AUDITOR AND CLERK.
A Little Question OF Veracity Where
a Large Sum is Involved.


Mr.. M. G. Hanna, formerly chic
clerk In the Office of Auditor Cooper
of the Arkansas Pass railway was ar
rested and brought before Judge King
on information lodged against him by
Mr. Cooper, charging contempt of
court In not surrendering certain vou-
cheers alleged to be in his possession,
to the master in chancery, Fleming.
Hanna was placed on the stand and
sworn. He stated he did not have
the vouchers. They were de-
stroyed at Mr.. COoper's sugges-
ton, as they contained evidence
he said, of mismanagement. by the
receivers. They were vouchers for
nearly $4,000.
This testimony Mr.. Cooper denies
and stated he made the affidavit in
order to get the documents.
Hanna was released on $500 bond +,
and ordered to bring the papers in
court today or show cause why he
should not be committed for con-
tempt.
This morning MIR. Hanna appeared,
represented by an attorney. He still
declared he mad destroyed the miss
ing papers, and could not produce
them. He was sent to Jail for two
days, and Judge King says he would
have been fined had ne not been only
q salaried employee.
Mr.. Hanna took his sentence grace
fully, and after consultation with his
lawyer, went to Jail. Sheriff Mccall
giving him front room in the jail
building.

Medical View of Broken Heart"
From the London Lancet.
That severe mental distress or fright
sometimes produces physical disease,
and occasionally even death, is an adj
mitted fact, althor gn the way in
which it acts has hiluerto been but
little studied. In order in some meas
ure to supply the deficiency in our
knowledge regarding this matter, DR..
G. Bassi has recently made a nun Der
of observations on animals which APP
parenly died in consequence of cap
ture. Birds, moies and dog which

suggested by DR.. Dassi is that the

the due nutrition of the tissues in
such a way as to give rise the forma-

with in some infectious diseases. In
support of this view he points out
that Schulz has found parenchyma-
tious degeneration in persons dead
from acute delirium, and that Zenker
round hemorrhages in the pancreas in
persons who had died suddenly; he
refers also to some we'll known act
concerning negroes in a state of slav-
cry and to the occasional occurrence
of jauudice after fright. He hopes
that these hints may Induce medical

In ali unknown Grave.

James McClear, native of Illinois,
aged 81 years, died very suddenly at
the saloon Of Scion Peck at about 4
O'Clock yesterday morning. It seems
that the old man, who was without
any friends or relatives in this part of
the country, had been sleeping in a
shed in the rear Of the saloon aud
living from hand to mouth for the
last two or three months. On Satur-
day he complained Of severe pain at
the pit Of the stomach, and Mr.. Peck
went to Muller's drug store and pro-
cured some medicine for him which
relieved him for time. Mr.. Peck
kindly gave him bed in his place
Saturday night and remained up
with him to the time of his death.
At about o'clock in the morning he
made a cup of coffee for the old man
which he drank, and while Mr.. Peck
was making cup for himself the old
man died. Mr. Peterson, the under
taker, was Immediately notified Of his
death as was also Mr.. Ostreicher.
The undertaken took charge of the
body and buried it in the Potter's
field ct 11:30 yesterday.
In the meantime Coroner Talbot
had been notified and made &C
quainted with all of the facts in the
case and did not think it necessary to
hold an inquest.
The deceased crossed the plains in
40 with the other brave spirits of
those days and assisted to open the
way for toe settlement of the Pacific
Coast. He has lived at Wells and
other parts Of the county for the last
twenty years, and was respected by
the people where he lived as an hon
orable, upright mao. It seems too
bad that one who braved the dangers
of "trip across the plains" should
sleep the last sleep in an unmarked
grave.
Life's ftful fever over may he sleep
we'll.

A surprise was in store for them.
The other night the household and q
few guests were assembled in the music
room. One of them, q lady of great
ability as pianist, sat down at the in
strument and began to play. The muf-
fed effect was more noticeable than
ever. Somebody suggested that an in
quest be held on the piano. Then one
of the ladies without more ado lifted the
cover of the piano-and-well, there
was panic.
A big rat jumped out from among the
strings and galloped across the room
1t escaped. of course, for everybody was
too much astonished to attack it. There
were screams and great leaping upon
chairs. When everybody cooled down
the inquest proceeded It was found
that the rat had made comfortable
nest of paper among the wires. The rat
had evidently keen sense Of the fitness
of things as well as love Of music, for
its nest was found to be made of selec-
tions from Beethovens sonatas. with a
few scraps of Chopin. There was not a
trace of Annie Rooney" or comic opera
in the nest. How the rat got there. why
it staid there, and what the effect of a
u 1sical training upon the rat is likely
to be are still unanswered.-Pittsburg

saluting with the Nose.


The junction of noses is 30 general,
and described as 80 forcible in Africa
and Oceanica, as to have given rise to
a fanciful theory that it had occa-
stoned the iattening of the noses Of the
peoples. But in the accounts Of many
of the tribes of the Dark Continent and
of the islanders of New Zealand, Ro-
touma, Tahiti, Tonga, Hawaii and other
groups, the essential action does not
seem to be that of either pressure or
rubbing. but of mutual smelling. It is
true that the travellers generally call it
rubbing, but the motion and pressure
are sometimes no greater than that Of
the muzzles of two dogs making or ce-
menting acquaintance. The pressure
and rub are secondary and emphatic.
The juncture only means the comph-
ment, "You smell very good!"
1t is illustrated in the Navigator
group, when the noses of friends are
saluted with long and hearty rub and
the explanatory words, Good! very
good; ! am happy nowr' The Calmucks
also go through suggestive pantomime
of greeting, in which they creep on their
knees to each other and then join noses,
as much as possible like the two dogs
before mentioned In the Navigator ISL
ands only equals mutually rub their
noses. The inferior rubs his own nose
on and smells the superior's hand.-Gar-
rick Mallery in Popular Science Monthly.

Cats Cause Ringworm.

''The cat is the principal promoter Of
