moon shone on bare ribs and verte-

And what was that dark thing
crouching between the gnaried and
twisted roots OF the giant elms and
that shimmering line reaching the
ghosts left arm, on which the moon

One fell, unexpected swoop, and
Aunt Trib had pounced like bird OF

thing snapped-the "ghost" lay prone
upon the earth, and triumphant
voice broke the silence of the autumn
night.

ton she stalked majestically back in
to the house, while Rich and Della,
awakened by the chain and the groans,
had witnessed the whole scene from
their bedroom window, smothered
their laughter as best they might.
Charlie appeared at the breakfast
table as il nothing had happened. The
ghostly remains had disappeared, and
when Aunt Trib preached the subject
the scapegrace did not hesitate to af-
firm most unblushingly that she must
have hud the nightmare. He played

The Neat Child

Ten months ago Mrs. Jesse Neal, OF
Boise City, gave her little boy, then
eight months Of age, to Mrs. Emerson.
The child, through starvation and
general neglect, was almost skeleton.
1t is now a fat, chubby little young
ster, and shows evidence of good treat
ment. Mr.. and Mrs. Neal came up
from Boise eight or ten days ago to
get the child, offering Mr.. and Mrs.
Emerson a mare, alleged to be worth
$40 dollars, for the care of the
child. This was not satisfactory and
the Meals left. They returned on
the 4th inst. and again made the
same proposition, but Mr.. and Mrs.
Emerson preferred the money. On
the 9Th Neal went to Emerson's,
found the child playing in the yard
and he picked it up and walked off
with it and soon he and Mrs. Neal
were on the road to Boise. Jas.
Emerson made a complaint, alleging
that Neal stole the child, forcibly,
maliciously, etc. Neal was arrested
at the Halfway House by Deputy
Sheriff Louie Suhlsen and John Car
penter and he and Mrs. Neal were
brought back. The case came be-
fore Judge Marsk last Tuesday even
ing and was prolonged until half past
one o'clock Wednesday morning.
Judge Marsk discharged the prisoner
for lack of evidence to sustain the
charge, and the parents went off to
Boise with the child, and if it is not
better treated than when they had it
before, the citizens of Boise, it is
hoped, will see that it is placed in
the care of human beings.

A FIERCE BATTLE.

A battle took place at the Carnegie
iron and steel works, near Pittsburg,
Penn, on the 9th. The trouble was
brought about by reduction of wa
ges. Pinkerton men were brought
up the Ohio river in barges to protect
the works. When the detectives at
tempted to land the workmen met
them. Both sides exchanged heavy
volleys. The strikers secured brass
cannon. A force of 1000 men also
planted cannon on the opposite side
of the river. The cannon balls splin-
tered the boats but heavy steel plates
on the inside prevented the balls
from penetrating the interior. Shot
after shot went through the port holes.
Many attempts we're made to fire the
barges by pouring barrels of oil in
the river above with the aim ofsetting
FIRE to it when it reached the barges,
which they had sprayed with oil by
means of hose. These attempts failed.
The mob then hurled dynamite bombs
against the vessels with great effect.
Three times the detectives hoisted
flag of truce, but each time it was
shot down. Towards dusk ef-
forts we're made to burn the boats
with their living freight. The Pink
ertons hung out another white flag,
and it was respected, through inau-
ence of officers of the amalgamated
society. A committee of strikers
vent aboard and agreed safe conduct
for the Pinkertons provided they left
their arms and agreed to leave the
place under guard. Seven Pinkerton
men had been killed and 20 or 80
wounded, many mortally. As the
men passed through the streets, each
il charge of two deputies, the mill
men kicked them and threw some
down. The unfortunate detectives
begged for mercy. Some had pistol
shot wounds In their heads and 9TH
ers had their eyes shot out. Several
could scarcely limp along, blood run
ming in streams down their shirts, and
they fairly yelled with pain. Fully
thirty injured men were taken to the
town hall. One had his eyes punch
ed out by an umbrella in the hands
of woman. Sand was thrown in
their eyes, Mill men struck detec-
tives over the head and shoulders, in
flicting serious and in some cases per-
haps fatal injuries. As the process
sion reached the amaIgamated asso-
citation building, the detectives had
to remove their hats and salute the
flag. When they removed their hats
men and women hit them with um-
brellas and sticks and abused them
in every way imaginable. 1t seemed
to be the determination to kill the
prisoners, and it was with greatest
difficulty that the demon-like crowd
could be restrained.
After the prisoners were released
the rioters burned the barges.
The complete list of the killed and
wounded was not obtainable at md
night. AS fas as ascertained eleven
workmen and nine detectives were
killed and eighteen workmen and
twenty-one detectives injured in the
battle. In addition to this, at least
100 detectives were seriously injured
by the strikers while on the way to
Jail.
