Horse Thieves.

Alex Sinclair furnishes u with an account
Of The recent adventure Of Dep. Sheriff
Dickcy who returned Tuesday; after weeks
absence. The story rs graphically told by
Alex is as follows:
One week ago last Friday, our p. o. was
visited by couple Of young men whose ap-
pearance and answers to civil questions were
not at all satisfactory. They were armed t.
the teeth, had one horse on which was
camp outfit, and claimed to be looking for
work. The remark was made that more
would be heard Of them which would not be
to their advantage. This prophecy proved
true on Tuesday when Deputy Sheriff Faddin
Of Bathgate, Pembina, D. T. drove up en-
quiring for just two such men and horses.
They had stolen team, top buggy and
wraps worth in all about $500 90, from Mr..
Fadden; and on their way to Ely p. o. had
killed one horse, left the buggy and were
tramping forward in good style. They stole
their way along thefiyss Hiding in the TIM,
Der. menacing settlers for grub for distance
Of so miles up the river; then they struck off
to the dog-dcns on their way to. W ashburn
on the Missouri river. Reaching that town
they sold the horse to a Mr.. Peterson for $22
and marched forward another half day to
what is called the Painted woods, where they
took breakfast and as they were IN the act
of having q $1,000 bill changed. the door
burst open and half dozen rifles and revolv-
ers covered them; "hands up" was the stern
command Of our brave Deputy Sheriff
Dickie, which they reluctantly obeyed and
their fight from justice was over. Mr., Fad.
den took them in charge and went home to
Bathgate D. T., via the y. p. Il. Il. from Bis.

When President Garfield was slow
ly dying at Elberon, and the attending
surgeons were locating the fatal bullet
in spots clear away from where, after
death, II was discovered, an electrical
apparatus was constructed by Profcs-
sor Graham Bell for the purpose of
finding the bit of lead. The failure
was ridiculed, much to the chargin of
Ben and the doctors. The discovery
has since been made that Garfield lay
on a metallic mattress, which frustrated
the electricity. Now, under the sane
ton of the New York academy of
medicine, q machine has been con-
structed and tested. The machine
consisted of battery, tolls and other
familiar telegraphic devices, but prln-
cipally of thin steel probe connected
with the wires in manner invented
by Bell. The surface of the patient
over an imbedded bullet was cocaincd,
so as to deprive II of feeling. Then
the probe was thrust in. As the end.
of the steel came within six inches of
the bullet, the surgeon with bls ear to
telephone cup heard hnmming
sound, which grew louder as the metal
was approached. The flesh was jab-
bed number of times, and the trial
was regarded as a success. Later, a
war veteran submitted to search for
bullet that had entered his chest and
remained somewhere in him for twen-
ty years. The needle hummed It's way
to the leads hiding place and II was
removed. Dr. John ii. Girdner, who
operated the instrument, said that Its
use would have saved Garflcld's life in
all probabilityt-Ncw York Sun.

On being discovered the alligator

On Wednesday last. about p. m.
Mr.. George &. Shell went to the Jail in
lieu Of JoeFrame, temporarily absent,
to carry the prisoners their dinner.
There was in the hall up stairs, John
Harris, Tom Granville, Alf Hooper
and Monroe Kimbrough; and in the

head of the stairs, which are of solid
iron and very steep, is close iron
door, three feet inside of which Is q

closed door he observed that il did not
swing back fully, and seeing the grated
door open, he suspected trouble and
drew his pistol, Smith 4 Wesson six

brough reached round from behind the
door caught his pistol, wrenched il
away from him and with both hands
threw him head-long down the iron
steps. kimbrough followed, and Shell
regained his feet at the turn in the
steps, just as kimbrough got there.
As he rose and made for the wall door
to prevent an escape, he still half dazed
remembers seeing the other three pris-
oncrs at the head of the steps looking
down ON him, and deeply interested in
his and kimbrough's movements. AS
Shell made for the door, kimbrough
jumped out the open window in the
jail and probably fell, as Shell reached
the outer, or wall door, first. lie
threw himself against the door and
was aided by Warren Wilson, but

joined by his three associates, and their
