that the pair were engaged to he married.
For a while matters went very smoothly
with the new firm. and great deal of mon
ey was made with futures" Then came
reverses and money began to to take wings,
owing TO heavy losses.
This was very displeasing to Miss Lotta,
who is very frugal little lady. But loss of
money was not her only trouble. A charm
ing lady in this place had attracted the at
tracted the attention of Randall, who was
widower, and the actress discovered that he
was paying more attention to his new flame
than an engaged man should.
Lotta, melted il is rumored, by jealousy
and angered by the loss Of a very large sum
of money which had been lost In the busi-
ness Of the firm Of Randall & Crabtree,
opened fire on Randall.
The little actress did not begin as woman
generally do, by scolding her alleged be-
trothed She took more prudent course
and invoked the aid of the law.
She sued Randall for about S20, 900 claim
ing II as due her from the business as trans
acted up TO that time under the condition OF
the contracts of the firm as signed by both at
the time the partnership was begun.
James NJ. Morton, of this city was attor-
ney for Lolita, and ex-Mayor Bragley for
Randall The suit was finally got into the
Chancery Court, with Simon Borden, of
Fall River, as Master. He brought IN re-
Fort that Sl2 600 or $4,000 was due Lotta.
This was disputed by Randalrs attorney,
and the case was carried to the Supreme
Court. which sustained the rendering Of the
Master in Chancery.
The matter was again disputed, and was,
through Randalfs lawyer, got into equity
and has since been assigned for trial several
times. Still, nothing ever came of 1t. II
looked very much as though zone was afraid
and the other didn't dare"
Thus matters went on from time to time
until Lotta played an engagement last
week.
Previous 10 the performance Lotta visited
Randal's house. The latter is now married
10 the lady who was Lotta's rival. II is said
that the little actress was greatly excited
during her visit, but just what was said Is
not known.
The result was that an understanding was
effected, and settlement agreed upon on
private terms.
Randall, whose wife is reported to have
been the cause of the dissolution of the firm
of Randall & Crabtree. and of the estrange-
ment of Randall and Lotta, lives in an ele-
giant mansion on Prospect street.
Randall has recently made the assertion
that Lotta is not over thrty-fve years of
age.

SUICIDE OF A HORSE.
Strange Actions OF an Animal that Evil
IDENTIFY Wanted to Die.

There was a 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
Rainwater's store called for him but as he
was busy at the time and could not leave
the store room conveniently. he request
ed a negro man who was in the store to
90 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 TO the
ground between the shafts. Soon there.
after the straps and traces were loosened
and she let out OF the buggy, whereupon
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 hfeless. The
horse belonged to nero near, who had
traded for her only a few days before.

THE OTERC BROS.
And Their Experience with wipchesters
and topppr Mines,

and Their Experience with WiDchester RS
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
Jail in New Mexico, and but a 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 grad
uate of the st. Louis University and his
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 a deed Of this mine from
the Spanish Government to his uncle. In
vestlgation showed that the mine was Just
about to be sold at Sherlff's sale and that
Boston parties, including George William
Ballou. Steve Elkins 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 a 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 in the land grant ot the Raston
parties.
Then followed TWO or three years of liti-

Guilty in driving out the Boston parties, who
showed little disposition to fight and the
Otero boys commenced working the mine
alone, and continued until they were called
by an order of the court 10 Santa Fe served
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
their defense
One of the attorneys for the prosecution
asked the question: "What conversation
did you have with your lawyers previous to
taking possession of the mine?"
The defense refused to answer on the
ground that the question was not admissible
"a claim that would have been unoues-
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 80 days, fined
them each $3.50 and costs and debarred the
lawyers from practice.
The contest over the mine is still In the
supreme court of New Mexico and will con-
tinue to be the cause of very bitter personal
feeling and very peculiar legal warfare

SLEEP AND HER COUSIN DEATH.
The Relationship Between the Two

The relationship between sleep, the

but there are intermediate connections.
grades of dissolution as of development
Among these the similar states OF trance
and hibernatlon are worthy of special
notice. For sleep and for trance, one
cause, the exhaustion chiefly of the ner.
: matter, but more or less of every
organ and tissue, is assienabe. The
hysterical stupor is the sleep of nerve
centers worn out witn the assault and
conflict of storm reflex action. Healthy
'leep is the rest of physical elements
weaned with the same strain applied
more gradually.
Cases have been recorded in which
s s,mnolence, continuing for days without
cessation, has resembed trance in its
duration, while preserving all the ordi-
nary features of natural rleep. Various
facts support us in associating the hiber
nation of animals with the same train of
organic or functional changes as the
other unconscious states which we have
been considering. 1t comes like a habit
it has, one may say, annual return; its
apparent cause is the oppressi n of ex

structure or habits, are subject to great
periodic variations of temperature
Vital tissue is exhausted and function is
IN part suspended, probably because the
numbness Of cold has taken upon the
radicles of the outer circulation, and Of
that of the brain surface which is con-
nected with it by numerous anastomoses
In such case anamia would seem to be
the cause OF the winter sleep. as there is
evidence to show that it is also the cause
OF that temporary starvation of brain
which lulls without arresting its action,
in the natural repose of each night.

A gentleman just returned from the West
relates an amusing experience. While in
Montana he joined surveying party and
with it started out for trip across portion
of the plains, leading them some distance
from civilization. Towards noon. when out
of sight of any habitation, the party noticed
a storm approaching. The black clouds
were chasing one another across the sky
with a 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 n 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
ing and stow 1t away where 1t would be kept
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 and the Jolly
crowd rushed back to the wagon and tumb-

All shrank back. and the boldest of the
party, abandoning the shelter, ran TO seize
The 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 TO crawl

Then five figures practiced the Highland

on the lonely plains with only the elements
