A New Mexico Mans Experience ut the Hands
of a Mob.
Theodore Baker, d New Mexico man
who was recently hanged by d mob, but
was rescued and cut down before life
was extinct, gives this account of his ex-
perience to a newspaper correspondent:
"a little further on we came to q
telegraph pole. From the crossbar
swung new rope On one end was q
big slip moose They led me under the
rope. tried to stoop. down and pull
my boots of, as l had promised my folks
1 would not die with my boots on, but
before I could do it the moose was
thrown over my head and I was ierked
off my feet. Ny senses left me mo-
ment, and then l walked up in what
seemed to be another world As I recol-
lect now, the sensation was that every
thing about me had multiplied a great
many times. 1t seemed that my five
executioners had grown in number until
there were thousands of them. I saw
what seemed to be multitude of animals
of all shapes and sizes. Then things
changed and was in great pain. I be-
came conscious that | was hanging by
the neck, and that the knot Of the rope
had slipped around under my chin. Ny
hands were loosely tied, and I ierked
them loose and tried to catch the rope
above me. Somebody caught me by the
feet just then and gave me a jerk. It
seemed like a bright flash of lightning
passed in front of my eyes. 1t was fol-
lowed by terrible pain up and down
and across my back, and l could feel my
legs jerk and draw up. Then there was
blank, and l knew nothing more until
II o'clock next day.
my first recollection was being in the
court room, and saying: who cut me
DOWN. There was terrible ringing in
my ears, like the beating Of gongs. I
recognized no one. The pain in my
back continued. Moments of uncon-
sciousness followed during several days,
and I have very little recollection Of the
journey here. Even after had been
locked up in this 7'rison for safe keeping
for long time / saw double. DR.. Sym
ington, the prison physician, looked like
two persons. was still troubled with
spells Of total forgetflness. Sometimes
it seemed I didn't know who I was. %

artificial Teeth Prehistoric Product.

DIR. Van Marter, of Rome, has pub
lislled an interesting account of the cvi-
dcnces discovered by him of prehistoric
dentistry in Italy. In the museum OF
CorneIo Tarquinills, Il city on the Medi-
tcl1anean coast, he found two specimens
OF ancient dentistry, which the Mayo: Of
that city ccrtitics were found upon the
first opening OF the buried Etrusean
tombs, and Professor Heilbig gives as
sluance that these were virgin tombs,
dating back four OF five centuries before
the Christian era In one OF the srcci-
mems the TWO superior central incisors
are bound by q D:md of very soft gold to
teeth on either side; the artificial teeth
are well carved, evidently from the tooth
Of some large animal. One other al:if-
ci;,l tooth w:ls held by the same b&nd,
but it is lost. DR.. Van Marter has in his
own possession Il skull III which the iirst
upper molar on the right side is missing,
and which shows plain marks of an
alveolar abscesS, proving conclusiNely
toothachc among the Et,uscans.

THE RICHMOND CONFERENCE.
| Matters of Interest to the Methodist Church
Considered and Decided.

In the Methodist Episcopal General
Conference last week the Manual of
Discipline by Bishop NcTyeire again
came up under motion that the Col
lege Of Bishops be requested to publish
their decisions. After considerable dis
cussion the matter went over without
action. 1t was manifest that the greater
part of the delegates are unwilling that
the Manual shall serve as q final arbiter.
A large number OF amendments have
been offered, looking to a change Of
Discipline, but so lar little disposition is
manifested to make changes. DR.. Ed
wards. Of Virginia, introduced a resolu-
ton proposing change in the order Of
divine service on the Sabbath day. An
animated debate followed. Drs. Meier
rin, Kelley, Young and others spoke
earnestly against the resolutions, which
was finally rejected.
The committee on episcopacy reported
in relation to episcopal residences that
in their opinion there should be Bishop
from each Of The great sections Of the
country.
The Rev. Dr. John Miley, fraternal
messenger from the Northern Methodist
Church, was introduced to the Confer
ence. Governor Foraker, the other
fraternal messenger from the Northern
| Church did not come
a large congregation attended Cen
tenary Church to hear addresses by the
fraternal delegates-the Rev. Mr.. Briggs,
of the Methodist Church Of Canada, and
the Rev. Dr.. Miley, Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The addresses were
all admirable, and were most attentively
heard.
The report of the committee on foreign
missions, to which was referred the reso-
luton in reference to the appointment
of q superintendent of foreign missions,
recommended non-conculrence. Adopt

