4 DASYARDLY, DIRTY DOG
HIS UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT
INCENDiARlSM
The Photograph Gallery of G.. q.
Reed Partially Burned-The Fiend
Uses Coal OIL to Further His
End = Little Damage Done.

At 10 o'clock last Thursday night the
fire brigade was called out by call Of
fire from Broadway and California streets
The small canvass covered building
located on that corner was in fiery
blaze and those who witnessed the pro-
gress Of the flames imagined that c. o.
Reeds photograph gallery would soon
be in ashes, but the timely action of the
fire company saved it from ruin and the
damage is small.
That the fire was incendiary there can
be no doubt. Those who reached the
place soon after the flames appeared
detected strong odors of coal oil and an
empty gallon can near by explained the
effort OF some contemplate wretch to
destroy all that one man possessed in
the world.
Whoever this cowardly cur may be, he
was at least baffied in the success Of his
crime, as all the contents of the building
were saved and safely stored in The
MAIL building, while the damage to the
building itself can be repaired for a few
dollaps. IN s...ass
The same day that this crime was
planned Mr. Reed departed with party
of friends for trip to the National Park
and could not have been more than
thirty miles away before the would-be
destroyer of his property sought revenge,
or whatever it may have been, in the
most cowardly manner that a human
being could resort to.
When Mr.. Reed learns Of the affair he
may not have to guess more than once
to name the culprit and it is possible
that an arrest may follow.
John Easton and G. N. Freeman we're
sitting in front of Wilson's store when
the fire broke out and a few minutes
before they noticed a man leave the
building and run across the street to the
alley. Mr.. Easton IS able to give fair
description of the individual and this
with Mr.. Reeds assistance pretty
strong case may be made against the
suspected party. .=

struck Him with n Chair.

Last Saturday August Carlson, an old
and respected resident Of the valley,
came to Philipsburg with load Of pro-
duce which he disposed Of and while IN
town he got after n Connolly, ST., to
collect bill of $50. which Carlson says
Connolly has owed him for eleven years.
When approached Connolly denied the
debt and declared he never owed il.
Carlson was very sure, however, that
Connolly had consummated the debt
and told him he would get on his knees
and swear to 1t, which he did and while
he was in kneeling position Connolly
raised chair and struck Carlson on the
head with it laying the scalp open four
or five inches over the right temple.
Carlson fell PROSTATE to the ground but
soon recovered and some by ISLANDERS
assisted him to DR.. Heines office where
the wound was dressed, and eighteen
stitches we're required to put the flesh
in position. The skull was not fractured
but was badly bruised and as the victim
of the vicious onslaught has been con-
fined to his bed ever since, it is not un-
likely that the blow may result seriously
Before going home Mr.. Carlson swore
out complaint against Connolly charg
ing him with assault and battery. The
trial was set for hearing last Monday
but as Carlson was unable to attend il
was postponed until the 22nd

GAN IT Be POSSlBLE
The Naughty Doings Of Rep
resentative Breckenridge.
THE KENTUCEIAN ''STRICTLY In IT.
Miss Matilda v. Pollard, of Wash
ingtOn, -. G., sues the Famous
SOutherner for $4,000 for Not
Keeping His WOrd-A Rich
StOr3 From Washington.

