-The store building owned by Hi
ram beats, Jr., in Pittstown, and oc-
cupied by Andrew Rittenhouse as n
general store, was destroyed by fire
early on Friday morning last. The
fire started in the cellar and had rapid
ly spread over the entire building be
fore any effort could be made to save
the building or its contents, and both
were completely destroyed. The fire
was evidently of incendiary origin
The loss on building is estimated at
1920, and on contents, $4,000 Partly
insured.

A reception was given last Thurs
day evening to Rev. Herbert Stanley
Smith and wife, who, on that evening,
returned from bridal tour extending
from October 25th. The reception was
held in St. Andrews Hall, adjoining
the church, and was attended by mem
bers of the parish and friends of the
rector, the rooms being filled by the
large assemblage despite the inclement
weather. The ladies of the parish had
trimmed the hall in beautiful manner,
and provided ice cream and cake for
the occasion. The music rendered at
the time of the wedding was repeated
in a highly creditable manner by the
Amwell Orchestra.

FROM The FlRsT WARD.

1t seems very strange that some
men insist upon voting when they
know they are not entitled to do so;
but such is the fact, which was plainly
shown at our recent election, and the
I parties most interested became very
angry when their vote was challenged.
The law is very strict in such cases,
and any one is liable to get himself in
heap of trouble by even offering to
vote illegally.
We still report progress, and the
starting of the rubber mill will surely
take place in a very short time, now
that everything is getting in readiness
MS fast MS possible.
\ good Joke was played upon Coun-
Gilman Billy, on the eve before, cleo
ton. Billy had his choice of candidates
exhibited in his window, and some
naughty fellow pasted the opposite
candidates over them. The joke WAS
not discovered until late in the day,
and when it was discovered, Billy was
very angry, and at one time thought of
offering reward to catch the guilty
parties
The Rubber Mill hands are anxious
TO get to work again, as the prolonged
stop has materially interfcred with
their finances. When they do go to
work, they hope to make good time, rs
their labor is their main source of sup.
port, and it isa clear case of mo duck
no dinner" with the majority of them.
The prospects nre very favorable and
everything points towards prosperity
and III the near future, with the mill
running full time again, everything

happy.

up, but although he consoled his honor
with the thought that the fight had
been fair and square, he feared the
Cherokee laws, and determined on
fight. But first he slipped around to
the parsonage and sounded a soft sig
nal whistle. His little sweetheart came
to the window, and in rapid whispers
he told her the story of the duel, which
she as rapidly forgave.
The eternal VOWS were plighted, and

This was nearly fifteen years ago
June "a, 1882. She was then 10 and he 20.
Years passed and brought Mabel no
word from her Indian lover. She was
sent away to school and returned a
matured, cultivated woman of beauty
and poise. OF Hume nothing had been
heard in the village since the night OF
his flight; but Mabel's heart remained
true and trusting.
Years and years later, when the fugi-
tive had Travelled the most of the nayi-
gable world with a heavy heart and
persistent conscience, and was in Mex
leo and about to return home and give
himself up, the war with Spain was de-
clared, and from ocean to ocean echoed
the call for volunteers in the American
army. Carol Hume was among those
who heard and FASTENED.

A month later he was at Muskogee,
an enlisted man; a week later he was
a lieutenant in Troop L.
While the soldiers were still at Mus
kogee, Hume walked down the street
one day to come face to face with the
woman he loved. She had changed
greatly and he was heavily bearded
and marked by travel, but recognition
was mutual and immediate. She was
not alone and feared to imperil him by
public recognition; SO with mute
greetings they went their separate
ways. The next morning his troop left

