In the CoIfax Jail.

COLLAR, Aug. 13.-Isaac Cooper was
brought to this city today and jailed on
a charge of stealing horses from w. B.
Bloomer of this county in 1891. Three
of Cooper's brothers are already serv-
ing long sentences at Walla Walla peni-
Tertiary for horse stealing. Isaac was
arrested last year for the same offense,
but his case was not brought to trial on
account of insufficient evidence. The
Washington Stock Associations detec-
tives have unearthered strong evidence
and the case will now be pushed to
trial. More arrests are daily expected
and wealthy farmers may be implicated
in rustling matters.

many a sun-bronzed cheek unused 10
such a visitor, and not one of them,
rough as they were, but would willingly
have taken her place and borne the pain
In her stead, were such thing possible
few moments later the man from the
gulch again knelt beside Ethel, and as
he placed her cap upon the floor beside
her, said: Here, little girl, this will
make you feel better. It's to buy you
new gown" which remark plainly went
to show his ignorance regarding the
value of dress goods. He had collected
enough money to purchase a fair-sized
dry goods store.
When the doctor that had been sent
for arrived the train proceeded on it's
way. Half dozen miners, armed with
Winchester rifles, were stationed in the
cab of the engine, under the command
OF Dare Devil Dave" and the only or
der that that individual gave was this:
Fellow citizens, hope you know
your business. Don't shoot unless you
get the word; then shoot TO kill"
The train approached the station at
Halfway at very high speed, all on
board seemingly unconscious of any i'm
pending danger.
"A light was swung across the track.
signaling the train to stop. The engi-
neer obeyed promptly aud the train was
brought TO a standstill less than a hun
dred feet from where the robbers stood
with guns leveled at the train.
Hands up!" demanded the leader.
There was fash of fire from the cab
windows, followed by the report of a
half dozen rifles, and it was ali over.
1t was a sorrowful little procession
which wendell its way down the bride
path that led to the station agents hum
BILE home. Nearly all the passengers
were there. The conductor, accom-
panied by the doctor, had gone on in
advance TO prepare Etheps parents for
ner homecoming. The patient little
sufferer was reclining in a car seat,
borne by two stalwart miners, while
David Carson brought up the rear, lead
ing the badly used up pony.
We may, perhaps, never know lust
what took place at the agents cabin.
The only remark was made by the big
hearted giant from the gulch. When
the party had returned to the train he
drew sigh of relief as he exclaimed:
"Fellow citizens, I feel better"
The trainmen soon replaced the rails
which the robbers had removed, and No.
went on her way, an hour and twenty
minutes late.
1t was several months before Ethel
was able to again ride Snowflake. But
one day her father told her that there
would be new engine on the lightning
express, and he would like very much to
have her see it. So she rode over to
the station and sat gracefully upon her
pony as the train approached.
The first thing that attracted her at
tention was beautiful miniature milk
white pony, standing upon the front of
the engine, one foot poised in the air,
nostrils dilated and neck proudly arched,
for all the world like her own beloved
Snowflake, and seated upon its back was
very small girl, that dressed and
looked very much like herself.
Then her eyes fell upon the name Of
the new engine, painted in gold letters
beneath the can window. There could
be no mistake, for the letters were very
plain and read like this:

Bears Thicker Than Berries

Hogan Pearson, railroad night watch

of Newport, reports bear Whereabouts

THE ETHEL LYNCH.


Then, as the train swept past, the
passengers, who had been informed of
Etheps ride, cheered heartily in honor
of the little mountain heroine.
Surely, it is not to be wondered at
that the trainmen on the Silver Creek
road have warm place in their hearts
for the little girl out in Colorado, or
that the president of the road has hang
ing in his private office an oil painting
of "A Red Headed Girl and a White
Horse. New York Ledger.
