Highwaymen in Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone Lake, Wyo., Aug. 49,
Two masked highwaymen held up and
robbed a number of Yellowstone Ma
tional Park transportation coaches in
the park Saturday morning, relieving
the tourists of about $500. The fugi-
tives have not been apprehended. The
coaches were robbed while en- route
from Canyon hotel to Norris Geyser
basin and had covered about three miles
Of their journey At the point where
the hold-up took place was the crest of
a. high hill where the freight road
branches off from the government road
at sudden turn. Each coach was
halted and robbed as it drove up. Col.
Young has an excellent description of
the men and it will be almost impossible
for the highwaymen to leave the park,
as soldiers are guarding every possible
outlet. None of the passengers in the
coaches were hurt. g.

Minnesota. Supt Q. G. Gregg says:
MANY men have considered that it
was impossible to grow clover success
fully in Lyon county. We. have found
that it can be grown with great success
IL given proper caresand cultivation.
The Asike Is the clover for low lands
It will thrive on ground thatis good

heavier grower and bids. fair to surpass
the red clover In Minnesota. Red
clover is biennial. It drops seed the
second year Of its growth. # left on
the ground and not carried away, it
win reseed itself. We have land there
that has reseeded itself for 10 years.
For sowing on uplands I advise farm
ers to use the Mammoth and red clover.

" County AttornsH Peterson of Henne-

that Louis f. Menage, he of malodor-
GUS memory, can return to his native
heath without endangering his liberty.
To convict Menage of crookedness it
would be necessary to introduce the,
same evidence that was utilized in the
former Guaranty Loan cases. This
would be impracticable,a as much of the
strength Of the previous cases lay in
certain notes and papers, which have.
become scattered since then, many of
them having been returned to their
owners.

A Growing Population.

The warden's report to the board OF
prison managers, made at regular
meeting, shows prison population OF
538, larger number than has been in
the institution for years. OF these 1e
are women, which breaks the record
for number of female convicts. Two
of the 10 will soon become mothers
and will probably be paroled before
that time and sent back to Minneapo-
lis, where they live. Their husbands
are in prison also and will be released
with them, all the terms being short
ones. The board of managers has de-
cided to purchase additional binder
Irvine machinery, increasing the daily
output 500 pounds and bringing it up
to a total of $4,000 pounds. Irvine from
the prison has been in demand this
year and the entire supply, $500, 600
pounds. was sold, bringing $500, 900.

mers who boycotted him in 1880 and 1881
At the famous Dublin Horse Show, held in
Ballsbridge annually, his venerable figure
is familiar one, and never fails to at
tract vigorous applause. He always has
two or three exhibits, for he is nStable
breeder of horses and fat cattle. Another
cause for Capt. Boycotts recent popular
ity is his embracing the new anti-taXation
cause in lre.and-a cause into which such
former unionists as Lord Castletown and
Lord Maurice Fitzgerald have heartily
entered. Indeed, there is serious talk of
sending Capt. Boycott as M. p. for the
intensely national district of Mavo, in
which he lives. This would indeed be a
change of opinion-but Ireland has ever
been country of such surprises. Ger
tianly the venerable agent would make a
vigorous legislator.
The first newspaper TO use the verb Ito
boycott was United Ireland. a fiery or
gan of the radical wing of the Parnellite
party. The stamp of journalistic approx
al was set on the word by the London
Times in December. 1885, and the Ameri-
can papers seized on 1t with avidity. A
few years later all the principal English
dictionaries, and several foreign ones
admitted it to their columns. A leading
American authority says under this head
Boycott (bofkoD V. l. (From the name
of the first prominent victim of the sys-
tenn, Capt. Boycott, an Irish landlord. To
combine (a) in refusing to work for, buy

or of disagreements in business matters
as a means of infiictng punishment, or
of coercing or Illuminating. The word

became (like the practice common
throughout the English-speaking world,
and was adopted by the newspapers in
nearly every European language"
The same dictionary also gives boy
colt" H., "boycottee, A., "boycotter," H..
'boycotting" n. Altogether the gray
bearded county Mayo captain has given
TO the English language five words, all de-
rived from his name.