A suit has been filed in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia for
$4,000 for breach of promise against
Representative W. G. 2. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, by Miss Matilda " Pollard.
The plaintiff charges that in April,
1884, when she was II years old and a
student at Wesleyan female seminary,
Cincinnati, she was met by Breckenridge,
who made her acquaintance on plea Of
knowing her family, and that she was
1attered by his attentions. He got per-
mission of the president for her to dine
with him, and by wiles and artifces and
protestations Of affection subsequently
took advantage OF her youth and mex
perience. She AYERS that he got her
completely under his control.
The allegations filed 60 at great length
into the relations which existed between
plaintiff and. Breckinridge, as she
charges, until recently. The birth of
two children, who died, and the prema-
ture birth Of a third child are alleged as
a result of this intimacy, She further
alleges that after the death Of her children
she went to Washington, and that after
the death Of his wife she was again in a
delicate condition, and with protest
atoms of love and affection he induced
her to continue their relations and
promised to marry her as soon as it
would be proper for him to do so. From
time to time, she alleges, the date for
their marriage was postponed, until on
July Is she AYERS Breckenridge wrong
fully and injuriously married another
woman.
The plaintiff was for some time an
employe of one of the departments in
Washington. The announcement OF her
engagement to Breckenridge and the
breaking off of the engagement and
sat1on in the capital. f
Col. Breckenridge was absent when
the papers were filed and upon his return
to Washington last Saturday evening a
friend informed him Of the filing Of the
suit, but it did not seem to worry HIM q
bit. Saturday night deputy marshal
served the papers on the colonel, who
showed the paper to his wire, and neither
appeared disturbed.
TO press representative Col. Breckin
ridge said: II have not had time tc
examine the papers in the case. can
only say at this time, before / have had
a chance to know the extent of the
allegations made, that hope my friends
will believe that the charges are the
result of vindictiveness, vexation and
perhaps an intention to blackmal], and
ask that they suspend judgment until g
full hearing shall have shown all that ls
in them. l do not care to say anything
further until I have had an opportunity
to consult with attorneys and thoroughly
examine the allegations,'

venge. but the Mystery of the
MissiOnary's Wife Remains
UnsOlved-A sad Ending.

The coast of southeast Africa is one of the
most dangerous in the world. Currents,
constantly varying both in direction and
intensity, carry the navigator far out Of his
course and often land him upon some reef
or sand bar. The fact that the Robert
Miller, from London for Bombay, should
have been wrecked near the bay of Natal
was therefore not strange But what was
unusual was the great loss Of life that at
tended the wreck. Only one man out Of
all those on board managed to reach the
shore in safety. ...r.....,,..- rszs...
This man was Charles Lee, an American
whose subsequent adventures are thus re-
lated by John Crittenden Marriott in the
San Francisco Chronicle:
Flung by the waves on the coast of Ma
tal with his money safe in a waterproof
belt, Lee changed his plans and resolved
upon a trading trip into the interior. Pur-
chasing a. wagon and span of oxen and
hiring two native assistants, he ''trekked''
north into Zululand. In his wagon he
carried numerous articles for trade with
the natives. Among them, carefully con
cealed under the wagon seat, he carried a
few kegs of powder. They were concealed
because the laws forbid the sale of powder
to natives 4+
One morning he 'soutspanned'' at a small
village where there was missionary sta
tion. The missionary himself was away,
but his wife came down to the traders
wagon expecting to find many articles
needed to replenish her household stores.

FROM SOUTHERN AFRICA
EARTWELL AND CARLETON AR
RIVE IN CAPE TOWN.
They Arrive There ON the 4th Of july
and Were Pleased to See the Stars
and Stripes Floating in Honor
of Americas Independence.

