Three Rogues Killed.

A few days ago three prisoners es-
capped from the Del Nortc Jail in very
clever manner and got out of town safely.
Sheriff Hooker, Deputy Sheriff Renner
and several others left Saturday evening
TO follow the trail. About daylight Sun
day morning Renner discovered their
camping place,
He crawlcd on his hands and knees until
he was within hailing distance of the
camp, when he discovered that McCann
was standing guard, and was armed with
the revolver taken from him in the strug-
gle in the jail Thursday night. Standing
up so as to be seen, he called out:
"Throw up your hands" !"
McCann fired three shots at him for an
answer. one of which entered his clothing
Renncr was armed with rifle. which he
raised and, taking quick aim, fired The
ball sped true to its mark, and John Me
Cam fcll-dead.
The four shots awoke Gallagher and
Harris, who jumped to their feet and COM
menced to run up the rough and narrow
canon, closely pursued by the courageous
deputy sheriff, who called upon them sew
eral times to halt or he would shoot. They
refused to heed his command, MS they were
better runners than he and were fast put
stripping him, so he raised his rife on the
run and fired two more shots, killing both
Gallagher and Harris instantly in their
tracks. Three shots only were fired, and
three tough characters were killed.

A GOOD SEASON FOR PRosPEo.
TORS.

Minlrg Industry. y
Owing to the unusually heavy fail OF snow
In the mountains In most regions In the
Western states and territories, this sea-
son will be good one for prospecting,
particularly for gold, There will be
water In the canons and gulches OF oil the
great mountain ranges until late In the
summer. This will greatly facilitate the
operations Of the prospectors. Where
canons or ravines have crossed mineral
veins containing gold, in their course
down mountain slopes moro or less gold
will be found in the gravel Though only
few fine "colors" may be found In pan
of gravel, they tell the prospector that it
Is worth while for him to ascend the
mountain before him and thoroughly ex-
anime every quartz vein that crops out
upon 1t.
When prospect has thus been obtained
the miner will not stop at u single pan Of
gravel; he will find out about the average
at the point where he obtained his first
color, then ascending the canon he will
prospect at other places. He will caro-
fully note the amount Of gold found ut
each point, and when he comes TO where
tho gold disappears or greatly decreases,
he may be assured that he has passed u
vein containing gold. The vein which has
sent down the gold may not crop out;
may be what is called "blind LEDGE" in
which case the miner must go back down
the canon and feel his way carefully up
ward with the prospecting pau. When
he comes TO point where his gold-or the
greater part of it-suddcnly gives out, he
may 'go ashore" mud search for his blind
ledge. This calls for more line work In
which the pan and the horn will be OF
much use.
AS there will this spring and summer
be water with which to prospect in many
places where in ordinary seasons no
water is found within miles, II is likely
that gold placers will be discovered on
many benches and Hats and in not few
ravines where heretofore the presence of
the metal, has not even been suspected:
and the finding OF the surface gold will in
some cases lead TO the iinding OF the veins
whence it came.
Also men may this season venture iuto
desert regions that they have not here-
tofore been able to explore; for it will be
safe to strike across broad belts of desert
to mountain ranges on which there is 10
be seen banks OF snow.
Although nearly the whole country
from the Missouri River to the crest of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains has been
ovcrrun and explored in a general way
as TO coniiguration and prevailing Geolog
ical characteristics, there still remain vast
areas that have never yet been rrospec,ed
by experienced miners In places, too,
the torrents which have during the pres
cni winter rushed down many great can
ons and swept them clear to the bedrock,
will leave large lines Of strata open to
the inspection OF the prospccior. Besides
the work thus done by Hoods, we have
that donc by hundreds OF landsli,lcs,
many OF which have laid bare the whole
faces of huge mountains. All these
things considered, it may truthfully DO
said that this will be u grand year for
our Western prospcc,ors.

A Nebraska Lynehlng.

HASTINGS, Neb.. March l5.-A hor
rible murder and lynching occurred at 80
O'Clock this afternoon In tho quiet little
town of Bromfeld, u few miles northeast
Of Hastings, 1t is village of about 200
inhabitants.
At the hour Indicated A. ]. Sutton, o
bachelor living with his sister as house
keeper, on q farm short distance from
Bromfeld, suddenly appeared ut the butch
er shop OF W. w. Lewis, one Of the lead :
ing and most respected citizens of tho
village, who was engaged at tho time In
reading newspaper and totally uncon-
scious Of danger. Addressing Lewis thus,
"You arc tho man have been looking for
for two or three days." he ieveled o re-
volver and commenced firing at him. Tho
first shot took effect in the heart Lewis
jumped up and ran out of the shop ut the
back door, followed by Sutton, who fred
second shot, which took effect In the
back, killing Lewis instantly.
Sutton then turned and attempted to flee,
but was arrested by the village authorities
before he could escape. He was placed in

An angry mob commenced gathering
around the lookup, threatening dire ven
geanco on the murderer. As the crowd In
creased the more excited and intensely bit
ter they became, and threats Of violence
were frequent
Matters were brought to head when
one member of tho angry crowd proposed
that they Immediately take the law into
their own hands. No sooner said than
done. Inside of twenty minutes from
Lewis death band of masked and armed
men marched through the crowd, consist
ing of nearly the entire population of the
village forced an entrance into tho Jail
and dragged tho murderer thcrcfrom by u
rope around his neck. He was taken to
livery barn near by and hung TO u rafter.
No one attempted to interfere with the

Eating the First OYster.

