Accidentally Killed.

On last Friday, Ben Pace, q ranchman
residing near Clayton, this Territory, while
riding over the country in company with q
young man named Lavender, a resident Of
Texas, who was visiting that locality buy
ing cattle, handled his revolver carelessly,
when it was accidentally discharged, kill
ing him almost instantly. Lavender was
arrested on the finding Of the jury, who
charged him with the killing of Pace, but
the general impression seems to be that
the story as told by Lavender is true and
that the killing was the result Of an acci-
dent. Lavender belongs to a wealthy
Texas family, but was compar Atively un-
known in the vicinity where the tragedy
occurred.

Much Ado About Nothing.

In reference to an item appearing In
THE Optic of Tuesday evening, to the ef-
feet that Rev. r. M. Craig, Of SAINT Fe,
had attempted to rob a woman Of her good
name, THE Optic will just state, at pres
emit, that a woman lecturer called at the
minister's house, over there, and was
shown into the parlor. Soon after her de-
parture, some silver spoons were missed.
Though she was the only person who had
been in the room, excepting immediate
members of the family, yet she was not
suspected till a report reached the place
that she had been accused Of appropriating
other peoples property in other places.
Then 1t was that Mr.. Craig incidentally
remarked that the woman might have got
ten away with the spoons, a la Ben Butler
at New Orleans.

1t might be objected to the alignmentof

BECAUSE OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
And the cause of war was the Golden
Fleece which Jason had brought back, he
and the Argonauts, and set up in the middle
Of the Temple of Delphi. Now the Per
slams, who were more numerous than the
locusts of Egypt, gathered themselves to-
gcther and decided among themselves that
it was idiotic to worship the yellow skin
of a ram goat, and they made law uL:o
themselves that the skin of the white goat
of the Medes and Persians was worthy Of

Temple.
InB C. 1892 there was great war be-
tween the Medes, Persians and the Greeks,
in which the Padded Prophet was chosen
to the place of Delphic oracle, and he sat
in the high place, and he. was grateful to
the Medes because of saying among them
that the W hite goat of Media had found
favor in his sight.
No sooner had the Delphic oracle, called
the Padded Prophet, been seated on his
tripod than lie abandoned the white goat
and there were murmurings of war again
from among the Medes and Persians.
The Medes and the Persians indeed had

Their army was innumerable, but they had
with them an Independent and unlimited
number of white swine, and these they
traded two for one for yellow goat OF
lamb for change in the commissary.
On the third night, and here the narrative
differs from the story ofth heGrecianmasters,
the Spartan band from New York princi-
pally, determined to go forth through the
pass, fall upon the hosts beyond, and slay
them at the point OF ruse de guerre. For
this scheme there was appointed a steering
committee to take charge OF the ship as
that was the only kind of war engine Leoni-
das had ever seen.
THIS committee was composed of bar
barians who had come over to the Greek
camp in the middle of tn e last night and had
agreed for 10000 drachmas TO steer the
ship amid the rocks of which the mountain
was almost entirely composed with the
exception OF the narrow defile called the
pass.
1t was just before daybreak when the
Greeks arrived at the mountain. David
had huckled on the sab-e de son pere, which
is a slightly anachronistic description. but
he did carry the same javelin which he had
erstwhile hurled so vigorously at Bo:e-
sias and the Padded Prophet In the former
battle OF Porkville. The stuffed oracle
bore the Excalibur, SO called from being
out OF date and a misfit, and before him
was spread the shield OF Ajax, made OF

had turned back and swore mig hty oath
that he would defend the Pass of Ther-

Prophet called unto him the herald and
proclaimed mighty prootamaticn that if
thereto the Greeks did not fig hit they could
not be victors.
Therefore the herald called forth all the
able .ot,ied men in the Kingdom who would
defend the Golden Fleece aga inst the

The oracle appointed Leonidas the
centurion over all the hundreds that were

Then they buckled on their armor and
set out in the dead Of night to storm the
city of Porkville, which commands the
