MONTANA YIGlLANTES,

Tree That in It's Day Bore the Weight
of Fourteen Hanged Men.
One hears grues0me tales from "Old
Timers OF former proceedings in Helena,
where the sun to-day is so bright that it is
difficult to realize these dark scenes were
ever enacted. Near Broadway stood the
tree that in its day bore the weight of four
teen hanged men. Not all that grim harvest
at once, but as an old-tiner said, "a good
many times passed by that tree and saw a
man dangling from it," Finally, one of the
citizens wanted to build house near the
spot, and cut down what was known as
"hangman's tree" One hears that in the
winter of SO ga the Vigilantes went through

picked up ell that was necessary to know

and this was reported to the driver of the
stage. Meanwhile the unsuspecting miners

HER WILL DEFEATED HIM.

A theatrical Man Tells a Story OF Hum an
Nature.
A theatrical man tells the following story
He did not attempt to vouch for its truth, so
the writer does not, merely giving it here for
what it Is worth as an illustration of a
woman's will. The man who told the story
also disclosed the names of those about
whom it is related, but owing to the doubt
about the absolute veracity of the tale it
would not be fair to mention the names.
Suffice it to say that one was an actor and
the other an actress, and both very well
known to the public We call the actor Y,
because that is about as far as one can get
from his name, and the actress Miss A,
because her name is nothing like that either.
Miss A, besides being perhaps the most
prominent character in the play, was also
regulated Mr.. Us salary.
Now y had long cOntended that his
salary was not one-half what it should be,
and Miss A. declared as firmly that this
was neither here nor there. for the salary
would remain unchanged. This condition
of affairs did not make the two love each
other as good Christians are expected to do
Such scenes as these (behind the flies of
course) became frequent: a
when are you going to raise my salary?"
"Never."
"All right, then. l leave you tomorrow"
Every well. Why don't your"
Or the war might be varied to this form:
Are you going TO raise my salary this
week."
mo"
Next week2"
"No."
"When?"
"Never."
That determined never was disagree
able check to argument Finally Y
worked out sub-plot in the play. In one
act he, the noble hero, carried Miss A
from top story to the ground down lad
der. One night when this scene came on he
stepped upon the first round of the ladder as
usual holding in his arms his fair burden.
But instead of coming down quickly as
usual. as vigorous, inyincible hero should,
lie stopped.
Now" he whispered in her ear, "raise
my salary"
"Never."
"Raise my salary or drop YOU"
Here was crisis. Two things were in
danger..the success of the scene and the
actress bones.
Raise my salary or 1 drop you" The
house" was waiting. Miss A closed
her eyes.
'.Never!" she said, and he carried her
safely down the ladder.-N. Y. Tribune

A Mexican Execution.

An execution in Mexico is always public
affair, and next to a bull-fght is the best
drawing attraction that can be gotten up in
the republic Juan Zambora, prominent
merchant Of Mexico, now in this city, wit
messed the recent execution in the City of
Mexico of Bruno Labastida, member of
the Liberal Guard, for the killing of Lieu
tenant Calapiz, on August 18th. Senior Fam
bora states that fully &c. 600 people witnessed
the execution, which took place on the San
Laz0r0 plains. The entire garrison of the
City of Mexico was present, and the soldiers
were formed in hollow square around the
place of execution.
The ceremony attending the solemn event
was opened at 6 o'clock in the morning by
the appearance of General Pablo Portu, who,
accompanied by his staff, rode through the
crowd to a place near the prisoner. The
General then proclaimed in loud voice that
any one who attempted to prevent the SEN
tence OF death from being carried out would
be punished by penalty of five years I'M
prisonment. The priests then administered
spiritual consolation to the condemned man,
who was led to mound upon which he
silently stood while the soldiers who had
been detailed to carry out the sentence Of
death were formed in line. The prisoner
was then ordered to kneel. He obeyed, and
the order to fire was given. After the re-
port from the rifles had died away the ply
Sicians made an examination of tile body
aud pronounced life not yet extinct. The
tir0 dc gracia was then shot into his head.
and Labastida was dead.-St Louis Post,

The Honolulu Bulletin styles Hogs team

ers."
Jack Fogarty has affixed his signature to
a contract to play with Firms San Jose
team.
Bill Smalley. the Haywards boy, is said to
be martyr to that distressing complaint,
dyspepsia.
1t is very doubtful if the California League
circuit will be extended beyond four cities
next season.
Sonny Hoffman, Britain and Dextraze, OF
the Pacific Northwest League, are now play
with the Fresnos.
Ed Stapleton, Hank Reitz, Bill Good
enough and Buck Holiday have gone to
San Diego to play with that team in the
winter series Of the Southern California
League.
Willie Walter Yeach is again in clover.
Yeach is now Inspector Of the Folsom
Water Works, an easy but trustworthy
position, and to which is attached lucra-
tive salary.
Fogarty's team of Eastern stars must feel
just little chagrined at being defeated
twice in four games by two teams of minor
league. In each case the lesser local lights
outbatted the stars two to one.
"A strictly amateur league Is now being
formed, and will include the local E. and O.
T. team, the Olympics, the Bohemians, the
army officers of the Preside, the Berkeley
Universitys and the Oakland Athenians.
Henry Harris succession to the manage
ment Of the Frisco team is hailed with great
pleasure by the cranks. Harris is deseryedIy
one OF the most popular managers with his
players and the patrons of the game in the
country.
From correspondents in England and
Australia Mr.. A. G. Spalding, the Chicago
magnate, is assured that base. ball Is boom
ing in both those countries, and an inter-
national series OF games in 1898 is one of the
probabilities.
In the recent series OF games between tile
Fresnos and the Aliens both pitchers, Baltz
and Howell, did exceptional work. Each
pitched two games, Baltz allowing only nine
hits to be secured off him in both, and
struck out thirty men. Little Howell al
lowed but eight hits off his delivery and re-
tired twenty-0ne batsmen ON strikes in the
two games. Both these promising pitchers
should be looked after by the local man
ayers.
