There are few people in this city
who will fail to recall the famous
bow and arrow game which was to
have been played upon an unsuspect-
ing lot of sports in Zion by one Sigh
mund Lafayette, assisted by some of
the leading lights of the inner circle.
Lafayette was man who could shoot
bow and arrow in manner calculat-
ed to make a Comanche Indian turn
green with envy. He was also a car
toonist and sign painter. and when
necessary could do fair turn at a
song and dance act, and take minor
part in a variety show
Sig. enlisted some people here who
wanted sure thing, ard got them to
put up lot of cash that he could not
take his bow and arrow and do better
shooting with it than another man
could with a rife, he (Sig.) to have
the selection of target. The afore-
said target, by the way, would have
been string, and while the rif1eman

fessed to believe everything would be
all right, and he and his friends warn
ed the referee not to turn over any
of the money until a decision from
competent authority had been OBJ
tanned.
He promised to hold the cash. and
all went into the city feeling confident
that the match would have to be shot
over again. Next morning Lafayette
and Eddys were missing. Inquiry on
the part of those who had put up The
money developed the fact that they
had taken the train for st. Paul The

THE CHINA TRADE.
WAR WITH JAPAN DID NOT IN
JURE 1T.
Some Figures That Will Prove of the
Deepest Interest-The silver Cues
ton There.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Unfted
States Minister DENLY, at Pekin, in
reporting upon the trade of China for
1895, directs attention to the fact that
the late war with Japan failed to in
! jure China's trade with the world at
large and that trade. really expanded
during the year, Notwithstanding the
loss of Formosa and the closing down
of the New Chang custom house for
several months. With the United
States the trade was less than for 1894,
| but was greater than for any other
year in the preceding eight years.
The exports to the United States in
1895 were $15, 1888, 402, and imports from
the United States $5,094, 1872, 100000
being in kerosene. The imports of Rus
sian oil exceeded those from America
for the first time, probably owing to
the heavy imports of American oil in
the preceding year, which left large
stock held over.
/ In the internal development there
has been no want of progress though
the expectations of foreigners that the
old Chinese conservatism would be
broken down as the result of the war
was net completely realized. The Chi
nese are endeavoring to control their
own railroads by allowing only Chinese
money to be used in their construction
but this policy must in the end and
whenever long lines of road are con-
cerned, give way to foreign syndicate
operations. Meanwhile many agents of
American flnanciers are building rail-
roads and rolling stock is now in
China waiting for the announcement
of definite plans by the imperial gov
eminent, and at least two great Ameri-
can combinations stand ready to build
and equip any railroad system China
may desire.
While much may be done towards in
Producing American ships, arInor and
guns in China if manufacturers will
keep agents there steadily, yet Mr..
DENLY does not recommend the pres
ent investment of American capital in
the establishment of factories in China
at least until such a time as settle
ment shall be reached of the grave
question of the exemption of foreign
owned factories from taxation.
Touching the silver question, Mr..
DENLY says. 1t is safe to say that 1t
will be many years before native man
ufactured articles will drive foreign
goods out of the market. The silver
question cuts both ways. The mer-
chant in China buys for silver and
sells in Europe and America for gold;
thus he gains largely. On the other
hand he buys in foreign countries for
gold and sells in China for silver.
Prices for manufactured goods are
necessarily realized, but the volume of
trade continues to increase. Universal
binetallism would be welcomed by
many foreign merchants residing in
China. It is safe to say that scarcely
one favors free silver for his own
country alone.

STRUCK A LEAD.
wHDRE THE MANY CoUNTERFEITS
HAVE COME FROM.
"Little Pete,. of Recent Race Track
Fame, is Said to Be at the Bottom
of 1T All.

SAN FRANCISCO, May pat last
the United States secret service au-
thorities have struck a lead to the
source from which have come the
thousands of almost perfect imitation
half dollars circulated throughout the
Pacific coast. It is believed that the
counterfeits which absolutely defy de-
lection except when under a powerful
magnifying glass in the hands of a
clever expert. were made by Chinese
in their native land and brought to
this country last summer by the. men,
hers of the troupe of Chinese actors
who came to America to perform at the
Atlanta exposition. Alnl5St the entire
troupe is now in this city, having been
filling engagements in the Chinatown
theatres since returning from the east.

authorized coins have been disposed of
by Chinese and that Little Pete the

toriety, was back of the scheme. How
ever, the $4,000 that has been realized
has not been clear profit. as the coun-
terfeits contain almost the same
amount of pure silver as do the regu-
larly minted half dollars, but the ex-
tremely low price of silver bullion

fame. were III the scheme, and every
thing was lovely But at the last mo-
ment something happened to mar the
serenity of the occasion. Lafayette was
arrested and taken into court and the
game was declared off.
Sig. sought. new pastures, and went
to Butte. Since his arrival there he
has been engaged in shooting at the
mark, painting signs and doing other
little odd jobs calculated to enable him
to get along without work
Some weeks ago a young man ap-
peardd in Butte who could shoot a
rifle with marvellous precision. He
haunted the galleries in the city. and
in very short time his reputation
was well known. Finally he and La
fayette met, and a match was made
for 800 side. Others got in and back
ed the two imen, until the stakes
amounted to $500, all of which was in
the hands of a young and nice looking
man named William Eddys, who was
chosen by two saloon men who put
up the coin.
The match was to take place at the
race track, and at the appointed time
Lafayette, the rifeman, the stakehol-
der, a referee and several other people
were there to see the contest. The
rif1eman fired: and cut the thread the
first time. the second he missed, al
though he claimed the shot and Lafay-
cite did not contest. He fired the third
time and cut the thread.
Lafayette then took a hand. He
shot twice and cut the thread, but
when he came to the third shot he al
lowed the arrow to get away from
him. and the referee declared it was a
shot. There was a small sized row

MILLEN ATWOOD ESTATE.
CLAIM OF HIS DAUGHTER ARGUED
IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Deficiency Judgment Entered
Against the Utah Gem Mining Co.
For $54,111-short Orders, Pro-
bate Rulings and Court Notes.

The suit in the matter of the estate
of Miller Atwood, deceased, was ar
gued in the supreme court yesterday.
The petitioner and respondent, Flor
ence Atwood, claims distributive
share of her fathers estate. Her faith
err Miller Atwood, died December II.
1890, leaving an estate valued at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. He left
three children besides petitioner and a
widow. He left will in which his en-
tire estate was distributed TO his
three children otner tnan- the petseron-
er, and to his widow. There was no
bequest to the petitioner and her name
was not mentioned in the will. The
petitioner, who is minor, by her
guardian and mother, Mrs. Amelia A.
sutton, patitioned the court for a dis
tributive share of her fathers estate
as pretermltted child and heir at law.
The record showed that Amelia A.
Youngdale. mother of the petitioner,
at the age of 10 became the poiygamouS
wife of Bishop Atwood on February
29, 1876, he then being SO years of age.
The petitioner was the only child of the
marriage. The legatees Of Mr.. At
wood alleged that the petitioner was
not the child of Mr.. Atwood, but the
court below found that she was his
daughter and that the defendant had
not shown that the omission of the pc
titioners name from the will was in
territorial on the part of Mr.. Atwood
and that Miss Atwood was one Oh the
heirs at law. From this ruling the
defendant appealed.
The arguments were made before the
supreme court by Judge Henderson
for the petitioner and F. S. Richards
for the defendant, after which their
fonors took it under Amusement.
