county road to Milford and about buying
new watch while Jesse had his fixed and
about their going to the hotel and buying
drinks. After leaving Milford they went
down to Slaughter Neck where they
stopped all night, about II miles from
the scene OF the murder.

Jesse Proctor was then brought out
and corroborated Fred's statement In
every particular, except the direct kill
ing. He said Fred did the deed, but he
did not know 1t until the blow was
struck, as he was fishing and had his
back turned. He denied emphatically
having told Fred to commit the deed or
saying the old man had money. Both

man before, but this seems hardly a

ked Fred il he had fishing line if so
they would fish while. Fred had one
and they stopped on the bridge. Soon
the old man came down and said swell
boys are you having any luck" and was
told not much. He then threw out his
line from the opposite side OF the bridge.
KILLED THE OLD MAN IN GOLD BLOOD.
Jesse then told Fred to get chunk and
kill the old man, as he bad money. Fred
hesitated, but after being told four or five
times by Jesse to do it, he found stick
or club and, slipping up behind the old
man, dealt him a savage blow.

How Etcl.incr Are slasle.

No branch of art within the past few
years has attracted such universal atten-
ton as etching. The art of etching Is
not, as Is popularity supposed. a new in
vention. hut the revival of an art in which
Rembrandt and Albert Durcr excelled.
The process by which an etching Is made
is both delicate and difficult. II Is ac-
complished by coating a copper plate
with preparation of wax, upon which
the artist traces with sharp instrument,
called the needle or point. the lines OF
his picture. The plate is then Immersed
in acid, which eats into the lines laid
bare by the needle. and the acid bath Is
repeated. The lines when sufficiently
bitten are stopped up with fine French
varnish.
This process has been repeated more
than fifty times in some plates before
the proper effect of light and shade was
obtained. Etching is really "a drawing
ON plate, thus giving the genuine work
of the artist as much effect as in an oil
painting. Ii is this absolute quality of
art possessed by etchings, as distinguished
from the purely mechanical methods OF
engraving. which gives 20 them their
value. The ink used in printing Is thick;
the plate is warmed by placing it on a
heated marble slab. SO that the ink VIII
flow freely enough TO fill up all the lines.
After mixing. the plate Is rubbed clean,
leaving the ink only in the lines, except
ing where certain effects of light and
shade may be desired not represented by
the lines. These can be obtained by the
skill of the printer, who can produce
beautiful effects by his manipulation of
the ink on the plate. There is n great
difference i'm plates in this respect, some
requiring much more skill TO print than
others. After the plate is ready the
paper, having first been dampened, is
placed on il and then covered with felt.
The press consists of an iron bed, per-
fectly true and level. for the plate to
rest on, and an iron roller which passes
over the plate, exerting great pressure,
so that the paper is forced into the lines
of the plate. After each impression the
plate is cleaned and linked again, and the
same process gone through with, SO that
the printing of etchings cannot be hur-
ried. To insure uniformity, a sample
print is before the printer to look at
This is either printed by the etcher or
superintendent by him. So great is the
skill required to properly print etchings
that less than half a dozen printers in
the country have won a reputation as
being first class.
Etchings are quite expensive, and often
bring as high as S1,000.-New York

How n Mine Was Discovered.

The discovery of the Amulet mine, on
Lynx creek, reads more like fiction than
reality. AS it has never been in print
we will give it: In July, 1886, +. E.
Doggett, with pick and shovel on his
shoulders, was climbing the Lynx Creek
mountains on his way 10 examine a
quartz mine Becoming weary in the
ascent he stopped beneath the friendly
boughs of juniper tree to rest. After
recuperating for some time he took up
his pick, and in throwing it on his shout
der it slipped from his hands, and. in
falling behind him, its sharp point
struck him in the leg. causing great pain.
Picking it UP with a vehement inn
precation from the pain it caused
him, he stuck it in the ground, saying it
could remain there, and started TO walk
away. He had gone but short distance
when he relented, and, returning, pulled
il from the ground. bringing with it
some bright and shining metal. In his
anger he had unlsnowingly struck it into
a blind ledge, which he located as the
Amulet mine, and from which there has
been over $4,000 worth OF high grade
ore shipped. From a careful examine
ton made OF the second class ore. which
has been allowed TO remain on the
dumps, it is estimated that it contains
fully 1900 tons. Samples were procured
from this prOmiscuOusly, and sampled
and assayed &c the sampling works, Civ

a Dog That "Blinked."

1t Is a queer psychological fact that
highly bred settlers and pointers. with
their instincts well developed. often be-
come frightened at the first real opera
ton of the pointing instinct and never
recover from it. a local sportsman had
a well bred, fancy pedigreed setter which
he raised with due regard for his future
usefulness in the field. and at maturity
started out TO give him trial on game.
True TO his nature the dog galloped over
the fields in the merry style Of his trained
ancestors, and coming suddenly upon q
large covey of birds he stopped at the
scent of the birds in obedience to his
pointing instinct.
The dog had never seen n game bird,
and the odor of the cover rose SO thickly
about him that he was fairly intoxicated
with the delightful sensation of the
point" He shivered in his excitement,
and so pronounced was the effect upon
him that his hair rose with his sensa-
tons. Presently the birds began to rise
with a noisy whir. and the unexpected
sight of quails and the noise they made
getting away so alarmed the dog that he
turned tail and ran off TO hide in the
bushes. Since that time the dogs fear
of birds has been SO great that he always
runs away from them. He will hunt
diligently to find birds. and he will make
his point after they are found. but the
moment he stops to point he recollects
his first birds. and with the most AFFECT
expression he steals away from the
object he has worked so hard TO find.
This popularity is by no means uncom-
mon, and sportsmen have named the act
blinking. Chicago Tribune.

Canyon of tho Gunnison.

Beyond Gunnison City the railway
runs through the valley of the same
name, closely following the river. Soon
the well worn channel grows narrower,
the cliffs mount higher; vegetation is
less abundant, and suddenly the sun
light is entirely shut out by broken sum-
mits, and the black canyon Of the Gun
nison holds us fast in its embrace. This
gorge is grander, deeper darker and
more beautiful than the Royal which we
passed through earlier in the day. II is
thrice as long and much more verdant,
and although its walls are of red sand
stone they are sufficiently dark hued to
give the place its name. At times the
canyon narrows and is full of sharp
curves, but again it has long, wide
stretches, which enable one to study the
steep craes that tower heavenward two
or three thousand feet above us. An open
observation car is attached to the train,
and the lovers of nature feast upon the
charms Of this wonderful locality.
Currecanti Needle, the most abrupt of
the towering pinnacles, stands like a
grim sentinel, watching the canyons
solitudes. IL Is red hued from point to
base, and has all the grace and symmetry
of a Cleopatran obelisk. The sunlight
which bathes the pine tops in golden halo
never reaches Gown the dark red walls.
Huge powders lie scattered about and
project out many feet above the travel
eys' heads, as though about to fall.
Somber shades prevail; fitful winds sweep
down the deep clefts; the rushing green
hued river fills the space with sullen roar.
Everything ia on scale of grand proper
tons: detail is supplanted 10y magnif-
their very depths. - Cor New York
