THE PARSON WAS TREED.

And the Bulldog Kept Watch Until His
Masters Son Came.
James Bradner, q merchant in BROOKLYN.
accompanied by clergyman of the Metho-
dist denomination who breaches in place
in the suburbs of that city, took day Off
recently and went up 70 Rockland county
for few hours sport hunting for birds and
rabbits. They had their hunt, but it was &C.
companied by an experience which they
will not soon forget, says the New York
Times.
The two gentlemen went up in the morn
ing train to Monsey, and started out on
foot from that place to the "wilds'' of that
region. Taking northwesterly course
through the woods, they came upon a
stretch of land which looked like poood
place for rabbits and birds and even grizzly
bears, if such animals were found in this
county. Here the merchant and the domi-
ME camped for time, resolving to scour
that locality well before going any further.
Suddenly rabbit started up. and the
hopes of the city hunters rose high The
rabbit seemed inclined to lead the men into
recesses dark and deep. for he kept on in
dominic took the lead in the chase, and not
being we'll posted on the ways of the Rock
land county rabbit. he thought he would
run him down. Bunny continued on in his
course. evidently enjoying the race with his
ministerial pursuer, and the dominic, who
was falling rapidly behind, got out of
breath. and was finally obliged to stop and
rest.
Another pursuer appeared suddenly on
the scene. This newcomer was O large and
ferocious dog, and as the animal was
neither pointer nor setter, but rugged
specimen of bulldog it was painfully evil
dent that the game he was after was not
the rabbit, but the dominic. The latter be.
came aware of this fact in an instant. and
put himself ON the defensive BY Qraspinp
the lower branches of a tree and hauling
himself up just in time to get his feet out
of reach Of the dogs teeth, and dropping
his gun on the ground.
''Get oute' called the dominic to the say
age brute, and the animal replied with
low growl and showed his teeth in a man
ner which betokened danger to any one who
might approach him. The clergyman, for
getting temporarily the substance of the
sermon with which he had stored his mind
for Sunday, spoke in bitter tones to the
dog, but his forcible language failed to
move the animal an inch.
The clergyman's friend who had accom-
panied him from the city came in sight by
this time, and seeing the reverend Rentle-
man in tree, he asked him what was the
matter: Don't you see this COMPOUNDED
dog which has freed me?" shouted the
dominic in reply, and the merchant, az he
approached nearer, did zee and hear the
animal and called to him to Get OUT
The dog didn't ''get out" however, but
gave an ominous groWl, which carried won
derful power with It. ..Shall I shoot the
brute2" asked the merchant Of the clergy

A QUEER BOY.

He does IT like study, it "weakens his eyes,"
But the right sort" of book will insure sur.
prise.
Let it be about Indians, pirates or bears,
And he's lost for the day to all mundane affairs;
BY sunlight or gaslight his vision is clear.
Now, isn't it queer?
At thought of an GRAND, he's tired as hound
Very weary of life, and of ''tramping acound;'
But if there band or u circus in sight,
He will follow it gladly from morning till night
The Snowman will capture him some day, fear,
For he is SO queer.
If there's work in the garden, his head 'aches to
split"
And his back is SO lame that he cant liz n
bit''
But mention baseball. and he's CURED very soon:
And hell dig for a woodcock the whole after
noon.
Do you think he plays possum"? He seems
quite sincere;
But-isa't he queer?

party were within about one-quarter of

party were within about one-quarter of a
mile of the camp.
The warriors in ambush dashed out from
their hiding phase. and spreading out from
of escape towards the hills. The head men
opened fire on the Gros Ventres and in few
moments they were completely surrounded
on all sides. Realizing that the only chance
OF escape was to stand off their foes till
night-fall. they immediately fattened them
rifle pits with their knives and repel the
advance of the enemy with their rifles.
They were on a small elevation when the
fight began and here they took their stand.
The rattle of musketry was terrific and a
clowd of dust was raised around the
doomed men by the misdirected bullets of
their assailants.
The circle soon began to contract and
several men were killed on both sides. The
besiged arranged themselves in a circle with
their faces to the foe. There were thirty
four Of them. They were armed with repeat
ing rifles and had good supply of ammuni-
their horses and adopted the tactics
OF the besieRed, lying upon the ground and
closing up gradually. Above the din OF
battle could be heard the weird death song
OF the Gros Ventures. But they never offered
to surrender. They knew their time had
come and were ready to sell their lives as

