How the Indian Boy Knew.

The old story of the man who described
the lost camel so accurately that he came
near being arrested as the thief, finds its
parallel in the Apache country, where an In
dian boy so accurately described horse and
rider that the soldiers who were after the
thief took him prisoner, and would have held
him but for the fact that he guided them
to the real thief. The horse had been
stolen by deserter who was trying to make
his way out of the country. \ squad of
cavalry was after him, but had missed the
trail Meeting an Apache boy, they asked
him if he had seen a man on a horse go by
that way. He asked if it was a sorrel
horse, lame in the right hind leg, ridden by
a tall man, who belonged to the army. On
being answered in the affirmative he said
he had not seen him. This made the ser
geant angry, and he ordered the arrest of
the boy for killing the man and stealing
the horse. The boy protested his inno-
cence and told how he knew that the horse
was a sorrel and was lame. He showed
where the horse had rubbed against tree
and left some sorrel hairs; he showed the
tracks of the animal going over a damp
place, and showed that the impression OF
the right hind foot was lighter than the
others. He showed where the man had
got down from the horse, making the mark
of his heavy army boot in the soil, and
showed where he had got up and broken
off limb of a tree at such height that
only a tall man could reach it. The sol
ders were not convinced, and the boy
offered to trail the horse if they would re-
lease him and pay him. This they agreed
to do and he led them to the deserter.

fusion followed The first three cars were
telescoped, the tops torn off, timbers
wrenched to pieces, rails were twisted like
twigs and baggage and boxes were mixed
up and broken. The passengers numbered

tor, were burned early Tuesday morning
with heavy loss. The new mill contained
"a gangs of saws and large amount of un-
finished marble. Proctor has no fire de-
partment of its own, and at / 80 it looked
as though the Patterson e Hanley mill
was doomed, but at l 40 a steamer arrived
from Rutland and the fire was gotten under
control.
The finishing shop was destroyed, but
the fire was kept from spreading beyond
the heavy wall at the north end. The loss
is from 900 to 100000; insurance

AVERY PROPER PROTEsr.

Mary Perry,s Father Speaks His Mind. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 It is shame and an outrage for any paper to publish such reports as those circulated about my daughter, Miss Mary G. Perry, which are false in every particular.
 We have trouble enough without the police and reporters trying to scandal ize the poor girl in this, her hour of suffering. It is strange how much, the police of this city know about women. They are always ready to gossip to re- porters. If they knew half as much about the thieves as they do about the women of New Haven it would be much more to their credit. I want the papers to contradict the statements they have made or there will be trouble. and want them to state their author ity for such statements. The poor woman is suffering enough without gos- siping police worrying her with their dirty reports. w. D. BATES.
