A Trip to the MOnteZuma Hot Springs,

While on the way to California four
years ago, was invited by friend living
at Las Vegas, N. NJ. to stop off and make
him visit. did so, arriving there upon
a Friday. The next day my friend invited
me to a burro ride to the Springs and
mountains. The Springs are six miles from
Las Vegas, at the foothills of the south
east divide of the Rocky Mountains. We
reached the Springs at ten o'clock in the
morning. The ride up there Oh the burrOs
reminded ME of the two Marks in Uncle
TOMS Cabin. My feet. while riding, were
not more than six inches from the ground.
On our arrival we were met by an acquaint-
ance of my friend. He asked if we would
like to 60 and see him take bath. Noticing
that l was somewhat lame, which was
caused by the ride, and supposing that l
had the rheumatism he invited me to take
bath, but declined. Well, we went to
see him battle. The bath was a vat 4x5 feet.
His attendant. colOred man, had pre-
pared the bath by covering the bottom of
the vat with about six inches of mud. Our
friend diSrObed and crawled in and the at
tendant plastered him all over with hot
mud except his head. We waited until the
sweat rolled down his face like rain and
his eyeballs looked like marbles. l had
seen enough of that. SO we went and took
sulphur and iron bath, after which l felt
like new man.
During the afternoon we took a short
ride of a mile, up in the mountains. 1t was
slow going up and at times my feet would
drag. 1 was too big for the burrO or the
burrO was too small for me. But we reached
the mile at last and had grand sight of the

tons and revealed Himself unto them. He was
their God, and they His people When Christ
came the Jew did not lose any of the benefits his

titled to all the privileges of this kingdom,
so is every child born into the family of the

Louis Knoll, handsome little boy of II,
was brought into court this morning by his
father charged with incorrigbility. The
boy had henously and maliciously taken a
screw from baby carriage that was not in
use and hidden it, and for this deed his
father desired him to go to the reform
school for 10 years. Judge Emery lectured
the father as well as the boy and said that
it would be necessary for him to have a
more serious charge than that before he
could do SO. as the reform school was for
criminals and not for mischievous bows

Gently declared forfeited by Congress, passed
both houses yesterday. This is the end of a
long and bitter fight over the possession of
hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable
mineral and timber lands in the upper penin-
sula. Although Congress declared the lands
forfeited last winter, the roads still held claim
upon them and settlers could not secure a per-
feet title until this was relinquished. An effort
was made to add a proviso to the resolution,
stating that the states title was relinquished
solely that the actual homesteaders and none
else might perfect their titles. but this failed
to carry. As a result a considerable portion of
the lands will be gobbled by the land compa-

FOR KILLING GEORGE BYRON.
William Holiday Sentenced to Five
Years in the Penitentiary.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, this
morning, the case of VIM. Holiday, convicted
OF granddaughter in causing the death of Geo.
Byron, February 5 last was heard on the
motion for a new trial. After argument the
motion was overruled, and the defendant was
called for sentence. Mr.. Campbell Caring
ton, his counsel, made an appeal for the
accused man, calling attention to his general
good character, and said that the parties were
the best of friends, but unfortunately they
were drinking, and thus trouble grew out of
their drinking. 1t was a sad occurrence, a
friend taking the life Of a friend, and he asked
the leniency of the court
The court said that the law provided for
Imprisonment and fne-ten years and 81 900
being the maximum. 1t was evident that the
parties had been and were friends, and there
was no evidence of malice before or at the
time, excepting so far as might be inferred. 1t
was difficult in this case, under the wide mar
gin, to fix the term of sentence. This homi-
eide would not have occurred il they had not
violated the laws of manhood and became
drunk with liquor. While drunkenness was no
excuse he could take it into consideration in
imposing the sentence. The prisoner might
have been Indicted for murder, and it would
have been possible under the evidence to have
found verdict. He made the sentence five
years in the Albany penitentiary and fine of
$780,
