Turner Co. Herald: Two sons of
Gustav Anderson, aged about 16 and
Ii years, met an untimely death
last Sunday by descending into. a
well containing choke damp. The
boys had been digging a well ard
reached the depth of 4c feet. The
eldest boy went down to e if any
water had come into the well, and
as nothing could be heard from him
the younger brother slid down the
rope, while another boy who was
present ran to the house for Mr.. An
derson. Lights of various kinds
| were let down into the well, but
they were quickly extinguished.
Hooks were procured and the bodies
were brought to the surface, but life
| was extinct. The funeral took place
Wednesday. Mr.. Anderson and
family have the sympathy Of all in
their sad bereavement.

THEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE.
Navv-Yard Workmen Struggle with
General Tracy's Reform Board.

Navy-Yard Workmen Struggle with
General Tracy's Reform Board.
From tie New York Times, 1eW.
Thirteen grizzled laborers, whose hands
were far more accustomed to the sledge-
hammer than to the pen, went through
all sorts of agonies at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard yesterday in endeavoring to wrestle
with the questions propounded by Secre-
tary Tracy's reform board. 1t was anovel
experience for them, and they didn't like
1t at all but each man stuck to his papers
bravely. Two of the candidates wanted
to be shipwrghts, six aspired to the Office
of master joiner. and five struggled for the
place of shipfitter 1t was the hardest
days work of their lives.
The oral examination was held first,
before the full board, the questions being
purely of practical nature. Nobody was
asked to solve abstruse problems in
mathematics, but simply to tell, in q
straight-from -the shoulder way, what he
knew about the business end of his pro-
fession. In this respect the examination
was entirely satisfactory to the examines
as well as to the examiners In the alter
noon the written examinations were held,
each candidate being given as much time
as he wanted. The present incumbents of
the places named were prominent among
the candidates. They are Master Ship
wright Ira Lille, Master Shipftter
Thomas Rourke and Master Joiner An
drew Childs.
The appearance among thecandIdates of
Quarterman Arthur j. Boyle as q COM
petitor for the position of Master Ship
filter was subject of considerable COM
ment at the yard yesterday. Boyle was
removed from his position as shipfitter on
Cruiser, No. Z, some months ago and his
place given to Thomas Rourke, with
whom he now completes to regain the
place from which, he says, he was UNI
justly deposed, There are over 100 appli-
cants,, all told, and the general belief is
that the board must hasten matters if it
hopes to get its final returns by June I,
when the new men must take their places.

1t appears that the experiment of en-
listing Indians for the Army is not fail

for the Sixth Cavalry has been organized,

another is practically complete. The

the Shoshone, Arrapahoe, Apache and

In fassss1sEg Game Of Draw with a

IN fntt4t9thig Game Of Draw with u
simple Dakota Hayseed.
II was about ten years ago that took a
trip through the West with n party of
Kansas City men, says a writer In the
Times of that city. Several weeks were
spent in Dakota in the summer of 1881
One day the four members of our party
were driving along trail q few miles from
Nankton, when we espied "dugout' or
to the north Of the trail. We decided to
alight and have q chat with the settler
who was seated on the roof of his humble
abode with his feet ON the ground. To
the unintiated this would seem strange
but these houses are four-hfths under
ground, and contain about t5 worth of
lumber two rooms and thousand cent?
pcdes.
Upon the invitation Of Mr. Jones, the
settler, we entered his abode, where he in
troduced us TO his wife. Brown, one of
our party suggested right in the midst of
our conversation on the CROPS that we
play a game of seyen-up. The scheme
met with approval, and we played several
games. Jones didn't seem to know much
about the game. After awhile another of
our party-pll call him Johnson-leaned
over to me and said: Jim, do you reckon
this hayseed could have a dollar or two
about him ?' IL wasn't long before john
son asked Mr.. Jones if he ever played
poker Jones said: wal, gentlemen,
do play now an then, and wouldn't mind
dealin' few hands o poker" They be-
gan playing penny ante and the old
man won about dollar at it. didn't
play, but Johnson, who is now q United
states Senator, put up good game gem
orally, and did not like to be beaten, even
for dollar.
He proposed making jackpot. It was
made. No one could open IL without n
pair of Jacks or better. Three deals were
made before any one could open it. John
son finally said: CAS- 1t was progressive
he had to have at least pair of kings"
lie bet 50 and Jones raised him 81, but
the others dropped out of the game.
S'manthy, the settlers wife, saw So on
would quit foolin' with them keards.
Jones said: Never mind, old woman,
two pairs is purity good" SO the betting
went on until Jones had about SIS on the
table. "Wait a minute" he said, "till
get some more stuff, and with that he
showed his five cards down in his pocket,
went to corner of the dugout, raised q
plank of the floor and extracted tin can,
from which he took roll of bills as big
as my arm. Seating himself he laid $50
on the board, and as Johnson met it and
raised him he did likewise for johnson,
until finally the latter put his last dollar
of $500 on the board and "calledp Jones'
who promptly showed four aces to John
sons three kings and pair of fives and
picked up the 800. We all Clipped in
topay Johnson's fare back to Kansas City.

These reserved lands lie along the eastern or

This is the only eastern section In the United

can be raised in time to catch the highest

Much OF this land is owned by the Florida

being navigated by steamboats,.
Improved transportation facilities and de-

The life, the adventure, the character of

once more with that glad eNultant cry
His arrivals true to Poll,'

pity, for 10 detract from the Oft
