CONTESTING EVERY INCH.
BY CHARLES ELLIS.

| had engaged with the American
Fur Company for the spring hunt,
they paying me five hundred dol
lars.
We struck out for the Blackfeet
country, as we numbered nearly two
hundred mountain men, and felt able
to handle the entire tribe should they
offer to molest US.
We kept on until we came to Sheep
horn Mountain, but finding it i'm
paSsable on account of the deep
snow drifts, we changed our course,
striking over to the Pont Neuf, trap
ping down it to its junction with the
Snake River.
AT this point our trouble with the
redskins began.
We met strong party of Black
feet; but evidently they didn't like
our looks, for they made the signal
of peace, and after a short palver
''the big bucks" were allowed to en-
ter our camp.
As you may guess, we kept close
guard over our animals, on the alert
for an attempt at stampede.
Yet, despite our viligance, some
half dozen young Indians, who had
| never struck human foe, and who
because they have a name to win
are even more to be dreaded thar
tne old, experienced warriors, man
aged to creep hiough our lines, anc
each mounting horse, attempted tc
stampede the rest by dashing through
their middle, yelling like fiends anc
waving their blankets and robes.
But our forethought in side-h
bling the animals saved them.
l don't believe, now, that the lead
ing Blackfeet had anything to de-
with this attempt to iismount US, O
the stampede would nave been bette
supported; but we did think so then
and as somebody yelled out to shoe
the Indians, the chief and his NOR,
prominent braves, who had remained
in our camp, fell dead, riddled witt
bullets, and to this fact We probab
owed what followed.
| 1t was crime, We paid dearl
enough for it, will assure you.
| The Blackfeet retreated, and W
retraced our steps up the Pont Neu
crossing Sheep Mountain withou
much difficulty, the snow drifts hav
| ing melted.
/ We trapped along Bear Rive
stopping for a time on the Sage, an
some other good sized streams, O.
our way to Weaver Lake, where W
! were to rendezvous with another pal
ty, led by one Lublette.

There are heavy steps on the stairs

the patient rails and curses over a

furtively watching with catlike side

keep intent on their game. and the old
bank president loses not thread in
the plant ever fresh, ever absorbing,
OF now deceived and undone by those
now IN luxury and honor.
The doctor packs up his instru-

song -and-dance man, with broken

OF his personal peculiaritles. The pa

''How's Jimmy to-day.' asks the
warden, indicating with his thumb

Charged with Enticing a Taylor Boy
Away from Home.


Harry S. Martin, of Muncy, Pa;
James Curtis, of Pittsburg. and James
Clark of Silver Lake, N. Y, members
of the tramp brigade, were registered
at Hotel Lotus, Water street, this
morning. They were gathered in at
the junction last evening by Chief
Lotus and Officers Tighe and Bliss.
With them, when they were taken, was
a young boy named Hendershot, of Tay-
lor, about thirteen years of age. The
boy was also taken in charge and a
message sent to his parents. The
tramps were arrested on two charges
-vagrancy and enticing the young lad
to run away with them.
The boy told the officers he had been
accosted by the hobos in Scranton, to
which city he had gone to witness the
parade. According to the story told by
the lad the fellows promised him all
he could eat and drink, clothes and all
the necessaries of life If he would ac-
company them. He agreed to the plan
and left with the tourists" for this
city. At the hearing this morning be-
fore Acting Mayor Jordan, the fellows
denied having persuaded Henderson,
to accompany them. They said they
had met him on the train and he asked
the privilege of joining them, at the
same time telling his partners that he
had been knocking about the country
for the past three months"

had arrived in town bright and early
in response to the message sent last
evening, notifying her of the detention
of her son here. She said she had not
been able to sleep all night on account

proceed against the tramps in court
| and accordingly they were taken to the
county Jail to await a further hearing.
| Chief Lotus escorted them to that
place.-Pittston Gazette.

myn against the city assessors and
board of revision and appeal. Mr..
Jermyn asked for an injunction re-
straining them from levying or collect
ing taxes under a new assessment
made early this year by direction Of
the board of revision.
To Mr.. Jermyn's bill in equity the
city filed a demurrer which was over
ruled by Judge Archibald in an opinion
handed down on May s. The formal
decree filed yesterday is as follows:
And now August 10, 1897, this case COM
ing on to be heard upon demurrer to the
PLAINTIFFS bill Of complaint, upon due con-
sideraton thereof it is adjudged that the
said demurrer be overrule1 and the bill
sustained and that judgment be given
thereon in favor of the plaintiff and the
court do thereupon further order, ad-
judge and decree that the amendment

of assembly of May %, 1889, said amend
ment having been approved the 23d of
May, 1885, so far as 1t attempts to author
lie the board of revision of taxes in cities
of the third class 'in any year other

new assessment necessary" to issue
their precept to the city assessors requir-
ing them to make out and return a full
just aud equal assessment of property

visable, Is unconstitutional and void: and
the assessment of the plaintiffs real prop
erty in the Eighth ward of the city OF
Scranton for the year 1897 complained OF
in the bill having been made by virtue Of
the said amendment is likewise unconsti-
tutional, so far as it attempts 20 change
the valuations of such property for those

made in the year 1895, there having been
no change in the condition Of the i'm.
provements of the said property since
that time and thereupon an injunction is

TWO MEN INJURED.
Serious Result of an Explosion in the
Dickson Mine.

Michael Hughes and John McCloskey
We're injured in the Dickson mine yes
terday morning by the exploding of a
shot which Hughes had prepared. They
had gone to a place of safety and not
hearing the shot go off, Hughes went
to the face of the chamber to ascertain
the cause.
He had reached within about ten feet
of the hole when the charge exploded
with terrific force, striking him in the
breast, and knocking him down, and
injuring hm badly.
McCloskey was about twenty-five
yards from the face but was hit in the
leg with large chunk of coal, badly
lacerating that member.
Hughes is a married man and lives
with his family in Pine Brook. Nc
Closkey was removed to his home on

BEFORE BREAKFAST. ;
WHO HATH WHEELS.

Nt1O HATH w HEELS.
Said the lordly city father
We shall make the bikers feel
That this town by lis is rather

Now so slow must be their speeding
That they'll break their necks instead

Run us down in summers fled.
The speech of Mrs. Lake constitutes
some of the best temperance literature
ever published.
If you want a good hair restorer,
warranted to start a fine growth on a
smooth head, try shoe blacking. 1t
does sound rather unpleasant, doesn't
1t? but there are those who would go
to considerable trouble to acquire a
new crop of hair, and some of them
have tested this recipe. 1t was tried
on dog at first. He was wofully bald
as to his back, from the effects of a
hot water shower bath, and whether
with the idea of improving his COM
plexion, which was of a sickly hue on
the bare spots, or whether the applica-
tion of the backing was made by acci-
dent, is not explained. However, the
animal sOoH DeSdH 10 improve IN looks,
as new assortment of hair of the
correct hue came in to stay. He is
the property Of a prominent politician
Of this city and naturally had an am.
bition TO not detract from his mas
ter's prospects.
Since that time several Scranton men
who prefer hair to a marked intellect
ual appearance, or who are beginning
to take notice" with a view to con-
tracing another marriage, have used
the shoe backing restorative with the
most satisfactory effect.
Now that policeman has a steady
and perilous job at the corner of Wash.

preventing people from being trampled

horses, smart" drivers and women
who stand in front of flying cars OF
teams and jump up and down in ap.
palled confusion, together with a few
other lunatics, have transferred the
basis of their operations to the Linden
street corner of the same avenue.
