something Of klondkc OF her own
if the story told today by some min
ers at French bar, in the Missouri
river, IS to be credited. They say
teat when the river went dry a
few days ago as the result Of the
completion Of the dam at Canyon
Ferry, they panncd cut quite lot Of
gold from the sand in the river at
French bar. In al several hundred
dollars in the yellow metal were
taken out before the water com
nenccd running again. The rich
ness of the bar startled the oldest Of
the old-timcrs. Several pans that
went IS and 50 were taken out. The
richest pan was 5000. They claim
that if the river had remained dry
about three days they would have
taken out enough to go to the Klon-
dixie on. The discovery Of the rich
ness Of the bar at French is liable to
result in large company being
formed to dredgc the river in the
spring.

SHOWER OF PIGS.
A Civil War Veteran Was Under 1t an6
 His Arm Was Broken.

A Clvil War Veteran Was Under 1t and
 His Arm Was Broken.
 The Norfolk correspondent of the Winsted Citizen says:
 James Green, veteran of the civil war, was caught last week in a shower Of pigs and now carries a broken right arm in sling as a result. Green is em- ployed on large dairy farm between Canaan and Norfolk, and has charge of nifty or sixty head of dairy cows.
 Last Tuesday, as he was standing on the main floor of the big COW barn, he suddenly heard soft, fat thud and looked up just in time to see young pig-or the remnants of a young pig bound up from the floor.
 Before he had time to move the per formance was repeated and another promising hog was hurled into eternity without benefit of clergy. Green, how ever, had located the storm center by this time and had discovered that it was confined to the center of the barn the hay shoot, reaching up fully fifty feet to the lofts, being the vortex through which the meteoric porkers were descending.
 
 says Green in describing the accident, T says t myself, Green I says, there's sumthin wrong with 'em pigs, an I starts over t find aout what's ailin em, an was jest gettin' over where l cud peer up t see for myself, when long cums another; 'peared s'if he'd jest throwed hisself at me deliber- ate-brushed my face s he went by, and had he put off his jump second longer, he'd struck me jest where he'd kallated tew. Thinksey this is gettin baout all tn pork as is rightfull cumin tew me, and mebby kin view this af- fair full's well from sum other stand point. It don't seem now s'if I loitered round deliberatin' longern necessary, but the creatures was t quick for me. The next one as made the descend cum plumb fer me, and would have squashed all over my face if I hadn't put up my arm jest in time.
 'I saved my face, but he broke my arm. Hit me so hard I went down like steer and lay right at the mercy of 'em fallin' pigs-exposed to tn hull storm. Two more cum through an hit me on the way fore I could turn to an crawl aout tn way, but their blows was glancin' an only bruised me some.'
 The pigs had climbed up the narrow stairs to the topmost loft and the leader, approaching too near the shoot, had fallen through. The others, determined that their leader should not enjoy the sport alone, followed him as fast as they could Fifteen came through altogether and all were killed.
 Green was in the battles of Antietam, Shiloh, and was with Grant through the Wilderness, and he never received a scratch.

BURIED IN ORE UP TO HIS NECK.
 Henry c. Stevens, brother of Edward c. Stevens, proprietor of the Stevens house here, who is employed as foreman at the new furnace of the Barnum, ' Richardson company in East Canaan, and whose duty it is to oversee the outside labor, had a most miraculous escape from instant death about o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The Winsted Citizen says: A coal car, of the Dongola type, with Hopper bot tom, had arrived filled with ore. In trying to open the trap door under the car, MT. Stevens was struck vicious blow on the head by the dropping door and thrown down an embankment. Be- fore he had time to regain his feet he was buried in ore up to his neck. His cries for help reached fellow workmen
 but it was some time before he was dug out of the ore bed. MT. Stevens head was badly cut, his body was painfully bruised and he complained of terrible pains in the back of his neck. Dr. Lee
 who is attending the injured man.
 thlnks that his patient will recover. E, J. Prescott returned this morning from East Canaan, where, last night, he as- sisted in taking care of MT. Stevens. Mir. Prescott and Deputy Sheriff O'Donnell happened at the scene of the accident soon after it occurred

MONEY LOANS AND SAVINGS
 BANKS

The Brattleboro savings bank has re- 1uced it's annual dividends on deposits from to 3 1-2 per cent. It will at the same time make loans on first class real estate security at per cent. in stead of G. as hitherto charged. The Springfield Republican says: "One reason for this course is the general de- cline in the earning power of money, which is causing the savings banks all over the country to lower their dlv1- dend rates. But a special reason is piven-the refusal of the Vermont legis- lature to reduce the tax on savings bank deposits. It is seven-tenths of l per oent. on every dollar of deposits as well as of surplus, and compares with Massachusetts rate of one-half of per cent. with exemption of money leaned on real estate mortgage in the state two-fifths of 1 per cent. in Rhode lsl- and. a net rate of about one-fifth Of l per cent. in Connecticut, and no tax at all in New York state. But the Yer mont savings banks are not so closely restricted in respect to loans. They have been able to pay higher dividends than the banks of Massachusetts on this account"
