PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 15.-The story
al the selection of the poison alleged to
have been used in the execution of the
Homestead plot was learned from an au-
thOritative source. As has been stated,
the design was not to cause the death
of any of the non-union men, but to
produce snch an epidemic of sickness
an to create a panic among them,
and thus effect a stampede from the
works A prolonged discussion ensued
among the conspirators as to the kind
of poison to be used and it was finally
decided to consult a druggist The
-c0aspirators represented that they
wanted to disable n pugiIist so that he
could not win a fight in which he was

wanted the drug to act quickly or
otherwise. 1t was stated that they
preferred something that would take
eject gradually, so as not to arouse
suspicion The conspirators were told
that a certain preparation could be
made that would gradually under
mine the strength. and If persisted in,
would knock out the victim in three or
four days The form u!a of the prepar-

seemed in such deadly earnest about it,
though the thought of the wife and
Rio Pecos went to my heart, and the
sight of the Old Mans hopeless eyes
moved my sympathies great deal more
than CORDS loud lamentations.
Corb was our Adonis; a big, straight
young fellow, with hair like curly corn
silk, a way that took with all the
women. and a rowing fancy. and
knew he was signing to think Of the
feminine worlds he might have con.
quered during the Christmas festivities;
but the Old Man-it was easy to guess
that his faithful heart was very sore
for somebody in particular.
We three had been drifting sheep for
some six weeks down toward the Devil
river. The spot we were now on had
plenty of sotol, but no water anywhere
near. Sheep will live very well, you
know, without water, and get fat ii
they have sotoi; so our Mexican hauled

was considered unpatriotic. 1t is, NO

were all extremely patriotic. and. the
water supply CHANGING to be just then
very low, there hadn't been a face
washed in camp for a week. The work
of sheep-camp is killingly hard. and
it is dirty. Travelling as we must. no
man carries more clothing than he car

dirty or clean. whole or ragged. His
good looks lay in his lines and proper
lions. and were ineffaceable; but the
poor Old Man-never a beauty at his
be.t-grew simply hideous. He had,
with his clear, honest, iight-gray eyes,
stiff black beard which. if left un-
shaven for two weeks, transformed him
into a feroc3ous brigand.
We had been hard at it slashing sotol
all day. and were sitting. unusually
tired. ragged and dirty. around the
campfire when Corb filed his protest.
Boys said 1, after the manner of
q Santa Claus, ''whatI1 you have for

"A big bath-tnb full of water, a half
