PoMERoy, Aug. 5.--On the evening
OF August Bud Pettijohp, William
Lloyd and Charncey Taylor, all of
Columbia county, supposed cattle
thieves, were captured by sheriff's
posse In Garfield county. About fifty
shots were fired In the ARRAY. Petit
john was badly wounded In the leg
above the knee by two shots that shat
tered the bone badly. Lloyd was shot
twice through the calf OF the leg, be-
sides being grazed on the cheek by q
bullet. None of the officers were
wounded except Deputy Sheriff Allen
of Columbia county. who received q
slight scalp wound from the revolver Of
Lloyd, who seemed ~ pay particular
attention to him.
Owing to the fact that the farmers Of
Columbia, Garfield aud Asotin coun-
ties have had cattle stolen, the OH
GERS began quietly to investigate, and
found what 10 supposed to be well
organized gang of cattle rustiers, COM
posed mostly of men In and around
Dayton. The officers lad learned that
the gang would make raid In tho
latter part of August on cattle In Gar
field and Asotin counties. There was
accordingly formed at Pomeroy,
sherlfi's posse composed of Deputy
Sheriff Tom Burlingame, Lew It'd
well, Sam Shawley, Pete Ssttsr, Eher-
iii Dickson OF Garfield d3nty, and
Deputy Allen of Columpia county.
On the evening of tho 4th, while the
posse was eating supper 1t
the old Freeman stage sta
ton on Alpowa creek, Pettijohn
and Lloyd were seen approaching.
When they came up 10 the station they
were ordered to throw up their hands.
Pettijohn at frat agreed, but Lloyd
jumped from his horse, which was
jaded, and commenced firing. Petit
john then followed Lloyd's example.
After desperate running fight they
were shot down and captured. Taylor
was captured without resistance about
three miles further down the canyon.
He had two horses In his possession,
supposed TO have been taken from
Asotin county.

We come next to consider Dr. Blacks
criticism ON the Prohibition Party. He
says:
Now, the National Prohibition Party
goes further in the direction of cen
tralization than any other party that
has ever existed in this country. This
being the case, there are thousands
and tens of thousands of as good peo-
pie as ever lived who oppose this party
on principle. They are in favor of the
suppression of the liquor traffic; but
they regard this as the proper work of
the State, with which the general gov
eminent should have nothing to do.
There is but one thing to commend
the above paragraph and challenge the
admiration, and that is its bold and
reckless originality. We have heard
a great many excuses offered by men
who called themselves Prohibitionists
for not uniting with the Prohibition
party, such as that there was no neces-
sity for new party; that they didn't
approve it's attitude on the tariff, the
financial question, woman suffrage,
control of corporations, immigration,
Sunday law, its opposition to gamb-

An Adventure with Lion in Southeast
Africa.
Two lions had been shot, when we
both heard an animal breathing along
side of our shelter, within a few feet
of us. and the next instant a gentle
shake given to the hut, and noise, as
of one of the loose branches with which
it was covered being torn off, let US
know there was another lion in our
neighborhood even more enterprising
than the two that had been shot.
1t was soon evident to me that the
animal was looking for an entrance to
our shelter, for, after tearing off few
more boughs, it got to the place where
we had crept in, but which was now
blocked up with poles. Here it halted,
and from the way it kept touching the
poles, seemed to be trying to get its
paw through. This was a little more
than I had bargained for, and at the
risk of mourning the charge of inhos-
pitality, l resolved to try to keep our
visitor outside in the cold. OF course,
while the lion was acting in the man

not idle.

have got its paw between two of them

shoulders through, would have infalli-

To prevent such contamination, l
now pushed the muzzle of my rifle be-
tween the poles, just where my ears
told me my would-be interviewer was
moving them, and pointing it upward,
holding the stock on the ground, pulled
the trigger. Once more, and for the
third time that night, the report of the
rifle was answered by the most terrific
grunting roars it is possible to con-
ceive, uttered as they were within six
feet of our ears.
