Last week Constable Mart Hardin
with a deputy sheriff FROM the interior
OF the territory went up to Duncan
after Bill Bell, who is wanted formur-
der. They had not been in town but
a few moments when Il messeger was
seut out to Bell warning him of his
danger. Learning Of this the deputy
MD out so rs to capture the mau IL he
shunld circle into town, while Hardin
with Captain J. Il. Black, who is q
Graham county deputy sheriff, started
after Bell. After riding some dis
uaGce they saw some men coming over
a divide toward them. Hardin sus-
pected that . Of the party might be
Bell, so he turned to the captain aud
asked (which is tho man?p The cap
tain pointed out the nan on the ex-
treme left. When the two parties
met Mart hailed The mau on the left
as Bell, and he Indignantly denied be-
ing such a person. Mart demanded
au explanation, which Captain Black
gave 10y saying this IS not Bell, he is
the man who went out to warn Bell.
Bell turned back at the top of the Hill
aud did not come down" Mart put
the spurs to his horse and started over
the hill to see MIR. Bell, who had some
twenty minutes the startowing to this
delay. Hardin and Black followed
the trail all day, travelling some sew
enty miles. When IL got so dark they
could follow the trail no longer they
were close TO Duncan. They fonud
that a fresh horse and money had been
furnished Bell and there was no use
trying to follow him. Bell told one OF
his friends, who told Hardin, that
when he abandoned the trail they were
not half a mile apart, and that Hardin
and Black could have seen him when
they passed him, Tit had been light.
Bell says this was the third time be
had been chased by an officer and il
WAS the hardest u o the three. Mr..
Hardin does not know what to make
of Captain Blacks action. He cannot
tell whether he was thick headed Oh
was trying to help Bell escape.

CLEAN UP YOUR BACKYARD.

IT is high time the board of health
should begin its annual olfactov ex-
ercise, to inspect our streets and
alleys. The HERALD has observed
a few carcasses of dogs and cats
within the town limits, and has noted
the considerable dimensions of var
ious garbage heaps, lately made
visible by the removal of snow. The
board of health should discover these
lurking foes of humanity and not
desist in its good work till it has
transported all Objectionable matter
to the city dumping ground. Unless
some precautionary measures are
taken, cholera or the black plague
may be looked for. Egyptian flies
are Il dead sure thing.
Responsibility for the ~unwhole-
some condition of back Yards, and
chophouse environments does not
lie wholly with the board of health.
If any mar en- joys a graveyard smell
or a postmortem inhalation, let him
not renovate his yard or outhouses.
The blowfly has already begun BUSH
ness at the old stand. Microbes,
bachteria, germs of dreadful disease,
are in the air we breath. Let the
citizen who has a dirty back yard
do what he ought to do, and thus
ameliorate the woe which is sure to
come with the usual rage of spring
complaints.

MARS TOMS GRAVE.
A Faithful Old Colored Servant De-
voted to His Late Master.

81 saw a pathetic instance at
Greensboro of a negro's fidelity"
said w. l.. Williams, a travelling man.
"About ten miles from the town ] saw
a grave with a marble slab at it's head.
Seated near it was an old negro with
a bunch of flowers which he was plac-
ing over the mound. l stopped my
horse and spoke to him.
"Whose grave is that, uncle?"
asked.
"Mars' Toms, boss. I'ze his nigga
80, no. You are no mans niger
now. Didn't you know you are free?"
"Dunno muffin bout dat, sab. I'ze
Mars Toms nigga, sab, an he's wait

to sleep, an wen ] comes to cross de
riber of Jordan he'll jest hole out his
hans an he tells de angel at de gate
who | be, an he let me in. l dreamt
bout it las night, boss"
81 was interested in the old fellow
and wanted to hear his story. The
slab at the grave told me that it was
that of Col. Thos. Vim, killed at the
battle of Shiloh, and ! questioned the
faithful negro further:
"How old are you, ~uncle?"
"Most "A hundred, | reckon, sah."
"Were you in the war;"
"Went wifi Mars Tom, sab. I'ze
his nigga, an he's in heaben. I'ze
jest a-waitin' tell desc ole bones,

"Were you with him when he was

- found upon inquiry that the
story was true, and for a quarter of a
century the faithful negro had done
nothing but attend the grave of his
young master, whose body he
brought from northern Mississippi to

IRRIGATING RIVER BOTTOMS.
A New Pumping Arrangement That
Promises Satisfactory Results.

At the ranch of VIM. Rowe, IA mile
below Fort Benton, there is in course
OF construction an entirely new and
very simple a of irrigation, the
new wheel being the invention of
f. w. Mettler of this city. Supported
by a heavy chain and resting on an
incline is a large wheel, the arms of
which are sixteen feet in length,
which with the center piece, make a
wheel 33! feet in diameter. Attach
ed to the end of each arm is a pad
dle-board five feet in length, these
boards making a total spread to the
wheel, and it in turn works a pump
which is set On the river bank at a
height of ~ feet above low water
mark. The wheel itself is so arrang-
ed upon the incline hat it can easily
be run up Or down the same a dis
lance of l6 feet, and can SO be
quickly adjns ted to any height of
water. In theory the arrangement
seems all rig t and will be in oper-
alton by the end of the present week.
1t is being constructed under direc-
ton of Mr.. Mettler's father, who is a
practical machinist, and the inventor
guarantees the machine to hoist 700
gallons of water per minute. River

At the Bow street police court
Friday, Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor, charged with serious INSIDE
meanors, were brought up on remand
and formally committed for trial,
bail being refused. Wilde was much
more pallid and distressed than he
had seemed since he first appeared
IN court. 1t was necessary to allow
HIM "A seat in the dock, and he rested
there in "A limp fashion, paying no
attention to the proceedings. The
list of charges of gross indecency
against Wilde was read. He was
asked by the magistrate if he wished
to say any thing in reply. Wilde
answered: Not at present" Coun-
sci on behalf of Wilde made appli-
cation for bail, but the presidino
magistrate replied he considered the
evidence so serious bail could not be
allowed.

BOyhood's Dream--Manhood's Delu.

In the spring the small boys fancy light
ly turns to ponds and brooks,
With about a quart of angle-worms and
a nickel's worth of hooks,
Also a ton of patience and of faith an
ample store
To withdraw the wary bulllead from his
covert to the shore.
And that fancy never leaves us as we
stand beside life's sea
With painted bobs alluring great results
that ne'er can be,
To discover that at shutdown we have not
attained our wish,
But have traded off two pounds of worms
to get one pound of fish.

SPEAKING of the experience of
sheepmen who consigned their clips
in 1894, the Commercial Bulletin
says: Last year many Montana men
shipped their woods here on com
mission, knowing that if free wool
failed to pass they would make five
or six cents advance over the July
prices. The action of congress-,
however, went against their ~specula-
ton, and they have seen their wool
sell for less money in Boston than it
would have brought in Montana dur
ing the furry there. With the usual
lack of logic common to humanity
the growers are now belaboring the
unhappy commission houses for what
was really the result of the action OF
congress.
