volver Mrs. Lynch Wormley attempted
to murder her husband Wednesday
morning in the offices of the south town

and concealed herself in a dark corner
of the hallway leading into the asses
sors office to await the arrival of her
husband. Wormley entered the build
ing at $50 o'clock. Just as he was
inserting his key in the door Mrs. Worm
ley stole from her hiding place and
without a word placed the revolver
against her husbands head.
Wormley quickly grasped his wife by
the wrist. and after a brief struggle
succeeded in disarming her. During the
struggle she scratched his face badly
and tore his clothing. He then turned
his wife over to officers from the Central
detail police station. At the station
Mrs. Wormley' made charges of aban-
donment and cruelty against her hus-
band. She demanded that her husband
be arrested on that charge while Worm
ley asked to have his wife held for at

since the induction of the present ad-

sNATcHINe MosBYs PISTOLS.
A Young Soldiers Feat of Cool
Daring.

Said Gen. Fitz Simmons: "Sergt.
Wetherby, graduate of Cornell cot
lege and member of company C, Twen-
ty-First New York cavalry, performed
feat which for pluck and cool calcu-
latiou was truly admirable.
"While on scouting party with his
company in Loudon county, Va, in Feb
ruary of 1861, the sergeant and COM
papion visited farmhouse not far from
tie company's bivouac, for the purpose
of getting supper. While they were
waiting Col. Mosby and his adjutant
entered. Wetherbee's companion es-
capped through the kitchen; but Weth-
erbee himself suffered for his accom-
plishments. He was in the parlor play
ing the piano. He had divested himself
of his revolver and consequently was
easily made prisoner. He was COM
PEELED to ride the greater part of the
night with the Mosby party, until, ford
ing the Potomac river at Ashby's gap.
the guerilla column dismounted at
house in the little village of Paris. He
presently called his adjutant to join
him. This left Mosby's orderlies with
the horses of their officers and the pris-
oner, Wetherbee, in their charge.
Glistening in the moonlight the SER
gcant saw, peeping from the splendid
English holsters of Mosby's mount,
pair of silver-mounted revolvers. Max
ing an excuse to dismount he snatched
q revolver from the holster nearest him
and with two well-directed shots dis
abled both of the orderlies. Then
juInping into the saddle of Mosby's
gray mare, he was we'll out of pistol
range before Mosby and his adjutant
opened the door.
EARLY in the morning saw him ride
into his regiments camp at Halltown,
Va, on Mosby's celebrated white marc
Nora, with pair of ivory-handled, sill
Ner-mounted pistols, magnificent Eng
lish saddle and housings, a cavalry cloak
of the finest broadcloth and a cavalry
saber. all of the most up-to-date Eng
lish pattern. Very good collateral evi-
dcnce, If any were needed, but Sergt.

hood. To right and left OF this long
cleft in the rocks valleys extend, and
in these there are picturesque mills and
little chalets.
The Prebischthor, again, is tremen-
dous rock formation-some 1900 feet
high and standing in the very midst
of magnificent wilderness of tall trees
and powders. The valley from which
it rises skyward looks as if giants had
played marbles with immense powders
and had left the game unfinished; every
thing is topsy-turyy. But out of it
two enormous pillars of gray, withered
sandstone stick up straight into the
air-1,2O0 feet high, and on the top
these two pillars have another huge
slab of rock lying right across them,
thus forming natural gate. On the
slab of rock stand big terrace, a res
taurant and numerous other signs OF
human civilization, including iron rail
ings, from which the different phases Of
the outlook can be enjoyed in safety,
| and galleries have been hewn into the
rock itself, facilitating the ascent and
making it even possible for donkeys
and horses to climb up to the height.
Persons who have ever seen the Yo-
semitic valley, in California, will be
struck with numerous points of resem-
blance between that lovely region and
this. This is especially the case as to
the peculiar shapes of the rocks and
promontories. Here in Saxon and Bo-
hemiau Switzerland, too, all sorts of ex-
traordinary forms are noticed-faces of
human outline, for instance, are quite
frequently met with, with noses and
mouths hundreds of feet IN extent, and
tall pine or oak for eyebrows. But
while these and similar points are CO
striking resemblance to the Cali
fornian landscape mentioned this one
of little Saxon Switzerland is much
more idyllic, picturesque and peaceful,
and the vegetation, too, is more eenti-
fai and varied. Lovely flowers, not met
with elsewhere, are found in the numer-
GUS side valleys, and bird life is plen-
tiful and very variegated.
Take it altogether, what with the pure
air and water, the stimulating effects
of open-alr life, the beauties of nature,
and the wholesome and well-prepared
food had everywhere; perhaps, too, the
charming character of the native popu-
lation in this whole region, the Amer
lean tourist who has tired of the grand
er scenes of the Alps and the crowds
of sightseers in the large cities of Eu-
rope cannot do better than take a trip
TO this lovely country. His health and
temper, beyond doubt, will be improved
thereby; his pocket will not much suf-
fer, and he will take away with him
remembrance as of something alto-
Vether unique.

