MYSTERY OF A LOST RING.
The Circ1et Got Around a Mouse's
Neck and StrangIed Him
to Death.

81 was told true fostering story the
other day which I believe has never
been in print, although such may be the
case, says a writer in the Boston Her
aid. A well-known society woman sud
denly missed valuable diamond ring
from her finger. It was ring she sci.
dom removed, but all that could be re-
membered about it was that she had
just washed her hands. Fearing it had
slipped off in the operation the plumb
er was quickly called in and all the
traps opened, with the faint hope of
finding the jewel, but without avail.
and sorrow reigned in the household.
for the diamond was not only in trinsic-
ally valuable, but a dearly priced
souvenir. Some time later the set bowl
in the bathroom had to be replaced, and
when it was removed, 10 and behold,
crowded in behind the water pipes was
the skeleton of mouse, and round the
skeletons thread of neck hung a dia-
mond ring. Identification was imme-
| date and the mystery quickly cleared
up by the poor little beast. He had
toasted on a box of bran which milady
kept to whiten her fair hands and into
which she undoubtedly dropped the
ring. Mousie, through vanity or acct
dent, slipped it over his head, but in
trying to escape with the loot he died a
felon's death.

A New Dress.

This office has this week pur-
chased a complete new dress of
type for the HERALD, but owing
to mistake by the foundry in
shipping it, only a part of it was
received in time for use in the
paper this issue. However next
week every vestige of the old
type will disappear and the HER
AID will go to its many readers
clad in the most beautiful garb
made, viz: point full face type.
The old type was 9 point, a larg-
er body, but almost exactly the
same face as the new. The HER
AID has always the best interests
of its readers in view and for this
reason a large faced type was
selected so as to be easily read,
and a smaller body was chosen
in order that the greatest amount
of news matter may be contained
in a given space. For some time
the greatest handicap to a neat
and handsome appearance of the
HERALD has been the worn con-
dition of the old type, but from
this time forward it will be not
only the newsiest and best, but
also the handsomest paper in the
county. It is our intention to in
crease the correspondence and
other news features of the paper
and no pains will be spared to
make the year 1901 the best in
the history of the paper.

T]The Water Question:

AS soon as the work of repair
ing the city water works dam on
Deer Creek was finished the good
citizens of the city began to con-
slider the matter of digging a
good we'll so as to complete the
work begun and thus far carried
out. Last evening a meeting was
called by Mayor Cummings to dis
cuss the matter and if possible to
arrive at some definite plan for
completing the work.
The meeting was organized by
e1ecting ex-senator Granger for
chairman and r. Frank Stinson
secretary. After a quite thor
ough discussion of ways and
means it was decided that the
best plan would be for the citi-
zens to pledge themselves to ad-
vance the money necessary to dig
the we'll and put in the engines,
about So, 10000, and take the city
warrants at their face for the
amounts subscribed. On motion
the following committee was ap-
pointed to see the business men
and take their subscriptions:
Theo. Smith, w. M. Hardman,
C. A. Lewis, R. F.. Stinson and
]. Q. Royce. These gentlemen
began the work upon the adj
iournment of the meeting, and
have continued it UP to the
time we go to press. The
subscribers will meet this after
noon and formulate plan and
appoint committees to assist the
council IN pushing the work.
The following persons agree to
take the amounts following their
names: First Natl Bank, $500;
Theo. Smith & Son, Central
Lumber Co., Geo. James & Co.,
w. M. Che1f, 5000 each; c. A.
Lewis, Frank Stinson, Page &
Son, J. Q. Royce, H: c. Bickford,

pairing the tank and work already

A Dogs PERSISTENCE.
Wonderful Determination of a Hunt
ing Dog That freed a Bear
in California.

The mysterious disappearance of two
valuable hounds owned by A. w. Combs,
of Oakland, has been explained, and
the story behind it proves one of the
most remarkable cases of canine faith
fulness and determination ever record
ed. Combs was one of party of hunt
ers who returned few days ago from
weeks hunting trip in the mountains
back of Crescent City, Del Norte coun-
ty, says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The party had taken along four
hounds, which were missed during the
first night in the mountains. They had
evidently strayed away during the
night and for the following four days
the hunters were without their com
panions. On the fourth day, however,
two of the hounds returned to camp
the two belonging to Combs being final
ly given up for lost or stolen. When
the hunters were ready to start for
home they informed Superior Judge
Cutler of the mysterious disappearance
of the two hounds and requested him to
advertise a reward for their return in
his name.
One day subsequently Mr.. Combs re-
ceived letter from Judge Cutler con-
veying the happy news that the hounds
had been recovered. Judge Cutler
writes that they were found in the
mountains several miles from where
the Oaklanders had been hunting by
miner, who had heard them barking for
several days. The miner had gone to
investigate and found two hounds hold
ing the fort at the base of a large tree,
into which a bear had climbed for
safety from their attack This was
nine days after they had been missed
from the hunters camp, and for sew
eral days they had remained on watch
at this particular tree. They were com
pletely exhausted and very nearly
starved to death, as was also the bear,
which the miner killed.
