part of the possessions of the Sparks
Harrell company, and it was on the
land of this corporation that the double
tragedy took place.
When first the fiocks oHthe sheepmen
began to be seen west Of the range of
hills there was a council of war, and
the cattlemen decided to fight There
was not a pitched battle, however, for
the sheepmen were close to the govern
ment of the counties on the southern
tier, and Cassia was no exception to
the rule-in fact. it was said that the
sheepmen had friends at court, even in
the state government. However, it was
case of armed neutrality, and when
one or two of the sheepmen could To-
cate some of the cowboys in the valleys
or on the ranges, they would pot at
them with entire serenity. 1t must be
said, too, that the cowboys would waste
lead at long range upon some of the
sheepherders when the chance offered.
Gold Fields Jack boastful, dare
devil sort of fellow, not overDopular
with his comrades, had said that he
would like no job better than to get $40
a month for killing the sheep herders;
so, when on the evening of February
he rode into the settlement at Rock
Creek and said that in a night battle
he had killed two herders, his story
was believed. He always carried a
rifle and was dead shot. Fourteen
days later the bodies of two men were
found upon the plains. Gold Fields
jack was arrested and convicted upon
the evidence of his boasts and SEN
fenced to be hanged, the case dragging
along until February 90 of this year,
the day set for the execution.
But when the conviction of Davis
was known, another man came to the
front and admitted that he had killed
Dan Cummings and ]. G. Wilson. the
sheep herders. This was Jeff d. Gray,
who had returned to Idaho to stand
trial for a little shooting scrape from
San Joaquin ranch in this state Gray
told story of an attack upon himself
and comrade by the two sheep herd
ers at noon of February a. two days
after cold Fields Jacks" adventure.
He described his quick work with his
gun and how he killed the sheep herd
ers with two bullets fired as rapidly
as he could pull the trigger. On the
strength of his story stay was grant
ed to Davis, and Gray was put on trial
at Albion, the county seat of Cassia
county. Gray was acquitted on the
plea of self-defense, but the pardon
board would not let Davis go. They
seemed to feel that there must be a
sacrifice for the sheepherders. Then
it was that the writ was asked of
Judge Beatty, of the circuit court of
Idaho, and this being refused, an ap-
peal was taken.
Meanwhile the gallows has been
erected and stands outside Davis win
dow--the same one from which he
looked and heard the appeals of coun-
sci for his freedom. If he should fail of
this remedy, Attorney John w. Dorsey,
who has fought the case, will take it
to the United States supreme court.

FACING DEATH FOR IDLE BOASTS
Gold Fields Jack Convicted of Murder
Committed by Another.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
John Davis, or Gold Field Jack"
who is lying in a cell in Albion, Idaho,
will be the central figure in a story
which will be told when, on the open
ing of the coming term of the United
States circuit court of appeals, his APP
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
will be heard. 1t is case of the dead
ly hatred of the cattleman for the
sheepman, the struggle of the sheep
man to secure all the available range
in the mountains and the refusal to do
justice to an innocent man when the
guilty man has confessed and bee tried
for the killing of two enemies.
The fatal shooting took place two
years ago, and there is connected with
the case all through a series of cir
cumstances which are sufficient to give
a foundation for the many complcat-
ions which have since arisen. The
whole trouble started when the sheep
men of Eastern Idaho failed to keep an
alleged agreement to stay to the east
of the Shoshone range of hills and give
to the cattlemen undisputed7 nqssession
of the rich range on the Wit of the
hills, About the Deep and Rock Creek
valleys lies the vast range which is

Charles Sumner as Seen by Contempor-
ary in Congress.

He was always eagerly DESTROYS of
sympathy, although as everybody
knows, he said and did what seemed
to him right, no matter who might dill
fer from him. If he had made a speech
in the senate he liked to call my at
tention to it. If he saw me he would
say, Read me in the Globe tomorrow
morning." or Have you seen our de-
bate in the senate Yesterday" He was
especially gratified that, in an humble
way, I stood by him in the matter of
San Domingo. / have so frequently
expressed my love and reverence for
Sumner in writing and public speech
that / ought not to dwell upon him
here. But certainly he will ever be one
of the most striking figures in the his
tory of America and in the history of
liberty. His was, as Bishop Hunting
ton so beautifully said,~" good image
and superb life" Is there anything
in the annals of eloquence more sub
lime than the sentences with which he
begins his first speech, when he re-
sumed his seat in the senate after a
long illness, which the crime of ruff
fan had caused him?
Sumner loved his friends and associ
ates ardently. The loss Of a friendship
to him was deep wound. So much
more is it to his honor that he never
wavered, faltered or t1nehed.
ued a work of art for the moral lesson
it conveyed. He had none of that i'm
moral and pernicious quality of taste
or intellect which values saying be-

because of his success as an artist.
without regard to the truth of the
sentiment or the justice of the cause.
1t has been said that Mr.. Pierce
edited Sumner as if he Were a consti-
tuition. He was right. If the rules of
civil conduct which Charles Sumner
wrote down and obeyed and exemplified
were to be taken by his successors,
who are called to share in the gov
eminent, as an ineXorable and infleX-
ible code, with an authority no more
to be disputed than that of the consti-
tuition itself, we should rise instantly

