Miles Will R etIre.
Louis.

Washington, Feb. There is a story
ahoat among army officers that Adit.
Gen. Corbin is to become lieutenant gen
eral and be placed in command of the
army before the next meeting of con-
gress. According to this report Gen,
Miles has agseed to retire as soon IS he
is eligible. Under the general law he
can ask for retirement Aug. of this
year, but he cannot be retired by the
president against his will until two years
later
The story is that Miles has promised
to retire next August . his own accord.
Thereupon Gen. Brooke will be made
lieutenant general, and as he is already
eligible for retirement he will ask for it.
The same course will be pursued by Maj.
Gen. Otis. This will enable the presi-
dent to ill the place OF lieutenant gen
cTal three times in rapid succession
creating ehree vacancies in the list oi
general officers. Thereupon Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, who is now a major general
ranking next to Otis, will be eligible foi
the supreme command.

raised his head to see where he was, and
to learn what was going on, when 10, and
behold, he was sitting on the very edge
OF perpendicular wall several hundred
feet high with his feet dangling in the
open air over the cliff You can we'll
imagine his position. 1t seems as though
there was low place in the snow, and
then it was trifle up grade to the edge Of
the cliff. His speed had been Just swift
enough to place him quite comfortably
in this une pected position. His clothes
were torn almost off; bruises were to
numerous to count; his gun was left in
the snow behind, bat Billy still lives to
tell the tale.
Last winter hunter left his cabin on
the shore OF S.. Mary's lake, bade his
friends good bye, and at the time told
them that he should not return till he
had meat. He went into the hills, was
gone several weeks and no one heard or
saw anything Of him. Fnally a month
elapsed, then two, three and so on and
still no word from him. By this time his
friends were uneasy about him. Every
one thought that he had met with some
misfortune, and so he had. He never
returned to camp His body was found
last spring buried in the snow at the foot
of Flat Top ~ mountain. ana on ex1mina
tion it was discovered That almost every
bone in his body hal bsen broken. 1t
appeared as though he had ventured too
far out out on the snow oVerhanging the
brow which had broken off, aud down he
went far, far, below only to be mangled
amongst the rocks that awaited him. He
was buried where he was found, lin the
hills wnere he loved to roam.)

p asses there il every prospect of Cannon
spending the remainder of his life in Jail
for his decision to resist the order of the
court seems to be the one intense deter
mination OF his life. About Six years
ago Cannon was defendant in court in
an eiectment suit with one of his rela-
tives named Riets. Cannon lost, and
was directed to transfer the property
which was in his name to Riets. He re-
fused, and hence his committal for cor
tempt. The case has attracted wide
spread attention, being almost unparal
leled. He has been out of Jail once since
he was committed, the court mercifully
allowing him to attend the funeral of
near relative.

Narrow Escapes in the Swift Cur
rent District.

Prospecting and hunting in the vicini
ty OF Swift Current is risky pastime
One man lost his life apd several Others
have had miraculous escapes. The first
hair breadth escape that l recall to
memory, and which seems almost mir
acle is as follows: A young man well
known in this section of the country was
up in the Iceberg lake district for tie
purpose of enjoying camp life, and
taking snap shots of various animals
whenever the opportunity presented
itself. On this occasion it had been
showing for several days and the ground
was buried under three feet OF snow,
which was quite deceiying The old
snow which remains in the gulches the
the year round becomes very hard ani
slippery, so with this fresh fall snow it
was very dangerous to set foot on.
Well, on this occasion Joe was going
to foot it from Iceberg lake to camp,
distance of about II miles by trail. He
was fairly started, when he came to the
gulch where the Bulls Head cuts
through Mt. Wilbur, and which is filled
with snow the year round. Joe put his
. feet on the snow and started to descend
He had gone but a short distance when
his feet went from uLder him as il by
magic, away he went, gun, kodak and
Joe each endeavoring to see which could
reach Che bottom first. He was now
sliding at terrible rate, apparently into
the very Jaws of dean, wnon suddenly
he noticed two large holes in the snow a
short piece ahead. What must he do?
What could he do? He knew that if he
continue to side to the bottom it would
mean instant death, for there was a
precipice and once over it, all would be
of The mind WORKS very rapidly in
such instances, and mis- was not an eX-
ceptiou. He seized his gun in both
hands firmly, steered himself for the
largest hols, strucG it and knew no more
When he regaineI consciousness be
found himself lying in d small stream ol
ice cold water. lie wondered what had

President e. I. Gait, of the Great Falls

Montreal
President Gait was interviewed by a
Leader reporter last evening regarding
the following notice which has been run
ming in the Lethbridge News for the
past few weeks:
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-02-14
THE NOTICE.

THE Alberta Railway and Coal com
pany will apply to the parliament of
Canada at its next session for an act
authorizing the company to lease Or to
sell its works, or any part thereof, to

pany, or 20 such other railway company,
if any, as as it may be authorized by the
parliament of Canada to take the same.
GEORGE EDWARDS"
Secretary of the Company"
NEWS TO MIR. GAIT.
"The papers have been printing, lot
of railroad news that is news to me-"
said President Calf, when asked about
the proposed leasing of the marrow
gauge" to the Canadian Pacific.
"Is there any truth in the story?"
asked the reporter.
President Gait smiled aud replied,
"Oh, yes: we have applied to the Can
adian parliament for the right to lease
or sell our road, but I do not know any
thing about its being leased to the
Canadian Pacific"
"Will the narrow guage be broadened
to Standard guage this coming sum
mer?"
WILL BROADEN THE GUAGE.
"Oh, yes, I suppose 50, but we viii not
be able to begin for two months yet.
Yes, have recently returned fromsa trip
to Montreal and London, England, where
| conferred with the stockholders OF the
company, and l will leave tomorrow
morning for Montreal. 1t will depend
upon circumstances, but we will prob
ably extend the present branch of oul
road, running from Sterling towart
Cardston this coming summer. That
branch will probably also be broadened
! to standard guage."
"We have applied for the clause allow
ing US to lease the road because, through
an oversight it was left out OF our origi
nal charter. have no doubt but thai
it will be acted upon favorably. ."-Grea

Delaware History.

It is the wish of the Librarian of
Delaware College to add as rapidly
as possible to the Local History
Department of the Library, and
friends of the College are urged to
aid in the work of improving this
department. Much of the local
history of Delaware and the Pen
insula has been published in the
form of sermons, addresses, biogra-
phical sketches,and memorial pam
phlets of various kinds. Such pub
locations are often lost sight of
shortly after the occasion that be-
gets them, and are rarely to be
bought of any bookseller, yet they
sometimes contain valuable histor-
ical data not easily found else
where.
Any friend of the College who
has such publications that he is
willing to give away can do a real
service to the institution by send
ing them to the Librarian of Della
ware College at Newark.
There are other and even rarer
publications that would be very
welcome additions to the Library
such for example, as Ferris History
of Wilmington, now to be had only
of dealers in second hand books
Pictures illustrative of Delaware
and Peninsular History will also
be very welcome gifts to the Ii
brary.
1t is the wish of the Librarian t.
make the Department of Local His
tory a really valuable one, such a
may be of use not only to the stu
dents of the College, but to any on
investigating the history of Della
ware or the Peninsula.
