TERROR AND TENDERFOOT.
A story of Cold Nerve Developed I'm
der Stress of Circumstances.

LAS a general thing" said an old
forty-niner, the tenderfoot wasn't in il
with the bad man Of the mining camp,
and IL wasn't natural TO expect that he
should be. but occasionally there did APP
pear one who could more than hold his
own. | recall a man named Caleb Finby
who came To Dream Gulch in its earlier
days, when that region was full of bad
men. He was a tall spare young man,
with a head full of brains and he was
quick and business-like in everything
that he did. but still he was not a man
that the generality of men would have
picked out as the possessor of nerve.
MIR. Finby set out one day 10 go to the
neighboring camp of Devils Claw canon.
As he was proceeding along the road he
suddenly came upon or rather there came
suddenly upon him, man who asked
him 10 throw up his hands. 1t was big
Bill Better, the terror of DEVILS Claw
canon.
- throw 'em up. said Mr. Finby
cheerfully, as he raised them because
YOU ask me TO, and 1 don't want TO seem
impolite But at the same time, l must
inform you that you are taking an en-
tirely unnecessary precaution; my gun
isn't loaded
Mr.. Better was himself man of fine
gall and his recognition of that quality
i'm another awakened in him a certain
degree of admiration. Quickly to per-
ceive the change i'm Mr. Belters manner
faint and underlined as it was, Mr.. Finby
went on:
3" But I realize now, as I have not
done before. the carelessness of going
about in this way practically unarmed ;
and If you'll permit me, I'll load now as
a guard against future contingencies
Mr. Finby's hand came down as he
uttered the concluding words. for he had
seen the hand that had held the pistol
leveled against him fall slowly. as the
terror listened with a sort of astonished
amusement
Mr. Finby had in his hip pocket
pistol and in his waistcoat pocket box
of cartridges, which he had bought in
Difference to the advice of friends but
which he had never brought together
into useful conjunction. partly because
he was not personally blood-thirsty, and
partly because of overconfdence in the
human race. But he proceeded now to
load, with perfect calmness, but in his
heart amazed at the utter lack Of pre-
caution now displayed by Mr. Better, who
stood leaning against tree and laugh
ing, apparently quite overcome by the
broad humOr OF the situation. Suddenly
ii was discovered that Mr. Finby's gun
was being held in such a position that
Mr.. Better could. without inconvenience
look square into the muzzle of it, and
Mr.. Better discovered also at the same
moment in Mr.. Finby's eye a light whose
meaning no sane man could by any posi-
bility misunderstood. Mr. Better was a
man with a vast appreciation of the
humorous. but not even his sense of
humor could discover the faintest CLEAN
Of fun in the situation as at present de-
VelOped and he suffered the tenderfoot
to proceed without further molestation.

are apparently needed.

Written at an Early Age.

Having regard to Mr.. ]. NJ. Barrie's
visit TO Dumfries academy, the Courier
and Herald Of that place prints some
extracts from the novelist's early con-
tributions to a school magazine called
the Clown. which he and some friends
started. Young Barrie writes some
"Reckollections" in the assumed role of
a "skoolmaster" whose spelling is Arte-
Wardian. In his second installment
he complains that the editor 'spelt sum
OF the wurds in my last reckollections

shown in Paris and have the effect of
stained glass when hung. They are
made up Of little squares OF colored

Ringing of the pieces gives them certain

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
The Body of an Unknown Colored NJ,
Taken to the Morgue.

The Body of an Unknown Colored Man
Taken to the Morgue.
About noon today the body Of colored man
was found floating in the Anacostia river near
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge. The body
was lowed ashore and sent to the morgue in
the dead wagon.
An examination of the body by the police
revealed no marks of violence and the face and
head of the dead man were thickly covered
with mud, making it appear as though the man
had fallen or been thrown in the mud head
first.
When the body reached the morgue the
janitor found in the pockets of the clothing
several sand tickets bearing the name A. b.
Clark, sand dealer, and i: was thought that the
deceased had been in Mr.. Clarks employ and
bad probably fallen from a sand scow. A
pocket book in the pocket of the mans trousers
contained seven cents.
Deputy Coroner Schaeffer reviewed the body
at the morgue this afternoon, and will make a
closer examination later TO see if there are
any marks of violence to be found.
The doctor id he thought the body had
been in the water for about three or four
weeks.

SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
Mystery Over the Fate of a Young Man VIII
Went From Here to Montana.

Mystery Over the Fate of a Young Man Who
Went From Here to Montana.
Mrs. Gray, widow employed in the govern
ment printing Office, is In trouble. She is en-
deavoring to ascertain some tidings of her son,
Martin Gray, who went from here to Superior,
Mont, and secured employment as a stable boss
for the Iron Mountain Manufacturing Company.
In the last letter received from her son in
December the mother was informed that he
was doing well and was getting good wages.
The next she heard was a report that he
had committed suicide at Missoula, a town
sixty miles east Of Superior, and, not
having heard from him since De-
cember, the mother fears that the sad
news is too true. While she believes that her
son may be dead, sho does not believe the story
of the suicide, but is rather Of the opinion that
he was murdered and robbed.
Inspector Hollinberger of the detective corps
has been endeavoring TO ascertain something of
the facts for the distressed mother. The de-
scription of the dead man received from the
authorities does not tally with the description
OF Mrs. Gray's son.
Inspector Hollinberger, who saw the last let
ter written by the young man. does not believe
that he committed suicide. but that he was
murdered. He thinks the fact of the mother
not hearing from her son after having written
us she has is good evidence that he is dead.
