HE WAS NOT KILLED.

ford, Writes To " Friend.

WE supposed 10 ENnv9 etefu NItbeU at tb0u~
ford. Writes To y Friend.
I~NpspEspxNr readers will remember mn
account published III the carly part OF tho
fall OF the murder of d man by Il section
hand near Bedford, in Jefferson county.
From ! letter found In his pocket tho VIC
tim was supposed 10 he Y. A. Short, Of
Butte. The man accused Of the murder was
Peter Woods. Tho latter gave himself up.
claiming he aCted In sslf-d0fonsc. He wa6
tried for tho crime md sentenced to Deer
Lodge TOR life. Now comes the sequel.
When Short quit Butte lie left hin property
" the hands " y: y. Iebo, q merchant OF
that city. The Butte Miner finishes the
story;
Atter leaving Butte Short won't to Town
scnd, from which place Tebo received q let
ter Il ON him. but, owing to this fact that
short Was on tho wing, Tebo did not answer
tho letter. From Townsend Short went 70
Castle, and q letter sent 70 Townsend BY
Tebo did not reach him. About two weeks
after shorts departure from Townsend a
man WAS shot and killed ut Bedford, near
there, by Peter Woods. and in tlle dsad
mans pocket was found n letter addressed
g q. A. Short. This epistlo was signed BY
u. j. Tsbo, and the acting coroner Of the
county returned tho letter TO tho sender
with the following explanation;
|HENtA AO OOAyH "a SAA0 WAb ~ ~
Bedford to-day. He was shot by one Peter
Woods. who worked on tbs section here.
Wools gave himself mp and claims he acted
In self-dafense.
The verdict Of the ~coroner's iu,y was that
he 'came5to his death BY q Runsh0t wound
ths hands OF Peter Woods, feloniDusly.
Nothing OF value was found on his person,
A letter from yourself requesting his return
to settle some land matters iii Butte was
the only papor found"
In RELY to this information Yebo wrote
the acting coroncr asking him to send the
bill for burial to him.
After tho supposed tragedy Public Ad.
ministrator Murphy applied for and war
granted letters OF administration on the
estate, after which he had the property ap-
praised and then published A notice to cred.
ltors to come to tine front and present thell
claims against the estate. Yesterday morn
ing. however, matters took another turn
for in tho morning mail came 2 letter "
making inquiries about his property and
saying that he had not lately heard from
M 1'ebo in regard to it.
The letter WAS dated Salesville, Gallatir
county. Mr.. Tebo compared the signature
with that on q power of attorney given hin
TO be identical with each other. In
thought Of the money he had paid out Z
bury his supposed dead friend flushed
through his mind. He took the letter Il
the public administrator. who inmediatel.
instructed his private secretary to order th'
cancellation of the notice to creditors.
Now Che question arises, who was tn
man killed? From the fact that he had il
one Of his pockets q letter from Tebo nd
dressed to Short, ii would seem that hi
name was also Short and thnt he had COM
by tho letter in this y ay. However, q man
was killed and Woods is now doing time
for it, but the man wal not u. A. Short.

THE THUNDER OF ARTILLERY.

Roar of Great Guns

Earth, Air and water Convulsed by the
Roar OF Great Guns.
Here are two field battcrics-twclve
six, and nine Founders in all--hring as
rapidly as they can be reloaded. The
reports blend into Il roar, and you must
raise your voice rs II hurricane was
bowling about you. You are impressed,
but rather aggravated and annoyed.
There's u snap 10 each report like the
cracking of u great whip-a spiteful
sound which reminds you of dog fol.
lowing at your heels with his yelp yelpi
yelpl
There Is no more trying situation for
q soldier than TO be lying down In sup
port Of battery. lie Is only II few
yards In front of the guns. and he not
only feels the full shock of the concus-
sion as communicated TO the earth,
from the "kicl" of the gun, but the re-
port itself seems TO strike the spinal
column and travel up TO the back of the
head. Then, too, there is the fear of
shells exploding prcmaturcly or of
grape and canister "dribbling' TO cause
wounds or death, and II Is positive
relief to see column of tho
enemy break cover for charge.
The roar OF the guns does
not lingcr for hours after, as is
the case with mortars and siege guns,
but you find your nerves on edge and
your temper spoiled for day or two.
The men who lay in lines with battery
firing over them probably endured
more mental suffering than the enemy
at whom the guns were pointed, The
fire Of great guns is terribly trying for
the first few minutes, but this feeling
gradually gives way 10 one of awe and
sublimity,
There Is something SO terrific and ap-
palling-you feel yourself so atomless
In comparison-that you would speak
in whispers II the roar could suddenly
ease. You are an onloolSer; IL assist
ing 10 work u gun, physical activity
would take away from the mental
strain, When Admiral Porter got his