spring came in the mountains the war
in Spain gave other and graver business
than acting as a park patrol to the
United States cavalrymen who had
looked after the reservation in former
years, and the owners of sheep in the
San Joaquin Valley were not slow to
take advantage of the chance to steal
pasturage in the territory set aside
for the recreation of the people," 1t
was not until the end of June that the
Secretary of the Interior, who has ex-
elusive control of the park, had at his
disposal a small fund $4,000 that en-
abled him to employ force of forest
agents to police the premises. Then the
fun began-the fun of man hunting,
which of all forms of the chase is most
likely to afford robust entertainment.
The superintendency of the park was
intrusted by Mr.. Bliss to a special in
spector of the Land Office, j. w. Zevely,
who stationed himself at Wawona, near
the southern border of the reserve,
where the military guard has been in
the habit of camping. Two other spe-
cial inspectors, Messrs. Cullom and
Buick, were assigned as assistants to
the superintendent. and the body of the
force consisted of eleven men of the adj
jacent country, most of them having
plenty of the needful experience In
rough mountaineering.
By the time when this patrol, divid-
ed into two parties, started on it's cam
paign there was scarcely a square mile
of the park that had not been overrun
by sheep. The f1ocks were everywhere,
up on the highest bench meadows, close
under the everlasting SHOWS, down in
the hidden recesses of the deepest can
yons; creeping along the TANKS of the
most precipitous mountains. streaming
in long array through narrow and tor
tuous defiles; clambering over vast
bodies of naked rock lying between the
grass bearing areas. For a bakers
dozen of scouts to follow and discover
these herds, scattered through a. terri
tory approaching 1900 square miles In
extent and of an indescribably rugged
character, and to induce or compel the
herdsmen TO remove their f1ocks beyond
the limits Of the park. was a work in
volving good many of the character
istics of lively guerrilla warfare.

or twenty years before the nark was
established had tramped the region I'M
til they knew every twist and turn it
possessed, had been employed as steers

patrol taken the field than word was
passed from sheep camp to sheep camp,
system of outlooks was created. and
there began series of rapid shifts and

and to their determination to get the
last possible blade of forbidden grass

was nothing imaginative or picturesque
about their lying but it was amusing
in its way for sheer badness of mem
dacity. Most of them were Portuguese
or French aSqueS, but they all spoke
Spanish. Their first little lie was in

discovered that there was working

And their ignorance of the park! It
was the first time they had come inside
the limits. They had only been in for
few days. They knew only one way
out-which, singularly enough, was al
ways the longest way.
When these objections and excuses
for delay had been put aside there was
string of others equally false and
equally futile. And then. finding the
uselessness of their petty pretenses,
they would abandon the hurnbug with
surprising quickness and speak the
truth as If their tongues had never ac-
quired facility in lying
1t took six weeks of hard scrambling
on horseback where possible and afoot
where the animals could not be taken
to make much of an impression on the
quantity of the invading herds. BY the
end of that time about 160, 900 sheep had
been expelled, and the more important
central part of the park was fairly free
from such trespassers. But all around
the borders of the reservation the ffoclxs
continued to creep in, and it was not
until late in September, when Troop A
of the Utah Cavalry had replaced the
civilian patrol, that the last of the
sheep men was CAPTURED and elected.

n lCHITA, Kans.. Nov. 10
~ Miss Mabel White, a Red
VI Cross nurse, and Carol
y Hume Of Company L of the
Rough Riders, were welded
here the other day. at the
residence of the brides father. Their
marriage marks the final chapter in q
story that has taken fifteen years to
work itself out, story that teens with
romance, bravery, constancy. crime and
tragedy.
Fifteen years ago Mabel White was
fair little lass with skirts ankle high,
ard a heart full of hope. She loved
young Hume and he loved her. 1t mat
tered nothing to her that he was six
teenth part Cherokee Indian, that his
father was member of the Cherokee
Legislature His skin was as white and
as smooth as her own. he loved her
with all the flush of first passion, and
she loved and trusted him. Her father
was a clergyman who had spent many
years among the Cherokees. and he had
taught her that it was not always the
breed that made the man.
She and her Indian lover would wan
der among the trees and flowers in her
fathers grounds and dream and plot
for a blissful future. Life seemed to
them one sweet stretch of bouquets and
sunshine.
They might have married on the spot
and lived it out in eventless tranquil
lily If some one had not introduced
young Hume to the pleasures of Amer
lean firewater.
There is that in the blood of the. In
dian which boils and troubles under the
sting Of liquor. Cherokee plus a
quart of whisky is q devil.
Carol Hume tasted his first and his
twentieth drink on the same night. AS
a result he quarreled with Harry Ford,
a fellow tribesman, who in the opinion
of young Hume had been too attentive
to Miss Mabel. There were quick inter
change of epithets, a short scuffie, a
pause and an agreement to go outside
and shoot it OUT
Silently they walked down the moon
lit road and paced off the distance. The
two shots were simultaneous. Hume
was unhurt, but Ford lay dead with a
bullet in his heart.
The shock sobered Carol Hume for
the rest of his natural life.
His first impulse was to give himself
