"Pur Autre Vie"

Probably not more than one
Modern Woodman in fifty knows
what his society's motto, "Pur
Autre Vie," means. It is an old
English common law maxim, cor
rupted from the ancient French,
and is freely interpreted, 'For
another's life" For proof of this,
local Woodmen are invited to refer
to Bonvier's Law Dictionery, Vol.
2. page 488, to be found in any
lawyers library, wherein the
maxim is fully explained.
Head Clerk Halves, of the
Woodmen Society, states that on
an average he receives a dozen
letters per week asking explana-
ton of this motto. Some of the
correspondents write TO correct
what they think is an error in the
spelling, contending variously that
it should be spelled pure Autri.
Vie" Pour Une Autre Vie" and
Pour Ia Vie dun Autrie." As it
is now and has always been spelled
the Woodmen motto is correct
"Pur Autre Vie"

The Glendale Leader takes the
right stand in the following: "The
public press is not the proper place
to air personal grievances, and
hereafter no articles of this kind

sense of journalism, and will not
allow personal abuse and SANDER

The severity Of losses in the pres
ent war may be gsugei by the fact
that we have already lost over a
seventh Of the total loss sustained by
the PrussIans in the val OF lSIO from
the infantry fire Of the FrencL. We
have now lost over 100 men killed
almost wholly by rife fire. Lord
wolseley In his SOLDIER Pocket
Book for Field Service says: Ac-
cording to the German medical re-
turns, the number of all ranks killed
in the war OF 1870 by rife fire was6J39
and 1903 wounded, while by the ar
tillery fire the number was G95 killed
and 1895 wounded; that Is, out Of ev-
cry 100 men killed 81 we're killed b.
rife fire and nine by artillery.
Then comes cue OF Wolseley's well
known digg at the artillery: The ef.
feet OF the artillery fire Is more moral
than actual, and | trust that these
figures Will make the army, especial
~ tile infantry, fully recognize the
truth OF that assertion and put 4 stop
to that cry for more guns which one
still hears occasionally .--London

A Big Cattle Steal.

Last Friday William Turner of
Bruneau Valley. Idaho. came tn town
and reported to George Bruce, Secre-
tary OF the Cattle Association. tina.
about four hundred head OF cattle,
from two-year-olds up, belonging TO
him and other parties. had Leeu stolen
from the Il desert, between the 18th
OF January and the 18th OF February.
From what Mr.. Turner said. il an.
pears h a tie cattle were driven TO
the ii desert aud left there without
anyone to look after them. On the
18th OF February the oRne-s went 10
look after them. a thorough search
OF that country was made, but moth
ing was heard OF the missing cattle.
Not finding them. the con-
Guided that the cattle had been driv-
en- south through Nevada, aud Mr..
Turner came here III quest OF infor-
nation concerning them. Mr.. Bruc.
was unable to give Mr.. Turner any
Information aud requested him TO
remain here until Sheriff Campbell
returned from Carson. where he had
gone with Ham Blaine, as he had
just been through the southern part
OF the county and might have heard
something about the missing cattle.
For some reason Mr.. Turner did not
wait and Mr.. Bruce dill not see him
again.
We learn from Sheriff Campbell
that when be was in Butte Valley
last week he was told by several par.
ties that about twenty-five head OF
cattle had been driven south through
that country by :wo men about the
18Th 0. March. These may have been
part Of the stolen cattle. 1t is more
than probable, however, that il the
cattle were driven TO the railroad
they were shipped 1t some point east
Of here.
