Y0N Y0NS0N CATCHES A CRAB
Wades Out in His Bare Feet With Most
Uexpected Results to Crab and
Himself.

Yon Yonson. porter in one one of the
saloons on Arizona street. went fishing
up Deer Lodge river a short time ago,
returning back to the city today. He re-
lates an amusing tale of a catch made
the first day he reached the banks.
Yonson had with him pair of long
rubber boots. which he usually wore
when wading into the water. On the
instance in question, however, sharp
twig tore off half the sole from one of
them, and he decided to make 1t bare
foot. Accordingly he rolled up his trous-
ers and started into the water. He got
about 30 feet from the shore, threw out
a line and stood waiting for bite. He
got it.
An itinerant crab, happening to be
rowing about after an early morning
breakfast about this time, caught sight
of the fisherman's big toe, and conclud-
ed the search was ended. To it's crab
mind the toe seems to have appeared
a very tempting morsel. At any rate, it
sailed up to the great digit of one Of
Mr.. Yonsons feet, threw it's graphing
paraphernalia into the meatiest part and
made a good try to back off with it..
Right here is where the fun began.
Yonson had just hooked particularly

his feet comfortably upon the top of the
table when the trouble broke out. peace

He was awakened by the entrance of

forthwith to make it warm for the bar

with his work, he came back to Where
Matti.on was sitting. Probably warmed
up by his previous success. and desiring
to make his prowess felt further. Mattl-

and ordered him out of the place. The
latter failed to respond in the time limit
set by the now thoroughly Infatuated bar

COUNTY HOSPITAL CONTRACT
Commissioners Put the Bu1lding Work
in the Hands of Shackelton and
Wh1Ceway.

The work of building the new county
hospital is to begin at once. the contract
for the work having been let by the
county commissioners today to Shackle-
ton & Whiteway, building contractors.
The bid which carried off the plum was
$9,S63.
The contractors agree to build new
county hos. ital from the basement, in
Guiding walls, roof, sub-foors and parti-
tons. This is not the complete building,
but very substantial part of it.
The bid is regarded as very low by the
commissioners, and they are pleased with
it. There We're two other bids. One was
from w. E. Walsh, and was for $4,000;
the other was from Dolan & Hamill, and
was for 1897, just few dollars above
the bid that secured the contract
The bids opened today We're made upon
a modified plan for the hospital. The bids
rejected some time ago were much high
er, and were upon another plan, except
as to Shackleton & Waterways which
was the same as before.

Blu CUuNTERCLA!M ALLEGED
Man Sued For Three Thousand Dollars
Claims Plaintiff Owes Him
Two Thousand.

Some time ago Levi Cartier sued F. J..
Peletier for the sum of So, 200, alleged to
be due him as principal and interest on
a note made by the latter. Today Pelle-
tier filed his answer in the district court,
and in it he denies that he owes Cartier
anything and prays Judgment for a
counter claim amounting to $2.524.52.
The answer alleges that Pelletier made
the note named, but that Cartier agreed
to pay the note to Hoge, Brownlee & Co.
to whom 1t made payable. 1t says that
in consideration of the liquidation of the
note by Cartier. Pelletier assigned him
goods and chattels which he had used in
the butcher business, consisting of a
steam engine, choppers, kettles, lard
press. suffers, scales, steel safe, three
wagons. three horses, electric lights and
lamps and many other things.
These goods are alleged to have been
worth $1,000, and the answer says that
Pelletier assigned to Cartier book ac-
counts owing to him valued at 1892 SO,
in addition to the butchers goods. The
aggregate value of the property as
signed to Cartier is placed at S., 432 SO.
Besides this the answer says that Car
tier was given, to hold as security, stock
In the Butte Butchering company from
which he collected $500 in dividends,
which he never turned over to Pelleticr.
Pelletier claims that balance is due
him from the goods and accounts as
signed and the dividends collected on
the stock, amounting to the sum of he
asks judgment for, $2,524.52.
In the case the sheriff attached a lot
supposed to be the property of Pelletier

davit that this real estate belongs to

Kicked out vigorously with the foot on
which so unceremoniously had perched
the crab, and as he did so the other shot
from under him, and he fell sputter-
ing into the drink. He still, however,
hung on to his breakfast; so did the
crab.
For moment the water looked like
a boiling cauldron. Then, as the crab
frightened it's grip, he let the rod so, and
reaching down separated the little neck
from it's interrupted meal. Leaping to
his feet he barely had time to see his
rod shooting down the stream, like a
rocket let loose from hades.
Yonson swears that when he goes fish
ing again he'll take along dozen pairs
of boots and at least two rods. as he was
compelled to walk 10 miles to get an

Another class Of insects which form

The dried moths are used much like

The statistics Of manufactured prod

next, with 81, s,S4S,O 900, and Ger
many next, with S1.O5o, 611, 900. Thus
the United States has reached the COM
mercial supremacy Of the great ex-
porting nations Of the world. Twenty
fife years ago thtJ country stood
fourth in rank, the United Kingdom
being first, Germany second and
France third. The United States has
increased her exports during the last
25 years 1872 per cent, Germany q per
cent, the United Kingdom "a per cent
and France per cent.
The supremacy Of the United States
is due very largely to the enormous eX-
pansion OF manufacturing industry
during the last decade. Our manufac-
tured products now constitute about 30
per cent Of the total exports. In 1860
they were but 12.76 per cent. Through
our agricultural products we have been
feeding many countries. We are now
supplying them with both food and

United States Postal Law.

Before 1s45 the rates Of letter post
age In the United States varied with
the distance. Half an ounce was the
standard. In that year the rates were
fixed at 5 cents for distances not ex-
ceeding 300 miles, and 10 cents for
greater distances. In 1916 the rates
were fixed at and 10 cents, respect
lively. Then, in 1851 the maximum dis
lance for the smaller rate vas raised
to 5000 miles; and in 1853 a uniform
rate Of postage for the entire country
Of 8 cents was fixed. This lasted for
twenty years-untl October /, 1885

Of weight for cents was increased to
