The Man Who Pulled the Nose.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In The Star last Saturday Mr.. Andrew
Jackson Goddard. through his anonymous
confrere, Is reported to have expressed the
idea that 1t took a lunatic like Randolph
to dare lay hold IF Andrew Jackson's "Cy-
rano proboscis." Permit me to ask Mr.
Andrew Jackson Goddard, through The
Star, IL he has forgotten the time he was
in business tdry goods on 7th street north
west, and had among his good customers
the family Of Lieut.. Randolph, who lived
near his store Lieut.. Randolph was not
thought by Mr.. Goddard to manifest any
tendency to @pnacy at that time, and was
always treated politely by that gentleman,
whose store was a favorite resort for Lieut..
Randolph, and President Andrew Jackson's 9
nose (which was then not known as "Cy-
rano proboscis." but as a very ordinary oil
factory organ) was discussed ad libitum.
Jackson's nose was indeed most effectually
twisted. and 1t required a man with great
grievance, man under great provocation.
bent on resenting a great insult, to succeed
SO well land no one but an Anticipated man
or person desiring to belittle Lieut.. Ran
dolph would suggest the possibility of an
irresponsible person accomplishing the feat.
And, moreover, this government is not in
the habit of employing lunatics to fight
their great battles After the occurrence
there was published song commemorative
of the event, and the chorus was, "Oh! our
noses, our bruised and bloated noses" Mr.
Andrew Jackson Goddard, retired mer-
chant" may now have different views on
this subject, but there are persons living
who knew Lieut.. Randolph until his death
at the age of seventy-eight. who can bear
witness that to the last he was a fine
specimen of manhood, mentally as we'll as
physically. 1t is just as well for Mr.. A. J.
Goddard and his confrere (whoever he is)
not to let their admiration for Andrew
Jacksons "Cyrano proboscis," and his pro-
family also. overweight the great regard
they ought to have for Justice and truth.

Low Rntes to Alaska.

Seattle, April 2S,-The dissolution of the
combine of transportation companies doing
business between Seattle and southeastern
Alaska, which was announced recently,
has led to an open war in passenger and
freight rates. The slash has already gone
half way into the rates fixed by the de-
funct organization, and the companies are
lined up for a war that may continue all
summer.
Two companies have announced the pas
senger rate of S. from Seattle to Skagway.
Other concerns are down to $40 and $l2.
The association rate was SIC.
A proportonate cut has been made in
rates for freight and live stock rates are
down from $50 to $3.50 head. Unless a
compromise is meanwhile effected, of
which transportation men have no hope,
the rates will reach still lower points
with the opening of navigation on the
Yukon next month.

For the last three days the sandhills

lightning set fire to the range in several
places. AT first it got under Roadway in
Spring and Blackboard valleys, and with
heavy southwest wind the fire was driven
to the Burlington road, three miles east of

miles in a westerly course ard has not

the flames
A district of about 100 miles in length
and 40 miles in width has been swept
of prairie grass that for a month to
come would serve as the only food for
cattle. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage that has been done 1t is
thought that a heavy loss of stock will
be the consequence.

his bank account at the State Bank &
Trust company of this city had been at

The attachment grew out of the trouble a
few weeks ago, when General Clay, with a

TO White Hall to secure some household
goods belonging to Mrs Clay
Despairing of obtaining the goods with
out serious trouble, Attorney Clay decided
to let him keep them, but sued out an at

Constable Anderson was commissioned
to serve the notice, and after several hours
of patient watching he stealthily crept up
to the generals guarded castle and slip
ped the important document under his
door The officer did not tarry to note
what transpired, but as he fled from the
premises he heard the generals alarm bell
calling for his armed retainers.

An unIucky Train.

Cut Bank, Mont, April 2S.--When En-.

out of Kalispell on No. IL, Great North.
ern eastbound fast freight, he had hoodoo
somewhere aboard his engine, for he had
as unlucky a trip as usually falls to the
lot of one train.
Passing down the hill three miles east
of Columbia Falls the engineer saw a
man lying alongside the track with his
head on the rail. He reversed his engine
and applied the air brake, but the mo-
mentum of the train was SO great that
he was unable to stop in time. The pilot
of the engine struck the man on the
head, knocking him to one side. 1t was
found that he had been struck by some
train earlier in the evening and had both
his feet cut off. The loss of blood and
subsequent injuries no doubt will prove
fatal. His name is unknown. An empty
whisky bottle found IN his clothes told
the story of how he came there
Three miles east of Java the train
struck broken rail, derailing eight cars
and breaking them up badly. Two
tramps, names unknown, who were steal
ing a ride in a ear of lumber, were prob
ably fatally injured.
When the train arrived in Cut Bank,
Antoine Anderson, a car inspector, who
was inspecting the train, stepped onto
the passing track next to the train The
engine, which had been detached from
the train, was backing down this track
and struck Anderson, knocking him
down and passing diagonally across his
body, killing him almost instantly.
Anderson was the son in law of a
wealthy cattleman here, and leaves wife
and one child.
