SOLD WITHOUT TROUBLE
THE GULF SHORE KNOCKED DOWN
FOR $4,000.
The Names of the Purchasers are With
held, But it is Believed That Dull
mig, ireland and Terrell Put
Up the Money.

Oscar Bergstrom bought the San
Antonio and Gulf Shore railroad
yesterday for $4,000. The road
was sold at auction in front OF the
courthouse door, as per order OF
court, and no bid of less than $780,
600 was to DE entertained. Mr..
Bergstrom bid $4,000 the first
clatter out Of the box and had no
competition.
twas a source Of speculation
this morning as to who the pur-
chasers are. Some believe because
Of Mr.. Bergstrom's connection with
the Southern Pacific company's
legal department that corporation
is behind the deal, while others
maintain that the stockholders
have reorganized and put up the
money with the intention OF COM
pieting and operating the road.
The Southern Pacific people claim
they have too many railroads on
hand now and that President
Huntington would not care to
spend any more pocket money un.
less he wanted to give some OF hi 8
friends little railroad for q
Christmas present.
Still another report is that Mr..
Yoakum is in the deal for the'Frisco
line, since his appointment as gen.
eral manager of the road, but as
Mr.. Yoakum is very reticent on
his appointment, that report. ca n
not be taken as reliable.
The most creditable belief is that
the stockholders have reorganized
and bought it.
1t is learned from several pal
ties, all of whom are interested in
the deal, that the purchase money
was gotten up as follows: Estate Of
John Ireland, deceased, $4,000;
George Dullnig $4,000; Henry
Terrell, $4,000, making a total Of
$4,000.
1t is also reported that check OF
$4,000 was paid this morning as
the first payment which is to be
used in paying for the labor of the
road.
Mr.. Dullnig stated to LIGHT
reporter this morning that it seems
like he is out of it. He said he
had been trying to have the stock
holders reorganize, and hoped that
they would.
Mr.. Bergstrom said that he is
not yet prepared to give the names
OF the purchasers, as many papers
will have to be drawn up yet, and
a new charter filed. He did not
deny nor affirm the report that the
stockholders mentioned have
bought the road. Mr.. Bergstrom
does not pay much attention to
Capt. William Davis remarks,
that the purchasers have bought

ConxIcts Build q Prison.

The state of Montana is about to be-
gin the erection of an additional prison
on the grounds of Deer Lodge, on which
the penitentiary now stands. The new
structure will accommodate 300 con-
victs. A peculiar fact in connection
with the undertaking, says Helena
special to the Chicago Record, Is that
the prison will be built by convict labor,
and that many Of the men who will help
build it will subsequently become occu-
pants Of It. We're it not able to employ
convict labor the state would have to go
without this additional prison for some
time at least, as funds are scarce In the
treasury.

Where sea-Blrd Nests Abound.

The cliff where more sea-birds are
said to build their nests than in any
other place in the world is on the coast
of Norway. 1t is 1000 feet high, and
gies by the name of Svarholtklubben.
Kittiwakes have built their nests of
sea-weed here for ages in innumerable
quantities. They remain from year to
year on the narrow shelves of the cliff
side, being repaired, like crows nests,
for each coming season, and added to
until they hang into space. When tour
lists come to inspect this colony a gun is
usually let off, whereupon so many birds
arise that the mass darkens the whole
sky for the moment.