is He A WIZARD 2
A Central African Who Travels Hundreds
of Miles in Trance.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Here is a yarn that has been picked
up by the Society for Psychical Re
search. DR.. r. w. Felkin, who had ac-
companied E1nin Pasha on a tour
through Uganda and adjacent territory,
is responsible for it. He says that some
time last year his party had got back
to Lado, amout a thousand miles south
of Khartoum, and that he had been
without letters from Europe for year.
Naturally, he was impatient for It'd
ings. In that part of Africa he had
often come across wizards, who pre-
tended to transform themselves into
lions or other animals at night and to
travel immense distances in this guise.
They also assert that they acquire in
formation at such times about stolen
cattle and other lost property. Dr. Eel
kin saws that although he has no ex-
PLANTATION to offer in regard to these al
legged feats, he had chance to verify
one of their stories.
One morning after his arrival at Lado
man came to his tent. evidently in
great excitement, and said that the
local wizard, or 'm'lngo,' had been
roaming about the country the night
before. in the form of jackal. During
his rambles the "m'logO' had visited
Meschera- el-Rek, fully $50 miles away,
between Lado and KhartOum. The
wizard declared that two steamers had
Just arrived at this point. and had
brought mails. He also described
infinitely the appearance of an English
officer accompanying the boats.
DR.. Felkin ridiculed the story. But
Emin Pasha took the thing more seri-
ously He directed that the wizard be
brought before him and questioned the
fellow.
"Where did you go last night?"
81 was at Meschera EEL REX
"What were you doing there" :
81 went to see some friends
"What did you see?'
Il saw two steamers arriving from
Khartoum."
ooh. this is nonsense You could
not possibly have been at Meschera-el
| REX
| Il was there" the wizard replied
| emphatically. And with the steam
ers was an Englishman, a short man
with big beard.
| "Well what was his missiOn?"
| HE says that the great pasha at
Khartoum had sent him, and he has
some papers for you. He is starting
overland tomorrow, bringing the pa
pers with him. and he will be here
| about 80 days from now
| DR.. Felkin says that 80 days later
| the Englishman did arrive at Lado,
and that he brought letters for the
! party The new conner was Lupton
Bey. Of the wizard, DR.. Felkin says
that he is satisfied that the man was
never outside his native village in his
| life.

THE PRETTY CREOLE MAIDEN.
Busy Are Her Days, and Profitably Is Her
Time Employed.

Busy Are Her Days, and Probably Is Her
Time Employed.
THE home life of our demoiselle as
she approaches young womanhood is
full of bright and varied interest"
writes M. Il. M. Davis, of THE Creole
Girl of New Orleans in the June La
dies Home Journal. She is in close
touch with Pere and Mere Gas the
grandparents are called. she confides
her innocent dreams to grande cousine,
the wrinkled dame about whose long
gone youth there are romantic family
legends: she reads poetry with Mon
uncle, who has seen service in the field
she begins to superintend the piano or
harp lessons of her little sisters. She
is herself initiated into the mysteries
of the sewing-room; she learns to brew
the potions necessary to the sick room :
she is taught the secrets of those soups
and conserves for which the women Of
her house are famous.
+ "One night late in August there Is a
family gathering. A farandole is
danced, perhaps, led by pere himself,
who draws the long, laughing line of
children and grandchildren, aunts,
uncles and cousins about the halls and
parlors of the old house, up and down
the stairways, in and out of the arched
corridors. At it's close mademoiselle,
with eyelids reddening, says a fearful
good-by, to be whisked away by an
early morning train to the convent in
the country, where she happily passes
the last year of her school life"

How to Succeed on the stage.

"The personal qualifications of the
girl who seeks a life on the stage
should be. first. Unborn dramatic tai
ent; then, youth. health. magnetism
and abundant capacity for good, hard
honest work. A valuable adjunct is a
temperament which will enable her.
when the clouds Of adversely are
thickest, to wait until the sun shines
again. with abiding faith in herself
and her own lucky star. The aspir-
ant possessing these qualities will
sooner or later find pl1ce in the pro-
fession. and there Is always room for
her. To study for the stage. a girl
should study everything. Broad cul-
ture is of inestimable advantage. She
should study people. see good acting
and should begin to act herself at the
earliest possible moment Coaching
before the first plunge Is a great help.
for in a short time one Is then able to
acquire many little things which
otherwise would take months to mas

Woman lovers Of Shakespeare win
be interested in the Shakespeare club
of Manchester, N. H, which celebrated
its twenty-fifth birthday recently, says
Harper's Bazaar. Its founding dates
from 1878, when q class Of six Man
chester women was formed for the
study Of the works of this immortal
poet. Their work, under the leader
ship OF Mrs. Irene Hughes, was thor
ough and helpful, and when a few
years later another circle OF six wom-
en- of kindred aims met to form the
Manchester Shakespeare club, the or
ganization became at once an influence
that was entirely disproportionate to
its small list Of members. The mem
bership has increased slowly; 1t stands
today at only twenty-five. OF the or
iginal six members FIVE are still con-
nected with the club, one having died
in 1887. The club is perhaps unusual

crate club motives in its resolute ad-
herence to its cause Of being. II or

club meets weekly and through No
