A MISTAKEN IMPRESSION CONCERNING
OUR ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA

There seems 10 DO an impression on The part
OF some that the recent decision Of judge
shipmsn, concerning copyright articles In the
britannica, would in some way Affect our edi-
ton and perhaps interfere with our work.
In order to correct this impression we wish
10 state
First. that this decision was against Funk q
Vaginal or Allen edition. and IN no way in
wolves the edition we are selling; aud
Second. that the suit against Allen was based
on the use of the article united States" I'm vol
ume % and ON the eight maps accompanying
the article. Now. ne you already know. our edi-
ton has not the United States mays Of the En-
glish edition, which are old and out Of date. but
all our maps relating 10 the United States ara
new and up TO date. We have also Co an
LATER article on the United States by AIneri-
can writers Of the highest reputation aud
WHICH WILL GIVE THE RESULT OF THE
CENSUS NOW BEING TAKEN.
IL will be seen that the Introduction Of these
new Mas and Of the new aud later information
with regard so the United States not only makes
our edition vastly more valsable but prevents
any possible ground for claim of n fringemenI
We assure you that you need pay no attention
70 any rumors or reports that may be put In
circulation regarding our edition. and that no
s,oppaze or delay will occur in the preparation
of the work.

have often wondered what hindered
the cougars from being very plentiful.
They are monarchs of the woods, and
are very shy, with plenty of game and
cattle to live on. This spring | was
talking with an old cruiser Ia man who
hunts for timber and good land claims),
who had followed the business for the
last twenty years in Oregon and this
State. He never takes gun, but car
ries only a blanket and small axe. He
related that one night when he was
camping in the head of ravine about
dark he heard cougar scream on
one of the ridges, and this one was
answered by another on tho opposite
ridge. They kept working toward the
head, until finally they came together
some three hundred yards above him in
some quaking aspen; and such row
and racket as they made he had
never heard before. They rolled down
he says that he was pretty we'll scared;
but he kept up big fire and stayed be-
hind that They quieted down in a
couple of hours, and the next morning,
when it was light enough, he went on
to the battle ground. He found one of
them lying there dead, all cut and torn
to pieces. 1t was very largo one.
Four days afte rwards, as he was coming
back the same way, some five hundred
yards from where he had found the first
one he had stumbled upon the other
one, dead. This, too, was all cut and
torn as the first had been. AT another
time, in Oregon, he heard a big fight
going on, but did not go to see the re-
suits. He was stopping one night with
an old Indian, who had hunted and
trapped all his life, and was telling him
about the fight, when the Indian said
that that was the way when two old
males met; one or the other was killed,
and very often both; and that whenever
the male would find the young ones and
the mother absent he would kill the
last one of them, but If the mother were
with them she would keep him off.
That must be the reason that the mother
goes with the young until they are
nearly two years old. They say that
all the cat kind will kill their young.
We know that this is so with the
domestic cat.-Forest and Stream.

PRISON BRUTALITIES.
Tortures Said to BE Inflicted in the Colo.
RADIO State Penitentiary.

The Denver News, in an extended ex-
posure of alleged abuses in the Colo
rado State Penitentiary, describes two
methods said to be used to discipline re-
fractory prisoners. The description is
attributed to convict, from whose let
ter the following is taken:
After supper the unhappy victim is
led forth from his cell to the vicinity of
the stable and compelled to stand with
his back to post erected for such occa-
sions. Two officers are generally or
dered to tie the prisoners hands behind
his back; strap is then drawn around
him, lashing his body to the post.
An officer attired in waterproof clothes
now steps behind the post and holds
the prisoners ears, while another
stands off about six feet and throws a
stream of water in the prisoners face
There is generally sixty-pound pres
sure on the pump, and the water is
thrown with SO much force that 1t tears
the flesh from the prisoners face. The
force of the water compels the prisoner
to open his mouth, and the stream is
thrown down his throat until he is al
most strangled. He is then granted a
respite till he has thrown up the water
he swallowed and regained his breath.
This operation is repeated three o,
four times. Finally, when the guards
have had sufficient fun, the water is
thrown in the victims face until he is
knocked down.
Another engine of torture is what is
known as the urging-up machine. 1t
consists of pair of handouts and a
rope. The prisoner is taken to the
warehouse and obliged to ascend plat
form that is situated in one corner of 1t.
Before adjusting the handouts the ropes
are twisted SO that when the offender is
swung from the platform he is whirled
in the air at the rate Of one hundred
revolutions minute. He is wound off
the platform by means of windlass.
When the whirling motion has ceased,
the officers PROFOUND all kinds of taunt.
ing questions to their victim, and II he
shows more fortitude than they like to
see in an unfortunate man one OF them
will jump up and swing himself from
the prisoners shoulder in order to in
crease the, pain. The victim Is left
hanging until non-oirculation causes in
sensibility. 1t is a frequent occurrence
to throw bucket of water in mans
fave and ask him how ho likes IT.
