The Failing star.
A little maid by the window bar
stood eagerly watching a falling star;
She clapped her hands with quick delight,
But grew demure as II passed from sight.
One moment still as the star low dead,
The next she lifted her curly head,
And said with an earnestness none could
doubt;
II fink it's q tandle dat Dod blew outi"

Alone.
Since she went home
Longer the evening shadows linger here,
The winter days tll SC much OF the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched q minor strain.
The old glad songs breathe a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed;
Untouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed:
Ny lonely heart hath nowhere for Its rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts
and fears,
And the dark nights have rsined in lonely
tears,
Since she went home.

Fire mt Each other without Eject.
A reputed bad man with a revolver met
another man with another revolver In John
wright's saloon at 1916 South Twelfth street
at 1890 this morning and came out OF the
resulting scrimmage a little the worse for
wear. Both men we're arrested. Their
names are Charles Morrison and L.. j. Proc
tor.
The trouble between the two men is said
to have been over a woman and started about
an hour earlier than the shooting occurred.
Both men we're drinking and at that time one
shot was fired, of which It is said that Proctor
was the author. At 1890 Morrison was in
the saloon, when Proctor again entered and
fred a shot at him, without warning, 1t is
said. Morrison dropped behind the bar and
when he came up again he had a gun In his
hand. Everybody cleared out of the place
and Morrison and Proctor fred a couple
of shots apiece at each other
when Proctor lost his revolver on the floor.
Morrison r%efrained from shooting, and while
the two men were struggling for the weapon
on the floor Special Officer Cullen entered
and succeeded in separating them. The floor
was covered with blood and a considerable
amount Of glassware was broken.
When Proctor was examined 1t was found
that two bullets had grazed him, one on
the head and the other in the hand, and that
Morrison had not been hit.

The tragis death of Perry Derry at Glen
Loeb followed swiftly upon theheels of a
curious prediction made by him, says the
Philadelphia Record,
"If l were to be killed today I have fifty
white friends who would contribute half
a dollar each to pay for my funeral" he
said to a friend on Saturday afternoon.
That evening he was run over by a train
at Glen Loeb station, and has since expired
in a Philadelphia hospital. One of his legs
was cut off and the other was crushed.
Perry Derry was as odd as his name
He was a colored man, and was only fouI

pulled out of their camp at night, leaving
| fires burning and their tents standing to hold
off pursuit by the hostiles as long as possible.
There were wounded, some of them des-
| perately wounded, to be carried, and the
| guide, the only one of the scouts who had not
broken, was not more than half to be trusted.
The trail was nothing better than a cat track
at any stage of the game, and the troopers
were about as high strung from their after
moons experience as they well could be.
There was no telling whether the Indians
were five miles or 500 yards behind them,
and every now and then a SILVER would go all
through the line as some one at the rear
would say, There, they are coming!'
Just about daylight, when the command
was trailing up the last and worst of the
mountains to be crossed, and when a wounded
man who had been deiirious all night had Just
died and been strapped across a pack mule,
not a very nice thing for weak nerves to look
at, Blacksmith Martins horse slipped over the
edge of the trail and went rolling down a
ledge of slippery shale. 1t was the only horse
in the troop, and not a man but Martin, from
| the general down, would have thought of get
ting him again.
But Martin did. Sport was a pet horse, and
he had all the hardy Norseman's equipment
on him which was not to be relinquished
without o struggle.
Come on, Martin, he's a gone horse" said
the lieutenant, who was at the rear of the
column, as the horse to his feet

"He got mine saddle, he got mine outfit, he
| got mine everything. l don't lose dot Sport"
And with that he went sliding down the steep
after him, and jumping into the saddle
l.trotted off to make the nearest cut of over a
mile to rejoin the command on the trail.
This was through a strange country orna-
mented by 500 Apaches, who were hungering
to kill white men by slow torture.
This display of nerve did more than any
thing else to restore the confidence of the
| column, and the men laughed for the first
| time in twelve hours. They pushed into Fort
Apache that day and saved the post, with
| the women and children and $50, 900 rounds
| of ammunition, from falling into the hands of
| the hostiles. Martin joined them and subse-
uuently rode Sport clear to Dakota. He was
mentioned in orders, and the next year won
his medal and gallantry pay in the fight of
Cheyalon Forks.

Mrs. John Peterson, living at 2409 North

were painfully and perhaps fatally burned
by the explosion of an oil stove at $50
o'clock.
While lighting an oil stove preparatory to
cooking supper, the oil receptacle in some un-
known manner took fire and exploded, throw
ing the burning fluid over the entire body of
the woman and setting fire to the one-story
frame house. with her clothing ablaze the
frenzied woman picked up her baby and
pressing it closely to her breast ran through
the burning building into the rear of the
house.
Her hasty flight famed her burning gar
ments into a blaze and blistered and burned
her entire body, as well as that of her infant,
in a sickening manner. An alarm was turned
in and the flames of the burning building
soon extinguished. Kindly %neighbors took
the suffering mother and her child.
A physician was hastily summoned and
the scorched and scared bodies wrapped in
cotton, with a soothing lotion. The suffering
of the two unfortunates was p!tiful in the
extreme. 1t was the opinion of the attend
ing physician that both of the fire victims
would not live until this morning.