excavating little trenches for their bodies
before being rendered helpless, and lay in
such position that it was impossible to
shoot them except through the head as they
took sight at the ever encroaching enemy,
One by one the guns were silenced till only
hve Indians remained to continue the fight.
But they held the enemy at bay till night
closed in and ended the unequal contest.
During the night these five Indians made
their escape to the hills, but only two ever
reached their own tribe again. Three per-
ished from their wounds in the Sweet Grass
hills, the fourth lived but a short time.
while the fifth, though covered with scars
still lives, the sole survivor Of the great
Indian battle.
Next day the half-breed stripped the
dead Indians of their guns and left them
where they lay. The following summer a
party of Americans engaged in making the
boundary survey between the United States
and British America discovered their re-
mains. There were twenty-nine skeletons
lying in small circle in the rifle pits which
were dug during the battle. No bird nor
beast had molested them and the remains
resembled very much those OF Egyptian
mummies. the flesh and skin having dried
upon the bones. In the center of the oroun
was fully bus Of of empty metallic
cartridge shells. which was regarded as n
nttlnR monument to the departed braves.

Wounds by Small-bore Guns.
[Ueber Land und Mcer.l


 The adoption of small-bore rifles by most European countries--Switzerlan now employing z, 5 and 6 millimeters (25 mn. being very nearly an inch) France 8, Belgium z, G. instead of the hitherto universally used II mm.- leads to the consideration of what the effect on the human body will be of the increased penetration of these bullets, which can pass through iron plates of l2 nm. (nearly half an inch) and deal blanks of l.l meter (about yard) in thickness-a penetration five or six times as great as that of the projecties hitherto employed in the German army.
 Professor Paul Bruns, the well-known surgeon of Tubingen, has published q work which attempts to give an experi- mentally scientific answer to this i'm portant question. His experiments were made with the Belgian Mauser rifle, and the conclusion he has come to must be considered in all respects satis- factory from q human point of view. He asserts that the hydraulic pressure in the wound is much diminished, part ly on account of the spring action of the thin steel coating, which surrounds the soft lead core of the new projectile so that the extensive tearing of the soft tissues of the body, such as the old lead bullets used to cause-and which often gave rise to the erroneous idea that eX- plosive bullets were employed-will not occur.
 The new projectile which, at 100 meters passes through four or five limbs and smashes up three thigh bones placed one behind the other, makes a smooth cylindric opening, of less diameter than itself through flesh. The wound where the bullet enters is generally of less diameter than itself the exit is a slit or star-shaped opening with torn edges about 6 to s nm. wide. At a longer range, 1000 to ,500 yards, the bones are not shattered, but bored through in a clean hole or channel. Hence, according to Dr. Burns, the chances of healing bullet wounds will, notwithstanding the much greater eff ciency oi the new rife, be much more favorable than in the case of the larger bores. So it would appear that in all cases progress in the art of war leads to the diminution of human suffering.

LOCAL BRIEFS.

The Fire Department has decided to join the procession on Memorial Day and assist in decorating the soldiers graves.
 A regular parade will be given by Company tomorrow night, in final practice for the exercises of Memorial Day, when salutes are to be fired in genuine military fashion.
 Captain Andre had his company out in full uniform last night for drill, on the Lemon Hotel parade grounds. Marked improvement in tactics and mangvering is noticeable with every successive drill.
 We promised not to publish him, and he gave us, accordingly, fair quota of the dozen or more ripe peaches picked within two days past in his own garden, in the very heart of Phoenix. He has been gathering plumbs for six weeks past. Figs have furnished forth his family breakfast table these many days. We can give his name, and locate the garden for any one who wishes to prac- tically satisfy himself that Phoenix is the center of early and delectable fruit age.

