lashings alongside, and swung out at
a right angle from the brig, with the

Again and again he writhed his body
upward in wild struggles to get astride
the boom, or to reach 1t with his
knees, but in vain!
Instead of exciting pity his terrible
situation drew forth a shout of de-
rision, mingled with expressions OF ha-
tired and satisfaction, from the line
of avenging faces that surveyed him
over the bulwark. He hung thus for
fully Ave minutes, for he was a power

brave as 1t is possible for rufflan to
be; but the prospect Of an immediate
death-a death. too. from which there
was no escape-terrifed him.
His glance of hate toward us turned
to one of wild and earnest entreaty
"Mercy!-pardon! the name and
for the love of the Almighty" he ex-
claimed In Spanish. in a tone Of in
tense earnestness; but he was heard by
us with fierce derision in that moment
of just triumph and too long delayed
vengeance.

his aching hands turned white as his

were blood-red. His eyes grew wild
and haggard as terror chilled his cow

yet through the surge the deet craft
flew on!
Every moment increased the weight
OF his body and the weakness OF his
hands and wrists.

Lord Roberts, at 0sfonteiu, six or
eight miles east of Paardeberg, faces
the reformed Boer army, from five to
six thousand strong, their left resting
on high kopje aud their right on the
river. This may be merely a corps of
observation, ready to retire on prepared
position. Doubtless it is receiving ac-
cretions from the late besiegers Of
Ladysmith, and from other points.
Whatever the force may be, Lord Rob-
erts has ample troops to cope with it.
As heavy rain is falling on the veldt,
and the grass is improving, this will be
a good thing temporarily for the Beers.

FOREST FIRE RAGING.

The Southern Portion OF the Lewis and
Clarke Forest Reserve ON Fire.
Forest Supervisor w. J. Bremen re-
ceived word Saturday evening that the
southern part of the Lewis and Clarke
forest reserve was on fire and that it was
raging fiercely. He Immediately tele-
graphed Superintendent Collins of Mis-
soula and was informed by return wire
that he must go to the scene of the fire
Immediately. He accordingly started
Saturday night and will not return until
the fire is extinguished. This should be
a warning to all who go into the forests
and they should be very careful to ex-
tinguish their camp fires completely be
fore leaving them, for if they do not a
great amount of fine timber will soon be
consumed and the forest lands be made
barren. Millions of feet of fine timber
will undoubtedly be consumed before
the fire can possibly be extinguished
Mr.. Bremen is great fire fighter and
he will have the privilege of hiring all
the help he needs in putting out the
confagration.
LATER-Having succeeded in extin-
gushing the fire Mr.. Bremen has re-
turned.

Kalispell is getting to be beautiful
town of shade trees and nothing adds
more to the beauty of town. There is
one thing that the people who own lots
should do and that is to set out trees.
Do this whether you have houses built
upon the lots or not and when you are
ready to build you will have the trees
and will not have to wait for them to
grow before getting any benefits from
them. All should put out trees, especial
ly when they can be had so cheaply. Do
not only put out trees but keep those

having the low branches knocking your
hat off. This should not be the case and
it looks like neglect in not keeping these
trees trimmed.

Prescott Courier: Jim Chambers has on the dump of his Good Hope mine, which Is near the Jersey Lily road across Hassayampa creek, about eighty tons of ore which will plate si0 Der ton. Besides these 80 tons he has eight tons that will run about $500 per ton. The Good Hope has pro- duced several shipments of high grade ore, and the mine is said to look bet. ter than ever. Mir. c. has taken out nest of the present. shipment alone during the last six months-some s5O00 worth, which speaks volumes for the mine. Just over the ridge from the Chamber property is the Gold Leaf, belonging to E. P. Holiday and J. 1. Gardner, which has a fine showing of ore in the lowest workings. The pay streak is continuous and of good size for POO feet and ore still in breast of tunnel. In places the pay streak is four feet wide. An average sample of the face of the tunnel yield. ed BPS gold per ton.
