A GREwsoME TALE.
An Old Man Dies In Terrible Agony
from the Bite of a Dog.

Cleveland. Ohio, Oct. 8.-The little
town of Hinckley. twenty-one miles
from this city. In Medina county. was
the scene Of a grewsome death. Satur-
day. Nearly twenty years ago there ap-
peared in Hinckley a stranger, Of
whom nothing was known beyond the
name he gave, Bernard Shermann. and
with him came a big st. Bernard dog,
which was his ~inseparable companion.
The stranger took up his abode in
an old howell which he rented In the
lonesome outskirts of the hamlet. The
living place Of the old man gradually
became surrounded with an air Of mys-
terry, and the place came to be regarded
With superstition and fear. The mys-
FERROUS dweller rarely visited the vii
Age. and then only for the neoessaries
Of life, which he seemed to have plenty
Of money to pay for.
The old man had not been seen for a
long time. and an investigation was
begun. When the door of the hut was
broken In the old man was found lying
dead, chained to a post, the condition OF
the body telling OF a terrible struggle,
which the doctors have ascribed to n.y.
drophobia. Just outside the howell was
found the dog. The beasts death had
been caused by an ak wound In the
head.
The supposition is that the brute
went mad and bit its master. The old
man, realizing that death was inevi-
table. had locked himself In when he
felt the madness coming. chained him
seif fast, locked his letters with a pad
lock and threw the key away.
Buried under the floor Of the hovel
was found $13, 900 in gold. There was
nothing that could shed light on the
mysteries Of his life. In one pocket
was found an ocean steamer check
from Liverpool, dated November Q
1874. and on the wall hung an oil NINA
ture Of q lovely woman and q child
The body was given decent burial.

In THE CLOUD CITY.
PLENTY OF MINERS TO ARRIVE
THIS WEEK FROM MIS-
SOURI,.
Peter c. Turnbull Has Been Elected
President of the Miners Union in
Place Of Amburn. Who Has Not
Been Seen Since the Trouble at the
Coronado Mine.

Leadville, Colo, Oct. SIT is learned
on competent authority that between
300 and 400 men are to arrive this week,
and a dispatch from Kansas City is to
the effect that 1875 men from Joplin.
Mo-, left that city last night bound for
Leadville to work in the mines.
Manager Campion of the Little John
ny when approached on the subject,
declined to say whether these men were
for his mine or not, and said he did not
know just where they would be en-
ployed. 1t is known, however. that
the johnny is shortly to resume with a
large force Of non-union men, and
where they are to come from, II they
are not among the crowd from Mssou-
ri, il a mystery.
The city is very quiet today. No
shooting occurred last night.
At Camp McIntire everything is NOV
ing along smoothly. the men are becom-
ing used to the routine. and but for the
details at the various mines, the entire
ioitc o hCpl "lluIl ulc llucS. LUG
camp has not yet been moved to Car
Donate hill, although the guard there
and at the Maid Of Erin has been dou-
bled.
At a meeting of the Cloud City Min
ers' union last night Peter C. Turn
bull was elected. president. Whether
Mr.. Amburn has rendered his resigna-
tton or not is a question upon which
nothing can be learned. Neither can
his whereabouts be ascertained. Some
reports locate him in Mexico, while 9TH
ers have him in his grave. Anyway 1t
is safe to assume that his presence will
not be conspicuous in Leadville until
the present trouble is a thing of the
past.
Mr.. Turnbull, the new president, was
formerly vice president Of the union.
He is we'll known here in business and
political circles and 1t is generally con
coded that he Is the best man the min
ers could have chosen for the position.
The meeting lasted four hours, but as
to what other business was transacted
nothing can be learned, as the men re-
fuse to talk on the subject.
There is to be no triling with the
Maid Of Erin. The mighty pumps
which drain the Carbonate hill terri
tory will be guarded with the great
est care. The military authorities rec
ognized the paramount importance OF
this position, and ever since the arrival
Of troops have posted a strong guard
there, which during the last few days
has been doubled.
The Ell Paso mine has been the head
quarters for the troops detailed to guard
the various properties, over 100 men
making that their home. But this ar
rangement was highly inconvenient
and unsatisfactory. SO plans have been
perfected for quartering the men close
to the Maid. There is an abundance OF
water and a level stretch Of ground
where tents be pitched II necessary.
There Is under discussion a plan to
move the entire camp on Carbonate
hin, but no definite arrangements have
been made. In fact, it Is believed that
the move, involving expense, time and
trouble. will not be made without ur-
gent reasons.