Is has been often said that he must
have been bold man who first ate an
oyster. This is said in ignorance of the
legend which assigns the first act of oys.
ter eating to a very natural cause.
1t is related that a man, walking one
day, picked up one of these savory bi.
valves just as it was in the act of gaping.
Observing the extreme smoothness Of
the interior of the shells, he insinuated
his finger between them that he might
feel their shining surface, when sud-
denly they closed upon the exploring
digit with sensation less pleasurable
than he anticipated.
The prompt withdrawal of his finger
was scarcelya more natural movement
than its transfer to his mouth. 1t is not
very clear why people when they hurt
their fingers put them into their mouths
but it is very certain that they do; and
in this case the result was most fortu.
nate.
The owner of the finger tasted oyster
juice for the first time, as the Chinama q
in Elias essay having burnt his finger
first tasted cracking. The SAVIOR wa
delicious; he had made great discovery
SO he picked up the oysters, forced opel
the shells, banqueted upon their COL
tents, and soon brought oyster eating
into fashion.
And, unlike most fashions, it has never
gone, and is never likely to go out

self DeRouring.

A strange and really dramatic situa-
ton is one described by the author Of
"Obeah," a little book which treats of
West Indian life. Insects and reptiles
are abundant in the West Indies, and one
soon gets well acquainted with certain
small, bright green lizards, which are
perfectly harmless and very lively.
These little creatures are quite tame,
and when caught by the tail they slip
away, leaving that appendage behind
them.
was once sitting in the veranda,
watching little green lizard darting
about after the flies 1t became bold,
and in one of its quick movements
jumped on my foot. made a sudden
snatch, and caught the little fellow by
the tail. Giving wriggle, he darted
off, leaving that portion of his property
in my hands, and, having no use for it,
dropped it on the floor and resumed
my book.
Presently l looked down and saw that
lot of ants had found the piece of tail,
and were hurrying off with their treas
ure as fast as they could. When they
had dragged it almost to their hole /
noticed my little green friend, few
inches away, intently eying his missing
property. The ants were just giving a
final pull toward their nest, when the
lizard suddenly made dart upon them,
seized his bit of tail, and swallowed it
with evident gusto,

A Comedy of Errors.

Attorney @. G. Babcock is q very hon.
est hooking young gentleman, and yet he
was twice taken for thief and once for
. dead beat.
Mr. Babcock went into a restaurant ON
Third street and deposited his umbrella
In the rack and hung his black Derby
hat on nickel plated hat hook. When
the disciple of Blackstone had finished
his repast he walked over to the wall and
took what he supposed was his hat, put
it on and started toward the counter to
pay for his breakfast.
An athletic looking gentleman, who
was eating his morning repast and watch
ing his portable property, roared out:
"Come back here, sir, and leave my
hat"
ALI the ladies and gentlemen in the
restaurant watched Mr.. Babcock as he
replaced the hat and took his own.
The young lawyer was as mad as hor-
net and somewhat confused at the con-
tretemps. Then he walked over to the
umbrella rack and picked up an UNI
brella. The observant gentleman whose
hat Mr.. Babcock had taken noticed that
it was his umbrella that was being carried
off, and he shouted in stentorian tones:
"Drop that umbrella or I'll hand you
over to the police"
Mr.. Babcock saw that he had made
second mistake, and soon fished his own
rain shedder from among the many
others that were in the rack.
Then he left the restaurant, and he
was called back by the cashier, who
came to the door and excitedly said:
"Hadn't you better come back and
pay for your breakfast? You will at least
avoid being handed over to the police"
AS he still had his check for a fifty
cent breakfast in his hand, Mr.. Bah
cock walked back and paid his bill, with
the eyes of every lady and gentleman in
the place fixed suspiciously upon him.
One elderly lady audibly remarked;
"He don't look like thief, but you can't

With the TOnrs.

A great deal of laughter has been ex-
pended on womankind for taking the
broom as a weapon in "shooing" an
enemy, but, after all, why should not
one use the implement to which she is
most accustomed? Great execution is
possible with the weapon of our choice,
as an English lady, living in Canada, has
proved.
She was one day greatly interested in
putting out the family washing to dry.
Sheets and tablecloths were on the line,
which, to her horror, suddenly fell,
dropping her spotless clothes in the dirt.
A large buck, caught by the antlers,
was the cause of the trouble. There was
not man within five miles-they had
all gone to neighbor's for the day. The
deer plunged about, and the lady scream
ed. Sor,ething had to be done, and done
at onte. There was fine gun in the
house, loaded, but the lady would not ap-
preach it, as firearms were her especial
dread.
q Among her many possessions she had
large pair of tongs. She thoroughly
understood this firearm, and with all her
housewifely instincts outraged, she seized
them and began the attack.
Within five minutes the bucks skull
was pounded to jelly, and then the vic
tor, her clothing slightly torn, sat down
and INDUCED in a good cry.-Forest and
