and will allow no man to malign me or mine.
John w. Mackay's history might be
termed a romance in real life He was
born in Dublin fifty-seven years ago, and
when quite young left Ireland for America.
The California gold excitement was at its
height, and he pushed on to the Pacific
coast. There he met Flood, O'Brien and
Fair. These four Joined forces, and later
on became wealthy and famous as the
Bonanza Kings" 1t was ia the west that
Mackay also met the lady who is now his
wife. The subsequent ambitions, achieve
ments and doings Of the family are so well
known that they need not be recounted
here. As for the Mackay- BOnynge quarrel,
it may have eliminated and closed in the
recent fist fight, or it may be that it will
take on a fresh and more furious phase
That time alone can decide.

she learned in 1889 that she had secured a
divorce, though her husband had never
mentioned the subject 10 her or changed
his conduct in any particular
1t soon appeared that their son, William
Flack, had presented the papers to her,
and accepting his statement that IL was an
ordinary business transaction she had
signed them, thus charging her husband
with adultery and consenting TO a suit for
divorce.
On March 81, 1890, both the Flscks were
convicted Of conspiracy and sentenced
the father 10 four months Imprisonment
and a fine of $500, and the son TO the same
fine and two months Imprisonment.
They appealed. the higher court granted
new trial, which has not yet taken place,
and their lawyers think the death Of the
injured wife and mother ends it. The son
remained with the mother the LAST few
months OF her life, they were thoroughly
reconciled. and her last act was 10 kiss
him and extend forgiveness. Thus ends

The recent death of Mrs. Mary Ellen
Flack at her home in New York city has
revived popular interest in a painful and

fraudulent divorce, the conspirators being
her own husband and son. The public in

Famous Canine Breeds.

The collie year by year has become more
fashionable in England as a companion,
and as we follow English fashions in dogs
more closely perhaps than in anything else,
the collie has become quite pet in Amer
lea. He is, however, essentially a working
dog, and is not particularly suited TO the
part which fashion has assigned to him.
He has great aversion 10 tricks, and
doesn't like to fetch and carry. He will

Bye.Bye, Honey, I'm Gone!

Some of the Indian Territory edi-
tors are as full of romance as an egg
is full OF meat. Who else would
have ever thought of the escaping OF
gang of prisoners being invested
with such flow of soul as the follow
ing account under the above head
line:
"Thursday night, the 9th, INST.
when the wan, weary moon crept un-
der the sable heavenly bed-quilt for
a snooze, and the twinkling stars had
"douscd their glims" for the time be-
ing, seven of the unfortunate incar-
cerated in the bastile took French
leave" as it were. The whereabouts
and condition of the guards at the
moment Of the delivery is as mystic
rious as that of Moses when the illu-
mination was extinguished. There
are rumors and hints Of sealing
eye-lidS and roller skating rink, but
be that as it may, the jail-birds have
flown TO the green pastures and quiet
waters of the Chickasaws, and are
now revelllng in the inspiration OF
the glad-eyed spring. No human
obstruction marfed the accomplish
inent of their break for free range.
The manner of escape was simple.
An iron Ded-post was used to pry an
exit through the bars, and then, one
after another, seven men, with
hearts humping with hope and fear,
crawled through the breach, and ST.
lently dropped into the spectral
gloom of the high-walled Jail yard.
No challenge, or hair-lifting click of
a gun met the alert ears OF the seven
breathless fugitives. Old Morpheus
brooded over the scene. All hands
scraped hole under the plank fence
of the stockade, and bobbcd up Sc
renely on the outside, with the wide,
wide. world before them. 1t il
reasonable to suppose that no time
was lost by the seven in hieing tC
the sylvan glades of the bucolc dis
trict. The only soul left in durance
vile was juvenile descendant OF
Ham who slept away the hour OF sal
vation in AR upstairs bed-chamber.
