determined, resolute men on the
upper slope. A wild yell broke
forth that was echoed and re-echoed
back from the surrounding noun
Ftains in hundred reverberations,
and the next instant score of will
ing hands had set the prisoners
free. Beidler was one of the firm
ones, and from that day virtually
became a spotted man.
That night Virginia City was
turned into veritable pandemoni-
um. Placards were stuck up here
and there bearing the words "Graves
to let" The three empty holes near
the gallows were illuminated by
fires, and tho three men who were to
have swung into eternity on the
spot stood there on the gallows' plat
form in the weird, fantastic light,
entertaining their friends with rum
and whisky galore.
On the other side of the town the
funeral of poor Dillingham; was 60
ing on, while the wretches who
killed him were celebrating his
murder with pandemonium fury,
All day long Dillingham's body had
been lying stark and stiff on bill
lard table in saloon with no one
in that wild, frontier city to do him
the last rites of burial. At last,
about twilight hour, few friends
gathered at the spot, among whom
was Beidler, and placing the re-
mains on pine board, moved
through the streets toward the new
made grave. On all sides were
reeling, drunken men, and the fun
eral procession was greeted at every
crossing with boisterous revelry.
He was laid away after a fashion,
and poor Dillingham's career was
ended.
The day had its lessons. however,
and it was not long before the good
fruit began to bud and ripen. Vigi-
lance committees were organized,
and in very short time lawful cit
liens in an unlawful manner began
to track and hunt down officers of
the law who were supposed to be
keepers of order and right. To
Beidler was intrusted the leader
ship in these dangerous enterprises.
Plummer, Ives, Stinson, Ray and
others were spotted, tracked, cap
tured and hanged-the leader and
sheriff, Plummer, actually being
executed, on a tree gallows of his
own construction in Dry Gulch,
near Helena.

A Youthful Financler.

There is a 12-year-old boy in
Harlem, known to his friends as
Charley, who, if he keeps on, will
be a railroad fnancier when he
grows up.
Like all small boys Charlie is
baseball fiend. About two weeks
ago he organized a club, had him.
self elected treasurer, while a boon
companion was made captain.
Then all of the thirteen members
went out to hustle for funds, so
they could purchase pretty uni
forms. The plan was a success and
fully $25 was realized.
At this point the fnanciering
commenced.
A meeting of the club was called,
and five boys, deluded by Charles
statements that there would be
more money to divide if they voted
as he directed, gave their voice in
favor of expelling the other six
members.
This brought the club down to
seven.
Then q new combination was
formed consisting of the captain,
treasurer and two others, who were
assured that they were on the in
side. It was four to three, and the
three had to 90.
Of the four remaining, Charlie
gave one of the two a quarter to
vote for the expulsion of the other
and then the treasurer and cap
tain promptly Sired" the traitor.
The club had now gone down to
two.
Charles called q little meeting
and said to his companion: "You
can't get cent, for every motion
you make I'll vote against it and it
will be lost. But if you will resign
I'll give you dollar
After mature consideration, the
captain accepted, and Charlie, sole
heir of the assets Of the Harlem
Howlers, was in possession OF
$24 so which he is saving up to buy
a bicycle with.-New York Com

Stampedes of Mining Days.

There have been many stampedes
in Montana within the last thirty
years-not stampedes of horses
and cattle. but of men. One of the
worst stampedes that ever took
place in Montana was to Sun river
in the spring of 1866. That was
one of the coldest springs ever ex-
perienced by white men in Mon
tana. A terrific blizzard set in short
ly after the stampede fairly began
for Sun river. No one knew what
had been discovered or whether
anything at all, but a rumor got
abroad that rich diggings had been
found, and nearly every man who
could rustic a small grub stake
and cayuse started for the supposed
new gold fields. At that day the
country to the north was not in
habited, and the sufferings endured
by the stampeders were terrible.
Many were frozen in the pitiless
storm, few lost their lives, and to
this day a few old timers are living
in the State minus fingers and
toes from that fearful trip.
But no one seemed to know then
nor does anyone now know exactly
how the great Sun river stampede
started. 1t is supposed to have
been caused by q letter written by
man who had gone north from
Last Chance in the fall. This man,
in his own estimation, had met
with fattering success. He had
fallen in with some friendly Black
foot Indians, secured a squaw who
had some horses and a tepee, and
was in land filled with wild game
of all kinds. He thought it was
the next thing to paradise. He
wrote to friend in Helena that he
had struck it rich; intended to stay
all winter, and was we'll fixed and
we'll satisfied with his find, failing
to state what that particular find
was. To the miners who saw it
there was but one meaning to be
attached to his words: He had
struck "diggings," and that is what
started the great Sun river stam-
pede in the early days.-Butte In

Fish That Do Not Spawn.

