From a gentleman recently down
from the mountains, the Marysville
Appeals learns Of the strange ez-
perieuces OF various sorts Of wild
animals dufingRale winter. Deer,
when caught in a binding snow
storm, huddie together and tramp
roundand round in a-circle, beating
down the soft snow, SO that when
"a very heavy fall ocears during cay
twelve hours, they find themselves
IN a snow pen, with walls above
them; and if they commence to
tramp on top Of several feet Of
snow during a storm, they often
find themselves in q corral of snow,
With q wall surrounding them to a
height Of ten or twelve feet when
the storm clears off, being virtually
imprisoned in q snowy prison pen,
ii ON which escape is impossible
antil the spring thaw Of the season.
"There lives an old miner on
Canon Greek, i'll Sierra County
several miles above Brandy City
who was taking q stroll near his
cabin last winter after n Of the
heavy SHOWS, when he came across
vone Of these deer pens in the snow,
and there imprisoned were seven
teen deer OF various sizes. They
were ia a circular pen Of snow, with
walls fifteen feet high. Upon The
mans appearance the deer became
quite excited, and hnddled together
and lodged ffem one side Of the
pen to the other. However, as
hunger came upen them the became
more docile, and the frequent visits
of the miner, with boughs and buds
from adjoining trees, which he
threw into the pen as food, caused.
the deer to become regular pets,
and to watch for the visits of their
protector. After a while the man
placed a ladder in the pit, and
spend a great deal Of time in hand
ling his pets. Occasionally he
would take one OUT for food, as
meat became scarce, and in this
way used several Of the deer, but
!he'had most Of the deer yet in
state of demestication. It il said
me has q deer ranch in his mountain
home, such after the fashion Of a
cattle ranch on o small SCALE"
The Appeal is also informed that
a similar band of deer was found
10 enc Of those deadly snow pits
near Washington, Nevada County,
and was likewise rescued. The
.streetszo of DownieEilIe were enliEcn-
ed last winter by the appearance
of deer which were driven from the
momtains down to the river towns
by starvation, and dnmesticated by
kindness and food. As the snow
has been disappearing, many ear.
cases Of deer have been found.
where they have persisted in the
deadly snow corral. The heavy
and sudden SHOWS Of the past win
ter have caused fearful mortality
among the deer which did not
escape the lower altitude.-Marys

AKRON, o., Dec 13.-A terrible acci-
dent occurred in Buchtel college this
evening. A number OF lady students
gathered in the library building and
were being entertained by eight of their
number, who were masked and wore
loose flowing garments with high hats
covered with cotton. In some manner
the hat of one Of the young ladies caught
fire, and the flames rapidly darted to all
the others. Aid was summoned as
quickly as possible, but when the flames
were extinguished, it was found that

THE TREND OF EVENTS IN THE
FATHERLAND.
Educational Reforms Stimulated by the
Emperor's Remarks-Koch's Remedy
Not Much of Success.

BERLIN, Dec. 13.-[Copyright 1890 by
the New York Associated Press The
Bundesrath has refused to approve the
resolution adopted by the Reichstag,
by which theological students are per-
mitted to spend the last six months of
their army service in hospital work.
The centrists consider that this re-
fusal indicates that the Bundesrath will
not pass the measure for the recall OF
the Jesuits, unless Caprivi uses the
whole of his influence with the govern
ment to support their demands.
The Volksblatt has obtained, and is
making the most of, a circular of an
association formed to combat the de-
structive tendencies of socialism. The
circular has the private sigma
lures of Won Moltke, Miguel, Pultkamer,
Krupp, the bishop of Treves and others,
chiefly belonging to the old Cartel party.
The recent speech OF Emperor William
upon the educational system has had a
marked effect on school methods. The
school reform committee has voted to
substitute modern for ancient languages
in all the lower classes in places where
there are only gymanasia: and also make
such changes in the present system of
realschulen and high middle-class
schools as will enable the course to be
continued in the upper realschulen. In
Hamburg the town council has decided
to establish higher middle-class school
in accord with the emperor's ideas.
The Frankfort Zeitung announces the
flight of banker named Reiss, who is
an embezzler to the extent of 4O0, 900
marks.
Many medical men who came from
abroad to study Koch's treatment, are
leaving with their hopes OF its success
abated. Some specialists continue their
demonstrations, but others have ceased
to offer inquirers facilities. Professor
Bergman, upon concluding his demon
strations, announced that he would not
pronounce definitely upon the results
for a year, but reaffirmed his belief in
the value of the treatment.

THE WHITE METAL.
Free Coinage Opposed, But a Large Use
of Silver Favored.