CURIosITIEs OF PUNCTUATION

The following specimens of curious
punctuation appear to have been cut
and dried with great care: A man who
was suddenly taken sick, "hastened
home, while every means for his re-
cOvery were resorted to. In spite of
all his efforts, he died in the Christian
religion" "A man was killed by a
railroad car running into Boston, sup
posed to be deaf" A man writes:
I'VE have decided to erect q school
house large enough to accommodate
500 scholars five stories high" On a
certain railway the following luminous
direction was printed: Hereafter
when trains in an opposite direction
are approaching each other on sepa-
rate lines, conductors and engineers
will be requested TO bring their re-
Spective trains to a dead halt before
the point of meeting and be careful
not to proceed until each train has
passed the other" A steamboat cap
tain, advertising an excursion, says:
Tickets, % cents; children half price
to be had at the office" A hotel was
thus advertised: This hotel will be
kept by the widow of the former land
lord, Mr.. Brown, who died last sum-
mer on a new and improved plan"
Wanted, a saddle horse for a lady
weighing about $50 pounds" An To-
wa editor says: I'VE have received a
basket of fine grapes from our friend
W., for which he will please accept
our compliments, some of which are
nearly two inches in diameter"
Board may be had at No. 4 Pearl
street for two gentlemen with gas"
Over a bridge at Athens, Ga, is the
following: ANY person driving over
this bridge in a pace faster than a
walk shall, if a white man, be fined
So, and if a negro, receive twenty-five
lashes, half the penalty to he bestowed
upon the informer." A newspaper
contained this: 1--WE have two school
rooms sufficiently large to accommo-
date 300 pupils one above another"
Another newspaper, in describing a
convention at Cleveland, said: 1.-The
procession was fine, and nearly two
miles long, as was DR.. Perry, the
chaplain. NIX.

BICYCLE IN POLITICS.
Signs that it Will Play a Prominent
Part in the Coming Campaign.

Signs that it Will Play a Prominent
Part in the Coming Campaign.
In the extraordinary republican jol-
LITIGATION meeting which Immediately
followed the announcement of the
nominations here it became evident
that the bicycle was to play part
in the campaign demonstrations this
year; that there was a probability
that at least one bicycle campaign
club would be formed. The wheels
were in evidence everywhere, though
the condition could have hardly
been less favorable to them.
They flocked before and behind the
marching hosts, they were around the
band, they were ridden in orderly
columns, they wound their intricate
way from side to side like a new man
Hesitation of a prOcession's inevitable
attendant boys.
The Wheelmens' Republican Club,
when it is formed, WILDE second to
none of the marching organizations
in picturesqueness, efficiency and in
terest. The flare of the lanterns, the
rhythmic music of the tinkling bells,
the inscriptions which the riders will
bear, and the tricolor with which the
wheels will be decorated, will be car
ried swift and far. Distant streets
that have never known the tread of
marching campaigners, vicinities
where the political slogan has never
sounded by an organized body of
men, thOrOughfareS that have never
been lighted by the torch of march
ing Republicans can be visited east
ly by this club, can be made to ring
with the shout of Republican princi-
pals, TO Loyalty blaze with light from
Republican homes made brilliant to
greet the pilgrims.
Far into the country, too, this club
will carry its tidings and bring to
the inmates of dark and quiet farms
the enthusiasm of the great city,
where a concOurse of men eternally
feeds it.

LOGGING RAILROAD TO BE
BUILT,

Chicago, July S.-A dispatch from
West Superior says: The great
Weyerhauser logging syndicate will
build a railroad into Superior during
the present summer. This informa-
ton has been obtained from a reli-
able source and is authorized by the
statement of civil engineer, who
said that survey of the proposed
line had already been completed and
that excavations would begin in a
few weeks. The road will start at
a point on Allouez Bay, where the
syndicate has acquired terminal prop
erty, and run about 80 miles south by
way. of South Superior, penetrating
the pine forests of the country and
connecting by means of branches
with the numerous logging streams
1t is claimed that the syndicate will
be utilized for other traffic in connec
ton with other railroads as well al
for logging purposes. A saw mil
plant is to be built on the termina
property.

Harry Furniss, the London carica.
turist, told a story on George Augustus
Sala, at a dinner in Scotland, to the
effect that when Sala was q boy he in
tended to be a painter. At drawing
test, for admission TO an art academy,
Sala handed in the prescribed three
drawings of the human hand, head
and foot, but in the foot were six toes.
Sala sued Furniss for libel on seeing
the story repeated in print Such are
the English laws that although the
damages were mighty small, Furniss
had to pay the costs, including law
yers' fees on both sides, when iudg-
ment was brought against him.

Military system of the Boers.

