l. L BY 4 MEXICAN.

A dispatch from Rawlins Saturday
says: Frank Adams, a s~on-in-law of
Jim Baker, the Snake river pioneer.
was shot and Killed by a Mexican
sheepherder named Cristine or Cata-
rina, yesterday afternoon. Adams,
who owned a ranch on Slavery creek.
near Dixon, 70 miles south Of here,
had a difficulty with the Mexican be-
cause the latter drove his band Of sheep
across Adams irrigating ditch. The
American procured a Winchester from
his camp wagon and shot Adams
through the body. He then turned his
band over to the wagon boss and left
for the mountains. A posse has gone
in pursuit, A messenger came to Raw
Inns for the sheriff, but if the Mexican
is caught before the officer arrives his
services will probably not be needed.
This difficulty will serve to widen the
breach between the sheep men and the
ranchers in southern Wyoming and
northern Colorado.

UP WE'LL,

George w. Fox, who came in from
Cooper Hill yesterday afternoon, re-
ports the scene out in that district as
one Of unwonted activity. The miners
on the Ella G.. are now working day and
night and feel greatly elated over the
prospects for rich developments. They
have penetrated the main mineral de-
postt In the mine and the body Of ore is
improving steadily as the cut deepens.
1t Is expected that they will have to 20
40 to so feet before striking the quartz
lite they are looking for, but when this
Is reached they are sanguine 1t will
prove very rich. The shaft in the Little
Ella is now down 70 feet and the drift
from the bottom extends into the hill
to the distance of $50 feet.
Mr.. Fox visited the Yankee Boy
claim at the head of Chenille and
found that a fine vein Of gold and cop
per quartz had just been opened up.
averaging 10 feet in width.
The Albion, so Mr.. Fox says, is show
ing up better than at any time since 1t
was opened up. A large body of high
grade ore has been struck in the main
shaft and there are toni and tons OF the
same ore on the dump. The Emma G
lead has also opened out into a six-foot
vein, which gets larger as work pro-
ceeds.
The Croesus tunnel is now approach
ing the 500 foot mark and work is being
pushed to reach the contact.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Monday evening, about 6 O'Clock,
says the Saratoga Sun. as William
TurnDu.l was passing over the road be-
tween here and the ranch Of F. F.. Cow
err on Cedar creek, he discovered Ira G.
Wyant OF Hay creek, lying about thirty
feet off the road in an unconscious con
dition. He sen word to Covers ranch.
a mile and a half distant, for help.
while he took the boy to a nea by irri-
eating ditch to do what he could to re-
vive him.
The little fellow was denuded of all
his clothing but his shirt and shoes,
and his body was covered with bruises.
Marks in the trail Of the running horse
showed where he had struck the ground
once at an interval of 81 feet. and
again at "a feet in another-and the
trail led along the road through the
sage brush and now and then a cactus
bed. He was moaning and throwing
| his hands when found, and Mr.. Trun-
bull carried him half a mile to water,
bathing his head and face which re-
vived him somewhat.
Mrs. Cover soon arrived on the scene
in a buggy and took the unconscious
boy to her home, while Trunbull came
on to town for medical assistance. DR..

FOilcd After All.

During the Peninsular War q num-
Der of English officers had established
a mess in q Spanish village, with ma
tive cooks, whose efforts were fairly
satisfactory to the keen appetites OF
the campaigners. They were joined,
however, by certain peevish, cam:
tankerous Major, who bitterly COM
planned that every dish was favored
with sugar-after the Spanish fashion
and quite UNBEATABLE. Finally, he
confined himself to diet of eggs
boiled in the shell. "They can't sugar
those" he cried triumphantly. Bat
lis triumph was short lived. Next
morning some mischievous subs were
at the mess table before the Major,
and emptied all the salt cellars. replace
ing their contents with powdered
sugar. The major soon appeared, and
with gloomy complacency began upon
an egg, with which, as usual, be took
plenty of ''salt." At the first mouth
full his face turned purple with rage.
"Sugared, by Jove" he exclaimed,
and rushed off to his tent.-Argonaut,

The Maple Of Ratibar.

In the town of Ratibar, Prussia,
stands one Of the most wonderful
trees IN the world, says the St. Louis
Republic. 1t is not of gigantic size or
the only representative of species in
which all the members except itself
are extinct. 1t is q common maple
which shows wonderful combination
OF nature and mans patience and in.
genuity. The tree is only few years
over century old and during its en-
tire life every limb and twig has been
patiently trained by its owners. At
present it looks like a living pagods,
the branches being so trimmed as to
make it appear like o round tower
with two stories. Each of these COM
partments is lighted by series OF
eight windows, and the two ''rooms''
will each hold dozen persons. Tha
floors as we'll as the sides of these WON
derful rooms are constructed of
boughs, which are SO skiufully woven
together that the whole has the ap-
pearance OF being some glgsatic imi-
tative freak, Of nature.

ITO BE Continued
Tho Pen.

The earliest mode of writing was
on bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stones,
ivory, bark, and leaves of trees: and
from the latter the term "leaves' of
paper is probably derived. Copper
and brass plates were very early in
use, and a bill of feoffmcnt on copper
was some years since discovered in
India, bearing the date one hundred
years B. G. Leather was also used
as we'll as wooden tablets. Then the
papyrus came into vogue, and about
the eighth century the papyrus was
superseded by parchment. Paper,
however, is of great antiquity, es-
pecially among the Chinese; but the
first paper mill in England was built
in 1888, by a German, at hartford,
in Kent county. Nevertheless, it
was nearly a century and a half-in
l713-beforc Thomas Watkins, a sta
TONER, brought papcrmaking to any
thing like perfection. The first ap-
proach to a pen was the stylus, a kind
OF iron bodkln. but the Romans for
babe it's use on account of it's frequent
and even fatal use in quarrels, and
then it was made Of bone. Subse-
reeds. pointed and split like
pens as in the present day, were used.

THE most recklessly extravaganza
woman has a vein Of economy some
where in her composition. Economy
is born in woman. 1t may not de-
yelop in a manner to prove beneficial
either to herself or her husband. Yet
there will always ne some point at
which she will retrench, will look
well to the pennies and think and
calculate with the ablest tinancier.
She may be willing to pay 800 for a
gown, but will shop all over town to
save ten cents yard on the lining.
She may spend SIS for ride in the
park, but she will begrudge five cents
car fare when out shopping. She
may stint the table at one time and
be wildly extrayagant at another. She
may ruin whole garment by the de-
sire to finish it cheaply, which desire
has remorSefully seized her at the
last moment, but there is one thing
in which she never economies. When
she loves she loves with her whole
heart. There is no stint-only a Civ
ing of all the wealth of her affection.
Therefore do not laugh at her little
economies; simply remember that a
woman to be womanly must be lust
made up Of those contradictions that
seem SO ridiculous to the average
masculine mind.

Justice a low creeping thief in the
