QuiTed to set forth the nature of their
claim. The defendants demurred on

state facts sufficient to constitute a

PRACTICAL KIND OF MERCY,
"Whats Done We Partly May Compute,
but Not Know What's Resisted.''


From the Atlanta Constitution.
People who hastily condemn crime
and judges who with little real CON
sideration sentence criminals to penal
ties which must result in lifetime dis
grace, seldom pause to reflect how they
might have acted under similar tempt
alton and how they would like to have
been dealt with when arraigned for
punishment. In other words, we often
forget the precept of mans truest
Friend-"Let him who is without sin
cast the first stone"
This fact was wildly exemplified in
a peculiar case which has just been
passed on in a New York police court
Louis Wilson, young boy, was accus-
sed of stealing a camera from his EN-
ployers, the ScOVille & Adams Photo
graph company, and the latter firm had
prepared to prosecute ,ue case to the
bitter end. Through some strange freak
of fortune judge with deep knowl-
edge of the weakness of human nature
happened to be on the bench. MagiS-
trate Crane heard the evidence through
and looking at the tears rolling down
The boys frank, open face, declared
that he did not believe him to be a
thief at heart, and that he, the Judge,
had compunctions about sentencing him
to punishment which would forever
brand him as member of the criminal
class. Secretary Scott of the firm, who
was in the court as the prosecutor, was
obdurate. The boy was guilty, and he
said that the interests he represented
felt called on to make an example.
Magistrate Crane then related a pas;-
age of his own life, when. as lad on a
salary of 81 a week, he had barely sutIi-
cient TO keep body and soul together.
He knew that he was earning several
times as much as that pitiful sum, but
his employers regarded him as they
would an animal necessary 10 their con-
VenienCe. one day they sent him to the
bank to deposit $500 in currency. He
had not tasted food that day. He was
faint and weak, and he was compelled
to pass several restaurants on his way,
where food lay temptingly displayed.
He declared that omy the knowledge
that his mother believed him perfectly
honest saved him from becoming a
thief. From this he argued that the
employers of underpad labor should he
lenient on trivial Offenses For a time
Wilson'S fate hung in the balance. A
little more obstinacy from the prosecu-
tion would probably have made thief
of him for life. The president of the
company, however, finally took Magis-
trate Cranes view of the case and with
drew the charge against his employe.
Robert Burns says: whats done
we partly may compute, but not know
what's resisted" The truth of such
sayings we never realize until brought
face to face with case of this nature.
When all society comes around to the
stand taken by the New York magis-
trate, we may hope to see the daWning
of the golden era so long sighed for by
poets and seers.

FISH BERRY FISHERMEN
It Is Claimed They Are Plying
Their Vocation Near Anaconda.
USE COCCALUS INDICUS
Otherwise Known as Fish Berry, and
With 1t Poison the Fish-Scoop
Them Up in Nets and Boast
of Big Catches.

Do you do your fishing with fish
it will go hard with you among the
amateur fishermen of Anaconda.
An awful suspicion directed against
certain sportsmen and disciples of
Isaac Walton is abroad in the city. 1t
is asserted in whispers that these fish
ermen have been doing their fishing by
foul means. They are what true lovers
of the gentle art call fish berry fisher
men,"
Medical science, and, alas, fishing
science also, knows a little berry vul-
carly called the fish berry, but labeled
in the drug stores 'coccalus indicus. "
This berry has the power to stir up
such a commotion in the insides of a
fish, when it reaches that inside, as
to make the poor little fish turn over
on his back and if he has a ghost, give
it up. 1t is sort of pisca torial
rough on rats, without the assurance
that goes with the latter medicine,
Don't die in the house." for the fishes
do die in their natural habitation, and
herein the .dVantage to the fish berry
fisherman.
1t is the custom of that vllainous
lnulNluual 10 purchase quantities or
coccalus indicus, grind it up fine with
meat and throw it in the stream. Then
he, rejoicing in his ghoulish work, re-
pairs to a point down stream and, with
a scoop net, does the undertaken act as
the fish, their white bellies turned sad
ly skyward, float down.
After this, the fish berry fisherman
comes back to town and exhibits to ad-
miring and unsuspicious friends bas-
ket full of speckled beauties, and the
aforesaid unsuspiciOus friends have no
thought that the death of each little
beauty was caused by a most awful
stomach ache instead of hook and
line.
That this reprehensible fishing is
being carried on in the streams of Deer
Lodge county there are sportsmen who
will make affidavits. OF course the affi-
davits of spOrtsmen are sometimes
questionable, but in this instance the
spOrtsmen declare that they will back
up the affidavits with those of drug
gists, and druggists have high repu-
tation for probity and veraCity. 1t is
claimed they would not lie to the as
SCISSOR, and there is no more rigid test
than this.
The sportsmen of Anaconda are
greatly worked up over the matter The
full extent of this agony can best be
imagined after reading the following
lines penned by one of their number
in desperaton
"Coccalus indicus!
Whence come you and why,
To kill the little fishes
And aid fishermen to lie?"

