TIE DYING PINES.

How the Worm is Produced That Doeth the
Mischief
Editor of The Tines
In late issue of your paper | notice you
made some illusions to the strange and I'M
accountable destruction Of pine forests in
different sections Of the State. The pine
timber killed IS a general thing. Is not val
liable. and the killing is done by small worms.
4 very small back bug deposits its eggs
thicker than fddlers in Lunenburg between
the bark and the wood Of the pine which
maketi the worm that doeth the mischief.
Hundreds o. acres OF old-feld pines have
been killed this season In this county. If the
bugs do not attack our woods pines they may
''chaw' as much as they please on the Others.

Is 1t a Case of Contempt :?

Haley, Idaho, recently sent papers Of
attachment on Charles Hussey's
Morning group of mines at MuIlan to
Mr.. Argyle, under Sheriff at the time.
for service, the papers coming through
Spokane law firm. The claim was
for $3.50 in favor of E. S. Jeffray &
Co Of New York, and Oliver Durant,
and was against Warren Hussey, dat
ing back to Salt Lake in 1873. The
under Sheriff brought the papers to
the Press office for the purpose of
advertising a Shsriffs Sale, but the
publisher of the Press would have
nothing to do with the advertising
unless the cash was paid down before
the type was set up, fully recognizing
the illegalitv of the proceed' G and
the possibility of contempt OF court.
Besides the papers seemed to be wo>
fully defective. The fact that these
lawyers refuse to recognize the juris-
dicion Of the Court in fis appoint,
ment of Receive Dug hit to be matt. I

A MINE ACCIDENT.
Three Men Injured At the North Star
Mine,

Three Men Injured At the North Star
Mine.
At noon yesterday an accident oc.
Cured at the North Star mine, on the
East Fork Of Wood River, by which
William Kesier, the engineer on shift,
and Nels. Peterson and Dave Ma
honey, two miners, were seriously IN
jured.
Peterson, Nahoney and another
miner having got aboard the skip to
come to dinner, rang the bell. The
skip started slowly at FIRST, then at
great speed. The three miners were
ut once satisfied something was wrong,
and prepared to get out Of the skip
when it should reach the level where
the engine is, 700 feet under ground.
Peterson and Mahoney endeavored to
Jump out, one on each side. In do
ing SO one was nearly scalped, the
other sustained severe wound in the
leg. The third man braced himself
on the edge of the skip and dumped
himself into the ore chute, thus es-
Gaping uninjured, except for few
slight bruises.
The skip did not stop at the level,
however; but kept on going past the
trolly to the drum and from there
damned against the wall of the sta.
ton, breaking the steam pipe.
The engineer was found promo on
his back, unconscious, his arms up in
air. His right arm to the shoulder
and his left arm to the elbow were
literally cooked, shreds Of flesh hang
ing loose. When lie came to he said
that he could not say whether he
heard the bell ring or not. He mus
have fallen before the pipe burst, 0,
his face and b. adj would have bee,
scal;cd.
Last summer Mr.. kesler had al
epilep,ic ait. For this reason it il
supposed that, as he opened the throt
tie, yesterday, he fell in fit and
dropped to the floor. The skip
weighing two to three tons, ane
freighted with three men-ascenteo
the shaft unche cked, and wa,
drawn on to the drum and thrown
against the wall, breaking the steam
pipe. kesler, being prone on hi
back, his arms extended toward tn,
pipe, was burned as described.
The men will be cared for at tn,

Grim Joke Of q Prince.

Russian newspapers are telling a
curious story, the scene of which is laid
in the little city of Artynj, Caucasia.
Prince David Kertischatfs, who resided
there fell sick and died, according to|
the testimony and certificates of his phy-l
sicians. tssS,.
Preparations were made for most
gorgeous funeral. The Prince, dressed
in the brilliant uniform of the CaucasianI
troops, was laid in state in an open coffin
During the progress of the ceremonies
while the priest was bestowing upon hlm|
the "kiss of FAREWELL" the Prince sud-
denly sat up in his coffin and cried out, !,
Show dare you bury me without my|
orders9"
The church was at once the scene OF
wild panic, the large crowd which had
gathered at the funeral rushing from the
place in mad disorder, trampling help
less women and children under their feet
Just why the Prince had INDUCED IN
this eccentricity is not related, but it ia
said that on leaving the coffin he gave
orders for grand feast in his palace, and
so gorged himself in his delight at having
tricked his friends that he died for good
and all three days afterwards. In this
case there was no resurrection

Builder says. "a few days ago very
peculiar casualty occurred on a road i1
Northern Illinois. While a train wal
passing over piece of double track 1
walnut log, twelve feet long and nlneI
teen inches across the butt, fell from 8
car and rolled over onto the second
track, where it remained in lengthwisd
position, and midway between the railsI
a ninetsen-inch freight engine cama

structed by the log, and the pilot struck
it fair on the end. 1t split the log FROM
one end to the other, and threw one-hal1
to one side of the train and the othe1
half on the other side. The train waa
not delayed by the occurrence, and
there was no damage done to the enginf
or pilot. The split was in winding
shape on account of the grain of the logI
and was just about as it would be spli
by wedges. This may seem to some
railroad men as incredible, but we havi

The burned district covers about ten
blocks in area, six long and two wide, en-

cause OF the fire spreading so. The city
looked desolate at night, many families
camping out in the park, as the weather was
warm and they had not had time to engage
new quarters. THIS is the heaviest blow in
