with about all the members of the assoc
citation, q fluent talker with ready wit at
all times. When addressing the fire
laddies he IL in his element, and his
hearers are always ready for applause
and laughter.
T. E. Smith of Chicago, editor of the
Western Fireman, was next on the pro-
gram and his toast on The Press" was
q neat little speech. In his remarks he
paid q glowing tribute to the newspapers
of q state and especially those Of Co
lumbus.
D. c. link of Grand Island, whose
subject was 1.-THE Duties of q Volun-
teer Firemen," handled the boys with
out gloves in not only telling them what
he considered their duties 1t q fire, but
also when they were attending. He did

marks he spoke very highly of both
Norfolk and Columbus fire boys. In
telling Of a fire he attended years ago in
the city of Fremont when he was noz-
zleman; in going to the fire he lost his
glasses. Being very near-sighted and

state to pay the expenses OF delegates to
all state conventions.
J. c. Elliott was next, his subject
being Fire Alarms." He handled the

A Terrible Accident

The BOdie Miner-IndeX brings the
Dews Of a frightful accident which re-
suited fatally t. Evelyn, the 3-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. A, K. Myers, one
Of the electrical engineers emrlOyed
by the Standard Con. Mining Con-
pany. Mr.. Myers employed an In
dian to cut a drain ditch to carry off
the water caused from the melting
onOw. AS Mr.. Myers was directing
the Indian in the work. his little
daughter, Evelyn, was standing near
by inside the porch railing looking
on, and it seems unperceived by he1
father. and before he could possibly
have intercepted her, she leaned over
the railing just as the Indian was
striking a downward blow with the
pick, receiving the full force of it, a
little above the crown Of the head.
The child retained consciousness for
two hours, notwithstanding the
frightful nature Of the wound and the
great loss of blood, but died ar hour
later.

HIT WITH TtiE SACK.
Billy Woodburn's Experience
With the indians

When the Piute Irdians wanted a
lawyer to help prosecute Logan, the
slayer of the Mason Valley Indian,
they held a council and had a big
talk, They selected Hon. William
Woodburn aud the following argu-
mems were advanced why he was the
man to engage:
"Make'em big noise in court
Heap rough talk
No scare from Jud e."
PLENTY fight talk
"Catch EN- heap law"
Pound EN- table with both fists"
Jump all over Logan"
Scare EN- jury
1t being impossible to I"fute these
substantial Endorsements Of Wood
burns ability he was engaged to as
sist in the prosecution Of Logan.
When the price, a huudred and fifty
dollars, was named the interpreter
yearly tainted. His idea was that ten
dollars an hour to lam haste the de
tendant was heap money" But the
attorney was obdurate and the finan-
ciers Of he tribe went around to rustic
up the money. They took a flour
sack and started on the rounds. They
made everybody puDgle by threats Of
social ostrocism. a big licsing and
being branded as "quitters."
The savages dug up from all sorts
Of odd places. the squaws went down
into old stockings and the buck
delved in their greasy bags that had
done service in many a hard fought
poker game, but still they dug, until
the $3.50 "a raised. They met the
assessment but it about broke the
tribe.
Now when Woodburn passes a quar-
ter or a half V the bar it has pine
gum sticking to it and exhales a pun

the smokey scents of the wickiup.

CONFIDENCE OPERATORS.
They Try to Get in Their Work in
This CITY.

Recently the San Francisco papers
have exposed the plan ny which some
clever Confidence men in Spain have
tried to work money on Of Americans.
A case has turned up in this city Of
that description. About three years
ago Bob Hotter received a letter from
some Spanish nobltmen to the effect
one Of his distant relatives ia Spain
was anxious t. communicate with him
on business OF importance. Mr.. HOter
answered the letter and found that
some young lady vas anxious to hear
from him and come OF to Carson.
He replied that he knew of no rpla-
tives in Spaio, distant or otherwise.
and then cane the sod news # the
lady's death and the Information that
she had left him $50, 900 in her will.
Some legal matters, however, had to
be adjusted and it would require a
few hundred dollars to probate the
will. Then came a letter from a sup
posed priest who was with the lady in
her laet hours, and if his expenses
were paid he was willing to come 90
and bring the money.
Mr.. Hofer smelt a mice aud w1Ote to
the Spanish Council, who replied tb st
the whole thing was the work Of
sharpers who were constantly victim
izing people in America by such
schemes.
Mr.. Hofer has quite a number of
Spanish documents in the case writ
ten on official letter heads and also
photographs of the girl.

a pathetic story now Of a
wasted life, from Miss Phoebe
Couzins, spent in efforts to give suf-
trage to w0alen. In her youth a pop.
ular belle sought and admired, she
had many opportunities to marry
we'll but brushed them all aside de-
tertulned to devote her life to the
''cause Of women" Her verdict on
life work was a sad ope, confessing
failure and admitting that she worked
i'll the wrong direction.
After reciting the vicissitudes of her
long experience and rare emporium
tiles, she says:
The majority Of the women prefer a
quiet, domestic life, while man, by
nature, seeks the conflicts of the outer
world and tbrives and grows therein
Women in public life will never prove
satisfactory. She is naturally a
hOme-keeper. I would advise all
young women to marry and become
house keepers.
