four gamblers, being nearly out OF pro-
visions, were frozen out and compelled
to return to Florence. The expedition
staked out Warren Meadows for them
selves and their friends Eight men
were sent hack to Florence Tor proyi-

claims. While the eight men were gone

The claims OF Warren Meadows were
abandoned and new claims stalked out
on the new field. When the men re-
turned from Florence with the provi-
SionS they were followed by about 600
miners, who suspected that rich dirt
had been found, and swarmed along
Warren creek and its tributaries, max
ing rich finds everywhere. The original
locators We're extremely fortunate in
the Summit Fiat diggi1gs. Two men
named Besse and Osgood worked to-
gether and locked out 100 ounces the
first day and 80 ounces during the next
forenoon. The assay Office had just
been established at Boise and these 140
ounces of dust were the first receipts
at the Office.

an ounce. the net returns of the two
men for a day and a half being 1850.
IN three weeks the party of 16 men had
taken out from their claims on Summit
Flat $4,000 ounces of gold. Before the
close of the season 600 ounces were
taken out, and the original members of
the expedition had enough money TO
keep them comfortably for life. About
as much more was taken out during the
next season, before the bar was ex-
hausted.
THE honesty of the miners in those
pioneer days was Illustrated by an in
cident which occurred during this
stampede from Florence. In the crowd
of 600 that followed the eight men sent
to Florence after provisions was a man
nicknamed Boston,, of a thrifty turn,
who bought two barrels of whisky and
a wagon, hauled by a pair of mules, his
knowledge of the average proSpector
leading him to the conclusion that the
crowd limited to water as e beverage
woul soon begin to suffer from the
pangs Of thirst. On the way to the dig
gings one Vandeventer offered him a
handsome advance on the first cost of
the whisky and, the offer being &C
cepted the whisky was turned over to

hung a tin dipper on the side of each
barrel, fixed a. contribution box up
against the tree, with a slot in the

| leaving the improvised saloon to take
care of itself. The miners passing to
and fro would take a drink, drop a con-
tribution in the box and pass on. Some
times several drinks would be taken

The Abuse of the Police Power.

Hon. H. c. Kudlich in the Forum:
The recent arrest by a police official
of a large number of persons found in
a place of amusement New York)-a
scooping-in process, as it were-was
and remains a disgrace to our system
of administering the law He knew
that, although q warrant had been is
sued by a magistrate for the arrest
of a certain designated person, this did
not authorize him to deprive of liberty
anyone else found on the premises,
who was not then and there guilty of
an infraction of the law. That the
magistrate discharged, without even
entertaining a formal complaint against
them, all the accused except the per-
son for whom the warrant was issued,
was assuredly not surprising to the
police officer. He must have known
that they had violated no law. The
magistrates had enunciated the princi-
pie over and over again-even before a
higher court was called to pass on the
question-that the mere presence of a
person in place alleged to be dis
orderly does not constitute him a vio-

their gifts of gold, spices and myrrh to
the wondering mother and wonderful
child This important incident is pictured
no less than II times in these first Chris
tan art galleries, pointing to the hope
of the believers that their God would
some day be acknowledged by the nations
represented by the magi of old. Another
striking scene repeated several times is
that of the man healed of the palsy by
Jesus on the Sabbath, as recorded by
Matthew Mark and John, with whom
fault was found for carrying his bed on
that holy day. But he replied: He that
made me whole, the same said unto me,
Take up thy bed and walk Doubtless
this act of mercy was treasured up as q
comfort in their time of suffering.
Another bit inspired by a similar de-
sire for faith in Jesus power to uplift and
heal is that in which he is seen with the
right hand resting on the head of a boy,
healing by the Laying on of hands," But
the most remarkable of this series, oc-
curing IS times on these ancient tombs,
is that of Jesus raising Lazarus from
death. The story to which this picture
refers was undoubtedly a faYorite with
these poor prosecuted believers who find
ing nothing but pain and suffering on
EARTH hoped in the resurrection to find
everlasting JOY. 1t reminded them too, OF
Jesus faithfulness to his followers, as
typified in his friend Lazarus.

MIRACLE OF LOAyES AND FISHES.
The miracle of the loaves and fishes
was also favorite with those ancient
artists, for it appears over and over
again in various forms. In one instance
the figure of Jesus as seen touching the
baskets with his staff. Another larger
group is evidently a Christian ideal
reminiscent of this miracle, in which
eight baskets full of bread and two
platters with fish on each are to be
se=n. Here it is not only the miracle
that appealed to these Christians, but
it is probable that it points to the pow
erty of many who required great faith
that God would provide Still another
group of Christians sitting, or rather re-
clining at their meal, shows a fish on a
platter, the general symbol of Christ.

of the police official in this instance
and the subsequent discharge of all

solutely just and necessary to the. lib

enunciated by the magistrates. The
police official attempted to justify his
action by the plea that the place raided
was the resort of noisome people Of bad
character and vicious tendencies, and
that the arrest and subsequent incar-
ceration of others-of those who, from
motives of curiosity, were there at
the time-would have a salutary effect
in Scattering away any intending
visitors from similar resorts. Truly a

that the notablss whom they met saluted
