IT. T. McGlrYle, who was Director
General OF the Midsummer Carnival
held in Salt Lake City, in 1897, tells
the following from personal knowl-
edge, in explanation ot his assertion that
Representative Brigham H. Roberts
is a fighting man and will not give mp
his seat in Congress without hard
battle.
"In 1871, a band of Mormon chiefs
were on a missionary tour in the
mountains OF Tennessee. The noun.
taineers warned them to jump the
country. The elders didn't pay any
attention to the warning. A baud of
Whitecaps undertook TO run them out
and two of the elders were killed at a
place called Calders Farm. The
Tenuesseeaus refused to send the
bodies home and served notice that
if any more Mormons came to get the
bodies, there would only be just 50
many more bodies to be recovered.
"rhe church called for volunteers.
Roberts responded He was a black.
smith in those days, and in that char.
acter he travelled 10 Calders Farm
and opened a shop. Between shoeing
horses and sharpening plow points,
he managed to learn where the
bodies Of the elders were buried. Que
night he opened the graves of tAe
elders and when daylight came he
and the desired bodies were on fhe
way 20 Utah. Il was a big feather in
his cap when he got back safe to Salt
Lake City, and from that time on he
had only to ask for whatever he
wanted from the Mormon Church au
thorities. That gave him his start in
public life. New York Sun.

are men walking around to-day, well
and sound, who have had holes
through their bodies and heads and
bones.
Major Rafter, Of the Twentieth
Kansas, has kept note of some curious
cases. "You cannot depend on Mau:
ser bullets, for they often go into vital
parts, and then all the skill Of surgery
cannot save the life of the victim,
the major said, as he sat in the quar-
ters the other day. 81 cannot tell
without counting up just how many
men we have had wounded nor just
how many have been killed or have
died from wounds. Some Of the
wounds were from Remington bullets
and they are much harder to treat
than the Mauser wounds. There is a
chance for blood poisoning in them,
but that is not of such common occur
ence now as it used to be.
"Now for the list Here is Edward
Crane, who holds the record for the
greatest number of wounds from a
single shot He was brought in, shot
through the hand, the forearm, the
muscles of his arm and his side. The
wounds quickly healed and Crane was

The new word "snitch" is destined

He is the jackal for the lawyer-lion.

the New York Press. He draws a

 The new antitrust law of Texas, which went into effect January 2l, ab- solutely debars any pool or trust from doing business in the state, prevents their goods from being used in the state by clearly specifying that goods bought from any trust or corporation which may propose to be trust need not be paid for. It also provides that no corporation can fix price on its goods and force merchants to sell at such price. It provides further that pooling is strictly prohibited.

4 Day for Gratitude.

We so often resolve we will be thankful But the swift demands Of each days wants enslaye the mlnd. The average man is not so large as his place in the world. This is true in this age. for both industrial and social development were never so exacting. We drop yesterday when it has passed. We forget to reflect. In fact, we have no time unless we take it-and the time is so filled.
 There IS only one way for the man Of affairs who would live c0nsclentiously. He must take time to reflect, to re- mark the fulillment of his desires by kind providence and note the good ness of his creator. Il is the peculiar office of the Sabbath to afford this time. It is day for self-knowledgc in relation to the Lord of all things The purpose is mans good, not some jealous eXaction on the partOf heaven The Sabbath was made for man. It is the servant of his higher nature.
 Happy is he who is far away from his business on Sunday. Thrice happy he who can sit by some far seeing win dow, and with folded hands trace along the sunlit hills the path over the earth which he has trod, the memory of an upright sire, gentle mother and the home group of long ago, the distant sick day with its vigils of love and the ministry of Gods care.
 The knowledge acquired by bless. ings, than which there is no sureI knowledge, is not treasured except by effort It differs from what we learn by suffering, which is somewhat more obtrusiye. Whether a man can learn more by his happiness than by his s0r' row depends on what his type is. We would all prefer, so we assert before hand, to be taught by gentleness. Yet it may be doubted if a majority are SC taught. The worship of God has nc Sweeter element than the reverent tracing of the blessings he has sent Us It is absurd to suppose that this quiet study is as we'll pursued in the noisy working day as in the calm Sabbath diyinely ordained for this very pur. pose.

Last Friday about 9:30, eight or nine hobos undertook to hold up the Cliff ton Commercial company's store, on Chase creek, also the store of Mrs. Lola Romley, but the business was re- versed they were taken in them- selves, at least four of them were, and the others got away, and of course quit town. They played the same old game at both stores, ordering bill of goods to distract the attention of the clerks so their pals could steal articles, and then finding they had no money to pay for what they had ordered. They succeeded in taking two pairs of pants out of the c. c. Co. store, but they were recovered. At the scuflle, in which tramp was knocked down by Neil Munro, one of them dropped a solid gold ring, which was found next morning by F.

Messrs. Whiteford and Champion, who have taken a long lease on the Butte and ColumbIa mines, situated Is miles northeast of Florence, should experience no difficulty in handling the properties at profit. These are the mines owned and worked by the Old Pinal Consolidated Mining com pany, of San Francisco. The company had 30-ton water jacket at Butte, l5 miles above Florence, and hauled the ore down the mines, distant from the shelter, four miles. They shipped l09 car loads of base bullion, when the principal stockholders got into a quar- rel which resulted in long litigation and shutdown and sale of the smelt- ing plant. There is some high grade hard carbonate of lead and sulphide ores in the mine which can be hand jigged at a good profit. The above named gentlemen now have force of men at work in the mines.

 ranches?
 Do they ring with rough riders re-

 Apaches,
 And other red men on the plains? Are the hills covered over with cattle, In those mystic worlds far, far away? Do the ranch houses ring with the
 prattle
 Of sweet little children at play? At night in those bright stars up yon

 Do cowboys lie down to their rest And gaze at this old earth and wonder If rough riders dash over their
 breast? Do they list to the wolves in the can

 Do they watch the night-hawk in
 his flight? Their horses their only companions, While guarding the herd through
 the night. Sometimes when bright star is wink.

 Like diamond set in the sky, find myself lying and thinking It may be Gods heaven on high. Iwonder if there I will meet her, That mother the Lord took away, If in that star-heaven I'll greet her At the roundup on the last day. In the east the gray daylight is break
