Morse Thieves.

News was brought in by constable Ra- mono Soldini, of Tubac, that he was on the track of some horse thieves whe had stolen horses near there day before yes terday.
 It seems that some Mexicans saw the horses, three blow animals, near Tubac under circumstances rather favorable for their theft. As the men were of the stamp who only want such an opportun- ity to improve 1t, the horses were soon headed away from home, under the watchful care of their new possessors Two boys living in tLe vicinity, also Mexicans, soon missed the animals, struck their trail and followed on horse back. 1.-The tracks led directly to Tue son, and in short time they overlook the thieves and demanded their proper ty. Instead they were fired at, one boy getting a bullet in his clothes. After that they followed more slowly, the tracks leading into this city. .-
 They are not here now, however, and this morning their trail leading north from the city was found and is now be- ing followed by officers.

GOT EVEN WITH HER.
A small Boys Trick on an Elder Siste
 Who Had Sighted Him.

A small Boys Trick on an Elder Sister
 Who Had Sighted Him. That was mean joke played on a young lady of Washington avenue the ! other evening by a small brother, says the,St- Louis Republic. She had refused to let him go with her for horseback ride one day. and he spitefully told her he would get even with her' She had a habit of carrying in her pocket little silver and gilt powder puff box, and when she feels that her nose needs a touching with the puff she slides it out carefully and under her corsage handker- chief it reaches the dainty features aud swiftly and hidden performs it's mission. The small boy knew this Small boys are born detectives-on older sisters), and he procured some c1gar ashes, and, seeking his sisters powder puff case, it was the work of one small moment to empty out the white powder and fill the case with cigar ashes.
 That night the young lady attended a performance at the Olympic During the performance her nose began to feel ''un- powdery," so she whisked the case out of her pocket to give the usual secretive touch with the puff behind her hand kerchief. A moment later she was smiling serenely in her escorts face, and he-his expression was simply in- describable; horror, amazement, sur prise, all blended in one concentrated glance aJ the upturned face.
 ''There is something wrong," he nut tered. "Your-your nose isis gray decidedly gray
 The member in question on the pretty face received decided upward turn as she exclaimed: My nose is not gray. What do you mean, sir, by your insult?''
 ''But-but it-it really is gray-de- cidedly gray-deucedly gray; excuse the expression-the grayest ever saw in my life.'
 ''Yoa are insane, sir; please take me home" And she rose with naughty gesture. Together they left the theater, but, womanhke, passing the mirror near the entrance, she took sly glance at her reflection. Horrorsl She paused. ''Why, you are right" she gasped; ''my nose is gray. What can it be? Oh, that wretched boy!" The small boy got his revenge-but he goes to a distant col 1ege early next week.

INDIAN MEASUREMENTS.
How Distances Are Computed by tn
 Red Men of the West.

How Distances Are Computed by the
 Red Men of the West.
 Savage people are content with units of measure which, though indefinite, answer the purpose of men who have no use for exact knowledge, but who do want to know what comes within the scope of their vision, or of their ability to travel on foot or on horseback. Their ideas of distance will conform to the way in which that distance is to be coV- cred.
 We know how natural it is for us to speak of places as being so many days journey away, and in crossing the ocean Q place was so many weeks sail dis tant until recent times. Tn the East distances are reckoned by the hour, an hour being about three miles. It is not at all strange. then, to find the Indians reckoning in a similar manner.
 It is said that the Indian and half breed canoe-men compute distances on the water by pipes. One pipe is the distance they can paddle in the inter- val between the haltings they are al- lowed to make in order to have smoke. Permission for this halt is given by the person in charge at intervals which vary according to circumstances. If the guide is indulgent, he makes the pauses frequent; if the travellers are in a hurry, or the weather is threatening, fewer stops are made. A ''pipe" is, therefore, wholly indeterminate.
 A portage is measured by different standard. If the distance which the goods have to be carried exceeds half a mile in length, it is generally broken by one or more pauses, which are or dered by the person in command of the expedition just as the halt is called for a smoke. The distance travelled between these stops for resting Is called pause. This distance will vary according to the greater or less difficulty of the portage, and it's length. A pause" is understood to mean about one-third of a mile.
 The MenomOnee Indians of Wiscon- sin have the usage of dividing long distances into lO0kS A Hook" is the distance between the person and the farthest object he can see in the direc- tion he is going. The first ''look' is taken from the point where his journey begins. When he has reached the ob- ject first selected, he from that point selects the object to which his second look is taken, and so on. It is need- less to point out the circumstances that may make this unit of measure un- certain. -Y outh's Companion.