The military system adopted by the
Beers is simple, and yet perfect in it's
way. Each district is commanded by
Field Cornet, whose duty it is in case
of alarm to issue notices to all in the
district. An alarm is generally brought
in by some herdsman or native hunter,
who has accidently run upon the enemy
or upon some rumor of his approach.
Mounted men at top speed are instantly
despatched to all quarters of the dis
trict and in a short time every family,
with household gear and herds, are
trekking as quickly as possible to the
district town in which is situated the.
lager. 1t takes but. comparatively
short time for every white man, woman
and child to be safely ensconced. The
defence attended to, riders are de-
spatched to meet the foe and bring
news of his approach. Messengers are
spurred to the Capital to alarm the
Government, and within a few hours
thousands Of the finest shots and best
equipped horsemen in the world have
assembled in defense Of their father
land, The Beers seldom attack the
foe; their general plan is, as in the
Jameson raid to hover around until a
convenient piece of country is found,
when, trusting to their prowess as
shots and to the excellence of their
horses to keep out of harms way, they
pour a deluge of lead on the foe from
long distance Forum

In the opinion of the New York
World, "the present condition of its
treasury makes it necessary for Spain
to bring the war in Cuba to the earli-
est conclusion possible. The deficit in
the treasury dates back to 1870, and
in time of peace it has been running
from 100000 to 112, 100000 pese-
tas. The country has debt of l.
962, 900, 900 pesetas, or over a billion
dollars. Its credit was long ago ex-
hausted. The resources of the Bank
of Spain at the beginning of the Cuban
war were about 500, 900, 900 in gold
and silver, with paper outstanding
against it at the rate of more than two
dollars to one. The common people
of Spain illustrate many of the home
" virtues. Americans who have lived
among them are apt to be enthusiastic
in their praise, but Spain is the least
advanced country of Western Europe.
1t has hardly emerged from the fif-
teenth century, and it would be inca
pable of carrying on an offensive war
against modern Power. Com pared
with the United States Spain is mere
infant in wealth, population and re-
sources. It's 100000 people are
mostly simple peasants, living OBJ
curely and almost contentedly under
an oppressive Government, which
though it wrings from them all it can,
can take little because their produc-
ton is limited and their net profits
nothing. They have aspired for free
dom and progress, but they have been
unable to break from the control OF
the haughtiest and most incapable
aristoeracy in Europe. But perhaps
for them, as for She people Of Cuba,
the day Of acknowledgment may not
be distant"

Highes. Of an in Leavenine Power-1.a,es, u s
Neatly Done.

Last night at half-past nine o'clock
as Deputy Sheriff John Ewing was
preparing to lock up Charles Wilson
for the night, recently bound over
from DeLamar on charge of horse
stealing, that worthy picked up the
slop bucket and walking towards the
door, ostensibly to empty the vessel,
suddenly slammed shut the inner
door, Immediately fastened the outer
one and made off through the back
yard.
Ewing, locked in the Jail himself
set up shout for help, which did not
reach him for nearly ten minutes, by
which time Wilson had made good
his escape. and in the intense dark
ness all idea Of tracking him was Civ
en- up until daylight should appear.
At daylight this morning two Indians
were put Oh Wilson's trail, and at nine
o'clock had succeeded in tracking
him beyond the fiat north of town to-
ward Spring valley.
1t was well planned escape. The
innocent looking slop bucket appears
now to have contained necessary ar
ticles Of clothing and food, and though
unwieldly, was held Oh to. as was
shown In the vicinity of the smelter
north OF town, where the prisoner
rested for moment, possibly listen
ing to the commoion existing at
about that time in the vicinity of the
Jail, at Ewing's release where a crowd
had quickly gathered. Wilson who
knows the country we'll, made direct
ly for the eastern boundary line of the
State, and il he has fallen across any
sort OF horse, is, ere this, we'll on
the Utah side of the line. Ewing
says he was following Wilson as he
started out of the Jail and was not
over two feet from him when he
reached for the inner door. This door
binds when closed, and Wilson knew
this and used the knowledge to good
advantage Phoebe Record.