HE WAS A GENIUS.' But His Nemesis at Last Overlook Him. The Gun Was Loaded But
 Missed. Jose SalaZar Finds Himself Rather Suddenly at the End of
 His Tether

Jose Salazar ran against his Nemesis recently, in the form of Dr. Tornell del Garcia.
 For several weeks past there have been reported to the officers q number of petty thefts perpetrated in the sub urbs surrounding Phoenix. Houses would be entered at night, or when the owners were absent pieces of fjewelry and small sums of money would be taken to be seen no more by their sorrowing owner.
 One night last week lady living west of the city awoke in the night to find a burglar in her house, and, as she was alone at the time, seized her husbands revolver and took a couple of shots at the fellow, unfor- tunately missing him.
 Again, on Saturday night, q lady liv- ing close to the river-and also alone at the time-awoke in the night and was mortified to perceive man bending over her. She cried out at once for the fellow to go away and, as he stepped back, reached under her pillow, drew q revolver from there and fired. The burglar fled again, but he left clue to his identity this time, for the bullet passed through his hat knocking it from his head.
 The hat was picked up the next morn ing, and identified as the property of Jose Salazar, Mexican employed on Redwine's ranch, south of the river Salazar, however, did not return to Redwine's after his adventure of Satur- day night, and despite the watch that was kept, the officers could get no idea as to his whereabouts.
 Tuesday afternoon City Marshal Blankenship found in a local jewelry store silver watch belonging to ex- Postmaster Mowrey, that had been stolen by Salazar during one of his mid. night raids, and last night Dr. Tornell del Garcia, returning to his Washington street drug store from a visit to a pa tient, found the place open and lusty Mexican within helping himself to i'm ported cigars. Dr. Garcia seized the in- truder at once, and marched him down street towards the City Prison, holding on to his prisoner despite the latter $ prOtestations of innocence, until the ar rival of Marshal Blankenship.
 The officer marched the burglar to jail, where he was at once recognized from the description given as Salazar, the very much wanted burglar. He was searched, Dr. Garcia's gold watch and a number of imported cigars being found upon him, after which he was taken to the County Jail, where Deputy Sheriff Briggs locked him up on the charge of burglary.
 Almost before he could awake from his guilty slumber yesterday morning, a portentous indictment for burglary stared him in the face and Jose Salazar, whose name also appears in our regular court proceedings today, had learned what the grand jury of Maricopa county thought of him.

BY the WAY.

q sad case came to the notice OF the
board of control yesterday. Ii was re-
ported that a family out in the SUBURBS
of st. Anthony hill was starving, and
que OF the board went out to in
Yestigate. The father, an old resi-
dent, has been out Of employ
ment since reduced circumstances
have came upon him, and the
mother at first Indignantly refused as
sistance. There are a number of chill
dren in the family. and when the com
missioner represented that her ScrupleS
should hot weigh as against their neres-
sites, the mother broke down. Fuel
and provisions were at once sent out,
and the head of the household will be
given employment in one of the city de-
partmentS.
a funny little incident occurred at the
Newmarket last evening during the
presentation of The GondOlierS." In
the second act an arch is set in the
prospective. The Duke of Plaza-I orc
with his wife and daughter were on,
when there appeared IN the arcn one of
the employees, hat on and in
civilian suit, perusing a slip
of paper. Nearly every one
''caught on and Uttered. The EN-
pIoye also got on and disappeared
with a hop and skip. 1t was but mo-
mentary, as the action of the play went
on. but it was funny. 1t seems the at
tache in question was in search of the
property man with bill. about which
he was somewhat warm in the region of
the collar. He had forgotten that the
arch was set the depth of the stage
and thought he was behind scene. He
is all old theateI man and doesn't often
do such things, and it is safe to say WILL
not again. lie doe MT like to hear
about it, and, as he is good fellow,
readers win be left to guess his identity.
