MICKEY FINS TRAGEDY.

The noiseless, automatic wind WIS
soughing through the little strip of
piney woods on Cooney Island near the
upper left hand corner of Stumpy Field.
Ali day long the rays of the August
sun had beaten down on the dry grasses
and dropping wild flowers in the field.
The air was tremulous with heat, and
the wide expanse OF landscape which
could be seen from the back stoop of
the Finn shanty showed no sign of life.
A lazy butterfly with gaudily painted
wings fioated hither and thither on the
zephyrs which drifted out from Lind
sley's wood.
A great humble bee nestled in the
shade of the leaves Of the sweetbriar
bush close by the shanty, from which
it fitted a moment afterward as though
scenting. greater sweets within, and
lightened on the rubicund nose of Mrs.
Finn. There was pause like that be-
fore a storm. There was swipe of the
big red arm, q blow of the big fat fist
on the side Of the glowing beak, but the
bee had skipped,
1t was no uncertain memory which
the bee had left behind upon that pro-
bosis. Little by little the nose swelled
to enormous proportions, and by the
time that Mrs. Finn had reached the
cracked mirror in her dingy bedroom
the swelling had spread to her cheeks,
her eyes, her long double jointed ears,
and to that huge cavern which she
called her mouth.
"Ow, WOW! Militia murtherl" she
screamed, as she caught sight Of her
phiz in the glass. At that moment the
humble bee came buzzing around her
head again. Driven wild by the pain
in her nose, Mrs. Finn shot out her fist
at random and struck the looking glass
square in the middle. There was q
crash, scream and gush of blood.
She had cut the artery in her wrist.
She tainted, and before she came to she
had bled to death.
The humble bee buzzed on.

ALBrouERQuE, n. NJ, March d.
Great excitement prevails here over the
sending of troops into the Navajo reser-
walton after "a party of 10 prospcctors, who
are in the Carriso mountains, about one
hundred miles north Of Gallup. The
party has been there three weeks. and il
Is alleged have found the"lost Adams dig
gings.' They are well armed and are
determined thoroughly To prospect the
section or fight. The Indians drove out a
party a short time ago that had sunk a
:o-foot shaft on body of very rich native
and free gold ore. The large party then
went in and the Indians notified the
troops at Fort Wingate to take them out.
An expedition of 80 men left Gallup this
morning with rations for a campaign.

BEFORE 1T GOT STARTED
An Incendiary Fire Discovered in the
Nick Of Time.
This Time the Unknown Fire Bug
Began Work In a Barn In the
Rear of the Palace
Hotel.

Another dastardly attempt to kindle u
blaze in the heart of the city was per-
pctratcd very early yesterday morning.
The place selected this time was In the
vicinity of those chosen before and occa-
sions lust cause for alarm among the
property owners of that quarter Of the
town. A barn on Cedar street between
First and Second streets, just in the rear
of the Palace hotel, was where the fire
hug cntlcavored to get in his work on this
occasion. A ilunkey working at the Pal
ace hotel while passing by an uncurtained
window i'm the building happened Ia mo-
ticc n light in the barn. and thinking IL
strange, stopped to look more closely.
Seeing that IL was evidently OH fire he
gave the alarm. A number of men
rushed out and with the aid Of a few
buckets of water succeeded in putting out
the fire before il had secured Roadway.
The fire had been started on the iloor of
of the barn near the door. A can Of
coal oil had been poured into knot-hole,
The entire floor near the door had been
well saturated with the oil and then ig-
nightcd with match. The flames were
extinguished before they had fairly
started. However this was not the fault
of the villain, whose infamous purpose
was again unsuccessful. His intentions
were 10 uOtlDt ttNeTai

probable that the entire block would have

The Portland O,cyonidA, speaking Of
Maggie Mitchell in Fanchon, says: Fan
chon is one of those dramatic creations
that retain their hold upon popular affcc-
tion because Of the strong human element
which dominates each scene and incident.
Its motive appeal To the hearts, while the
background of weird imagination and
strange peasant superstition feeds the de-
sire for the curious and holds the interest.
Maggie Mitchell has made "Fanchonn
famous. and the years that have passed
over her have i'm no way dullcd the keen
edge of the artists work. There was a
personal magnetism about the little
woman and her work that won her the
favor of her audience when she had only
been upon the stage but brief moment"
Miss Mitchell will present RAY" at
Evans opera house next Thursday even
