A HUNTERS WARNING.

Tomorrow, we believe the old game
law permits the killing of deer and ante
lope. AS with chickens and ducks and
other game. there are hut comparatively
few of the deer kind left alive within the,
county borders now, and ou. only hope in
keep up the supply of deer target, is the
industry of the Oliver and Mercer county
deer dogers who chase the frightened an,
imals across the Missouri to this side.
There will be n few deer killed, and Sc
cured, but the greater part destroyed, will
be wounded by shot or pop gun hunters,
and make feed for the badgers and coy
otes. AS deer grow scarce and hunters
multiply, danger to the latter thickens.
Once more the LIE ADER, as in the two sea-
sons past-utters its warming. not only to
the excited NERVOUS or criminally care
less hunter, but to their destined victims.
Every year for many years IN this section
the hunting season yields up in sacrifice
victims to those who should never be al
lowed to carry gun. Scores, too, of mis-
sing ponies, cattle, sheep and even hogs,
are blstted from the living herd by the
color blind marksman, or the gun trap
string across the path tiend. AS VIC have
said, tomorrow the slaughter begins. but
before the biting of November winds come
to US, who will be sacrificed; dragged forth
from the bushes in blanketed bier to
follow in the line of young Claude Hollsy,
Joseph Walkup and the host of other
victims of the optica; illusionist-
the nervous maniac; or worse yet-the
designing criminal.

Black leg seems to be restricted more
or less to certain localities. The reason
for this is not thoroughly understood;
vhether it is owing to certain conditions
Of soil that favor the germ, is not known.
The bacillus causing this disease, like all
bacteria. has power of infinite multlpllca
ton; they produce death by rapidly IN
creasing in numbers and producing SUBJ
stances that poison the animal body. Inc
snore of this bacillus will remain alive
for years after drying, will generate and
nroduce disease when inoculated into the
animal. The way cattle are infected 's
through cuts, wounds, scratches, ahraslons
ON the skin, in mouth. or tongue, or
throat. The wound through which the
coutagion enters may be mlcropic in size.
Owing to the fact that the spore of this
bacillus will resist destructive agents. for
80 long time under favorable circum-
stances, the danger of careless handling
of The dead and infected animals will be
seen. A dead animal thrown into creek
or loft lying on it's bank may with the
spring floods carry the seed of disease for
many miles along its borders, aud as the
water falls leave it on the grass along the
banks within reach of the cattle. Dogs
or wolves may iced on the carcass and
carry the carry the germ for many miles
on the teeth and lips, or drop it with the
facces. Birds may do the same thing.

Charles Sepphic who two years ago
made temporary residence in the Coal
Harbor neighborhood, and was frequently
in Washburn, seemed clever young
fellow, with no outward show of the de-
velopment of the chronological bump of
badness, but since his shooting OF Bill
Allin last fall at Culbertson, and escape
with four others from the Glasgow Jail
this spring, desperate career is in store.
Up near the town of Glasgow, in Val
ley county, Montana, the dead BODY of a
man was found lying in the bed of Will
low creek, on August 18th. The
sight that met the eyes of the discoverers
was terrible one The body Of man
lying on bis face, with long, faxen hair
bleached by the sun and rains, his body
b]oated and swollen and partially buried
in the sad of the creek, made spectacle
says the Glasgow Gazette, that will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
When the body was turned over there wes
sharp crack and the trunk turned over
headless, that part of the body having
rotted of. An examination of the clothes
revealed no bullet holes, and the position
of the body gave the appearance that the
man met death while stacking his thirst
at the creek. The body of the dead man
indicated person of about feet in
ches in height, and all that remained of
his features by which he could possibly be
identified was his hair, which was long,
yellow, and of IL very fine texture. Some
time ago, Frank Smith, George Trotter,
Charles Nelson and Charles Seppich,
broke jail at Glasgow and escaped. 1t

man is that of krank Smiths. Jam.s
Coyle, who is now in Jail at Glasgow. tes-
titles that he believes that the body is that
of Smith. The Gazette further says: Be-
yond doubt, Smiths companions in crime
most foully murdered him, aud committed
the deed without giving him a chance for
his life. While drinking they probably
broke his neck with the but of rife OF
else shot him. The position of the body
bears out this thery, for his right hand
lies beside his body and near his gun as
though he had tried to pull it from it.

an isolated, gloomy spot for. their dark
crime. Far out in the bad lands, beneath
high cut bank, they robbed thei. victim
of his life and left his body a prey to the
coyotes and maggots. Il is we'll known
that Smiths companions feared him. It
was impossible for him to keep a secrct.
aud knowing this, they believed that
through his talking they would be cap

have taken him with them on their trip
when they broke jail, only that they dare

Lace from Bark.

The department of agriculture, for

lection of rare trees and plants only
second to that belonging to the famous
Kew gardens, London. A recent addi-
tion to this Neurological museum is a
'lace bark tree" from Jamaica. The
inner bark of this queer tree is COM
posed of many layers Of fine and intri-
cately-woven fibers which interlock
with each other in all directions. Caps,
ruffles, and even complete suits of this
curious vegetable lace have been made.
It bears washing with common laundry
soap, and when bleached in the sun
acquires degree of whiteness seldom
excelled by artificial laces made of cot
ton, linen and silk. This intricate web
of this unique bark makes it compare
favorably to tho last mentioned produc-
tions for both beauty and durability.
