In 1896 Jack and a companion were tray-
cling on horseback through the Snake
River district, when they lost their way
in a fog at night and strayed into sheep
camp. where they were attacked by dogs.
One OF the dogs was shot, and the sheep
men took up the fight. A fusillade took
place and the two travellers galloped away.
Later, Jack, In At Of braggadocio, de-
clared with much detail that he and his
companion had been in a shooting scrape
at Snake River sheep camp. His COM
panion was a chance acquaintance and
had disappeared. Three or four days later
story spread over the range that two
men had been found dead in a wagon at
the head Of Deep Creek. a tributary Of the
Snake River. The bodies were identified
as those Of Daniel C. Cummins and J. S.
Wilson. Both men had been shot to death.
Jacks story was recalled and he was bare
ly saved from lynching. He was hurried
of to Boise City and after a trial he was
convicted of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced in January last to be
hanged on February !. 1899.
Between the day Of Jacks conviction
and the day set for the hanging James
Bowers, superintendent of the vast Sparks
Harrei range, and Jefferson Gray. half
breed Indian, went to Boise and declared
that Gray killed Cummins and Wilson;
that the shooting did not take place on
the night OF February 2, but at noon on
February 4. and not at the sheep ranch
away.
Gray was tried, pleaded self-defence.
and was acquitted. Notwithstanding this
the Nevada pardon board refused to free
Davis. and two miilibnaire cattle men have
taken up his fight.

THE X-RAY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Doctor Thinks He Has SOlv
ed . Great Problem.

Chicago, ILL.,. April 20.-Dr. H. P. Pratt
a practical electrician and scientist, con-
nected with three local medical colleges
as professor Of electro Therapeutics, hal
made a specially OF the X-ray machine
and the production of shadowgraphs. and
it is through the x-rays. he declares, ht
has solved the problem upon which Mar
conf and the Notre Dame professors are
now at work. He believes he has devised
plan for both telegraphing and telephon-
ing without the use OF wires and can reach
New York by means of it.
MY idea'' he said yesterday, lis to gel
up where the atmosphere is rarer and
clearer, say 1000 feet CT more. on top OF
is Ruhmkorff coil sending current OF
from 100000 to .5.ooO,0OO volts to the
Crookes tube to be placed at the apex OF
on a pivot like a searchlight. SO as TO be
turned in any direction.
Alongside the tower would stand q
mast or pole Of equal height, capped by a
metal globe. A current Of low voltage
would be sent up this pole, and as the high
voltage x-ray current from the tower
struck the globe it would pick up and car
ry along the weaker current. The latter
would be governed by telegraph or tele-
phone instrument.
"At the New York end OF the route
would stand another 1,O00-foo mast or
pole. surmounted by a metal globe. and
as the X-ray current from Chicago reached
1t the pulsations could be recorded by q
telegraph sounder or heard by telephone
receiver"

A LIKELY CUSTOMER.
Spain May Place Orders for
Guns in This
Country.

New York, June 1O-The achieve
ments of American guns in the war
Of 1898 have challenged respect abroad,
and there is reason for stating that
Spain contemplates placing orders Tor
war material in this country after
things have settled a bit.
Russia is about to re-equip her field
artillery with six thousand new guns
at an expenditure of over $50000,G GOO,
a part of which will be placed with
some American firm. Russia has al
ready asked American firms to COM
pete in an elaborate test of field guns
at st. Petersburg in August next. Or
ders given on the basis of these tests
are to be conditioned upon completion
of the work within two years.
Part of the Russian expenditure or
$50, 0OO,0 900 and over will be placed in
the United States. The new semi-aN-
tomato rapid-fre guns for the pro-
lection of the mine fields along our
coast are now being rapidly completed
a Derby Conn, and delivered to the
army ordnance experts at Sandy Hook,
where they will be given thorough
test. This system of protecting torpe-
does by means of semi automatic guns
of calibres greater than the one

ton has ever yet attempted.

ARMY TRANSPORTATION.
Natives Paid for Use of Vehicles When
Necessary to Impr ess Them.

Washington, June 1O.-The report of
Capt A. G. Sawtell, chief quartermaster
of the second division of the army in
the Philippines, showing the operations
under his charge since hostilities begun
with the Filipinos, gives a good ac-
count of the transportation service of
the army. He says there was sufficient
transportation Sntil the troops began to
move against the Filipinos, when 1t was
found necessary to impress all available
vehicles.
Receipts We're given in such cases and
the people paid for their use He also
secured 119 buffalo carts for service. AS
the troops moved nOrthward, the train
service on the railroad was organized
and supplies forwarded as fast as the
army moved. Capt. Sawtell speaks in
high praise of the Chinese drivers of the
buffalo carts, especially when under
fire, which led to their employment as
litter bearers. He expresses the opinion
that the Chinese will solve the transpor-
tation problem of the army while oper-
ating in Luzon, either in the wet or
dry seasons.

young man well known about town, was
brutaIly assaulted at 1890 o'clock this
morning and beaten into insensibility.
Mr. Brown was walking down street

Hartford railroad station some one
rushed from the shadow and dealt him
a fearful blow. There was apparently
more than one person in the affair, but
Brown is not certain. He remained in
an unconscious condition for several

The police we're notified OF the mys-
FERROUS assault, and searched high ana
low for the assailants. Brown, so far as
he knows has not an enemy in town
