NOTHING TO BOAST or.

"The Times is also informed by
District Attorney Land that the
grand jury made rigid and thorough
investigation OF the numerous char
ges made of the violation of the Sun
day law, and had found in no ca-e
anything to justify the finding of q
true bill; or, in fact, the slightest evi-
deDce to prove that the Sunday law
was being openly and hagrantly VIC
lated as has been repeatedly charged
in n public print in this city. The
parties making the charges, and all
the witnesses they desired to bring
forward were summoned to testify
before the grand jury with the re-
suits above stated"
We suppose Mr.. Land is authority
for the above, or it would not have
appeared in print; or having done SO,
be would have corrected il, If it had
not have appeared clothed with his
authority.
This being true We are surprised
that he is not 30 easily satisfied. If
he is trying to make capital out of
the failure of the grand jury to find
bills in the above cited cases, it will
strike the average fair-minded think
ing man, that he Is in very much the
same position as the prospector, who
grows very much inflated. and builds
his fancy air castles over the posses
sion of a 'salted" mine.
The grand jury found no true bills,
but dare Mr.. Land answer these ques-
tons? Don't You believe that several
saloons have been and are violating
the Sunday law? Didn't your honest
conscience prick you when you made
that unjust reflection, knowing rs
you did, that The PRoGREss had sus-
tanned it's charges, but that the wit
ness had refused to swear, thus nee
Scotch verdict? Didn't
you know that one witness had sworn,
hat he himself, had taken a drink in
TWO saloons on Sunday, within the
asst two months? and didn't you
know that that, under tho law, was
sufficient for billi Did you so in

81 louis Globe Democrat.


81 was going from Oshkosh up to
Green Bay last spring" said George
Bailey. Il had for fellow passengers
half dozen lumbermen who had just
been paid off, and had gone to Oshkosh
20 have q little fun with the boys.
There were but two coaches on the
train, a ladies car and a smoker, aud
the lumberman took possession OF both
and ran the train to suit them. For the
first few miles they were good humored,
and the passengers enjoyed their
FRANKS; but the Oshkosh whiskey final
liz began to assert itself, and they began
looking for row. The went through
the coaches, smashing the mems
hats down over their eyes. This failing
20 produce the desired result, they be-
gau singing ribald songs in the ladies
car There were a dozen men aboard
beside the train crew, but the ruffians
were big, strapping fellows, and nobody
cared to provoke difficulty with them.
presently a little Boston dude, with
a complexion like tallow candle, got
up, laid of his oyercoat, then his under
coat and vest. Then he removed his
soectacles, wiped the dust from them,
put them in q case, and frightened up
his silk surcingle anotch. The lumber
men, who were spread out over several
seats, with their feet dangling in the
aisleS, watched his preparations, and
wanted to know il he was preparing
10 take bath. When he had
arranged his affairs to his
liking he came down the aisle. He
caught the leader Of the gang by the
legs, whirled him over in the seat and
struck him twice just behind the ear.
The blows sounded like the impact Of
Diledriver. The other toughs rushed
to the relief OF their leader, and were
knocked sprawling over the seats.
Then the talow-faced dude pulled the
bell cord. The train came to stop
and he began dragging his victims out
on the platform. Everybody lent a
hand, and two minutes later we were
steaming away, six passengers short.
The youngster who did the busi-
ness so beautiful had just graduated at
Harvard, where ameng other things OF
more or less value, he had acquired the

An AmphIbIoa, what-Is-It.

FARGO, Y. D.. Dec. 19.-The strange
spectacle OF fish with feet" is agi-
tating the people of Cando, Towner
county. On Friday j. B. Madison
was out in the direction OF Big COulee,
and he saw a strengthening animal.
He had never seen its like before. and
In fact, Of the many persons who have
viewed the monstrosity, no one has ever
before seen its like.
On near inspection IL seemed to be
harmless; it acted very sluggish, aud
appeared TO be more dead than alive.
He procured help aud took 1t into town,
where IL caused sensation. As it was
still alive it was placed in an impro-
viSed tank under cover, where
hundreds OF persons viewed II.
District Attorney King, who is
something of a scientist, made a
careful examination Of it with a view Of
discovering it's classification. He final
ly concluded it was batrachian, and a
species Of Axalotl. IL was 2l5 milli-
metres in length. 1t seems to have
something Of the nature of the sala-
mander, and cares for neither heat or
cold, though lately it seems intent on
keeping its head under water
To the unscientific eye il presents no
very inviting appearance. 1t is q long,
Shiny thing, much the general shape Of
a lizard, except its head is more that Of
a fish, and il has fsh's fms. 1t looks
like fish with legs and feet. The hind
feet have i've toes each and the front
ones four. The hink legs are about
midway between the head and the end
OF the tail. The tail is surmounted by
in like that of an eel On each side Of
the neck are three long protuberances
about one-sixth its entire length, which
are covered on the outer edge with hair.

Yesterday morning about IL o'clock
Mrs. Josephine Martin, wife OF Samuel
Martin, the shoe man on Pike street,
died from an attack OF apoplexy. Her
death was shock to her most intimate
friends and the members Of the family,
as she had apparently been in the best
OF spirits but few hours before her
death. At 1920 o'clock in the morning
she was taken suddenly i'll by severe
pains in her stomach. She called her
daughter, Miss Minnie, who was sleep
ing in an adjoining room, and told her
Of her sudden attack OF a species OF
cramps. She Immediately sent for a
doctor, but was too far gone and ex-
pired few minutes after the arrival of
the physician. Mrs. Martin was between
ifty-fve and ffty-six years of age, and
was we'll known throughout the town.
She leaves four sons and two daughters
to mourn her untimely loss. No detin-
tie arrangements as TO when the funeral
will take place have yet been decided.
Word was received here yesterday
that Mrs. VIM. Wright, of CoDiac, had
died. Mrs. Wright was we'll known

Mortally Wounded by Burglars.

CHICAGO, December 19.-Frederick
Austin, Of 1914 Prairie Avenue, was
mortally wounded at an early hour this
morning by two burglars. Mr.. Austin
was entering his house at that hour
when he noticed the two men providing
around one Of the side windows. He
drew his revolver and asked the men
what they wanted. One of the men
fired shot which did not hit Mr.. Aus
tin, and the latter returned the fire.
Several shots were exchanged, one of
which struck Mr.. Austin in the stom-
ach. He fell to the sidewalk, and
while lying PROSTATE he emptied his
revolver at the men. 1t is thought
that one of them was wounded, for a
trail of blood in the snow marked the
course by which they escaped.
