Looking at the illustration, it will be
seen At once that the form aud structure
of the tail resembles an ancient Greciau
Tyre, hence the birds name. The size
of this bird is about that of the common
hen; the eyes are dark hazel, large, mild
in expression, and very beautiful; the
wings short aud conchve, rendering great
assistance when running, but OF little use
IN flight. The birds running powers
are extraordinary, and it is not easily
overtaSen; the legs are rather long; the
the color OF the body is reddish brown,
and the general appearance is exceed
insly graceful. The bird is of gentle
disposition aud altogether harmless.

rRAP-GUN SPRING SET IN
FARMERS spRfHG-iiousE
Near Uniontown a spring gun set as a tran
for thieves has done what the county author.
tiles long have admitted their inability to do
rid that section of Jack Cooley, one Of the
notorious outlaws who for years has spread
terror In the mountain region of this and
adjoining counties. On Thursday night Jack
Cooley Frank Cooley, his brother, and Jack
Ramsey attempted to effect an entrance into
the spring-housc of Thomas Collier, near
Fairchance, for the purpose of robbing.
Jack Cooley was the leader of the gang and
when he forced the door open gun, ,set in
side and loaded with buckshot was dis
charged, the load taking effect in Jack
Cooley's abdomen. producing wounds from
which he died yesterday morning. The in
jured man was at once picked up by his
comrades and carried to his fathers home,
three miles away.
The dead mans father came to Farchance
for a coffin and told the following story Of
the shooting: "The boys were away from
home Thursday night, where did not then
know. Along about . o clock Friday morn
ing they returned, bearing the bleeding form
of Jack. The poor fellow did not seem to
realize that the end was so near. I wanted
to go for doctor. but he and Frank would
not let me. They said the wounds were not
fatal and that to bring doctor would be to
spread the alarm and cause their arrest I
finally agreed not to go for doctor, and we
spent all day yesterday in doing what we
could for the poor boy. Shortly before mid
night Jack became unconscious. and then
went for DR.. Holbert, but when he arrived
1t was too late"
The old man then gave Franks version.
The three boys were trying TO get into Mr..
Golfers milk-house. Jack opened the door
and the gun was discharged. He uttered
groan and fell back. The boys thought they
had fallen into the hands of the sheriff and
his posse. Without waiting to return the
fire or see who had fired the shot, they
picked up the wounded man and bore him
to his home.
Thomas Collier said his mlk-house had
been robbed several times and he placed the
gun loaded with buckshot, in the milk
house with the muzzle pointing toward the
door. He tied string to the trigger SC that
whoever opened the door would be shot.
About clock at night his wife awake him
and said the gun had been discharged. He
did not go out until morning when he
found the ground in front of the milk
house covered with blood He also found
two large, loaded revolvers, which indicates
that the Cooleys had fled precipitately.
Mr.. Collier is afraid the Cooleys will have
revenge and says he would not be surprised
If they should waylay him or burn his
house any night.

eyes from the sign, "Do not feed the

Watch the tigers as the provender man
comes slowly along. They spring at the
bars, not waiting to stretch themselves,
and the sightseers are trifie scared at
first and then fascinated. The long,
white teeth are barred as they snarl, their
supple bodies and long, striped tails are
tremulous with muscular excitement.
Their streaked sides heave, their mouths
froth, their eyes glare, the two come into
contact as they sway to and tro, one
springs at the other, and there is loud,
angry snarl, and their weight seems to
shake the cage. Their quarrel is over in
an instant, however, for both are intent
ON the provender man.
As he draws nearer they grow more
and more excited. Their eyes CLEAN red,
their jaws drip on the bars, their terrible
claws are pushed backward and forward
out OF their velvety sheaths, the tails
wave higher and faster and the snarling
roars of hunger grow louder and louder

oil. The loss on oil, tank and labor emyloy-

ton, are after the recent accepted ideas in
school architecture. They are handsome
in design. their roomslcommodious and
convenient, and constructed throughout
with special reference to health. The
corps of instructors have been selected
with rigorous care. The board of edu-
cation is q body in thorough harmony
with the spirit of the school work to
whose energy and ability the present sys-
tenn is most largely due. Private educa-
tional institutions still pursue their la
bors, but they are no longer in such de
mand as they were prior to the establish
ment of the graded public schools.
In no direction are popular ideas so er-
roneous as in regard to the opportunity
and prevalence of crime in the inter
mountain region. People of the east,
unacquainted with the facts, are prone to
the conclusion that wild, rugged coun-
try, such as surrounds us here, must be
q chosen rendezvous of outlaws. On the
contrary, few places are more unfavOr-
ably situated for the operations of the
criminal classes. Population is not so
great as to afford concealment. The
mountains and desert afford little
food for subsistence. The avenues OF
travel are easily watched. Besides these
natural projections, Salt Lake is provided
with an efficient police CORDS, so that the
amount of crime is kept at minimum.
Property, likewise, is protected from
fire by vigilant, well equipped fire de
partment, whose reputation has reached
beyond local boundaries. The streets
