Trouble In the Tribe.

Last Friday there was row II
riot, rumpus, fight and foot
race in the Stonebraker family. 1t
seems that Polk (son Of the old
man)had imbibed too freely of "fire
water and undertook to clean out
the tribe. Guns and revOlycrs were
drawn and some little fighting
took place, but outsiders interfcrcd
and prevented any funeral neccssi-
ties for the present. Thcreupon
Fclty came to town and sworc out II
warrant for Polk. The Sheriff hun
ted for his man, but he was Polk
ing around somewhere and the
Sheriff did not find him, but that
evening Polk learned that the Shcr-
ilf wanted him and he hunted mp
Sheriff who took him before Squire
Goodwin for trial. Felty after hav-
ing him arrested refused to testify
against him. Polk declined to give
any evidence either way, as he said
he was not running it. He was held
in 800 bail by the Justice to
await the action Of the Grand Jury.
The Sheriff was taking him TO jail,
but Felty CATER having him arrest
ed) skirmished around and procur-
ed bail for him to keep out Of
Jail. DR.. Manown went his security
as he is working for him, so peace
and happiness again relgns supreme
in the tribe, and all is quiet along
the Potomac.

Mummies ronnd In California.

There is in San Francisco n CO..
lection of newly found mummieS,
forming one of the most remarkable
discoveries ever made in America.
The mummies differ from Egyptian
ones in that they are generally quite
naked, only few having II loose
covering, and they have evidently
undergone process of Cmbalming.
The flesh is SO thoroughly dried that
it resembles parchment, and the
corpseS are very light. The mum
mics were found by party Of gold
seekers i'm one Of the numerous
branches ofthc Sierra Madre Noun
tainS, near the ella i'm Arizona.
One day the gold seekers discovered
cave. the entrance TO which was
closed with kind Of cement very
hard to break. Forcing Uo entrance
the men found themselves in kind
of ante-chambor, thirty feet long,
hewed out of the living rock. This
led into II large hall, in which were
lying number of dried up corpscs,
The discoveries at onca set to work
to transport the mummics to the
nearest railway station, in spite OF
the opposition of the Apache
Indians, who soon heard of the
discovery, and considered tho re-
mains to be those of their gods.
All the mummics were safely re-
moved to San Francisco, where they
excited great interest in scientific
circles. Chicago Herald.

Correspondence Of the Argus
An excursion train from the west
enroutc to Boston had a hard time
to get through the "Buckwheat
county" Thursday morning. At
this place it collided with the
"helper" and shook things up bad
ly. 1t seems that the operator at
the West End failed TO notify the
one at the East End that n train
was in the tunnel and so the switch
man failed TO 81 le-track the helper
As the morning was very foggy the
engineer Of the helper failed TO see
that he was on the main track and
stopped, allowing the passenger
train TO crash into him. Both en-
gines were badly damaged but none
Of the passengers were hurt. Joe
Ellis, engineer, and Jas. Silbaug,
fireman, Of the helper were hurt
bnt not seriously. The lamps in
the passenger cars were all shattered
and the passengers thrown from
their seats. After this the train
proceeded to Rowlcsburg and while
passing a switch there the switch
man opened it too coon, throwing
the two hind cars from the track
and had Vt not been for an engine
standing by they would have over
turned. The hind coach was left
behind NO one was hurt much.
but all were terribly shaken up and
think that the y. g. o., like Jordon.
is hard road to travel.

Correspondence Of Argus.
During The campaign of 1888, a
report was generally circulated here
10 the effect that l.. i. White. the
democratic candidate for Clerk of
the Circuit Court, was so addicted
TO drinkingintoxicating liquors and
so unfit TO fulfil the duties of that
office, that his brother would not
support him. This report being
circulated here, by republican who
was supposed to be upright and hon
orqble, caused number of demo
Gratis TO either vote for republicans
or not vote at all. 1t has since been
shown up that Mr.. White does not
use intoxicating liquors at all and
has not for number Of years, and
that his brother had no vote at that
election, and consequently could not
vote for any one. VIII Mr. John
w. Watson deny that he was not in
directly responsible for the circula-
ton Of that report? Let him do so
and we will probably have something
more to say in regard to the use of
such disreputable methods to inhu-
ence voters.

A Fish That Builds a Nest.

\ Chinese fish constructs nest. not
of grass or seaweed, but of frothy Sc
cretions. Tie male prepares bubbles
in the air by sucking them in and
strengthening them with mucous mat
ter from his mouth. Then he brings
them into the water, and expels them
to construct nest. The female enters
this cavity, and lays her eggs there.
Tie eggs sink to the bottom Of the
water, and the male is then obliged to
raise them into the nest He appears
to be unable to carry them in his
mouth. so he swallows a large supply
of air, desccnds beneath the eggs, and
violently expels the air accumulated
This air, finely divided by the fringes
OF the gills, escapes in the form of two
jets OF gaseous powdec, which cnvelop
the eggs and raise them to the surface.
