THE LATEST SOCIAL FAD.

The latest diversion in the socie-
ty OF the backwoods Of this county
10 said to be "Rat PARTIES" accord

this kind out at Billy Hartsoll's.
The latter lives cut on Huckleberry

according to our information, theg
bad lively time at their "Rat

as follows:
TRey catch n rat i'm a trap and
then invite in tho young folks OF

Of some room, leaving nothing
whatever for the rat to hide under
and ne place for it to escape. Then
the girls are ell invited into the
room, presumably for dance. The
boys are there also Of course, and
while some one locks and bars the
door the rat is let out in the mid at
OF the crowd and the fan begins.
The girls can scream and Jump and
kick, but they cannot escape. No
one 10 allowed to kill the rat and
they simply run it down, unless the
shrieks Of the afrighted females
scare the rat to death before that.
For a diversion the new play ia

THE MYSTERY OF RATA TANNER.

THE MYSTERY OF RATA TANNER.
While over on Salt Lick last
Saturday we met Miss Rata Tanner
at the homo OF her brot her, Jim
Tanner, who runs saw mill about
a mile and half from Rodamers.
This is the place where Charley
Wolfe shot Charley Wilhelm ten
days ago, and Miss Tanner is the
young lady who was SO mysteriously
shot some time since by an uu-
known assassin. Both the young
woman and young man who were
shot are now staying at the sume
place, and we talked with them
both h the same room. MISS Tam
ner is not entirely we'll yet, bat Is
able to 90 about. She looks pale
and weak and shows the saffering
she has undergone, which seems to
have been as much mentally as
physically. This is not strange.
however, when you remember that
the party who committed the deed
is still unknown and tho young
woman living in constant dread Of
another attempt OH her life, which
might be fatal next time. Her peo.
pie are making every effort to dis
cover the perpetrator of the das-
tardly deed, in order to have him
punished and also relieve her of the
strain produced by constant dread
OF another attack. There are sew
etal detectives working on the case,
and it is likely that the attempt at
murder Will out some time.
The most plausible theory OF the
deed now is that the motive was
robbery, as there was no one at the
house at the time except Miss Rata
and an old uncle, who was reported
to have considerable money, which
he kept with him, although Tan
ners deny his having the money,
but they think the party who was
watching the house thought to
shoot the girl and then find the old
man aa easy prey. They would
not want to shoot him till they
would make him tell where his
meney was, if they could not find
it without. But the girl being able
to walk to the house and another
party being in the road in froat of
the house, talking to the old gem
tleman. frightened the fellow away,
as he probably did not know wheth.
or he had hit her er not, and
thought best to escape.
Some have advanced the theory
that Miss Tanner knew who shot
her, and why it was done and
would not tell. We put this ques-
ton squarely ut her and watched
her very closely. to detect any con-
fusion, bat she bore the ordeal very
we'll, and declared that if she did
know she would certainly tell, in
order to have the party secured and
be relieved Of the anxietyaud fear
of the anxiety and fear Of another
attempt on her life, and this looks
very reasonable. She showed us
pIcturea Of the scenes OF the shoot
ing, taken by Il. special artist who
came there for that purpose in the
interest Of the city newspapers.
She also related that she had re-
ceiVed many papers containing &C
counts Of 1t, and good many let
ters also in regard to it. Some Of
the published accounts contained
what purported to be her picture,
but she protested that none Of ttfem
resembled her at all. Miss Rata
has black hair and black eyes, and
IS a very intelligent looking girl.
The story has been Published far
and near and given her considera-
BILE notoriety. The mystery of TIE
whole affair makes it more inter
esting, and 1t may never be cleared
up.