heaven and earth coming together
The mortar shells weighed over two
hundred pounds apiece, and the rush
Of them through the air made ones
hair feel rs II II crawled. The venom
Gus hiss Of a big slyrocket was magni-
fed thousands of times, 10 be followed
by crash which seemed TO split the
sky open into cracks and crevices.
When the firing had continued until
all reports had been merged into one
steady roar there was little short Of an
earthquake on land or sea for ten miles
around. The earth shook as II great
steam hammer was pounding IL n few
yards from your feet. II standing near

crawling over dry leaves. On the water
great mud spots rose up here and there

low had been disturbed. In the Missis-
sippi river itself hugh catfish leaped
above the surface in fright and pain or
fioated belly up and were carried along
with the current, Rasping for breath.
Ont on blue water air bubbles as large as
dining plates floated 10 the surface and
bursted with "A snap, and fish OF all
kinds exhibited the greatest confusion
and alarm.
Thirty miles away the roar was like
that of gale sweeping over pine for

Birds and fowls felt the air and earth
waves long before human beings did,
and their actions were so queer as TO
become alarming. The coming of the
roar to those afar OFF was preceded by
Il jarring of the earth and moaning
in the air. Springs overlooked, and the
water in wells circlcd around as in n
whirlpool. The widest species of birds
left the woods and thicltets and came
flying about the houses, and rabbits de-
serted their burrows and sought the
companionship of domestic animals.
The thunder storms of score of years
combined could not have rent the heav-
ems nor disturbed the solid earth as that
cannonadc did.

be remembered for its grandeur. One
mortar after another, one great gun
after another, was silcnced by order
The revcrbcrations had travelled through

turn back 10 the guns. The rent and
rivcn skies had kept up constant
moaning and complaining These
sounds gradually died away, AS man
in pain finally drops Oft TO sleep. The
earth resumed its solidity again, the
sun shonc forth in its old familiar way,
and the bank of clouds piled up in the
west and tingcd with gold all along

eye that the world still stood as we had

Idols.

The Ungallant Conduct Of the Nations
Idols.
The publication Of Mr. McClure's
series Of papers on Mr.. Lincoln and
number of the leading actors in the late
war has called ont a food of hidden
letters and unknown facts from all sec
tons Of the country, and many Of them
painfully Illustrate the disgraccful biclS-
crings of even the idols of the nation in
both field and forum.
An autograph letter written by Gen.
Hooker from his headquarters ut Column
bus, o., in October, 1864, is among tho
many developments Of the hidden liter
allure of our civil war. Hooker and Shcr-
man seems 10 have got at cross pur-
poses In the Chattanooga campaign,
where both rendered conspicuous SER
vice-lIooker Mt Lookout mountain and
sherman in the assault upon Missionary
ridge. In the reorganization that fol-
lowed when Grant was called to the
lieutenant-gencralship, Hooker deemed
himself aggrievcd, was relieved Of his
command at his own request, and prac-
tically retired from active service by re-
ceiving command of the northern de-
partment, with headquarters at Column
bus, o. Upon what terms Hooker and
sherman separated after their brilliant
achievements at Chattanooga may be
understood from a single sentence In
Rockers autograph letter, in which he
says; at would have been a luxury to
have broken my sabre over the head of
Sherman before leaving the Twentieth
corps; but as il is, suppose | shall
have to forego that pleasure for the
present"
Gen. Hooker was not exceptional
In the bitterness he cherished against
his successful rivals in the field. Him
self one Of the most brilliant lieutenants
OF the war, but obviously incapable as
the commander Of great army, and
impulsive often 10 the point of insubor-
dination, he naturally underestimate
his own defects AS military chieftain,
and overestimated the defects of those
who were more successful than himself.
In this Gen. Hooker was simply human,
for, with all the varied achievements of
our best military men, there were few
indeed who were close friends and CO.
operated for each others success. Grant
and sherman were notable exceptions,
but after them there were few who did
not cross each others paths and develop
all the bicl<crirNs which often deform
greatness In both civil and military life.
In this our generals merely initiated
the constant strife and jealousies which
exist among politicians in the struggles
for civil distinction, and unitedly they
teach the lesson that even in the high
est attainmcnts of greatness, "all are
but children of larger growth. -
