case came from Winchester rifles.
During the balance of the day, tina
appearance of miner at the pit
mouth or the tipple was a signal for
renewed firing. Word was sent to
Grayson, the county seat, and the
sheriff and a posse of deputies were
quickly summoned. They spend the
day securing the hills and succeeded
in capturing George Tyree, James Co
burn. Bob and John Taylor, Will

were unarmed when found and pro-

Thomas Hennessy, of Whitneyviile
while recently haying in the meadow,
heard fiuttering in the brook, and
upon investigation found mink hold
ing a duck under water near some over
hanging alders He made splash on
the water and the mink abandoned the
duck, which came to the surface and
feebly tried to swim. The fowl, which
was easily caught, soon expired from a
wound in the neck. Mr.. Hennessy
placed the duck upon the grass within
a few feet of his work, and while yet
meditating upon the prospects OF rich
stew from his unexpected capture his
attention was again called by the agi
tation of the water. He turned in sea

of his bird. The thief was holly pur

A GREAT CAT, THIS.
How q Maltese Circumvented 372 Ware

How Maltese Circumvented 372 Ware
house Rats.
Custom House Broker Jones tells a
good cat and rat story, and he vOuches
for the truth of it. The fact is, he has
told it so often that he really believes
it himself, if no one else will.
Mr.. Jones formerly had charge of a
grain warehouse that was infested
with rats-great big gray fellows, with
bobbed tails and ears fringed from
fighting.
81 had to get rid of them in some
way" says Mr.. Jones, ''for it cost too
much to feed them and repair. the dam
age they did. Why, one of those fell
lows would gnaw the side of burglar
proof safe out in night. tried traps,
but 1 think one rat would hold open
the trap while another stole the cheese.
Then they would spring it. Finally,
left the traps open, and occasionally
would find one set and baited with an
old chew of tobacco or cigar stub.
l think those rats had some idea OF
trapping me-
81 was telling a friend about my
troubles one day, and he volunteered
to lend me his Maltese mouser, a great
big nervous fellow, with plenty of cum
n1ng. I was afraid the rats would be
too cunning for him, but his owner as
sured me that he would clean them out
in hurry.

warehouse 1 heard some racing and
running, and on peeking out saw that
cat playing with, a great big rat They
were rolling over'an over each other
and enjoying the fun hugely That
made me hot, but I left them to Their
fun. The next morning there was more
noise than before, and saw twenty OF
thirty rats chasing around having fur
with that cat. On the third morning
there must have been couple hundred
of them, and everyone was having q
barrel of fun with that cat, pulling his
whiskers, his ears and his tail.
1.-THE next morning there was nc
noise, but there, were three hundred
and seventy-two victims of misplaced

A BIG DEMONSTRATION
OF Idle Weavers in the Principal Streets of
Fall River, Mass.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 17.-There
was another big demonstration of idle
weavers on the South park and in the
principal streets to-day. At 10 o'clock
some 5000 people congregated in the
park. carrying flags and banners and
cheering and yelling alternately. A
procession was formed and, headed by
a band connected with a visiting show,
which volunteered it's services, line
of parade was taken through the
streets 10 the southern section OF the
city.
There was very good order main
tanned, although between 1000 and
5000 operatives struggled along the
march. The music OF the band enliv-
ened the processionists. and there was
much more hilarity than was mani
tested on Monday. Nearly one-half of
the column was made up OF women and
children.
In the southern section of the city It
was feared that there would be trouble
because of the inexplicable and bitter
feeling entertained against Agent
Chase, of the King Phillip mills. Moth
ing more than considerable hooting
was INDUCED in, however.

The Revenue Appointments.

The list Of officials so far selected
by Collector j. W. Hunter to assist
him in gathering the internal revenue
taxes for the Fifth district. was pub
lished in THE ARGUS last evening. A
glance over the names of the men
shows that Rock Island has been
studiously overlooked in the way of
patronage. not even securing the
quota of offices which had been given
it for many years past. THE ARGUS
but reflects the sentiment of the
Rock Island democracy in saying

uting the patronage ut his disposal.
is not Mt all rclishcd. This city's
population and its contribution to
the internal revenue tax Golfers is
not equaled by any other place in this
division OF the district. and there
fore the appointment of n deputy
collector. local gauger and stamp
clerk. as heretofore. was very mod
est expectation. In fact. the party
leaders inclined To the belief that an
equitable division of the ..loavcs and
fishes" would entitle Rock Island to
n couple CT extra gaugcrs or store
keepers ut least.
But Mr.. Hunter evidently took n
diametricalIy opposite view of the
matter. Judging from his actions. He
has not added to that which we had.
but taken thercfrom. In other words,
he has taken an office which logically
belonged here and used it to settle a
postoiiice controversy at Monmouth.
Mr.. Hallam was at first rendered the
place. but courteously declined. feel
ing that his acceptance would COM
promise him with his political
friends in Rock Island. Then his
opponent for the postoflice, $. u.
Phelps. was told he could have the
plum. and he decided it was best 10
give up an uncertainty for n sure
thing.
Thus 1t is that Rock Island was
robbed Of her heritage. She was
compelled to yield up her mite on
the altar OF Monmouth avarice.
However. Mr.. Phelps ambition has
been satiated to some extent and Mr..
Hallam will get the postoiiice-at
least we hope so.
Rock Island was not entirely ig-
nored. however. by Mr.. Hunter. He
gave us n stamp deputy, and while
he may not have followed the wishes
Of the local democracy in his selec-
tion. still he did not take the Office
away. For this small crumb we are
truly thankful.
