Buried With Her Money.

John Claypool, of Prineville, knows
the spot in the forks of the San tiau

for nearly so years, says the Crook

dying. I he aged squaw had lecom
possessed If 80, which she had earned
by picking berries and selling them
to the white settlers, and the money
was in the form of S. gold piece. AS
she neared the confines of the happy
hunting grounds" the old chief, in
tent upon making sure that his squaw
should carry her possessions with her,
made her swallow the gold piece, and
assisted in the operation by ramming
it down her throat With his fuger.
The squaw died and was buried, and
the money has laid in this strange
'casket for well-night half century,
says the Journal. "Ha4any a time, ("
John says, "when was boy, I have
looked at the spot where the old squaw
was buriedaand wished I had the So
gold piece that was buried in her
craw."

c.. S. Rrattan, one of the principal
witnesses against Kilfeather and Wal

brought back TO Portltnd Sunuay,
'om San Francisco on Il bench wa
rant issued by Judge Bpllinger. 1te
Deputy United States marshal sent af-
ter Brattan had no difficulty in finding
his man or in bringing him back.
Brattan was willing and uncomplain-
ing pr soner. He was found in the St
Nicholas hotel, in San Fran cisco, act
ing in the capacity of waiter in the
dining room. The news thot he was
wanted Vas surprise to him, but he
maize no objection to accompanying
the officer to Portland.
Brattan appeared before the United
Suites district attorney Monday morn
ing. and asked what was wanted of
him. He was told that the only object
there was in sending for him through
the agency of banch warrant proceed
ings. was to insure his appearance
when the case rgainst Kilf"ather. Wal
ker and Taffe came t" trial. AS the
trial was set for January 10, it was
thought best to have Linn on hand.
Brattan Is the principal witness, he
having turned states evidence, and
without his testimony the prosecution

A middle aged man called on Mar
shall Lauer this morning. and claimed
to have been robbed in a lodging house
last night. The marshal went with
him to Investigate the case, and when
he arrived at the house and began to
inquire about the affair it was found
that the man hao hid his money under
the pillow. When he awoke thi-
morning, and found his money had
been taken from his clothes, he immed-
lately thought that some one had
robbed him.
A. M. Williams & Co. have again
one of the most realistic window dis
plays that has ever been shown in The
Dalles. In fact it would be a credit to-
any city While looking at the win

was in a balloon taking birds eye

Klondike. The log cabin is true to
life, while the sun which is made of
neckties, is a perfect represe ntation of

This morning as one of the Christ
mas tree wagons was returning home
after disposing of load of trees, the
horses became frightened at the steam
saw that was saving wood in the alley
between Second and Third streets.
The horses made a break for liberty
and the way they went up the street
would have put Ben Hur to shame.
They kept in the middle CT he road
until near the school house, when a
turn was made to the East which
brought them up agail st telephone
pole with dull, sickening thud. This
endel their flight and turned the
wagon over. The driver soon came
along, Strengthened things out and
went after another load of trees as if
nothing had happened.

sters.
Fred N. Jones, of Bakeoven, one Of
the Wasco county legislative delega-
tion, was in Portland, Sunday, and
tells the Oregonian a story from Sher-
ar's Bridge, that fairly rivals the
ancient ard well-known story of the
children in the wood.
Representative Jones has nan e.
sake living at Sherrar's Bridge,
who is the father of two bright
boys, 7 and years of age. Sew
eral days ago he sent the youngsters
out to drive band of hogs out of a
field near by, and they scampered off to
carry out the mission intrusted to them.
That was the last seen of them for two
nights and day, and their absence
from the family hearthstone naturally
creaced great commotion.
When the children failed to put in
an appearance the first night, several
hours after they had gone to drive out
the hogs, the greatest alarm prevailed
in the Jones household. The search
for the little ones was kept up all
through the night, and tie next day
the entire community was aroused.
Every body was out on the search, but
no trace of the missing children could
be discovered, and when another night
came, the parents were distracted ove r
their loss.
The following day, after hours of
searching. the lost were found. Both
were discovered asleep in straw
stack. in which they had burrowed,
and when found they were benumbed
with cold and half famished.
They could make no explana tion of
what they did during the lorg and
anxious hours that others were search
ing for them. They remembered that
they had started out to drive the hogs
out of the field. and then, tired and
worn out, they had crawlnd into the
straw stack and fallen asleep. There |
were no goo1 robins to cover the little |
waits with leaves to keep them ar
but, Locked in each others arms, they
securely slept, unmindful OF the dis.
tress their prolonged absence hs d
caused. and of the prov ling coyotes
that wander through the nights over
the fields and ranges of that portion
Of the state. The youngsters are
again safe at home, and it II be
many long day before they are dis
patched to drive hogs out Of the field.

recently visited this mine, and re-

There are 800 feet of tunnel running

Retribution overlook Him

throwing snow balls at a Chinaman,
who did not seem to notice them until
struck in the face with ball, consist.
ing mainly of mud. He gave chase to
the boys, but, as soon as they crossed
the street, they separated, going in
every direction, but the Chinaman had
his eye on one of the offenders, and
let the others 60. TIE one he was
after, thinking perhaps to elude his
pursuer, started across the street in
the mud, and whenshe was about half
way across, stumbled, and fell in pool
of muddy water. The Chinaman, evil

been appeased, stood on the walk and
enjoyed hearty laugh, while the faci-

GUT WITH WIRE ROPE.
How Stone Is to Be Taken Out Of AZ
Eastern Quarry.

How Stone Is to Be Taken out of as
Eastern Quarry.
Those who have INDUCED in deep seq
fishing know how the fish line cuts
deeply into the hard wood of the gun
vale as it is hauled in while taut.
Even an iron protection, after time,
shows the wear of the rope, which is
comparatively soft. This, says the De-
troit Free Press, gives a clew to the
invention of an Albany quarryman for
cutting stone. Instead, however, of
hemp, he proposes to use wire rope,
and with this ne will carve the marble
and stone right out of its native bed.
The wire is wound in strands, and has
very rough surface, powerful machin-
cry gives a strong and steady strain.
and the stone, yielding to the constant
wear, parts, with smooth edges. 1t
would be easy enough to cut the blocks
after they are removed from the quar-
~, but where the cleverness of the in
ventor comes in is devising mechanism
that can be applied to the stone while
in the quarry. This is effected by sink
ing two parallel channels in the quarry
to a depth of little greater than that of
the lowest level of the stone to be cut.
The channels may be from 2 to 100 feet,
or more, apart. AT the bottom of each
is made a small hole to receive the foot
ends of the shafts of the machine. This
is the only preparation of the quarry
that is necessary. The ropes, which
are coiled on huge drums, are then
rassed around the channels, and as the
drums revolve the cutting proceeds.
Suitable brakes are provided for the
regulation of the speed and pressure.
The ordinary speed of the strand is 500
feet minute, so that mile length
of it passes in six minutes. While the
strand is moving, crushed stone OF
chilled shot and water can be intro
duced to increase the attrition. Far
better, however, than either Of these
ia q composition obtained from the
tailings of a, magnetic iron separator,
which costs about one-tenth as much as
thu chilled shot. 1t does not leave the
lines caused by the shot. and it can
be used over and over again.
