The Succcssfut Experiment OF an
EUKIueer TO Discover n 1Ehhet.
The engineer at one of the kaoiin
works near Brsndywine Summit, Pa, has
lately been much annoyed by the theft
OF who'd from the engine house woodpile
A few days ago he resolved upon an orlgi.
nal method OF detecting the guilty per-
son, and forthwith loaded.a hollow cord
wood stick with powder.
In course of time thestiok disappeared,
aud shortly sfterw wards terrific explo.
sion in shanty occupied by one of the
Italians employed at the works startled
the neighborhood. An investigation dis
closed the fact that the stove in the
shsnty had been blown up and the in.
terror of the room badly damaged, while
the Italian himself had lost finger and
was otherwise injured, although not sc.
yiously. The woodpile has not been dis
turbed since, but the engineer was sus
pended for his experiment.

TROUBLE is anticipated in Okla
homa between the cowboys and the
settlers. The latter have filed on
claims to which they say the cowboys
have no rightful claim, having violated
the law by going upon the land before
April 22d. The COW punchers are said
20 be organizing for the purpose of
showing the other fellows what is what.
There may be some bloody work, but
IN the end the honest settlers will win,
as they ought to do. The wild and
wOoily methods of the cowboy can't
thrive in civilized communities. Their
taking possession all over Oklahoma
of valuable homesteads is sham and
a fraud. They are in most cases only
the tools of the cattle men or others,
who use them to get possession of the
best parts of the territory. Everyone
knows that they do not mean to settle
down to the sober life of an honest set
tier, and cultivate the soil for living.
The home of a cowboy is in the saddle.
He may try his brutal and bulldozing
tactics on the unsophisticated settler,
but when Uncle Sam takes hand in
the dispute, the result can no longer
be in doubt. The bully will have to
go.
