OUTRAGE BY DISGUISED MEN.

NEW MARTINsVILLE, w. Va, August 1.
Tuesday night mob of disguised men
numbering about fifteen or eighteen went
to the house of William Brown, farmer
on Fishing creek, battered in the door
with stick of cordwood and after tying
Mrs. Brown. her husband and the child
rem, proceeded to subject the house to a
thorough search presumably for stolen
goods. Nothing of the sort was found and

in dinner pot and smeared the heads of
Mr.. Brown and his wife. Mrs. Brown was
compelled to have her head shaved before
the tar could be gotten off. Five warrants
have been issued, and very prominent peo-
ole are said to be implicated.

INDIANS WON'T SIGN

BISMARCK, y. D., August 1.-The COM
missioners have had their councils with
the Indians. John Grass has been the only
speaker but he has evidently voiced the
minds of all. He has said repeatedly that
he saw no inducements in this years
bill to change from his opposition of last
year. There has not as yet been single
public expression favorable TO the bill by
any Of the Indians. 1t is, however. be-
lieved that the Yanktonians are favorable,
but thus far feel bound by the mutual
agreement made before the arrival of the
commissioners to act as unit. This COM
bination can not last much longer. John
Grass and Gall, it is thought will event.
ualy sign This would insure success
There has been no apparent change today.

Discovered In Dreams.

As stood on the sidewalk today with 9
friend who was q master mechanic, watch
Ing blacksmith at work on portable forge
my friend said to me: THAT man remind:
me of the story that is told about the art oil
welding iron. 1t is said that it is only within
few hundred years or so that blacksmiths
have been able to weld two pieces of iron to-
gether with any success. Moreover, it is said
that the way to do this was discovered in q
dream.
THE tradition Is that slumbering black
smith had, in dream, an interview with the
devil. and seeing In it q great business oppor-
tunity, besought his satanic majesty to in
form him how two pieces Of iron could be
solidly welded together. Satan was in an
accommodating mood, and said something
which sounded to the blacksmith like Send
it.
"Just then the blacksmith unfortunately
awoke before he could ask him to repeat.
For a long time after that he was greatly
puzzled at his dream and at the words Send
it, which seemed to have no meaning. AT
last be concluded that what the devil said
must have been, not Send it, but Sand it.
Accordingly he tried the experiment Of rub
bling the hot iron in sand before welding it,
and, to his unspeakable delight, he found
that tho pieces were Joined in homogeneous
mass He had discovered secret which has
played such a part in the mechanical arts
that 1t has probably altered the whole course
of human progress.
"That reminds me that the method OF max
ing one pulley turn another pulley at dis
,nce, in the opposite direction, was also
discovered In q dream. For ages the ingenu-
ity of mechanics was unequal to the task of
doing this At last q mechanic dreamed that
this could be done by twisting the belt, and
the device has been in use ever since."-