NEW York, Dec. 13.-The Tribune
says: 1t is understood that at his con-
ference with the bankers yesterday,
Secretary Window intimated that free
coinage silver bill would likely be passed
at the present session of congress, unless
forestalled by some other action. The
suggestion of Treasurer Huston, that
fractional silver coin should be trans
ferred to the bullion account, and the
secretary be authorized to issue silver
certificates for it, was discussed. The
treasurer also wished to include silver
dollars as bullion, which, with the frac
tional silver, would make fresh issue
OF about $25, 100000 currency. Another
proposal was that the treasury should
buy each month in addition to the legal
requirements of 4 800, 900 ounces of silver,
enough more to counteract the retire.
ment OF national bank notes., The with
drawal of national bank currency
amounts to about 100000 year,
and it was proposed that the secretary
buy enough silver to make good this
contraction.
The proposition that was received
with most favor was that the treasurer
should be authorized to buy at once all
the silver in sight, of American produc-
ton. The amount cannot be ascertained.
1t seemed the general opinion of the
meeting, and it WAS encouraged by
Window that even ii the amount was
above $l3 1000, 900, this course would be
preferable to free coinage bill.
About the amount of silver that might
have been purchased under this plan,
Mr.. Seligman said, tonight: 81 do not
know how much there is /; l do not think
it is over $40 100000. But you might as
we'll ask that boy there. He knows as
much as Secretary Window"
The persons who were in conference
with him are agreed on one point-that
no definite action will be taken as the
result OF the conference. "The only
thing you can say" Seligman remarked,
lis that the administration is willing
and ready to relieve the situation"
A banker, discussing the situation,
said: "There is no doubt about the
position of the government. Free coin
age of silver is opposed, but a larger use
OF the white metal is favored.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Dec. 13.-Tnforma-
ton was received here today that two
white men, John Bridges and Burk
Robinson, were killed by Apaches in
the Guadalupe mountains yesterday.
Bridges discovered some freshly killed
meat and went to Hall's ranch to notify
the men there. Then in company with
Robinson and another man, they went
to the place were the meat was found to
investigate the matter. They had just
arrived at the spot when they were fired
upon by the Indians. They returned
the fire and attempted to escape, but
were surrounded and two OF them soon
fell. The other man escaped after being
grazed by a bullet, which made slight
scalp wound, and reported the re-
suit. A courier was then sent
to this city TO help. Sheriff
Slaughter Immediately telegraphed to
Fort Huachuca for government assist
ance, and made immediate preparations
for departure. The fight took place in
the Guadalupe mountains, east OF the
San Bernar1ino range, near the Mex
lean line. Five Indians were seen, but
it was impossible to know how many
were present, and the fact that the
party was surrounded, shows that there
were many more than five there. A
few days ago Indian scouts and soldiers
from Fort Bowie were recalled from this
vicinity, as it was said there were no
Apache outlaws there.
DENVER, Dec. l3. "A special to the

pede the cattle, when the cowboys. who
were secreted, fired on them. A sharp
skirmish ensued, and the Indians were
compelled to retreat, leaving three dead.
One Of the cowboys received'a serious
wound.
Another special from Rapid City says
news is received that Two Strikes and
Short Bulls followers have been fight
ing again in the Bad Lands. 1t is not
known what the casualties are, if any.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. ia
The reports of fight between the In

and his warriors, and fully three hum
'dred warriors are now on the way to
bring in all who now remain in the Bad

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-General Miles
does not place any credence in the re-
port of battle between troops and
Indians in the northwest. He had
telegram from General Brooke yesterday
to the effect that rumor that the In
dians were fighting among themselves
had reached the agency, but nothing
further was received.
A dispatch from Omaha says no battle
occurred between the troops and In
dians near Pine Ridge agency as re-

OPPOSED TO LAW.
The Sacramento Bee Boycotters Found
Guilty of Contempt.

Guilty OF Contempt
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13.--The case of
contempt against six parties for disobey-
ing the injunction of the superior court
in the Bee boycott suit, was concluded
last night, having lasted four days and
evenings. Judgment was passed
this morning. Three parties were
found guilty, as follows: H.
w. Cuthbert, president of the
Typographical union; J. D. Laing,
manager of the Trades Union, the paper
published by the boycotters, and G. w.
Mcmillan, assistant thereon. G. W. Nc
Kay, president of the Federated Trades,
was discharged for want of evidence.
S. E. Carrigon, who printed the paper,
proved that contempt was not intended
and was discharged. Counsel for the
Bee asked that only nominal fine,
without imprisonment, be imposed, as
they only desired to establish the prin-
ciple that the boycott is opposed to law.
The court fined each defendant adjudged
guilty $40, but stated that further DISC
bedience would be more severely dealt
with. The other contempt proceedings
pending were postponed to January 7th.

Walter Barte1ot Again Defends His
Brothers Memory.

LONDON, Dec. 13. Walter Bartelot,
brother OF the late Major Bartelot, writes
the Times: "All that Stanley said
about me is untrue. 1t is also untrue
that my brother wrote me to prevent
Troup from divulging anything, or that
Stanley or his officers warned me not to
publish my brothers diaries. Bonny
told me some, not all, of the tales but
he at the same time told stories to the
discredit of nearly every officer of the
expedition, including Stanley. The lat
ter's book and all his subsequent accusa-
tions are full of irreconcilable contradic-
tions and Inconsistencies, largely made
up Of scourings of camp gossip. Stanley
has done this to cover his own culpa-
bility."
n. He encloses letter from Lieutenant
Baert, testifying to Major Bartelot's in
domitable energy and courage. Lieu
tenant Baert says he was on the spot,