A prominent eastern naturalist
in letter to the editor of the Citi-
zen several years ago, in view of
some very curious habits of birds
and mammal life in Arizona, said:
Hereafter nothing from Arizona
will surprise me. The unexpected
is always to be expected. Apropos
of the foregoing it may not be COM
monty known that the native fish
in the Santa Cruz river bring forth
their young alive. A more remark
able freak in nature cannot be
found. The propagation of all
true fish is supposed to be by means
of the females depositing their eggs
in the water, where they hatch and
come forth, but the young of the
fish in the Santa Cruz are nearly
an inch long at the time of their
birth. Each female brings fourth
about IL to Is at a time. The male
adult fish reaches from three to five
inches in size, but the adult female
is scarcely half as large. In color
they are grayish brown on the
back with bright, silvery sides. At
the present time the females are
big with young, and strange ap-
pering. We desire to call the at
tention of scientists and naturalists
to this interesting and curious form
of fish life.-Tucson { A. T. Citizen.

A Human Being With 4 Dogs Head

The gossips say (but they say it
only in whispers, for fear Of arous-
ing the ire of the unfortunate faith
er) that there is a monstrosity of
"horrid mien" in one of the "first
families" of Greenburg, Pa be-
ing modelled after the immage of
the Creator with the exception of
its head, which is that of a great,
shaggy, pug-nosed, red-lipped bull
dog! The creature ( it can hardly
be called man or q woman) was
born in 1869, and is, therefore, "a
years old. Up to 10 years ago there
were but two persons in the world
outside of the family that knew Of
the existence of the monster-the
physician and nurse who were in
attendance at the time of the birth,
each of whom was sworn to keep
the awful secret, the alternative be-
ing death then and there. About
10 or IL years ago third person
learned the facts in the sorrowful
case, and through him the world at
large has learned all that is known
in regard to it. One day when the
family of the dog-headed child was
temporarily absent this man called
on some neighborly business. There
being no response to his continued
rappings, he pushed the door onen
and walked in. In looking about
to see where the folks were he
opened the door of the room in
which the freak was kept, and after
taking a good look atit was on the
point of retiring, when one of the
outside doors opened and the mon
ster's father, revolver in hand,
stepped into the room. The neigh
Dor was sworn, as the doctor and
nurse had been years before, never
to reveal the character of the con-
tents of that little side room. AZ
ter these preliminaries had been
settled and the conditions agreed
to, the head of the unfortunate
household told how they (he and
his good wife) had prayed daily
that the monstrosity might die,
yet it continued to grow and thrive.
Occasionally it would bark, howl,
whine and raise terrible furore,
but to keep the neighbors and the
public from guessing the secret
that was making their lives q tor
ture they constantly kept number
of large dogs about the house and
barn. Recently the man who ac-
cidentally unearthed this awful >se-
cret removed from Pennsylvania to
Texas with his family, and has
since told the story which has set
the Greenburg gossips to wonder
ing which one of their neighbors
owns the dog-headed monster.
Those who are sure they fathomed
the mystery do their talking in an
undertone lest they get chance to
look into the revolver presented to
the doctor and nurse away back in
'69. As the doctor who first saw
the monster has never made
statement concering the case (the
medical journals have not even
been apprised fits existence reas-
ons for the birth of such a creature
cannot be ventured.-St. Louis Re-
nnhlic

line between Pennsylvania and
Maryland and Virginia, surveyed
by Charles Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon between December, 1853,
and December 26, 1857. 1t is the
parallel of latitude 80 degrees, 4S
minutes, 26.3 seconds north. The
line as laid out began at the north
east corner of Maryland and runs
244 miles due west. The import
ance of the line was due to the fact
that it marked the northern limit

A Cruel and COwardly Attack.

From the St. Louis Chronicle.
The attack upon Mr.. G. H. Jones,
based upon his withdrawal from the
editorship of the Republic, made in
the columns of the Globe Democrat
this morning, especially that portion
of it which drags in the domestic and
social affairs of the Jones house
hold, was a disgrace to journalism.
1t is well enough to criticise a man,
in his public capacity, it is even al
lowable to poke fun at a vulnerable
phase of his character, or to carica-
ture, mayhap his personal appear
ance, but at these points the lines
of criticism should be sharply
drawn. To invade the sanctity of that
mans home by printing innuendoes
concerning the female portion of it,
is an exhibition of meanness little
short of diabolical. A chivalrous man
scorns to attack when conditions
are not equal; where the one attack

be no ~palliation urged for the offense
in question. 1t is cold-blcoded,

they should be heavily mulched.
In the spring when the mulch Is
taken off each piece of root will
throw up several shoots which, when
sufficiently large, may be trans
planted to where they are to stand
permanently. This is best done in
the fall. They can be planted in
rows from five to eight feet apart
with a shovel full of manure thrown
over them to prevent their being
raised by the freezing and thawing
of winter and spring. Success in the
management of blackberries depends
upon timely thinning and pruning.
Without these the patch becomes an
impenetrable tangle where, nothing
but birds can gather fruit. The best
way to destroy supertluous strong
suckers is to pull them out. When
young they can be removed with a
hoe. If this is done in June or July
few will start the following spring.
After bearing all old canes should
be cut off and removed and the
growing shoots pinched or cut back
to two feet in height to make them
stocky and self supporting. Fruit
may be expected the third season
after planting. If the season is dry
it will be best to mulch backberries
while maturing fruit. If this is not
done the ground about them should
be stirred and kept loose. They
should not, however, be cultivated
after the beginning of August as
that tends to keep their shoots ten
der and liable to be destroyed by
frost. Of the many varieties of this
fruit Early Harvest and Erie are
probably as desirable as any.