The committee on church extension
recommended that the request for the
establishment of woman's department.
of church extension, for the purpose of
securing parsonages for the church, be
granted.
Mr.. Peterson, of Virginia, from the
committee on Bibles, submitted half
dozen reports in relation to changes IN
Discipline. He also submitted the re-
port of his committee in regard to the
memorial OF the Missouri Conference
asking that the word S'South' be elini-
mated from the name of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, and report
upon the resolution providing that
church members signing petitions fer
the sale of intoxicating liquor may be
dealt with as the case may require. To
thisresolution the committee recommend
non-concurrence.
The session of Thursday was consum-
ed in discussing different features of the
Manual of Discipline. 1t was resolved
to elect four new bishops on the 18th

Killed Her Betraver.

Robert Wright was shot and killed at
Elizabeth, Col, on last Wednesday, by
woman from Denver, whom he had be-
traved, and who came on morning
train from that city, accompanied by
her brother. After her arrival she went
to Wright's place Of business and asked
him to marry her. Upon his refusing
she fired three shots at him from a
Colts forty-fve caibre revolver, two of
them taking effect, one in his head and
the other in his chest, and he dropped
dead. The woman claims to be the
mother of Il fve-weeks-old illegitimate
child, of which Wright was the father.
He had often promised to marry her,
but always failed to keep his word. She
made up her mind to kill him if he again
refused to keep his promise. After the
shooting the woman and her brother en-
tered a carriage and drove to klowa,
where the former gave herself up to the
officers, but refused to give her name.

CURIOUS FACTS.

Professor Proctor says an earthquake il
simply an assurance that our globe is not
dead.
The editor of an Iowa newspaper bought
the flowers for his grave before he committed
suicide.
A 10-year-old boy of Belle Plain, Iowa, fell

CuItlvatlRE Wheat.

A correspondent of the Indiana Farmer
gives the result of ex periments in plat
of fwheat-two-fifths of an acre--sowed
as usual, but the space between the rows
sixteen inc les apart, which will be in
teresting as to the essential points which
are as follows:
The soil was high sand prairie, facing to
the northwest. The winter winds nearly
blew it all out of the ground, and when
spring opened it was in a sorry plight.
When the blades were about -four inches
long it was cultivated with hoe; then
again wien it was about knee high. It
was harvested with cradle and made
twenty five shocks of dozen bundles
each. Before it was threashed the En-
gish sparrow took the capsheayes entire
The wheat was weighed, and after adj
ding for cap sheayes, there were ten bus
hels. This in at the rate of twenty-five
bushels per acre. Not a very large yield,
says the Cultivator, but almost unprec-
edented for the quality Of the soil. There
were no iertilizers used. A heavy crop
of potatoes was taken from the plat just
before the wheat was sown. The pro
duet was thought to have been doubled
by the cultivation, the saving in the
seed much more than paying for the
cultivation. A horse can walk in space
of sixteen inches, and bull tongue
will give much better cultivation than
the hoe, which was the winters shift for
| the small area Experimental on.

New Military RessryatiOn. .

The President will soon declare by
proclamation the establishment Of a
military reservation, containing thirty
six square miles, or one township Of l&nd
surrounding Fort Custeron. the Big Horn
river in the Grow Indian reservation,
Mont. He will at the same time make
declaration of the reservation Of three
and one-half square miles Of land for the
establishment Of national cemetery
upon the site of the Custer battlefield.
Fort Custer was established in 1877, six
months after the massacre Of Clusters
command, and although not considered
strategic point was considered neces-
sary to the preservation Of peace. It has
been pretty heavily garrisoned and has
at present FIVE companies ofififantrY and
three of cavalry in its garrison. Early
in july last the war department asked
the Indian bureau for 400 square miles
of land for the Fort Custer reservation
but this request was considered exhorbit-
ant. The Indian bureau suggested that
town ship would be sufficient and the
war department insisted that It ought to
have at least sixty-four square miles.
It's desire for so large reservation was
chiefly to reduce intemperance among
the soldiers and to place whiskey sci.
leIs 50 far away that the enlisted men
would be greatly inconvenienced to get
liquor Gen. Sheridan has concluded,
however, that the township granted will
be sufficient, and the secretary Of the
interior win approve this amount. The
matter is complicated by the fact that
since the establishment of the post the
Indians have congregated near the fort,
and thirteen families have given up
tribal relations aad taken up aIlotinenss
and in this same township along the
b. Horn river 1t is stipulated that
the Indians shall remain where they are.
There isa question as 70 whether this
land, having been ceded 60 the Indians
by treaty, and being part Of the Grow
reservation, the President can, without
an act of congress, take this land from
the Indians and hand it over TO the war
department.

