A costly ring, unguarded by police or
special Waterman, hangs suspended by a
silk cord around the neck of a statue Of
the Maid of Almodeua, the patron saint
Of Madrid, in one ofthe beautiful parks Of
the Spanish capital. 1t is set with dia-
monds and pearls, Notwithstanding which,
there is no danger of its being stolen.
The greatest thief in Madrid would not
touch it any quicker than he would the
plate Oh his mothers coffin. Its history
is curious and interesting, and equal to
ANYTHING found in medieval folk lore The
ring was made for King Alfonzo MI,
who gave it to his cousin, the pretty
Mercedes, on the day Of their betrothal.
She wore it during her short married life.
On her death the King presented 1t to
his grandmother Queen Christiana. She
died soon, and the King passed the deadly
little circle to his sister, Inianta del Pilgr,
who died within the month Again 1t
started on its deadly rounds. next finding
a place on the finger of Christina the
Youngest daughter of the duke Of Mont
pensier, but in less than three months She
also was dead. Alfonzo next put the ring
in his own casket, and lived less than
wear after so doing. No wonder it safely
hangs on statue in an unguarded square.

Of the Events That Have Led lip to the

Ever KNOWN I'm the West.
Sunday, September %. 1889. at 12:15 u.
m. the alarm WAS given for what proved
to be the most disastrous confiagration
Butte. Montana, has ever known. After
hcrculean efforts on the part of the fire
departments, backed by men whose every
interest was at stake. the flames were sub
dhied. not, however, until many had lost
their all.
When the fire had been brought under
control il was found that the Bonner
Mercantile company's stock. by far the
largest i'm Montana. i'm fact fully as large
as the combined stocks of all the other
dealers i'm their line i'm the county, had
been damaged to considerable extent. In
su-ance adjusters soon arrived. who, ow-
ing to repeated MISUNDERSTANDING. failed
To reach any satisfactory adjustment, and
the matter OF the loss was finally sub
mitted to arbitration. the result of which
was an award Of S63,O59.25 on "a stock
amounting i'm all to over a quarter of n
million dollars. The sworn statements of
the arbitrators for this amount were
not arrived at until the house has been
closed for eighty-one days. AT this point
