FATAL BATTLE IN IDAHO.
Settlers and Shepherds Fight, Several Men
Being Killed.

Pocatello, Ida, Oct. 1S.-News just re-
ceived from Long Valley, in Washington
county, says that there has been bat
tie between settlers and the shepherds.
in which three men were killed and one
dangerously wounded. Details are mea-
ger but it seems that fifteen of the set
tiers warned the sheepmen to leave the
valley ard when they refused, made an
attack upon the sheep camp. Thirty
shots were fired by the settlers and a
man named Barber was. wounded. The
sheepmen then returned the fire, killing
three of the settlers. The rest of the
attacking party fled. 1t is thought that
Barber was killed.
The trouble is the outgrowth of the
strained relations that have existed in
that section between the settlers and
sheepmen for some time. 1t is not an
uncommon thing for stock to be manned
and haystacks to be burned and even
for settlers and sheepmen to exchange
shots, but no one has heretofore been
killed. Officers have left Weiser for the
scene Of the trouble.

SAVE STEPS AND TIME.

loading of Brick Scows.

Economy In Action That Tells In the I'm
loading of Brick Scows.
A curious illustration of the saving that
may be affected by economizing steps is
found in the manner of unloading brick
scows. The great scows that come down
the North river from Haverstraw with
bricks will carry $50, 900 bricks, and some
of them more. Such scows will carry a
load of 600 tons. Sometimes there are as
many as dozen brick scows in a single
tow.
The big scows carry each a crew of four
or five men, usually five. One man could
handle the boat, but the crew Is hired for
the season to handle the bricks. A dozen
men work at loading the scow, wheeling
the bricks aboard in wheelbarrows. The
five men in the crew can stack the bricks
up as fast as the l2 men with wheelbar-
rows can bring them aboard. The bricks
are stacked in such a manner that the
scow can be heeled considerably without
losing any overheard.
Sometimes, if they are to be taken some
little distance back from the edge of the
wharf, the bricks are carried off in bar
rows, but usually they are carried off by
hand. And here, with the men going
back and forth many times day, is a
place where every step counts, for, of
course, the shorter the distance the men
have to carry the bricks the less time it
will take to unload them, SO the custom
airy manner of unloading scow is this
The men take off the bricks back to the
center line of the boat. AS they continue
taking bricks from one side only, the side
nearest the wharf, the boat rises in the
water on that side, while the other sinks
correspondingly, but the bricks are SO
slowed that they don't slide off. When
the men have taken back to the center
line they stop and simply turn the boat
around and bring the loaded side to the
| wharf. 1t may take some little time to dc
| this, depending on the situation of things,
| and during this time, of course, no bricks
| can be carried, but they could move the
scow considerable distance and yet save
time in the unloading by turning hei
around, and so much time is saved by thus
bringing the remaining bricks nearer the
wharf Unloading in this manner, five
| men can do the work as quickly as sever
men could working straight across.-New

THEY LIKE OUR TYPE.

South American Printers Have, However,
Discovered In 1t Some Defects.
Vice Consul Berg writes to the state
department from Rio Grande do Sui,
Brazil
A printer in my district who uses
type from various countries expressed
to me his opinion as to the superior
quality of the American kind He had
lately given an order for American
type, asking also for the accented letters
used in the Portuguese language, which
apparently could not be supplied, and
the order had to remain unexecuted.
Type founders in other countries are
prepared to supply complete alphabets
for almost any language The Amer.
lean type also has defect in the eyes
of printers here, as it does not CORE
spond exactly in pointage with that Of
other countries, which have type all
alike in this respect. That of American
manufacture shows an increase of about
half point in length and trifling in
crease in the height of each letter.
This objection to the American arti-
Gle has no doubt not only been raised
here, but in other places as well. / feel
confident, could those difficulties be
overcome, that American type would
be more largely employed for stationery
printing. Under present conditions
printers are unable to use the same IN
combination with that of other coun
t,.ios

A Cock Quail's Devotion.