SAXON SWITZERLAND.
Ono of the Most Picturesque Dis
tricts in the World.
Visitors from America Pronounce II
- VerItnble Paradise, Superior in
Some Respects to the
Yosemite Valley.
Especial Berlin Letter |

Among the picturesque districts un-
til recently neglected by the American
tourists in Europe is that region known
generally as Saxon Switzerland. This
neglect, however, is now being made up
for, as the number of Americans visit
ing that lovely region is steadily on the
increase. l noticed, among the passen-
gers on river boat going up the Elbe,
several charming American bridal par
ties, and on the summit of one Of the
finest peaks l stumbled into group Of
Americans who hailed from every part
of the United States, but who were
here, focused together, as 1t were, in
this tiny paradise.
For Saxon Switzerland is a veritable
paradise. 1t has not the grand air of
the real Switzerland, and it lacks gla-
ciers and cloud-piercing monsters Of
mountains. But of its kind it is more
attractive. There is a mixture of idyllic
peace and peculiar picturesqueness in
the landscape that is extremely charm
ing. The people there are not yet so
greedy after the dollars of the tourists; /;
in fact, they are for the most part quite
naive and hospitable, and their brook
trout and fresh fruit and the product
of their mountain industries are as yet

the Bastei rock, for instance, near the
700 feet over the river) one sees, when
the weather is clear, the pillars and
spires of Dresden(25 miles distanO on
the one side, and the mountain tops of
Bohemia (about the same distance or
farther on the other). Below, scores of
little villages, hills and dales, wooded
slopes and rocky formations, with the
river separating the whole picture,
spread out, checker-board fashion. The
whole district, so far as it is worth Sec
ing and visiting, measures but few
hundred square miles, IL is true, but
within that small territory the tourist,
to his amnzement, notices more variety
in landscape, in type of population, etc.,
than he would elsewhere in territory 20
times that size.
Beyond the Saxon borders, on Bohe-
man soil, there are two of the lovelest
sights of all, viz: Prebischthor, and
the Edmunds Klamm. The lateer is a
chasm opening into the steep and per-
pendicular rock for the length of ten
miles or so, the bottom being formed by
a pellucid mountain river. Row boats
ascend this river to the very heart OF
this slit into the rocks, and the scenery
changes frequently during the trip.
Now one passes rocks down which the
mountain brooklets trickle with me-
lodious splash, and then again both
banks are lined with pine trees, verdure,
bushes from which hundreds of sing
ing birds pour their songs, for though
men are in close proximity they cannot
harm these birds, and the birds know it
anu are jolly in proportion. There are
several rapids, but it is easy to avoid
them-at least it is so for the ex-
perienced boatmen of the neighbor-

the whole town saw it off on the ex-
press train, bound for Arcadia, Tex.
A week passed, and then we got an
other telegram from Lonigan. 1t read:
1--WE got him, and will arrive on the
$3.50 train tonight"
| A great cheer rent the air, and Judge
| Breeden was at once elected chairman
of the vigilance committee. Tom Gable,
the undertaken, had already made the
coffin, and so all we had to do was to
wait for Lonigan. While waiting we
held a meeting and decided that as IL
was winter time and not much going
on we would postpone the trial of the
murderer and his execution until some
later day, as the arrival of Lonigan and
the story he would certainly have to
tell about the capture would undoubt-
edly furnish enough excitement and in
terest for a day or so, and we couldn't
afford to waste all our material for
amusement too early in the season.
The whole male population of Boul-
der was at the station when the 6:30
o'clock train came putting in, and there
was the widest sort of excitement
when Lonigan came out of the smoking
car with Snip WhillDins, with the hand
cuffs on him and looking very crest
fallen and sheepish.
The cannon and the part it had un
doubtedly played in the capture in

all cried out: where's the cannon?"

Doc Sloan.

The chief took his man off, locked
him up, and in ten minutes was at the

so got to work. L hunted everywhere

straight from the banks of the Elbe to
an altitude of 1000 feet and over, and
the SUBMITS of the mountains 1000 to

lovely Elbe river winds its way. The
rock formations, with their odd shapes,
owe their origin to remote volcanic
past, and being all of sandstone, the
rock is piled on, so to speak, layer on

forth in the most unexpected places,

trees, often, too, bare and showing the
