last with light on The track, where
man stood swinging a lantern, AMI The
train pulled up. AS it pulled up there
vas volley OF H.. dozen SHOTS
poured into the train from the woods
near the track, which my men re-
sponde6 to on the spot, much to my
ohagrin, for l had wanted the robbers
to board us, where we could have them
in good shooting position, My men
were green, though, or at least moss of
them were, and they were so ratified by
the yolley that they foi got what they
were doing and banged away.
Nothing was left then but to give
chase. which we did for a few hundred
yards through the woods, but they got
away in the dark, and we found Moth

my friend, the inforn,er. Him we
found lying in the gutter on top of his
lantern, half scared to death. We took
him in, and as the train pulled out /
explained his part in the affair, ami The
millionaires were so pleased with his
heroic conduct in saving them that they
made up pony purse CT 81, 500 and pre-
scented it to him on the spot, and offered
him railroad job where he might
have a chance to lead new life.
HE took the money and the job, and
the next time saw him he was in tail
at Sacramento with bullet hole in
him. Before he quit living, however
he told Inc with a laugh that the
hold-up was fake from start to finish,
and that his wife did the shooting from
the woods with revolver and ran away
as fast as she could. They figured that
the rich men would make up some sort
of a purse, and if they didn't get more

amply for all their expense and trou-
BILE. AS for the risk, there wasn't any.

sore, and never told it till hal leen

HORSE POWER OF CANNON.

A recent issue of La Nature contains
a sncrt note in which the horsepower
of cannon is calculated. An Italian
cannon Of 100 tons, with charge OF
$50 pounds OF powder and shot
weighing about 1000 pounds, will give
an initial velocity Of 900 yards per
second: the length OF time during
which the power acts is less than one
hundredth of a second from which it
follows that the horse-l over developed
is about l7,00O,000.

WHY HE SAT-.
pom a bench he sat and sat

Upon d bench he sat and sat
While others came and went,
His face half hidden meath his hat
Showed doubt and terror blent;
His sweetheart passed, he didn't rise,
She knew not what he meant,
She little guessed the dreadful ties
Thai held him while she went:
For though with love his heart was
filled
He moved to no extent
Because he sat where some one slipped
A tube or bike cement.

POISONED WATER.
Cyanide Tanks WhereiA Animals and
 N Birds Drop Dead

On his last visit to Phoenix Syd Kempton of the VultuTe was talking about the cyanide works of Malcolm McLeish, at Smith mill, sixty miles northeast Of Phoenix.
 Cyanide of, potassium is what the teaching is done with" said he, 'tand it's wonderful the strength the pois- onous stuff has. You see the works and their well are just oa the edge of the plain and there is to be found the only water for miles and miles. Birds and animals comesto drink at the teaching vats and the solution kills them as quickly as though they were shot trough the heart It's clear and clean enough looking, but birds that drink tumble into the vats and eighteen coyotes have died in the last three months within ten feet of the tanks.
 A Mexican prospector, nearly dead of thirst, staggered up unperceived about two weeks ago and drank at one of the tanks. When he was perceived, only few moments later, he had got ten sixty feet away, the farthest dis tance ever attained by crea ture that had tasted the deadly wa.er. He would have been corpse in another minute. The antidote, sulphate of iron, was promptly poured down his throat and his life was saved"

 Woman in Brooklyn.
,anIyWher

BROOKLYN, Jan. 28.-Bella Clin- ton, who said that her home was in Boston, was a prisoner in the Adams street police court today, charged with raising check from $10 to s1,OO0. The complainant was John Durege. who conducts music school here. For seven months Miss Clinton has been bookkeeper for MT. Durege. On December IT, 1895, she expressed the wish to go hom to Boston. She had been in the habit of drawing checks for Durege and he told her, he says, to draw one for $10 payable to herself. When the check came back from the bank he found that it was for s1,OOO instead of $1O. He employed detect ives to get Miss Clinton back to Brook lyn. They arrived with her last night.
 In the police court when she was ar raigned she told Justice Walsh that she had come back from Boston of her own will, as she had done nothing that could not be explained. She said Durege knew she was drawing the check for s1,000, that after making it out she showed it to him, and he said it was all right She was held for ex- animation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-In his prayer the senate chaplain referred to the appearance of another star, Utah, in the constellation of states. He in- voked the knitting together of the hearts of all the people of the Union for the advancement and glory of our beloved country.
 Senator Ttrpie, Democrat of Indi- ana, in presenting a petition concern ing the Turkish massacres, said the Armenians were charged with no re- volt, but on1y with being Christians. The time has come, said the senator, when there should be official notifica- tion to Turkey and to the Mohamme- dan church that there has been de- cadence in their power to proselyte with the sword. ...s Senator Allen of Nebraska gave mo- tice of an amendment to the pending silver bond biM depriving the secre- tary of the treasury of the power to is- sue bonds unless authority is granted by congress.
