To Love Der Seems Fatal.

A drummer who arrived recently from
Phoenix tells of girl who has lost by
death three men to whom she was sue
cessively engaged. In the first instance
the youth, to whom she had been be-
trothed for a year and a half, expired
on the very eve of the wedding. In
the second, another young man, to
whom she had been engaged soon after
the melancholy event, died a few days
before the marriage, and his successor
in her affections has now shared sim.
liar fate.
1t seems that sundry ancient females
Of the neighborhood, attributing this
series of calamities to the fact that the
young woman had the "evil eye" have
calmly. suggested that the only remedy
to be found is burning her alive. On
that score there be no fear, Of
course, but the general opinion is that
her chances Of meeting with a fourth
sutton are now infinitesimaI
The unlucky girl Is described by the
Tombstone Epitaph as being Of an ami
able and sympathetic disposition, and
as being, moreover, Of very attractive
appearance.

<RUSH FOR RESERVATION LANDS.
PRe Man, with Relays, Rode Forty Miles In
Little Over Two Hours.

Lewiston, Ida, Nov. 20.-The first man
to make fight on the Nez Perces reser-
walton lands, which were opened to set
Element Monday, was Stephen HaZar.
He presented powers of attorney from
three old soldiers-Captain Tamblin,
Colonel Hammel and w. p. Human.
They are the promoters Of the.town site
of NJ Perces. Jacob Pippinger of Lee
land, was the winner in an exciting
race, with a valuable farm for stake.
He arrived upon the land one minute
after II o'clock. He had relays Of saddle
horses, and rode more than forty miles
over a rugged trail in two hours and
twenty minutes. He passed enyious
neighbors, and excited strangers, in his
mad ride, and filed his claim without a
hitch.
Word comes from Cottonwood of a
demonstration by an organized COM
pany that drove a weaker party from
land that was claimed by both parties
The stronger party threatened to hans

jumper.
The Indians do not take kindly to the
idea Of being outnumbered by the
whites upon the domain they have
owned SO long. Many of them are fol-
lowing the whites around, and the pres
ence of the natives here has occasioHefi
uneasiness on the part Of the stronger.
There is no reason, however, for dis
trusting them.
There WAS much excitement over the
selection Of town site for Nez Perces
A. public meeting was held by 200 men,
who desired to make entries on town
lots. They refused to agree to the de-
mands of the original promoters of the
site. and this will. perhaps, result in a
rival town.

Notwithstanding the Claims Of the Sens .
tive City Of Chicaee.
After taking into full account the
claims Of the sensitive city of Chicago,
it may be truthfully stated that the
city of New York Is the Paris of Amer
lea. There are other municipalities
which are doing their best in their sew
eral ways to rival her. but it is toward
New York that all the eyes in the ceun-
tryare turned, and from which they
take suggestion as q cat laps milk. The
rest Of us are In measure provincial.
Many of US profess not to approve Of
New York, but tasough we cross our
selves piously, we take OF read a New
York daily paper. New York gixss the
cue alike t. the Secretary Of che Treas
ury and (by way Of Lendon) to the So

try seek New York az a market for their
brains. and the wselthtest people Of tho

Hanged by a Dog,

Santa Fe. N. NJ, Nov 2O-Jesus
vialpondo and Feliciano Chavez pro-
fessional stock thieves and murderers,
were hanged in public here yesterday.
They confessed. Their necks were
broken. One thousand persons saw the
mon hanged.
The deed for which the men died was
the killing Of a rancher, Tomas Mar
tineZ, forty miles south of Santa Fe,
last January. They murdered him for
his horse and overcoat and burned the
body in a campfire. They also wound
ed Mariners dos, but the animal
reached home and next day led search
ers to the campfire. There the dog
scratched in the ashes and whined and
barked until the ash-heap was raked
over. The posse found one of the muir.
dered mans feet encased in an over
shoe and later discovered Martinez's
effects in possession Of Vialpondo and
Chavez.