Mr.. ]. +. Battaile of Vicksburg,
Miss, writes as follows: Having OBJ
served natural history sketch to the
effect that the cock partridge does not
assist his mate in incubating the eggs,
wish to offer some evidence to the con-
trary and to suggest that the case be re-
opened.
"In the early eighties, while laboring
under the hallucination that fair bust
ness man ought to make good farmer,
/ was cutting sprouts in a new ground
in south Mississippi, where was farm
ing or imagining that l was farming.
1t was in the nesting season of the quail,
and they were quite plentiful. Having
a very sharp ak, was slashing about
me promiscuously and had delivered a
blow at a cluster of sprouts when out
of the midst fluttered cock quail with
his neck nearly cut in two.
II picked the bird up and soon saw
that my AK had nearly beheaded him.
Upon inspecting the bushes ! found a
nest with dozen eggs in it. These were
still warm, and they were in the exact
spot whence the cock had tumbled,
bleeding and dying. Moreover. 1 was in
a position to know that no other bird
had been in the bush when approached
it.
"In view of the devotion of these
birds to their young, am strongly OF
the opinion that he deliberately remain
ed ON the nest in spite of my proximity,
hoping to cover the eggs from observa-
ton as we'll as to escape it himself. Any
true sportsman will appreciate the sor-
row with which contemplated the
plucky little fellow, who had died to
protect his unborn young. Baltimore

His Opportunity.

A story which is not new is well told
by George Cary Eggleston.
A large company had been invited to
banquet at the mansion of Signor
Faliero. in France and just before the
hour the confectioner. who had been
making large ornament for the table,
sent word that he had spoiled the piece.
''If you will let me try, think can
make something that will do" said a
boy who had been employed as soul
lion.
"Youp' exclaimed the head servant
in establishment "And who are your"
81 am Antonio Canova, the grandson
of Pisano, the stonecutter," replied the
pale faced little fellow.
"And, pray, what can you do?" ask
ed the major domo.
81 can make you something that will
do for the middle of the table, if you'll
let me try" The servant was at his
wits end, so he told Antonio to go
ahead and see what he could do. Call
ing for some butter, the scullion quick
ly nodded large, crouching lion.
Dinner was announced, and many of
the most noted merchants, princes and
noblemen of Venice were ushered into
the dining room. Among them were
skilled critics of art work. When their
eyes fell upon the butter lion, they rec
ognized it as a work of genius. They
examined it long and carefully and ask
ed Signor Faliero what great sculptor
had been persuaded to waste his skill
upon work in such temporary mate
rial.
/ When the distinguished guests learn
! ed that the lion had been made in a
short time by scullion, the dinner was
turned into feast in his honor. The
rich host declared that he would pay the
J boys expenses under the best masters,
and he kept his word, but Antonio was
not spoiled by his good fortune. He re-
manned at heart the same simple, ear
nest, faithful boy who had tried so hard
J to become good stonecutter III the shop
of Pisano.
Some may not have heard how the
boy Antonio took advantage of this first
great opportunity, but all know of Ca
nova, one of the greatest sculptors OF all
time

Stalking a Deer on the Ice.

We had gone up in the great bay near
the head of the lake, when some boys
and dogs, rummaging around i'll the
woods along the shore, started a deer
and chased it ON to the ice, and we had
the most exciting chase Immediately
after that 1 ever took part in. We did
not harm the animal, and had we wished
to do so we couldn't, for there wasn't q
gun in the crowd, but we made him
"make the effort of his life'' before he
broke through the trocha we built
around him and got away. When we
sighted him, he was making straight
across the bay, which is five miles wide,
and the ice was so slippery that he could
not make anything like the usual time
of his kind when they throw their souls
into their heels and scatter miles behind
them with an easy indifference most
beautiful to witness.
We played wolf on him. Doc Spald-
ing, who was riding the ice bicycle,
shot straight ahead and very soon pass
cd him and forced him to turn, and
when he did turn there was ring of
skaters all around him, and for an hour
he played with US very much as four
legged seal might.
We got him running in circle, but
we were unable to catch him, for every
time any one tried it that venturesome
individual either failed to get hold on
him, or, succeeding, was hurled as from
a catapult along the ice, to the great
delight of all the rest. 1t was the mer-
riest skating party ever witnessed, al
though the deer might not have seen
much matter for merriment in it.
But he was perfectly safe, unless his
wind played out before ours did, OF
which the event proved there was small
danger. One wing of the circular trocha
we had formed i'll the line got out OF
breath and slowed up, a gap was formed
in the line, and the deer went through
it like flash, and the last we saw OF
him he was "hull down. and going as
merrily as if freshly started. Mime

THE BLUEBlRD.

A CLINT Of blue fits meath the shy
Amid the merry Maytime,
A living gem, light winged and shy,
Enjoying its brief playtime.
Now perched upon an alder spray
That bends beneath its lightness,
1t gives unto the dewy day
A soft and sudden brightness,
And from its little throbbing throat
Comes 'Twitter, twitter, twitteri"
A ~weet, a swift, slender note,
But never one that's bitter.
A CHEEKY voice that tells of spring.
At rosy dawn and after
The busy bluebird caroling
A song of love and laughter.
