-
ers" and their methods. Said one ad-
mirer of square sport:
They manage these things better
in Mexico. The citizens OF that Re-
public love bull-fghting. and the
bloOdier the contest the better it suits
the public. a few years ago, however,
the buli-fghters began to hippOdrome.
They did this by placing in ring bulls
that were not vicious, and had not the
indications, nor the strength to make
gallant fight. The brutal public en-
dured this for while, and
passing a law which inhicts fine
of $1O0 or more for participation in
bull-fght, but the law is never enforced
when the torO is a brave one. That is
what the authorities of Butte should do
with the alleged. pugilists. Let them
fight ii they want to fight,
but arrest them for obtaining
money under false pretenses every time
they victimize the public by failing to-
10 what they advertise they will do"
Another prominent sporting man
said: "Not the least disgusting part of
the business is the denial by Glow and
Murphy and their respective friends
that 'hippodrome' was intended when
the match was made. or that the failure
of the men to fight was due to anything
but an unfortunate combination of cir
cumstances. II such is the case-if
theyare really anxious to test each
others mettle-why do they not hight it
out in private room or on the
turf. Or they might fight in aball for
sweet charity's sale. They could do
this by appointing q committee of three
reputable citizens TO secure a hall, a
referee and a set OF gloves, and donate
to the Sisters Hospital or some other
deserving charity the gate receipts.
after all expenses are paid. In fact, if
Glow and Murphy desire to remove the
stigma which their conduct of Wednes-
day night evoked, they could not acopt
q better method than this
And such is the opinion of 90 per
cent. OF Butte's population.-Miner.

Missionaries for i frica .

JERSEY CITY, March 20.-About twenty
missionaries sailed this afternoon on
the Inman steamer City Of Chester to
join Bishop Taylor. Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in Africa. About a
year ago, Bishop Taylor with a volun-
teer company of missionaries, went
to the Coast of Africa to commence
the work of Outstanding natives.
The party Remained on the coast near
the mouth of the Congo River, gradu-
ally growing acclimated before they
commenced their march 10 the interior,
which IS their ultimate destination.
Several weeks ago Bishop Taylor made
a call for more volunteers. 1t was in
response to this call that the party on
the Chester sailed this afternoon. Promi-
nent among the number were the Rev.
Mr.. Shorthand of Oregon, Rev. and
and Mrs. Clark Smith and four children
OF Oregon, DR.. Harrison of Ohio, Sur
veyor Burr of Oregon, missionaries
Cameron, Steele and Walker. Mr.. and
Mrs. Elkin OF Ohio, Mr.. Baker of Brook
Ign, aud Mr.. Sartecn OF Missouri
Among the party are to be found far
mers, merchants and teachers. The
company will be divided into
two or three parties and will es-
tablish line OF stations.
Besides thework of evangelism the mis-
sionaries will teach the natives to read
and write The women will be taught
to sew and the men instructed in some
trade. The party carried with
them sealed instructions from
Bishop Taylor. They will probably
travel 500 miles into the interior
of Africa. They took with them
a large amount of supplies, including
canned goods of every description and
agricultural implements. Large RATS,
packed in sections. and to be used in
conveying their provisions down the
river during the journey into the in
terror, were among the outfit. There
was large gathering of clergy men and
laymen prominent in the Methodist
Church at the dock to see the mission
aries off, and to wish them God speed.

TWO INTERESTING RELICS.
Medal Given to the Creek H.
dians.. and an Old Spanish
Mortar.

Mr.. A. D. Battle, of Shreveport, La,
writes as follows to the New York San:
81 have in my possession silver
medal Weighing one ounce and three
quarters, on one side of which is pipe
and tomahawk crossed and savage
and military hand clasped, with the in
scription, Peace and Friendship On
the reverse is a side view picture and
bust of President Jackson, with the in =
scription, Andrew Jackson, President
of the United States, AID. 1922
"This medal was brought here by
negro man about thirty years ago, from
CoWeta County, Georgia, though have
never been able to find how he came by
it. 1t is, however, fair to assume that
it was given to Mcintosh, chief of the
Greek Indians, at time treaty was
made by the government with that tribe.
It will be remembered that about. that
time Mcintosh was killed at council
on the Ten Islands, in the Chattahooka
River, by a faction of the tribe led
by Apothleahola Il am not certain
that the name is spelled correctly
in accordance with a resolution
that whoever of the tribe should dispose
of any more of the land should be
killed. If my memory serves me right
Mcintosh was succeeded by his son,
who, finding his faction tine weaker. re-
moved with his band to the Indian
territory. 1 have an idea there is
another medal of the kind in existence.
Il also have an apothecary mortar
made of bell metal, which weighs seven
pounds, which was found in 1886 four
teen feet beneath the surface of the
Yazoo River. twelve or fifteen miles
from Yazoo City. then called Manches-
ter. The mortar is artistically cast, but
its historical value rests upon the fact
that on the outer sidt is what printers
call an imprint This is circle of
about an inch in diameter, in the centre
of which is Spanish inscription, which
l cannot decipher, though the letters
are tolerably distinct.
Under the circumstances it is a
reasonable theory that the mortar was
left at one of their camps by De Soto I
and his band. If left by any of the old
French vovagers, the inscription would
almost certainly have been in French"
