The Incident That Gave Death Valley
Its Name: Death valley in Nevada re,
ceived its name from an emigrant train
which went to pieces there half a cen
fury ago, and OF which the widest re,
ports went owe the country. The fact
that tho train contained a number OF
families intensified the interest and
sympathy. One report was to the effect
that the entire trains crew persisted
another. which was most generally be-
lieved, was that owing to disagreements
the train had divided and one section
OF 80 had last Is of its number and all
{. its stock. Even now, wierd stories
founded on that event come floating
back from distant or foreign papers.
Death valley is bad enough, but not
so terrible as 1t has been pictured. Lives
are lost every year, generally Of those
who do not know the water supply
places or who are lily prepared for such
a trip. Probably the true story Is told
by A.. Winters, who heard 1t from men,
bers Of the Bennett party. Mr.. Winters
is now living IL miles from Keystone,
Nevada. but within the State of Cali
fornia. He was the discoverer of the
borax mines 20 years ago, has been all
around Death valley, and crossed 1t
scores of times. In 1S49 the California
gold fever was epidemic, and about 1875
people, including several families who
had gathered from various parts Of the
country in Salt Lake. organized a train
and hired Captain Bennett as guide to
take them through.
They arrive at the sink by the dry
Furnace creek in a WORKOUT condition.
The furnishing stock drank Of a salt
spring and began to die. Four or i've
of the party also died. and the outlook
could not well be worse. They did not
know then, as where water could
be procured. and that there we're places
where it might be found by half an
hours digging. With encouragement
and CONSERVATION in camp, Captain
Bennett advised falling back to the
where there was feed, and
waiting until the next season. To this
proposition the train would not agree.
As Captain Bennett would not proceed,
he train began to disintegrate and
,roke into half \ dozen pieces.

A joke That Didn't Work: The IA
vorite game played on strangers at one
OF the Missouri stock yards is the mock
fight. Two of the local stock yard deck
a farmer. One word leads to another,
and in the heat of the excitement both
the contestants draw revolvers. This
IS all the average man who it not on
cares TO see of the fracas, for by this
time he is about foul blocks away. One
afternoon recently the chief clerk in
one OF the freight offices was down in
the yards when two fellows started a
sham fight. This gentleman had heard
of the joke before, but the fight was SC
sudden and so realistic that he lost nc
time in leaving the scene Of action.
When the guns were shown to him
and were found to have been corncobs
wrapped with tinfoil for cylinders, he
said he was ready to buy out a barron
But like many others this game was
worked once too often. Two fellows
both well-known around the yards
started a sham fight before a stranger
who happened to be from Texas. When
the part came where they draw guns the
Texan pulled an enormous As that look.

needless to say, it was the jokers who
did the hot foot this time and the joke
hasn't been played since.-Denver Field

the story as follows: We left Oma-

thing we did was to get the heavy wag-

we could do to pry it out. We made
four miles that day before we camped.
The next day we reached the Elkhorn
and found that it had swollen and flood
ed over a space OF about four miles, and
this had frozen. We dug through and
got across someway, and this was but a
sample OF what the whole trip was, al
most every river flooded, while we kept
running into mud holes that gave us a
great deal of trouble. We reached Fort

IT IS NOT FAIR.
SENATOR WARREN ON THE
DINGLEY MoNSTRosITY.
Not Proper Nor Just That One Sec
ton of the Country Should Be
Given Buzzard While Another
Demands Turkey.

Washington, April accommodating
today upon a statement by Senator
Chandler, in which. the New Hampshire
senator expressed a fear that the
Dingley tariff bill was being endan-
gered by the unexpected pressure from
all sides, and particularly from the
west, to secure higher duties on par
ticular articles. and in favor of par
ticular interests and sections, Senator
Warren Of Wyoming today said:
Il do not consider in entirely fair,
and cannot judiciously impute at this
time to western senators a disposition
to be extreme in Their tariff views. or
irsinuate that the tariff bill viii fail on
account of radical demands from the
west Speculation would be premature
and would tend to demoralize rather
than intimidate as perhaps intended.
The tariff bill will fail, as it ought
to fail, if it is sectional and partial,
and does not equally recognize agri-
cultural, mining and lumber interests
as we'll as others.
If it be decided that one section of
the country must take buzZard while
another demands turkey, in order to
reform the tariff, then reformation had
better be delayed regrettable as such
result would be, and-to none more re-
grettable than to western senators.

MANTLE, OF MONTANA.
He Proposes Some Changes in the
Wool Schedule of the Dingley Bill

Washington, April S.-Senator Man
tie of Montana today introduced an
amendment to the wool schedule of the
Dingley tariff bill, which provides for
advancing the rates on several varie-
ties Of raw Woolens. 1t proposes to
make the duty on washed woods of
both the first and second classes in
stead of the first class only, double that
on unWashed; to double the duty on all
classes imported in any other than
ordinary condition or which has been
sorted or increased in value by the re-
lection Of any part of the original
the paragraph in the bill which applies
to woods of the first and second classes.
1t also adds cutting off, as one of the
methods of increasing woods in value
covered by the paragraph and strikes
out the clause excepting skirted woods
imported in 1890 or prior thereto. 1t
proposes to amend the paragraph fixing
a duty of 80 per cent ad valorem on
woods of the third class, and camePs
hair, valued at IS cents or less per
pound, by changing 13 to 10 cents and
adding:
Provided that in no case shall the
duty be less than cents per pound"
Corresponding changes are proposed
in the next paragraph, making the duty
so per cent on the third class valued
at more than Is cents, by making it
apply to woods valued at more than 10
cents, and providing that the duty shall
not be less than cents per pound
