Remarkable Erperi' nee of a 81. louis
P.r,y tn the West.
A gentleman just returned from the West
relates an amusing experience While In
Montana he joined surveying party and
with it started out for a trip across portion
Of the plains, leading them some distance
from civilization. Towards noon, when out
of sight of any habtation, the party noticed
a stoim approaching. The black clouds
were chasing one another across the sky
with rapidity that warned them that the
rain would be upon them within, at the most
a very few moments.
They had made no calculation on Storm
and were entirely without protection. II
they should be caught without shelter, and
there seemed no escape, their clothing would
be drenched with the rain and they would
be obliged to travel in this condition for the
balance of the day. No alternative was ap-
parent. and they were preparing to meet
their fate, when a brilliant idea flashed
across the mind of one of the party. Close
at hand was rocky promontary, in whose
base were several long, but narrow, assures.
why not he suggested, remove the cloth
dry. Whatever water might fall upon them
would not injure their skins" Quick action
was necessity, for already they could see
the storm approaching.
In minute every man stood clothed in
nothing but his native modesty. the clothes
were quickly. slowed away aud the jolly
crowd rushed back to- the wagon and tumb-
led In between the wheels that they might
be protected as much as possible by the wag-
on bed. Then they huddled together and
waited for the storm. And it came, not in
gathering rain drops but in great big frozen

with the sound of baseball bat As the
hail.stones beat upon their skins they grew
restless reared, snorted and became so un-
manageable that 1t became absolutely nee
eSSary that some member of the party
should goto their heads. There was no
climbing out to see who could get there first.
All shrank back. and the boldest of the
ihe horses brides. There he stood with his
head bent down to protect his face, hopping
up and down and groaning as the Jumps Of
Ice pelted his bare skin. But his strength
was not enough to hold the snorting beasts,
and one by one the rest of the party, with
rueful countenances, were forced 10 crawl
from their shelter and run TO their comrades

Then five figures practiced the Highland
fling and a few fancy ballet steps out there
on the lonely plains with only the elements
and the two frightened horses to witness
their antics for five minutes. At the end of
that time they crawled over the ice to the
wagon where they cleared space on the
ground and sat on their feet to warm them.
Then they resumed their clothing and sor.
rowfully drove away. When they reached
civilization their figures were dotted with
black and blue spots from head to foot.

SUICIDE OF A HORSE.
Strange Actions Of an Animal that Evil
IDENTITY Wanted 60 Die.

There was very sudden and remark
ably singular equestrian suicide commit
ted in our village few days ago. The
horse had been worked but little in
single harness. A young man was
driving her, and stepping In front of
Rainwatei IS store called FIR him but as he
was busy at the time and could not leave
the store room conveniently. he request
ed negro man who was in the store to
go out and take the young gentleman's
horse and hold her till he could step in
and see him. He did so, and in less
than two minutes the animal made an
effort to get loose By rearing up and fall
backwards on the buggy. This the boy
prevented by pulling her down 10 the
ground between the shafts. Soon there
after the straps and traces were loosened
and she let out OF the buggy, whercupon
Immediately she sprang up. pulled back
in effort TO get loose from The negro, who
still held to the bride, reared up on her
hind feet suddenly, jerking the bride
from the boys hand, and fell backwards,
and in ten minutes was lifeless. The
horse belonged to II negro near, who had
traded for her only a few days before.

And Their Experience with winchestsrs
and Copper Mines.
In the corridor of the Southern Hotel last
night, reporter ran across three gently
dressed young men, who appeared and
talked far more like under graduates from
some Eastern College. than like real tough
men. But real tough men they must be, for
but few days ago they were released from
a Jail in New Mexico, and but few days
prior to that, armed with Winchester rifles
and accompanied by ten trusted friends,
they attacked mine in Santa Fe county.
The three young men were the OterO
brothers, and Mr.. William A. Vincent, one
of their lawyers. Mr.. Page Otero is a grad

family are well known in the city.
The story told Of their experiences regard
Ing the big Copperhead mine in the Ortiz
Mountains, forty miles from Santa Fe, one
of the richest deposits of copper, gold and
silver in the country, Is full OF interest.
Their father in looking over his papers
one day, ran across deed of this mine from
the Spanish Government TO his uncle. In

Boston parties. including George William
Ballou. Steve EllSins and Mr.. Dorsey were
preparing TO buy it. He Immediately
warned them not 10 buy.
The Boston parties however, were not to
be driven off from such rich lead in any
such way.
They secured the services of Mr.. w. W.
Griffin, of Santa Fe, TO make a survey, and
Mr.. Griffin had no difficulty in making such
a survey as would include the big Copper
head mine III the land grant OF the Raston
parties.
Then followed Two or three years of lti-

from this. the 0tero boys gathered few

rode down to the mlne. They had no diff

showed little disposition to fight, and the
Otero boys commenced working the mine
alone, and continued until they were called

| with an injunction against working the
mine and an order to give back the posses
sion of it to Elkins, Dorsey, Ballou, ct al.
| The case went to court, and the Otero boys
| were allowed two hours In which to make

One of the attorneys for the prosecution
asked the question: "What conversation

The defense refused to answer on the
| ground that the question was not admissible
"a claim that would have been unques-
toned by the commonest lawyer.
The Judge thereupon sent whole. party,
including the three lawyers engaged in the
defense, Mr.. Vincent Judge Downs and
Judge Bostwick, 10 jail for SO days, fined
them each $3.50 and costs and debarred the
lawyers from practice.

havoc at the Casino this week, as she skip

long veil and faced her. The singer started
in surprise and caught at a stage setting for

There was an affecting scene, and the
audience wondered why they were compell-
ed to wait so long for the encore. II came
at last, however-Lillian appeared upon the
stage with step far different from that
which had delighted the bald headed men
IN the front row. The leader of the orches-
ira waited for his cue. but 1t did not come.
She stood In the center OF the stage silent

key and followed In simple chords. The
voice grew stronger and clearer as the face
Of the singer was turned from the wing to

she turned toward the wing again and some
