sSM1ss FLAGLER's unintentional killing ot the negro boy at Washington establishes conclusively and for the steenth time the only safe rule of conduct for woman with firearms. Miss Flagler declares that she raised the window and. without aiming the weapon, fired two shots into the wide wide world, her design being merely to frighten the young African who was steal ing her fathers pears. Of course, both shots lodged in the boys vitals. Either would have been fatal. Now, if Miss Flag Ter had borne in mind the rule to which we have alluded, and had taken careful aim at the boy, he would have escaped all harm except such as might have arisen from the fright she intended to produce. When woman wishes to kill she may generally bring down her man by firing almost any where except in his direction. If she wishes to miss, she cannot be too particu- lar about her aim.

Alvin l.. FIX I'm Texas.

A. L. Fix, whose mysterious disappear

wonder. is about as lively corpse as can
be found anywhere in the country. His
supposed murder in st. Paul was created
out OF moonshine, and he is today liv-

Office address at Fort Worth, Texas. A
short time ago his parents, residing in
Ambia, Ill.,. received letter from him !;
and this week his father-in-law, J. l..
Chamberlin, OF the Natcheez, also had Il
letter from him in which he attempted to
justify his course. He said that while he
was in st. Paul he was assaulted and
robbed by supposed friend and when
he came to his senses he was penniless,
his watch and valise were gone, and he
had nothing but his clothes and a mort
gage aud note which were carried in an
inside pocket OF his vest. Suffering from
a blow on the head, helpless, and
with spirits broken, widow gave
him food, and he accepted the offer of
her son to go to Texas and work in his
granite quarry. While he says nothing
about sending the X. of z. emblem to his
lodge in an attempt to make his friends
believe he was dead-if such sending
were done by him-he attempts to justify
his silence by his misfortune and poverty.
By later reasoning he feared he had made
a mistake, and his letters to relatives is
the result. He says he has prospect Of
becoming the state agent for Texas OF
large brewery, and that he is determined
to recover fortune and friends by follow
ing the straight and narrow path and
paying the debts he contracted in Yak
ina. When he is able to do this he pro-
poses to return to his old home.

resultant of challenge issued by the

last, at the club grounds, Blue Rocks

contestant using single barrel, 12-bore
guns. The judges were Matt Bsrtholet,

arranged for. and the fun began.
Each contestant fired 90 shots. The
following summary shows what excellent
work was done, though not altogether
because the judges stated that Mr.. Grit

so have been counted had the latter
claimed (which he did not, thinking
it a miss:

the part of both gentlemen, and it seems
to have awakened an enthusiasm and a

SPOKANE. Aug. "A special from
Starbuck. Wash, says: The Burling-
ton road is coming west, and there are
reasons for the belief that it is coming
in hurry. A route running nearly
midway between the Northern and
Union Pacific. through a wild and un-
settled country. is now being explored
and surveyed with all possible haste by
the engineers of the company. who are
working miles south of the routes
usually considered available for
the Burlington. The engineers are
well supplied with surveying ap-
paratus and evidently are anxious to
get to work as quickly as possible, ow-
ing to the shortness of the season ON
the Rocky mountain slope. From one
of the1a it was learned they propose to
locate . line up the valley, working
east towards the Wyoming line and
probably crossing it in the northern
part of Fremont county, opposite the
National park, unless better route
through the Rockies can be secured by
crossing into Southern Montana.
