Capturing a Desperate.

From the Anaconda Standard.
Let it be said in the first place that there
is nothing of the white feather about
Tom McTague. He is cool, he is brave,
he is intrepid. Many daring exploit has
he had in which he exhibited the highest
qualities OF courage. Once-it was back in
1SS3-"Jim'' McMasters was sheriff and
Tom" was undersheriff; there was gang
of horse thieves operating along Flint
creek, in what is now Granite county. They
would steal anything from a horse to a
telegraph pole. Everybody knew who they
were, but was afraid to say a word. Every
body realized If he made complaint he
would be burned out of house and home
his cattle confiscated. all his property either
stolen or destroyed, and he and his family
left hopelessly ruined.
The leaders of this gang of bad men,
were MARX Ryan, Chris" Gaffney and
ter them. He landed Quinlan all right at
New Chicago. He traced Gafney and To-
Gated him and man named Pat" Dooley
in charcoal house at Lion mountain, in
mile below and went into the charcoal
house all alone.
Il want you, Gaffney." said McTague.
81 am not Gaffney," said Gaffney, draw
ing his gun. land you had better get out
of here"
Gaffney had the drop on McTague, and
there was no use OF parleying.
"Oh, WELL" said McTague, 'ff You are
made mistake, and beg your pardon. You
looked SO much like him you deceived peo-
pie, and they put me on to you. As a mat
ter of fact. you deceived me myself, for /
have seen jGaffney myself once or twice
But come to inspect you more closely see
well enough that you are not Gaffney, the
man am looking for, and that's all right
McTague turned to go. AT that moment
Gaffney dropped his gun. Quick as a flash
McTague, who had his own gun in his out
side coat pocket, drew it and had the drop
on Gaffney.
'Now," said McTague, mo more monkey
ing, Gaffney. or you are a dead man. You
march and do as I tell YOU"
McTague compelled 10Th Gaffney and
Dooley to march outside the house, threw
them pair Of handouts with his olsen
gagged hand and compelled them to put the
handouts on themselves. Then he march
ed them down to- his conveyance and took
them safely to Deer Lodge. Ryan was
caught at Glendale.
Unfortunately. however, the people who
had suffered from the depredations of the
gang were still too terrified to testify
against them. and all were acquitted. A
year or two later Gaffney was shot dead

In Duel With Three Beers.

Writing of the fighting around Potgieter's
Drift, Bennett Burleigh, correspondent Of
the London Daily Telegraph, says:
Sergeant Mason. former Glasgow man
and Durham hanson cab driver, did some
fine shooting. He and other colonials by
adoption are crack shots. While potting
Beers at ], 500 yards range he CHANGED 20
turn and saw three creeping up the noun
tain side upon his left rear Dropping his
sights, he bowled one over. the man falling
across a rock and never stirring for he
was shot through the heart. An instant
later he fatally wounded the second who
tumbled headlong down the hill. The third
caught sight of his helmet and rife and
lodged behind bowlder.
''Then a duel ensued between the twain
Sergeant Mason and the Boer. Every time
Mason tried to peep around the Boer
banged at him. The sergeant returned the
compliment. Five Mauser bullets were put
through Mascn's helmet, cutting his hair
once or twice, but leaving him uninjured.
Others came perilously near his throat arm
and hands. Finally the Boer drilled a hole
through Mason's shoulder. Wounded. he
changed the rife to his left. resting II upon
the lock. A lucky shot of the sergeant's
touched the Boer, who fell forward, with
his head between the rocks. Then Mason
made siccar," putting a shot or two into
the head, which never budged. Weak from
loss of blood Mason arose. retired. had his
wound dressed and then walked out OF the
action"

A Wonderful Fire Alarm.
From the Science Siftings.


A fire alarm recently invented is COM
bination of the graphophone and telephone.
In the use of the talking alarm one of the
graphophone machines is placed on each
floor Of a building and connected with the
telephone fire alarm system. For each ma
chine a record is prepared. For instance,
the graphophone on the second floor of a
building would contain the record There
is a FIRE on the second floor" &c. This rec
ord is then adjusted SO that these words are
repeated into the telephone by the expand
ing of thermostat whenever fire occurs.
In this way the origin Of a fire is located
Immediately and automatically. The alarm
also lights the electric lights In the building,
sets a red light blazing in front OF the
building to guide the firemen and sounds
the alarm into the street through giant
megaphone-so we are told.
