Virginia City Chronicle: Sunday eve
ming James Smith. a cowboy from Ma
son valley, arrived in town on the hur-
ricane deck of sad-eyed mule and was
amusing crowd on c street by causing
the animal to perform numerous tricks.
Chief Of Police Henderson appeared on
the scene and ordered Henderson to
move on with his mule, and be p. d. q.
about it. too, or he would arrest both
him and the animal. Smith expressed
doubt of the chiefs ability to take the
mule into custody. The officer ap-
rroached the mild-eyed mule and reach
ed for the bride rein. Its owner quietly
remarked, "Butt him over, Ned" The
next instant the chief lay on the broad
of his back in the middle of the street
from pile-driver butt from the mules
head. He scrambled to his feet and
made another attempt, with like re-
suit, and before he regained his feet the
second time the mule and his rider were
fleeting southwark with the speed of
the wind. Later in the afternoon Smith
is said to have pulled a pistol on the
Divide Officer Sullivan attempted to
arrest him, but he merely said "Show
'em your heels, Ned" when the mules
hind legs instantly began describing &C.
centric circles in the air, which sent
everybody flying from the vicinity to
avoid being kicked to death. Smith
was finally captured after he had dis
mounted from his trained mule, and
locked up on charge of disturbing the
peace. This morning he was released
from custody by order of Justice Kehoe.
The National Park Boundary.
Washington special: The house COM
mittee on public lands has made some
changes in Mr.. Vests bill, passed by
the senate some weeks ago, to change
the boundaries of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. The bill, among other
things, extended the eastern boundary
twenty-five miles further east. Mr..
Vests purpose in this was to take into
the Park certain mountains at the head
waters of Clark's Fork and Rocky Fork
to which the game generally retires in
the summer time. There are in the
foot hills of these mountains extensive
coal beds, to which railroads have al
ready been surveyed and are in process
of construction. TO take these lands
into the Park would be to take consid-
erable private property in with it and
Of course prevent the building of rail-
roads to the mines. Toole of Montana
has therefore secured from the house
committee an amendment to the bill
reducing the extension of the boundary
SO as to exclude the coal mines at the
head waters of Clarks Fork.