concerning it's health. The tender care
OF physicians from all parts of the

The Century company, in Park val
ley, Box Elder county, promises to
make a record during the present year
as a dividend-payer, as it's property is
showing UP in splendid shape, with
fine bodies of high grade milling ore
blocked OUT and in sight, while the af-
fairs of the association are now IN
prosperous and satisfactory condition.
AS mentioned IN these columns a few
days ago. the articles of Incorporation
of the Century company have been
amended SO as to make its capital stock
asseSsable, and it is learned that since
this was done, the management has let
a contract for the driving of a SOO-foot
tunnel in the exploration of the Lizzie
lode, embraced in the companyS hold
ings, the expectation being that the
ledge will be cut in this ground before
the completion of the contract, it be-
ing specified that the contractor shall
push work vigorously, and that two
shifts at least shall be steadily en-
pioye6 until the contract is completed,
the new workings to be on the other
side of the divide from the work for
merly done in the development OF this
claim, the site of the new tunnel TO be
but a short distance above the little
mill, which has been in use during the
past year, and from which several con-
signmentS of gold bullion have been
turned out, which have found their way
10 the Salt Lake market.
In addition to. letting this contract
for development work, the company is
now making arrangements for the cree
ton of a ten-stamp mill on the ground
early in the spring, the new plant to
be located on the site of the old one
and when this is installed Fnd in opera
ton it is believed that it will not be
long before the company viii find itself
on dividend-paying basis, and there
is good ground fer this belief, as in the
different workings of the property ex-
cellent bodies of fine milling ore are
exposed ready for extraction and treat
ment, and as development work will be
carried ahead of the breaking down of
the ore for the mill, there is reason in
the hope expressed that in due time
Box Elder Will be able to boast of the
possession of a paying mine.
Adjoining the Century, and in the
near neighborhOod of this promising
property there are a number of other
propositions, which viii doubtless fall
into line as producers before the close
OF 1899, and it is learned that consid-
cradle interest is being taken in mining
circles just now in prospective bonan-
zas in that locality, and that with the
disappearance of snow and the opening
Of the season Park valley viii enjoy a !
merited and gOOd-siZed boom.

a Foot of Solid Ore

AT the office of the Joe Bowers Elk
tension Mining company word was re-
ceived yesterday from the mine that
in the workings of this Tintic property,
on the S00-foot level, there was a steady
improvement in the quality and extent
of the ore deposits, and that now. in
the face of the drift, there was a foot
of solid mineral of high grade, and
which closely resembles the best ore
which has made the Joe Bowers mine.
its near neighbor, SO justly famous.
The new steam hoist for the Joe
Bowers Extension was expected to ar
rive at Silver City yesterday. The
company has sent down a milIwrght
and engineer, and the plant will be put
in place as rapidly as possible.
IN we'll informed mining circles Joe
Bowers Extension is looked upon as
one of the coming bonanzas of Dia-
mond, and there was an active demand
yesterday for the stock of the asso-
citation on the floor Of the exchange, as
well as on the street
