BRAVE DEED OF A GIRL.
How Sixtecn-Year-Old Miss Dragged
 Panther to Death.

Panther to Death.
 A most remarkable story of frontier bravery, the heroine being Miss Pauline Collier, Q young lady sixteen years of age, comes from ChildreSs, a new town in the Pan-haudle country, this State, says a letter from San Antonio, Tex. Miss Collier is pupil in the Childress district school, and although she lives ten miles from that town she makes the trip back and forth each day ca a spirited Texan pony. One morning last week she left home at an early hour and was riding leisurely along when she cspied an enormous panther imIne- diately ia front of her, crouched in the short prairie grass, rcady for fatal spring. With admirable presence of mind Miss Collier seized the lariat hanging at her saddle-bow, and with great dexterity tlle animals neck was encireled with the deadly coil. At word from its mistress the pony which Miss Collier was riding sprang away at a gallop, dragging the savage but help less monster to its dcGth. UPc1 be coming satisfied that tho animals life was extinct the young lady undid the rope from the poIamcl cf her saddle, leaving tho panther stretched upon the prairie behind her. Preceding on her way to school she met john Perry in company with several cowboys and re- lated the story. They went to the spot where the dead panther lay and pro- cee3ed to Gcnude it cf it3 kiLc, which will bo r22de into Q robe and presented to tac young lady. Inc pG1tfer weighed two ky.3dTed and ten poc@;.5.

POINTS FOR DR.. GARRISON.
Witnesses Tell How DIR. Baird Had Re
peatedly Threatened the Defendant.

peatedly Threatened the Defendant.
WHEELING, May 1s-The third week of the
Garrison murder trial opened this morning
by the defense putting witnesses on the
stand to prove the character and reputa-
ton of the defendant. John Lashley, an
employe of the City Gas Board, testified as
an eye witness to the encounter between
DIR. Baird and DR.. Garrison when DR.. Baird
had both of his eyes blacked. The witness
said that DR.. Baird called DR.. Garrison a
"nigger -" and after the fight went to
the private office of the gas board, where
Garrison had been taken and said, "I'n kill
you yet you" The only reply DIR. Gar
rison made was, "What's that, DOCTOR DR..
Baird was then taken away by the witness
and his sons. Witness knew of no attempt
made by the deceased to put his threat into
execution afterwards. DR.. Baird was very
much excited at the time and was bleeding
from the blows he received.
In the afternoon Councilman A. G. Had
Itch testified that one day in January DR..
Baird passed DR.. Garrison, while the latter
was seated in a buggy, talking to the wit
ness, and called the defendant harsh name.
Garrison attempted to draw a pistol, drop
ping his rein and putting his hand in his
pocket. The witness said he expected
trouble and at once took steps to prevent it.

SIR JOHNS CHINESE POLICY.

The Canadian Premier Refuses to Restrict
nIongolian Immigration.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
OTTAWA, May 1s-Sir John Macdonald in
formed a labor delegation to-day, who were
demanding increased restriction upon Chi
nese immigration, that in view of the efforts
the Government were making to secure in
creased trade relations with China, it would
be preiudicial to the interests of China to
pass any legislation which might raise up q
feeling of hostility in China against Canada,
as had been the result off the action of the
United States in excluding Chinese from that
country. For the present the tax, therefor,
would remain as it was, $50 per capita, which
was imposed upon all Cinnamon landing in
the Dominion.
Sir John further stated that nearly every
Chinaman now arriving in Canada made his
way across the border into the United States
and therefore the country suffered nothing
through the alleged emigration from China
to the Dominion.

Is in fever of excitement, business sus-

account of the rich find of lead and zinc one

covery dates back to last November,
when George Tunnel had hole
drilled for water, and being on the top of a
high range of hills he expected to have to
go deep for the water. He was very much
surprised when at the depth of 100 feet he
drilled through 615 foot vein of galena
and jack of the best quality.
A local company was organized who let
the contract at once to Amos & McAdams to
sink a shaft by z feet. They have just
reached the mineral The last shot brought

the expectations of the most sanguine.

Saturdays yacht race at Davenport
wasn't success. At 2:30 the three com.
peting boats put out from Davenport, but
the Caprice put back. having snapped her
port mainstay. The injury was repaired
but sail had scarcely been hoisted before
the starboard stay gave way. The Lucy
had also suffered frCm broken stay, but
was fixed up and had made start with
the Sarsho before the second injury to the
Caprice was repaired. The Lucy crossed
the line st 3:17 and the Sarsh crossed
three'seconds later. l, was practically
perfectly even start Honors betwe e n the
TWO sloops were about even down to the
turning buoy. but on the return trip the
Lucy showed her light wind merits by grad
ually,pushing ahead and reaching the
starting line at 4:40. The Sarsh arrived
q. 4;42 Lucy's time, %, the Sarsh's,
1:23. Owing to the extreme lightness of
the wind. which had promised better
things earlier in the afternoon, the course
was not sailed the second time and the
race therefore does not count. All bets
are off
As soon as the Caprice had been put in
sailing condition she mlneuvered for the
starting point and went over the course
mile or so in the rear of the other two
boats. Her starting time was 1851. her
finishing. 4:56. Time, 1904. As in the
previous race, the Lucy was sailed by
Walter johnson and the Sarsh by Charles
Faulkner; DR.. R. W. Hill sailed the Ca
