CHICAGO, July 25.-The relations between
C. Ross, the athlete and swordsman, and

was employed by Ross in Denver, and at

brunette about 20 years old, and is known
as Ida Valance. She is well educated, rich
and an orphan.
About four weeks ago Ross, Ferguson and
his wife came to Chicago and stopped at
the Centennial Hotel. Ferguson was sent
to Peoria to arrange dates and he sent his
wife to her relatives in Iowa. He claims
she did not 60 to Iowa, but returned to
Chicago and met Ross. Ferguson went on
Saturday morning to Ross room at the
Centennial Hotel. He attempted to draw
a revolver and shoot Ross, but the latter
was too quick. He seized the angry little
Englishman and tore the revolver from him.
Now, il you don't get out OF here" cried
Ross; "I'll throw you out Of that third

They s. Ducked Their Nut.o

Last Friday evening citizen passing
down Wyoming street saw full-blown
sure-thing game in full blast. 1t was the
old device of glass-case with an innocent
looking young man behind it, who appar-
emily gave away the money in the case to
all who were lucky enough to win, but who
in reality "skinned every "sucker" !"
brought to the store by his "steerers.
The citizen told the Chief OF Police OF what
he had seen, and that vigilant official i'm.
mediately began to work up case against
the enterprising owner of theglass-case and
his agents. He had everything arranged
for grand coup last night, but when he
visited the store he found that the birds
had flown, and diligent search OF the city
failed to discover their whereabouts. In
the language OF their profession, they
''ducked their NUT" evidently having dis
covered that Butte is not healthy place
Tor sure-thing operators, and that Chief of
Police Ledford is the wrong man to either
intimidate or rajole.

A Haunted Locomotive.

Northern Pacific locomotive No. $50,
which now hauls the regular daily passen.
ger train between Butte and Helena, bears
the proud distinction OF being haunted.
About year ago it was pulling tea ex-
press over the Northern Pacific and jumped
the track and fell over a steep embank-
ment, killing it's engineer and fireman.
Since that time it has been haunted by the
wraiths OF the unfortunate men, and no
earthly power seems able to drive them
away.
Night before last it was being cleaned in
the Butte roundhouse, and the two engine.
wipers who were at work upon it heard the
door of it's firebox open and shut violently
several times, although there was no living
person in the cab at the time. One OF the
wipers securely fastened the door with his
own hands, and then, with his companion,
awaited developments. They saw the
door shake violently for a moment and
then swing wide open, and after remaining
titus for moment close again with a loud
bang. Nobody was in the cab, and there
was fire in the box.
No. $50 is known on the Northern Paci-
fic as 1.-THE haunted engine

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-The statement
made in the associated press dispatches
yesterday Of N. Connell member of the
Greedy expedition were to-day shown to
Julius Fredericks member OF the expedi
ton who is now engaged in business here.
The statements OF Connell were to the effect
that it was doubtful if the American flag
was really placed further north than the
pected OF stealing food; that Henry and
DR.. Pavy were falsely accused Of
doing SO and that Greely caused
Henry to be shot for an offence
which he condoned in others. To a re-.
porter OF the Journal Sergeant Fredericks
said, with some warmth: ''These state
ments are almost entirely false. I myself
saw Henry stealing food on three different
occasions, and the party demanded his life
on three different occasions before Greely
would allow it to be taken. Henry was a
prisoner during the winter because Of his
thefts. and a guard was taken away from
him only when SO many men had died that
it was impossible to guard him. am sat

ANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2s, 1885
The Wonderful Soda Springs.

DR.. Fowler came down from the Idaho
Soda Springs last evening. says the Salt
Lake Tribune OF Saturday. He had been
there eight days studying the wonders OF
that region, ana!yzing the water and inves-
tigating the possibility of bottling AMI
shipping the same. The Doctor went up
with Mr.. Shelby, of the Union Pacific, and
they were joined there by the chemist OF the
company, Professor Hughes, formerly q
Professor of Harvard. They carried along
q bottling machine. and full apparatus for
making all needed experiments. The Doc
tor is enthusiastic in admiration OF what
he found. The Soda Springs, he believes,
have no equals on earth. Another spring
lacks but one ingredicnt-a simple one,
easily supplied-of being perfect Appol-
linaris spring. There is another spring
which is 80 heavy in iron that when bot
tied the iron is precipitated, but an expos
ure to light and air restores it to its nor
NAL condition: there are springs that act
upon almost every organ OF the body, and
he believes that in a radious OF four or five
miles around there are four or five thous-
and springs, some Of which are most WON
derful. The soda and the Appollinaris
waters were easily bottled, and the Doctor
brought many bottles away; the iron
spring is easily bottled, but the iron is
until the bottles are un-
corked.
These are the waters described in yester-
days MINER, and which will soon be bot
tied and placed upon the market.

however, usually expressed with a reserva-
ton looking to to the possibility OF i'm

bills, except the general deficiency and fort.
ification bills have passed both Houses
and to those two the Senate will de-
vote its earliest attention. The River

still linger in conference and the Sun.
dry bill will doubtless be made subject
for conference tomorrow. All the other
appropriation bills have gone to the Presl-
dent. Mr.. Dolph, by order OF the Com
mittee on Coast Defences, will offer an
amendment appropriating $4,000, 600 Tor
the construction OF Notifications and other
works Of coast defence in accordance with
the recommendations OF the Board OF For
ti6cations and other Defences, and Mr..
Hawley, by order OF the same committee,
expects to propose as amendments two

his daughters disappearance. Price
searched through the prerinct all day and
finally found the couple. He ascertained
thst ehey were married and then sent for
Mr.. Thompson.
When the father appeared at the house
the young couple were summoned from their
room to the parlor. Mr.. Thompson tried
to strike Coats, who thereupon drew mar
riage certificate from his pocket. Even this
did not satisfy the irate father, but the de-
tective calmed him and took the party to
the station house. Then Price introduced
the coupl. as Mr.. rnd Mrs. Goats, where
upon Mr.. Thompson burst out into tears.
The young wife then asked her fathers for
giveness, and in short time he freely for

The Inspectors say they find the Daily
News paid him nearly 81, 900 more from
November 1884 to November 1885 tran
the amount which he turned over to he
Government. They aliege that during tho
same eriod the Western News Company
paid him about $4,000 more than lie re-
turned to Washington. They have to still
inspect the accounts of all other ,rss-
papers which had papers mailed during
Bottoms incumbency. Bolton was ;t,-

Rad Little BOYS.

Last night Chief Ledford and his vigilant
squad arrested and locked up in the City
Prison about dozen little boys who have
been in the habit OF prowling the streets at
unreasonable hours. These youngsters
range in age from six to sixteen years, and
have made practice OF )oafing all night in
gambling houses, concert halls and other
nocturnal resorts, and it is believed that Il
majority OF them have parents who fondly
imagined that their boys were enjoying
balmy sleep beneath the parental rooftree.
The 'skids" were arrested last night to
give their parents an opportunity OF releas-
ing them this morning and applying whole
some castigation with the rod.
