From an Ardmore a. ~ Special

From an Ardmore e. T.) Special.
The remarkable career of old Tom Starr.
the notorious Cherokee desperate, which has
lately appeared in print, recalls an incident
in his life, the plainest statement of which
sounds like romance. Bill West was old
Toms hrother-in-law, and the most power
full man of his day in the Cherokee nation.
A blow from his fist was as deadly as a
Winchester bullet. Wi this formidable
weapon he killed several mon, and law
was passed declaring Bills fist a deadly
weapon. Old Tom and Bill had been close
companions, but one day they quarreled over
the division of the spolls of a pllndering
expedition. West struck at Starr, but the
willy savage lodged the blow, aud. at the
same time, deftly placad long, keen knife
blade between the formers ribs. This was
the tragic end of Bill West At this time
there was reward Of $1,000 offered for
Vests head, and $1,000 for that of Starr.
Old Iom was in need of ready cash, and
determined to run the risk of losing his own
head by trying to secure the reward on that
of his brother-in-lew.
80, after killing West, he cut off his head,
put 1t in gunny-bag and proceeded to
Iahlequah, the capital, where he presented
his CORY charge to the chief, with the proof
that it was the right head, and demanded
the reward. The chief and the treasurer are
both old men, and they knew Old Toms
reputation. They also knew that the reward
on Vests head was only $4,000, while that
for Old Toms was $1,000 But Starr was
there himself. and meant business. At the
muzzle of a six-shooter the treasurer forked
over the $4,000, and Old Tom departed with
the money, to the delight and establishment
OF the people of Tahlequah, without killing
single person.

EGGS HATOHED BY a VOLCANO.
How the Sea Gulls Utilizs the Warm
Sides of 5ogoslov's Crater.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
From the region of ice and snow, and of
poachers and smugglers. t g cutter Rush
clme yesterday. Her half-dozen guns We're
in prime condition, not having been fired
on the trip. and her hold was not laden
with the spoils of seizure. But she brought
interesting news.
The most interesting result of the trip of
the Rush was visit paid by the officers to
Bogoslov Island, where is the famous VOL
cano of thar name. In conversation with
one of the officers. an interesting resume was
obtained of the discoveries and data CLEANED
by the visit Bogoslov is sixty miles west
southwest of Oonalaska. 1t originally
consisted of one island with two craters, one
# whicl first sprang into activity in 1892
Last winter the island was the scene of Il
strange CONFUSION of nature. The second
crater, now known as Now Bogoslov, be-
came active. In some powerful CONFUSION
the sandspit which had connected the two
parts of the island was submerged and one
era er was separated from the other by sew
eral fathoms of water 1t is thought that
during this CONFUSION changes occurred in
New Bogoslov below the water line; that
assures were opened through which volumes
of water made their way into the caldron
within. This accounts for the immense
quantities of steam which the officers OF
the Rush saw escaping from the crater at a
distance of fully sixty miles.
Of the two craters, New Bogosloy offered
the most interesting field of study to the
officers of the Rush. They ascertained the
crater to be only 200 feet above the sea
level. The peak had disappeared in the
gaping hole. Along the sides of the vol
cano large deposits Of lavn, pumice, ashes
and volcano rock were seen. From assures
on the level earth springs of boiling sulphur
arose to nights OF from seven to ton feet.
The officers planned an ascent to the crater
"a hazardous feet which could oniv be
attempted when favorable wind carried
the shifting volumes of sulphurous steam
in single direction. When near the mouth
of the crater the FOOTBALLS Of the officers
were echoed in the vo cano. On peeping
over the edge Of the NOUN an imprl ssive
sight was witnessed. Steam in endless
quantities rushed up from unknown depths.
and rumbling, bubbling noises, like that of
thunder, were heard The air was impreg-
mated with sulphur, and near the crater Que
could breathe only with difficulty.
One of the most novel discoveries in con-
nection with the ascent was that the ocean
birds used the volcano island as a natural
incubator for their young. Thousands of
gulls few away at elapproach.:o the Qush.
They left behind them, along the sides of
the volcano, eggs in all stages of develop
ment.