THE MAIL received letter from Jack
Hartwell last Sunday, dated Cape Town,
July 5, 1893.
Jack Hartwell and Joe Carleton left
Philipsburg last May for the Dark Con
tinent and have just arrived at Cape
Town, having been twenty-six days at
sea from london. They both arrived
there on the 4th of July, and were
pleased to see the glorious stars and
stripes floating from different points
about the city. Jack says the city is
not much to be proud Of. It lies along
the foot Of table mountain; the streets
run in every direction but straight; no
sidewalks; have to walk in the middle
Of the street. About one-half the popu-
lation are blacks, and they do nearly all
the work for about one shilling per day.
five in Cape Town. They manufacture
small stamp-mills, and as there is no
timber in the country. all the telegraph
posts are made of iron. Around Johan.
nesbarg the large mining companies have
their own fonndries.
They met Lige Bergeron on the 5th of
July, he arriving in Cape Town the night
before. Joe Carleton saw Lige in Butte
and he said he did not know when he
would leave Montana, but arrived there
about as soon as they did,
Speaking of the price CT silver, Jack
says: "We see by the papers that silver
is down to less than zoe. Times must
be dull there if it is the case.'
The boysleft on July for the interior,
going by the way Of Johannesburg.
Their destination is the new gold fields
in Mashonaland The principal city in
that district being Victoria, which has a
population Of about 500 souls.
Speaking Of the mining laws of the
land to which they are bound, Jack says
I'm Mashonaland the prospector must
have license costing shilling year
He may locate block of ten claims, each
$50 feet long and 400 wide, and when
these begin to produce he may ylocate ten
more on similar terms. He must pay
several small sums for location and in
spection certificates, and must sink a
thirty foot shaft on the reef within four
months after location. When the mine
is hoated it must pay 10 shillings a
month license.
'This is all fair enough, but there is
another provision that changes the whole
aspect Of affairs. When mine is sold
or foated into company one-half Of all
the vender received for it must be paid
to the British South Africa company as
a special tax to pay for the opening up
and protection of Mashonaland. AIS may
be imagined this 80 per cent" clause IS
very obnoxious to the miners, but there
is little chance of it's being removed.
"Another queer provision Of the Mash
onaland laws is that MINER may follow
down his reef wherever it goes This
prevents or renders unnecessary the
location of deep level claims alongside
the reef claims, and where the dip is SO
small as 1t is in Mashonaland constitutes
a very valuable privilege"

looking at her in a puzzled manner. At
last be exclaimed: BY George, know you
now! How under heaven did you get here,
Mollie?"
''sir," said the woman, deadly pale, but
drawing herself up proudly, "what do you
mean by this insult?"
''Oh, stuff, Mollie. You can't fool me.
AS soon as saw you I knew I had seen you
before But it seemed so queer that Mollie
Flanders-Moll Of San Francisco-should
have turned up here Of all places in the
world. Pretty as ever, Moll, I see. Give
us kiss for old times sake"
Grasping her suddenly in his arms he
kissed her again and again. Finally she
tore herself loose and fled, white with emo
tion. Was she Mollie Flanders or was she
not? Lee was sure Of it, but mistakes of
Identification do sometimes happen. At
any rate she acted as If Innocent.
Sitting down, the woman wrote a letter
to her husband telling him how she had
been insulted and demanding reparation.
This letter she sent by native to the neigh
boring village, where her husband was Wis
iting. .i#f w = s3s'1@
That night the trader took advantage of
the moonlight to pursue his journey, and,
as fate would have it., he and the letter
reached the village and the missionary at
the same time
The missionary was man Of sudden
and violent temper. He loved his wife
dearly, and the news of an insult to her
broke down all the barriers he had built
up by constant training. Urged by him,
the chief Of the village sent men to seize
the trader. Surprised without his arms,
Lee was made a captive and carried before
the chief and the missi sionary, where hewas
sentenced to receive 100 lashes on his bare
back unobserved by the guards.
The trader heard his sentence calmly. He
made no defense to the charges and begged
no mercy. He merely asked that he be
given an hour put his affairs in order in
view of the possibility of a fatal result
from so tremendous 9 beating This privi-
lege was granted, and lie was placed upon
the seat Of the wagon, with his feet Sc
curely tied. @.
Once upon the box, Lee took out his writ
ing materials and wrote two letters, which
he sealed and threw upon the ground.
Then he reached down below the seat and
quietly drew the plugs from the powder
kegs, The powder flowed out into a,black
heap. 4 4s5 af. ge a5a
Lee then lighted his pipe and quietly
leaned back TO- await the expiration of the
hour. When It wastnearly up, he bent down
and began to unfasten the bonds upon his
legs. The missionary; seeing his prey try
ing to escape; rushed toward him, followed
by the whole assemblage f natives. Lee
waited until they were nearly upon him
and then emptied the glowing contents Of
his pipe upon the powder
A sharp cry of horror'from the mission
ary was lost ina burst Of fame and roar
like thunder Then AZ volume'fof heavy
white smoke rolled and spread about the
scene like thick fog. When it had cleared
away, trader and missionary had both gone
to carry their disputes to q higher tribunal.
Only two blackened masses, hardly human
in form, remained to show that they had
ever lived. OF the natives Is lay dead or
