1t is not safe to leave young babies in
exposed places in the Black Hills. says
a Hill City special of the 18th inst. to
the Omaha Bee. This fact was demon
strated yesterday at fhe Ella mine
shortly after Mrs. Ben Bowman, n
miners wife, had placed a high chair
containing her young infant ear a
window. She had hardly turned her
back and resumed her ironing before
she was startled by a crash of broken
glass. Rushing to the window she
found one pane broken in and caught
upon a splinter of glass in it's death
agony a large hawk of the blus-wing
variety. The child was unframed,
though covered with fragments Of brok.
en- glass. The hawk, n Of the largest
of its species, would undoubtedly have
killed the child had it not been for the
protecting window light.

A Mystery Cleared Up.

A family mystery has been cleared
up by a Liverpool chimney sweep.
Having in the usual fashion swept a
chimney, he attacked the oven hues
with a hand brush, but encountering
unexpected resistance, he rolled up
his sleeves and introduced his arm.
After considerable exertion he got
hold of what proved to be a bag Of
some weight, and this he deposited
upon the hearth. Upon opening it he
discovered to his surprise that it con-
tanned about $40 in coin. The lady Of
the house was equally astonished; but
instead of showing signs Of gratifica-
ton she burst into tears, and almost
lost consciousness. The sight of the
money RECALLED to her the departure Of
a long-lost son. The treasure was the
result of hard saving, and to keep the
money secure she had put it into
chink in the chimney, and had forgot
ten its hiding place. Her son was not
a model of steadiness, and the mother,
not being able to find Her money. &C
cused him of having taken it He in.

county last week making speeches,

twice for joint discussion at some
of the points, but could get no sat-

and all the satisfaction that could
be Cotton out of his friends was,
that they did not propose to help

Hon. j. @. McGrew was charm an
of the meeting and about half the
voters present were designated as
vice presidents. About seventy. five
men and boys met the speakers at
the depot with red fire and red H.

were many ladies and children pres
emit, and 500 would cover the crowd,

and not half of them in the house.
