ON DISPUTED GROUND.
Residents In shantytown Give thei
Version of the Late Trouble.

Hesidents IN Shantyt0wu Give their
Version of the Late Trouble.
The REVIEW asah lready given
two accounts of the trouble between
the Northern Pacific railroad en-
ployes and residents of Shanty-
town last Thursday morning as
furnished by Officer Barlow and
Mr.. Mcdonald, who led the railroad
forces.
Now come ID. l.. Thatcher and j..
l.. Wood, who reside in the locality
where the trouble occurred, and give
another account of the affair. These
gentlemen called at the REVIEW
office Saturday evening and asked
that their version of the matter be
published, but owing to the crowded
conditions of the columns of the
Sunday issue it could not be used at
that time.
1--WE wish to correct some of the
statements made TO the REVIEW by
Mcdonald" said Mr.. Thatcher.
"His account of the trouble is to-
tally incorrect. He says he was met
by an armed force of lawless squat
ters, when the truth of the matter
Is that there was but one man on
the ground when Mcdonald and his
men arrived, and he held them at
bay for several minutes, when he
was reinforced by two others.
'The railroad men had their ropes
and tackle planted in front of the
house, all ready to pull 1t down be-
fore they We're discovered. Then
one one of our men turned up with
a six shooter, and when the men
came up to the fence he told them
not to come inside, and levelcd the
pistol at McDonald's head to make
him keep back, which he did. He
got good natured all of sudden and
wanted to talk the matter over.
Presently another one of our men
arrived with n shotgun, which was
also leveled at the leaders of the
party. The man with the pistol
fired II into the air for the purpose
of attracting attention, and in a
short time thereafter several more of
our men arrived. | then stepped
forward and told the boys to come
on and we would capture the lead
ers, but they got back in hurry
when said this.
"McDonald's statement about be-
ing shot at in that neighbOrhoOd at
2 o'clock Friday morning is totally
false. He said he saw several men
on guard at the time, and that they
ran when he approached them. We
don't run up our way, and besides,
we only keep one man on guard at
night. We keep a guard to warn us
of approaching danger, and signal
from him would summon n large
number of men ut any hour of the
night.
We have consulted good lawyers
concerning our rights on this land,
and they advise us TO stay, and we
are going to do so. We have re-
peatedly told the representatives of
the railroad company that If they
would show us any papers as evil
dence of their legal right to the
land we would move away peace
ably. We are ready to do this at
any time, as we are law-abiding
citizens, but until they do show us
their authority they had better not
bother US, and if they do they must
take the consequences.
"Whenever any of the railroad
men have come up to us we have
treated them courteously, but they
must not attempt to infringe on our
rights
"There are several buildings in
course of erection on the land" said
Mr.. Wood, "and we mean to keep
right on building. We have asked

FLAG OF THE REPUBLIC.
The Imperial Crown Is Replaced by
Phrygian Cap.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily News says: "rhe
republican council at Rio de Janeiro de
cided few months ago that the ami
versary of the French revolution was
the most appropriate occasion ON which
to proclaim the republic. The leaders of
the party were SO confident of success
that they ordered number of republic
can flags to be made in this city. The
new flag of the imperial crown is re-
placed by Phrygian cap. Among the
causes that led to the revolution were the
tyrannical measures to which the govern.
ment resorted in order to secure return

OF this gift as one of the noble,t acts Of q
truly good life and expressed the belief
that Colonel Jenkins, whom he had
never met, would look upon it as the
grandest single thing he ever did. This

Charles E. Dove, the press representa-

the story of how George wessells once
created a profound sensation in Broad

mob of Partisan revOlutiOnists. The scene
is made dreadfully realistic by the use OF
a wax head said tn have been made by -
very fine artist i'm close imitation of the
head of the duchesse de Lambelle. the la

Stone, the manager of the play. had just re-

ness of il when wesselils entered. I'm

hair and leaning over the sill. held the
head aloft and giving a tragic accent to
his tremendous voice. shouted:
"Aha! am revenged at last!'
} OF course this was intended only for Mr..
Burt; Vessels had no thought Of the
pulsive nonsense. But il stirred the street

Justice of the Peace Kehoe has re-

amusing incident, which for a time re-
heved the mOnOtOny of life at that Sc

While wandering about in the vicin-
ity of ROckbOund Lake, accompanied
by boy, the Judge was struck on the
leg by the fangs of a large rattlesnake.
The boy witnessed the snake strike the
Judges leg, and ran back to the hotel
at Rubicon and gave the alarm.
A rescue party was hurriedly organ
lied by the guests. The party, armed
at least with a barrel Of whisky in
TASKS, decanters and bottles, hastened
in the direction Of the spot where the
Judge had been bitten by the venom
Gus reptile. The members of the res
cue party had not proceeded far on
their humane mission when they OBJ
served the Judge approaching

intensified to their alarmed magma
ton. A grand rush was made for the
Judge, and a hundred TASKS were in
stantly uncOrked, the odOr of whisky
supplanting that of fragrant pines,
frs and wild flowers each owner of a
flask being eager to have the Judge
first partake of its contents, and others
endeavoring to strip his trousers off to
apply healing ointment to the wound.
The Judge was finally able to ex-
plain that he had been struck on the
leg by a RATHER, and, while indicating
with his finger the spot where the rep
tiles poisonous fangs struck, remarked
that it was his wooden leg that had
been bitten, and therefore the wound
would not prove serious. The Judge
afterward killed the snake and exhib-
tied the end of the tail as a trophy,

as a new thing, but it is not. Fully
thirty years ago, at a certain Custom
House on the American border, one of
the local appraisers was one day found
dead In q warehouse. The man who
made the discovery covered the body
with a tarpaulin and then started to
bre K the news to the widow. He found
her seated on the Veranda, saluted her,
nd asked if Dan was home. She re-
piled in the negative, and he sat down
and talked about the weather and other
matters for quarter of an hour befOze
saying
"Grs. Philbrick, you and the COIIec,
tors wife are friends, are you not ?"
ooh, yes, the best of friends"
And through her you could infu.
ence the Collector ?"
81 don't know about that.
"But if there should be a vacancy
among the appraisers would you be
willing to speak a good word for me ?"
"Why, yes, I'm sure 1 would"
eff, for instance, Dan should resign,
could I count on your kind efforts ?"
ooh, certainly"
He returned to the warehouse, redis-
covered the body, gave the alarm, and
had it sent home Three hours later
he called to offer his services as one of
the dead watch, and as he took the sor-
rowing widow by the hand he said:
Poor Dan! Cut down In the prime
of life, and that without warning. Let
me assure you of my heartfelt sym
pathy, and please don't forget to pull
that wire for me when the Collectors
wife comes over to extend her sympa-
thies. All! how true it is that life
hangs 10y brittle thread"
And it is a matter of record that he
received the appointment.