BUNK ROBINSON AND JACK
 BRIDGER KILLED.
Indians Supposed to be the Mu-
 dersrs.
IrOsDactOr.

M. Taylor who works for Schultz 1T the lower Sulpher Spring Valley came
 in early this morning and reported the
 killing last evening of two well l-knowr
 cattle men, Bunk Robinson who owns
 the c. A. bar cattle and Jack Bridgel A prospector named Mack or Nackey
 was the sole survivor of the party of
 three and brought the particulars to the ranch. upon the receipt of which Taylor immediately saddled up and rode to town for assistance before going to the scene of the killing although before this time the bodies will have been, no doubt brought in and buried by some ranchsrs who live in the vicinity of the fight. The particulars given by Mackey are substantially as follows:
 The three men were riding the range together and towards evening came up on the carcass of steer which had been killed but short time. While ex4nin- ing the carcass an Apache came over the little ridge just above them, evidently after a piece of the meat. Upon dis covering the three men he turned and made for the other side of the divide. As quick as he turned the boys began firing, each one took a shot at him, and Robinson exclaimed as he lowered his rifle, Boys took him gquarely Tn the the middle of the back"
 The three men without thinking of the danger, made rush for the top of the ride and over to the other side to see whether he fell or not. The shots had evidently forwarned the Apaches on the other side who had taken positions on either side Of the conyon into which the boys ran, and fusilade greeted them from both sides. Mackey states that there were at least five that he saw and other shots fired from behind cover would indicate at least eight of them. The first volley did not evidently do any deadly work, for the boys returned the lire and kept up sklrmish until Robin son fell with a government bullet through his head and Bridgsr had gone a moment afterward.
 After Mackey saw his two companions fall, he ran down the canyon and escap- ed, followed by q dozen bullets which miraculously went wide of their mark They had lost their horses and the sur vivor ran most of the way back to the ranch a distance of six miles.
 Word was sent at once to town as above stated, and Sheriff Slaughter not being at home. Under-Sherlff Shattuck wired the commander at Fort Huachuca
 On the way in, Taylor met Voss and Storms who had gone down to the Tomb stone Cattle Co.'s range. They told him to tell Slaughter that they saw lone Indian yesterday afternoon coming from Springs towards the Mule He rode a horse and was we'll armed. They watched him for a long distance or until they were out of sight of him.
 Further particulars of their doings is hourly expected.

Their Best Friend on Earth.
 It was in the C., H. 6 D. depot in Cin- cinnati one day when one of the men employed to oil the cars as they came ia accidentally fell under the wheels of ] a moving coach and had his right leg and hip crushed in horrible manner. He was picked up, says the New York Sun, and laid on some coats spread on the platform and a doctor was soon on hand. He must have suffered intensely. but after the doctor had examined him he coolly asked:
 Doctor, how bad is it?''
 ''Very bad. indeed" '
 "Wiu live?''
 Not more than ten minutes; you are bleeding to death."
 ''What time is it, Jim?'' asked the man of fellow employe.
 ''Eleven ifty-fve," was the answer.
 ''The children will bring my dinner at sharp twelve. Some of you 20 and stop them They mustn't see me die Poor, motherleSs children - orphans, now"
 went to the door with others, and we were just in time to stop boy of eight and a girl of six from coming in. Each had hold of the handle of basket containing fathers dinner, and they were smiling in anticipation of the greeting they would receive. We sent them away with false story about his having gone home, and the eyes of both were filled with tears of disappointment. The echo of their footsteps could still be heard on the pavement when the fa- ther breathed his last.
