Into One of His Victims.
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Sept. 8. =
William Barrett, dairy farmer, shot and
killed John Egan, 10 years old, and prob
ably mortally wounded David Crawford.
18 years old, at his farm on Star avenue,
Blissvlle. He claims crowd of boys
were annoying him, and that he fired both
barrels of shot gun into the air to
frighten them away and had no intention
of shooting any of them. Spectators
declare that he fired deliberately into the
crowd of hoys.
Led by the dead boys father, great
crowd of neighhors caught Barrett aud
beat him into insensibility, and would
probably havo lynched him but for the
timely arrival on the scene of Police
man Haggerty, who rescued him and took
him into custody. The Egan boy died
fifteen minutes after being shot, and forty
five buckshot were taken from his chest by

THE LEGEND OF EVIL

This is the sorrowful story
Told when the twilight fails,
And tho monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails:
sour fathers lived in the forest;
Foolish people were they.
They went down to the cortland
To teach the farmers TO play.
"our fathers friskcd in the millct,
Our fathers skipped In the wheat.
Our fathers hung In the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street.
'SThen came the terrible farmers.
Nothing Of play they knew.
Only they caught our fathers
And set them to labor tool
''Set them 10 work In the cortland.
With plows and sickles and fails;
Put them in mudwalled prisons
And cut of their beautiful tailsi
snow we can watch our fathers,
Sullen and bowed and old,
STOPPING over the millet, s
Stirring the silly mold.
ARRIVING foolish furrow, y.
Mending muddy yoke,
Sleeping in mudwallcd prisons,
Sleeping their food in smoke.
''We may not speak to our fathers.
For If the farmers knew
i They would come up to the forest
And set us TO labor tool"
, This Is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails, ..---
As the monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails.

name, borne as it was by tho first of

Dutch way of spelling it. Spell it in
Spanish-Esteban. Drop the initial si-

In spite OF bad tlmsd and monetasy
disturbance the figures compiled by the
Railway Age show that In the hrst nine
months Of 1893 over 1900 miles Of rail-
road track havo been laid in tho United
States. In forty-two Of tho forty eight
states and territories some traoklay ing
has been done during the past nine
months on . total OF 1872 lines, the only
exceptions being the states Of Vermont,
Connecticut Delaware, Maryland and
Nevada and the Indian territory. It 10
true, however, that several other states
escaped exclusion from the list only by
single short line; while on the other
hand most Of the states have had sew
eral roads in progress. Pennsylvania
has added 3G5 miles on the surprising
number Of forty three lines, North Da-
kota 1875 miles on two lines, Texas 14l
miles on six lines, Missouri l40 miles on
eeven lines, Ohio 1876 miles on five lines,
Florida 1O3 miles on seven lines; aud
other states, though adding less than
100 miles each, have done it on numer-
Gus short lines. In addition, the Age
says, largo amount Of grading has been
done In this and the previous year on
which track has not been laid, and in
ordinary times 1t would be safe to as
sumo that about 80 per cent more track
would 60 down in the remaining three
months Of the year. We have in sight
sufficient unfinished work to make the
total length Of new track for 1893 at
least 5000 miles; but SO many enter
prises have been temporarily postponed
by the financial collapse that 1t will not
now be surprising il the total for the
year scarcely exceeds $500 miles.

MORE PEOPLE.

Colonization is the solution Of the
population problem in Montana. Men
will not come here single-hsnded to con-
quer living from the land or in the
mines Money will not come except
through combinations OF investors who
have the means to buy and irrigate
lands. The irrigation bond is the CON-
ing investment for capitalize safest,
surest form into which money can be
converted, provided ordinary business
prudence is applied to their purchase.
As writer in the Irrigation Age says:
"The irrigation bond is mortgage on
the water supply and the agencies Of
distribution that alone render this land
valuable. Consequently this form Of
security is based on the life current of
hundreds Of families. The ability Of
one farmer to make living from this
land is inseparable from the ability of
all the farmers to pay the interest on
the bonds and provide a sinking fund
for the liquidation Of the principal. The
strongest form Of the irrigation bond is
that class which furnishes security not
only upon the canal system, but also
upon Fair proportion Of the lands to
be irrigated. This is good feature,
because the possession Of large body
OF irrigated lands enables the water
company to produce immediate income
to meet it's interest, even II the sale OF
water rights to settlers is unreasonably
delayed. Colonization Is the one factor
that cannot be controlled and mathe-
matically demonstrated in advance"
1t can come pretty near being con-
troled, and it has been con-
trolled in hundreds OF instances in CAL
ifornia and other states. A well-man-
aged colony could not fail to prosper on
fertile lands in Montana whose mining
camps and cities furnish sure and profit
able markets. Colonies Of Hollanders,
Germans, and other sturdy people, once
brought here, will stay. We can have
one hundred Manhattan settlements
whenever capital and enterprise shall
bring them.

That is a serious charge made by Ex-
ecutive Commissioner Bickford and Su.
perintendent Curtis, that the Montana
mining exhibit at the Worlds fair was
visited only by a drunken judge when
the awards were to be made, and tha,
other judges offered to mako awards TO,
q money consideration. There is nc
doubt that many OF the features in ou,
mineral exhibit surpassed anything
shown by other states, notably the rare
gold crystals, the gold nuggets and
some Of tho copper exhibits. II the
gentlemen in charge of the Montana ex-
hibit have good case we hope they
will make thorough exposure OF the
drunken and blackmailing rascals who
approached them. AS rule controver-
sizes over such matters do no good. but
this seems to be an exceptional case
which calls for searching investigation
