A NOTED sw1NDLER CAPTURED.
How Samuel Labley Succeeded in "RAis-
 ing the Wiud,"


 Samuel Labley, a noted swindler, has been captured in New York by Inspector Byrne's detectives, and is now awaiting trial on an old indictment for larcency. Lablcy's method was to assume the garb of 2 priest and buy ticles, offering in payment check purport- ing to be drawn by his father, the names of various prominent men having been used by him in this connection. The dealer would generally decline to accept the check without would offer to go with clerk to get the check certified. On arriving at the bank he would manage to certify the check himself while the clerks attention was diverted. The check would then be accepted in payment. Sometimes Labley would vary the pro- gramme by asking that clerk be sent with him to his fathers office, where check was to be procured.
 The clerk would remain in the cab while he went into the office of some leading mer- chant whose son he had represented himself to be. Presently Labley would come out with check, which was accepted and which afterwards proved to be bogus. Labley has operated in New York, Washington, Troy and elsewhere, and lately has been in criminal partnership with former Jesuit student, named Clark, whom he met in jail at Kingston, Ont, fin 1881, where Lab)ey was doing time for some crime. Labley married Montreal girl in 1888 and his wife went to New York to live with her father, who Is a anitor. It was by watching her that the detectives were able to catch Lab1ey, who was incautious enough to visit her. Labley's father was horse thief, known to the New York police years ago.

PROSPECTED WITH A GOAT.
How the Famous Rams Horn Col
 Mine Was Discovered.

How the Famous Rams Horn Gold
 Mine Was Discovered.
 Years ago, when Clayton County, Idaho, was overrun with Indians, says the Omaha Bee, SO hostile that white men stayed away, man mounted on 8 large bay horse passed through the country, and reaching Salmon City, told of camping one night on a creek where he saw indications of gold.
 Although nearly hundred miles away, the country was then so little known, and miners were so eager for "placers" that prospecting party was soon on the way thither. All they knew about the place was what the unknown man with ebay horse" had told them, and the description was so plain that they found no trouble in going to the spot, outside of the hard climbing over hills, through deep gorges and the fording of the river. Once there they named the creek and gulch Bay Horse, but found no placer gold to pay for their trouble, but there were lots of such game as deer, bear, goats and sheep.
 Climbing to the top of mountain skirting the creek mountain sheep was started up, and, running close to the precipice, was pierced by ball from the unerring aim of rifle and he fell far below. The hunter soon made his way down to the animal and was rewarded not only by finding a prize of excellent venison, but the sheep had struck and knocked off some galena ore with his horns.
 The animal had not only uncovered some of the riches of this mountain, but his horns and the incident suggest ed the name for the great Rams Horn Mine, which has since yielded millions in silver, gold and lead.

Em MESSAGE OF THx HORN.

know the hush of misty morning woods, Tho dim green aisles, the night-damp on
 the grass, All dew-impearled the spiders viscious lure Set to enton where Summer idlers pass. Across the path arc writ in shadow-runes The lore of leaves, the tales of waving trees, The secrets told by errant, gossip winds, The whispered wisdom brought across the seas. It seems the time half way 'twi1t wake and
 sleep;
 The glamor of the night clings to the day, And OCT the wood broods yet the drowse of
 dreams,
 AS mem'ry elings to love that's passed
 away. Not yet is woke the wood to care and pain, And slumber still gaunt grief and cruel
 strife Of orphaned nestlings and of nests bereft, And tiny tragedies of insect life. Ahl would my heart, that thou couldst learn
 to heed
 The message told in this deep, silent peace The stately calm of this sweet Summer morn From vain regret, might yield thee, then,
 surcease.

ssIt's your rule to charge dollar fua ten minutes, is it?"
 1It is."
 "Well, I have also . rule. It is my rule to pay pro rata in such cases. lowe you about six-eights of cent, but as I don't want to be small in business transactions of this sort I'll make it 8 cent. Here's your money"
 "I demand dollar, sirl"
 "Wen, you won't get it. If our rules clash we'd better go to law about it."
 "So we will I'll have you arrested within an hourl"
 "Very good. I'll be at the hotel."
 He kept his word. It wasn't an hour before constable came and walked me over to the office of justice of the peace to answer to the charge of trying to cheat, swindle, defraud, embezzle, and so forth, one John Doe out of the sum of one dollar, lawful money, and so on. The plaintiff had a lawyer, but I answered for the defendant. I ad- mitted getting the horse, and of being ten minutes overtime, and then he put in the plea that he had charged me ac- cording to an established rule.
 "How long have you had that rule ?" asked his honor.
 "Ten years."
 ssHave you any rule, defendant2"
 ssI have. I have had rule for over forty years. rendered him pro rata on the time."
 "Well, don't see why you haven't the same right to establish rule as the plaintiff. If you had rule not to pay at all it could not hold good in law, but as your rule seems to be to pay what is fair and reasonable I shall en- certain it."
 "But, your Honor," protested the plaintiffs lawyer, "this rule was es- tabished by a man doing 8 large busi- ness with the public."
 "That IS true, but every individual can establish certain rule if he cares to. One is as good as another. He was very liberal in offering whole cent"
 The plaintiff asked me to step around behind tannery, where we could talk confdentially, and when we were alone he showed me a deadly weapon called 8 revolver, and dirk knife, and pair of cast-iron knuckles, and he asked me to feel of the muscle of his arm, and he flung down his hat and jumped on it and said:
 "Wretched wretch! You have signed your own death warrant! From this hour banker for your hearts blood, and I'll never, never rest until I have it! You are certainly doomed as if lashed to loaded cannon!" told him l was sorry, but it was just my way, and that I hoped he wouldn't have another kicker for 100 years, but he was still cutting the air with the dirk knife as l walked away, and don't suppose he cooled off for g whole week.
