trouble in Wyoming between the cattle
men and rustlers: George Welman, act

who are bent on revenging the death OF
Champion and Ray, the victims OF the
recent invading party Of cattlemen.
Welman in company with an old man
was en- route from the ranch to this
place, when about thirteen miles this
side of the ranch was assassinated from
an ambush. His companion at once
rode TO this town with the information.

Tooth Growing.

So many discoveries have been HIade
during the past fifty years that people
are beginning to cease being surprised
at man claiming any fresh power over
nature. According to q German journal,
Moscow dentist can grow teeth for us.
If this onterprising gentleman would
only grow painless teeth for us at the
outset, and save US constant agonles
from birth to death. he would not
only prove benefactor to the human
race, but to his own peculiar welfare. At
present, however, he confines his at
tenton to growing new teeth on the
ruins of old ones. which are said to grow
as firmly into the gums az natura! ones.

With the other objects, illustrating

Respecting them there is much mystery,

of them are round and 'bulIet shaped"
while others have an elongated form be
tokening a different race. Scattered
thickly among the remains were pieces
of jaw bones, prepared by manufacture
in an extraordinary fushion for which
there seems to be no reasonable account
ing. Not only the Jaws of human beings,
but those of many species o. animals
were thus treated, the bone being cut
through so as to leave the alyeo[ar part
in thin slice holding the row Of teeth.
The method followed was the same.
Evidently the work was done with saw,
which must have been SO extremely thin
and sharp that the marvel is how savaGes
could have obtained the necessary tools.
Among other curiosities are tools and
ornaments made Of copper. Some Of the
objects are of strange forms, the uses OF