ttcally no counties that will fail to
come up to Gov. Morton's phenomenal
majority Of 1894. while in most instan-
ces the Morton vote will be exceeded.
For instance, Queens county. where
there has been a strong silver senti-
ment. and which is claimed by the
popocrats, is counted to go for McKin-
ley by nearly 1000.
Conservative politicians who are en-
gagged in figuring on the city results
said last night that until they made a
further and fuller canvass they would
be prepared to see New York city go
II. 900 for Mckinley, and, on the other
hand, they would not be surprised il 1t
went 49, 0 for Bryan.

GOT H AGENT.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. S.-W. J.. Pritch-
ard, Santa Fee agent at Hope. Dickinson
county, will in a few days be trans
ferred to Ada, Ottawa county, and R. s.
Ortlip, now agent at Ada. will be placed
in charge of the agency at Hope.
This change will end an unpleasant
ness which stirred up intense feelings
at Hope and for a time threatened to
seriously threaten the freigh. business
of the Santa Fe from the southern por-
ton OF Dickinson county.
Some two weeks ago NJ. Avery Tur-
ner, superintendent of the middle d.
vision of the Santa Fe. received notice
from the merchants of Hope that un-
less immediate steps were taken to
remove w. ]. Prttchari. agent at that
point. a boycott would be declared
against the Santa Fe road. At the
same time notice was sent to the whole
sale houses furnishing the merchants
of Hope to the effect that all goods
shipped them over the Santa Fs road
would be refused.
On receipt of the notice Supsrintend-
ent Turner at nee sent a nan to Hope
to investigate the trouble. The investi-
cation has resulted in the decision to
remove Agent Pritchari as requested.

BONNER NEWS NOTES
The New Water Wheels Have Arrived
and Will Be Set
OTHER MACHINERY COMING
Then Fright Light viii Ee Sent
Into Missoula-The Coming Log
ging and Saving Seasons
At the Chicken Ranch

Bonner, March 24.-The two 56-inch
Leffell water wheels that will furnish
power for the new electric plant were
pushed into the railroad yards here
this morning, and the work of unload
ing them was begun this afternoon
The wheels are of the latest pattern.
and will furnish $50 horse power. The
power house is all ready for their re-
ception and they will be put in position
at once. A telegram was received here
last night from the manufacturers OF
the dynamos and other electric ma
chinery, stating that il had all been
shipped, and that the last of il will be
here before April /. The holes are all
ready for the line between here and
Missoula, and the poles are nearly ali
distributed. AS soon as the city lines
In Missoula are SET the linemen will be-
gin work on the line up the canyon
Unless some unforeseen conditions arise
the new plant will be in operation be-
fore May /, and Missoula will have
electric lights which will be exceiled
by none in the state.
Preparations are being made for the
log drive down the Big Blackfoot The
landings are being broken now as much
as possible and the running drive will
probably reach the dam here inside of
two weeks. The river has risen a foot
in the past two days and is rising now
at more rapid rate. AS soon as the
running drive is made, the rivermen
will work upstream toward the Clear
water and above. The drive this year
will be the most difficult that has ever
been made, as the river is very bad in
several places. For the drive from the
upper river two new bateaux have been
made, which are shallower and wider
than the ones ordinarily used, and
which have much higher and Sharner
bows. They are designed for crews of
eight, four oarsmen, a bowman and a
sherman and two helpers. There will
probably be some exciting scenes on
the river this year.
The sawmills have been put into
shape for the seasons run and there
has been some new machinery added
to the plant. The planning mills are
running with a small force now.
The Bonner poultry ranch is an in
teresting place just now. In the brood
ing pens are about thousand little
chicks and the incubators are adding
to this number every day. In some of
the hatchers are duck eggs and there !
will be some web-footed youngsters in !
the pens before long. The Matching |
has been more successful thus far this /
year than it was last season.
The pleasant park and the grounds |
around the hotel here will be even more |
attractive than usual this year, and the /
farm and gardens above the town will |
be more successful, as an adequate |
supply of water for irrigation will be |
provided For this purpose a big |
pump is being put in. This |
a minute and with this supply of moist
ure, the fertile fields at the mouth of
the Blackfoot ought to become a per
feet garden.
