The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1900-07-05
Written for The Prison Mirror.
A PYROTECHNICAL EPI-
SODE.

To the lone exile, separated
from friends and kin, immured in
solitude away from the pleasures
and enjoyments of his native
hearth, where nothing is left to
him but meditation upon the
past, nothing buoyes his spirit up
and fills his breast with hope of
happy time to come, SO much as
the fond memories of his boyhood's
companions and the pranks he
played while in company with
them.
Being a lorn Yankee exile at
the present moment and the chief
est of Yankee holidays, with it's
worldwide fame and clustering
memories, mingled with thoughts
of the rich argosies of wealth and
joyous freedom. that day ushered
into millions Of the earth's in
habitants, it's visions Of pyrotechni-
cal displays and pageants that
were SO dear to me and my COM
panions in my childhood years.
Among the pranks we played on
the Fourth of July is tender and
ludicrous recollection of a huge
irecracker joke we perpetrated one
Fourth. We boys, for several
weeks before the eventful day, had
been reasoning and cogitating
among ourselves to contrive some
great surprise to spring on the
city on the Fourth. The result of
our Vaccinations was the produc-
ton of an enormous imitation
frecracker made from two foot
joint of ordinary stovepipe, the
ends being plugged up and the
whole thing papered over with red
paper so that it resembled to T
the genuine cracker on a large
scale.
Bright and early on the morning
of the Fourth the joker was sprung
on the public. The first silly
dupe to be taken in on this gigan-
tic fool cracker, was a motorman
on trolley line. The sham dyna-
inter was placed on end in the
middle of the track with a long
heavy fuse attached to it, and
when car hove in sight much
ostentatious fuss was made about
the cracker and when the car got
near enough the fuse was ignited
and the boys hurriedly scattered
in all ways. The fuse instantly
began to crepitate and sputter
fearfully upon being lighted.
The mOtOrman, upon percelvlng
the awful proportions of the sup
posed explosive, instantly jumped
to the conclusion that his car
would be blown from the track,
and yelled for everyone to Jump
for their lives. Then turning off
the electric current, he frantically
threw his weight OF, the brakes to
stop the car while several passen-
gers on the front platform nearly
broke their necks in jumping from
the car The motorman managed
to bring the car to a stop within
about four feet of the dangerous
looking sham, and considering
that he had done his duty to the
street railway company made a
hasty bee line for fence at the
side of the street, over which he
disappeared with the rapidity of
bell-diver taking a header for the
bottom Of a lake, leaving the con-
sternated passengers Of the car
shouting and yelling like lot Of
fends, stampeding in all direc-
tions, as it was an open summer
car.
During the melee, one of the
boys picked up the innocent
cracker and spirited it away SO
that when the frantic, demoralized
folks had reached what they con-

On Tuesday night or Wednes
day morning an attempt was
made to rob the safe of our
enterprising butchers, Messrs.
Krentz & Wolff. They used as
instruments the cleavers, and
succeeded in knocking off the
combination and removing the
pins in the hinges, but did not
succeed in effecting an entrance.
consequently had the labor for
nothing. The thieves rumaeed
all the drawers in the Counting
room, but they contained no
Haluables. The town was not
incorporated any too soon. We
need an energetic night watch
man. The town is overrun with
strangers with no apparent
business, who must eat and
have 9 place to sleep. When
our city fathers get down to
business one of the first things
they should do is TO establish a
chain gang to work the streets.
Such an order of things once es-
lished and enforced hobos will
give our embryo eity ? wide
berth.

A Flagstaff correspondent of
the Los Angeles Herald, puts
the late Indian trouble in the
following light: The long threat
ened rupture between the COW
boys and the Navajo Indians has
been postponed, not settled, to
some future time more agreeable
to the Indians, but not to the
cowboys. AS result, the resist
anCe to arrest of the Indians,
when Deputy Dan Hogan and a
posse of cowboys last fall at
attempted to arrest them,
wherein two Indians were killed,
two wounded and one white
man was killed and two wound
ed, and the taking Of the posses
horses and outfit including their
Winchesters by the Indians,
will now go unpunished. It is
averred by them that if it had
been the cowboys instead of the
Indians, the authorities would
have chased them to the ends of
the earth or brought them all to
justice. Deputy Hogan says he
is not a party to the fixing up
process and is powerless in the
matter. However, the compro-
missing of a felony has been
perpretrated by parties high in
authority, and the matter will
be thoroughly aired when cleo
ton time comes around. One
of the most remarkable features
of the affair was the wonderful
vitality and endurance of Chief
Hostens Bouten, an Indian over
20 years of age. In The fight,
he was shot through the lung,
through and through, and he
lay where he fell in his own
blood in the thick cedars with
out water or food for a period
Of three days, before being res
cued by a searching party OF

that this will give a pressure of

proposed to enlarge the mains

Grazing of stQckin the forest
regions of Arizona has been a
decided protection of the pine
timber. Nothing will eat the
young pine. On the Apache In

fires have done much damage.
During the vet season grass
springs up, only to dry when
summer comes. The scrub oak

the dry grass, makes plenty Of
fuel for a fire and when one is
started it sweeps through the

age to the timber. Where
grazing is allowed there is no
possibility of fire spreading.
