the room, they found the girl, Cleo
Russell, half dressed on the bed, blood
squirting from wound in the left
breast. Sollars lay dead on the floor,
cinching thirty -eig ht-calibre revol-
yer, bullet wound in his left breast.

TO SAVE THE BASS.

The Game and Fish Protective Asso-
cialion of Maryland is working out a
plan which, it is expected, will result
in the saving of 100000 or more bass
to the Potomac river annually.
E,rly each December the water is
drawn off the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, which runs parallel with the
river. When this water is drawn Oft
there are numerous deep and shallow
pools lett. In these the gamy black
bass, big and little, take refuge. 1t
has been the custom to allow
any one 10 fish the pools, and
the fish have been scooped up by num-
dreds 1t is stated that this wholesale
destruction will not be permitted here
after. DR.. George w. Massamore, dep
ury game warden, has spent week
along the river, arranging plan to save
these fish. He found ready co-opera-
ton from the fishing clubs and residents
along the stream. A valuable ally was
found in Col. G.. l.. Nicholson, superin-
trrdent of the canal, who has issued an
order to all lock-tenders and OF er ca
nal employees instructing them to pro-
hibit the fishing OF the canal by any
persons except the employees of the
Game and Fish Protective Association,
who will secure the bass in the pools and
deposit them in the river to increase
and multiply.

An incident that shows the wonder
full power sheep possess OF living for
q long time without water is reported
from Invernesshire. About seven
weeks ago three sheep were missed
from the farm Of Balsparden, Arder-
sier. Every effort was made to find
them, but without success. A few
days ago, however, barley stack was
taken down, and the missing animals
were discovered imprisoned in the
wooden frame work in the centre.
They had subsisted for more than six
weeks on barley alone. One has since
died. London Chronicle.

Lived on What They Took.

There is one thing which is not gen.
orally known to the public. That is,
Mosby and his men never received
one cent from the confederate govern
ment. Each man provided himself
with his own uniform, horse, and
arms, and boarded himself. The
United States government furnished
us with captured horses, arms, and
ammunition, and the extra horses cap
tured paid CUR board; SO instead of
receiving pay from the confederate
government, we turned over to them
horses, mules and arms. I will men
ton one incident to show what an
honorable and conscientious man
Colo mel Mosby was. On the green
back raid, when we captured $168, 00G,
before division was made of the
money $4,000 was offered Colonel
Mosby which he declined to receive !;
nor did he ever take anything for his
use that had been captured. Wash
