Spelling THEIR FUN.
A Relief Party Meets with Decidedly
Cold Reception.


Cold Reception.
On one occasion, when with the Gov
eminent survey party in Texas, man
rode into our camp on a mule and gave
us the news that band of Indians had
attacked a rancher about seven miles
away. We made up party of twelve
soldiers and civilians and covered the
distance as fast as our horses could go.
Sure enough, there were fifteen or
twenty Indians besieging a cabin, and
they were just getting ready to set fire
TO it by backing up wagon loaded with
hay. We got two of them and captured
six ponies, and the others were not yet
out of sight when the settler opened his
door and stepped out, followed by his
wife. He had a rifle and she a shot
gun, and the first words the man said
were:
'Now, you dog-goned emery lot, but
what does this ere mean? Who in the
deuce are you'uns, and what brought
you here?"
''Why. mani" said our Captain. ''We
come from our camp seven miles away
to save you"
''Save nothin'r' roared the man. "Whc
axed fur any of your help?'
Eyes, pint him out?" added his wife.
''Why, a settler rode in on a mule and
said you were attacked, and, of course,
we came to your help"
"Well, dod rot you, you hev split all
the funl We've been waitin' right yere
fur five years to hev them Injuns show
up, and we'd just got 'em red hot fur
fun, when you had to cum chargin' up
an scatter 'em off! 1t was dead wrong
on me and Nance"
''You bet, Sam, dead wrongl" sue
added.
''Why, you'd have been burned out in
ten minutes more!' exclaimed the
amazed Captain.
1--WE woald, eh?" In the first place,
that hay is still wet from the rain. In
the next place, l drawed out the axle
pins, and every wheel would hev run off
in backing ten feet In the last place,
we jist wanted to git the crowd in range,
and then sweep 'em with the old swivel
I've had mounted back yere fur over
two years. ] reckon you meant right
huff, but it was dead wrong on me and
Nance, and after this I'll thank We to
mind yer own bizness. Them Iniuns is
gone, and the Lord only knows when
another gang will cum along.
And the pair picked up their hoes and
went to work in the corn patch without
giving us another word or look.-N. Y.

A Terrible Holocaust.

TONGUE PoINTE, Que, May GA long
line Of gaunt towers. the blazing debris
shining in the wild eyes of maniacs-
that is all one now sees of the Tongue
Pointe maniac asylum, located ten
miles from Montreal, and which, with
many lives was to-day consumed by
flames. There were incarcerated in
Tongue Pointe 1900 lunatics, for that
asylum was a prison more than hospi-
tai. and now not more than l, 100 are ac-
counted for; but many escaped into the
fields and woods and the dead are ashes
amongst ashes. The fire was discover
ed just before noon in a cupboard and
was the work of a patient. The build
ing was 600 feet long running back from
the river half the distance and
was built of brick. Assistance
was asked from Montreal. One
engine and two reels started on
their ten-mile run, and were quickly on
the spot, but they might as well have
remained at home, for in five minutes
they exhausted the water supply.
When the firemen found they were
powerless TO save the building they
turned their attention to the inmates
and burst in the doors with axes. In
side, Chief Benoit says it was such a
sight as no fireman ever witnessed.
A loud explosion occurred which was
followed by a crash of beams. The in
terror was giving way. Wild faces sank
from the windows. and the shrieks of
the maniacs were lost in the general up
roar. one by one the walls toppled in
ward. and fierce blaze burst up from
the newly added fuel, and then ii died
down into blackness.
The number of dead is purely a mat
ter of conjecture. the asylum books, the
only record of inmates, are destroyed.
Taking into consideration the whole OF
the evidence from the half-sane in
mates. the sisters in charge, bystanders
and personal observation it is conserv-
alive estimate to say that hundred
victims met their death. though some
assert that the number is double that
stated. About 81. 200. 600 was the cost
of the building; insurance $500. 900.