MIL sites.

Acting Commissioner Stocklager has
addressed the following circular letter to
the Register and Receiver at Salt Lake.
1t contains so much that is of interest to
people of this territory thai we publish
ed it,
You were instructed bv my letter IN, /"
of June %, 1885, tn call upon claimants
under Nj. f. No., 1862, made July IA, ito
furnish evidence that the tract claimed
as a mill site" is used or occupied for
mining or milling purposes as required
by R. S. U. s., Sec. 1897.
In compliance with that requirement
the attorney for the Ontario Silver Min
ing Company, applicant for patent upon
said entry has filed in this Office an
affidavit of Robert @. Chambers, dated
July, p, 1886.
Affiant alleges that he is now and has
been for many years the agent of the
claimant company. That said mill site
was located because of its situation rela
lively to said lode and with regard 70 its
future working" that company is work
Ing the load claim diligently and in the
search for mineral that will pay to ship
to the mill site to be milled, and if suffi-
cient quantity can be obtained the mill
site will be become, as with regard to
the future ii is now, an indispensable
adjunct to the mine
1t is not claimed that any improve
ments have been made or any labor
whatever performed upon the tract
claimed as mill site.
The only legitimate deduction from
the affidavit fled is that neither at the
time when application for patent was
filed in the local Office, to wit: July ID,
1884, nor at any time since up to July
/! %, 1886, was or has the land embraced
| in the survey of the mill site been either
used or occupied for either mining or
milling purposes; but that such use or
occupancy was even as late as July %

The language of the statute. as above
quoted, evidently cohtemplates the per-
formance upon the tract claimed rs q

applications for patent, of some actin the
nature Of either actual use or occupancy,
for either mining or milling purposes
and hence to issue patent upon q claim
resting solely upon the claimants inten
ton, or purpose in certain contingency
to perform such acts of use or occup

of the statute applicable to such entries

DEATH OF ARTHUR.
Expires Unexpectedly after months OF
sickness.

Ex-P President Chester Arthur died at
at his home in New York city on Thurs
dad last at a. m.
In New York city news of his death
caused great surprise. Notwithstanding
the alarming rumors as to his health
during the summer months, the supposed
improvement in his condition, noted du-
ring his stay in New London, Connecti-
cnt, and the apparent confidence express
ed by his friends who remained clese to
him, created the impression that his
health had been radically improved,
giving him the promise ofa renewed lease
of life. His disease was one affecting
the kidneys, and those nearest him had
no faith In his permanent recovery but
his sudden demise was not spoken of
He began to sink rapidly after midnight
and by 3 o'clock it was known that death
was approaching. He passed away with.
out any apparent pain. AS soon as
THE NEWS OF ARTHUR's DEATH
was made public, many flags ON public
and private buildings were placed at half
mast Arthur had lived at l23 Lexing-
ton avenue, for twenty years or more.
a stroke of cerebral apoplexy, sudden
but not wholly unexpected by the at
tending physicians, terminated his life.
The stroke came in his sleep between
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning
and he did not rally thereafter. His
death was painless, the slow going out
of burned down candle, and for hours
before it came he was UNCONSCIOUS to his
surroundings.
President Cleveland and Gov. Hill
each made proclamation in token of
respect to the memory of the deceased.
President Cleveland ordered that tie ex-
ecutive manson and the several depart
ment buildings be draped in mourning
for period of thirty days, and that on
the day of the funeral all public business
in the departments be suspended. "The
secretaries OF the war and of the navy
will cause orders to be issued for APP
propriated military and naval honors to
be rendered ON that day"
