added full charge Of large shot To the
weight of one of the brothers, caus-
ing death almost instantly.
When the interest in the death of
Siegel had died down, says the Chicago
Tribune, Haas led his bride to the
altar and continued business at the
old stand, not caring to go away on
honeymoon trip. His business pros
pered and everything went along
smoothly until one night as he was
going home from the store he was
shot dead from ambush, the bullet
fired by the unseen foe entering the
heart. The finger of suspicion, as it
IL sometimes called, was pointed at
the surviving Siegel, but when he
asked the men of Cortez to proclaim
publicly that they thought he was the
man, not one of them opened his
mouth. This particular Siegel was
the best shot in several counties.

end of II all was that he married her.
He, like his brother William, lived hap

There was still another Haas broth

IT became his duty to go west and look

was more or less reluctant, but he did

didn't. The widow was not so young

WILD LANDS HERE AND ELSE.
WHERE IN THE STATE.

While the returns made by tho
assessment rolls of Hancock coun.
", after having gone through the
revision process of the Board of
Supervisors, shows well for the
material advancement aud pros
-perlty OF the county, the total as
sessment of wild lands falls short
from what there is reason for it
to show up.
The wild lands or timbered
lands of Hancock county are a.
along the best values and that on
these the least taxes should be
paid calls forth criticism. Unlike
this county, the Boards of Super
YlsorS OF the several counties in
the Delta section of the State have
made heavy increases in the vaIo-
allon OF wild lands, and it is be-
lleyed that the action of the
boards of these counties Will re-
suit in the development of these
tracts. The vast bulk of the wild
lands In the Delta are owned by
spectators who have been hold
ing them for several years in an
uclpatlon of heavy advances in
price. The advances have been
realized, but the owners have not
peen giving in their holdings to

surate with the starus Of the real

this District. we take the follow
ling from the Biloxi Herald, ap,
Iptaring in that journal prior to

"Few men have made ns rapid
strides toward the zenith Of pow.
or in the balls Of Congress as has
Mr.. McLain. and the people OF
the Seventh will not only honor
man who is in every respect
worthy of their suffrage by re.
turning Nj. McLain to Congress,
but viii thereby win recognition
for their district such as few men
can bring to it.
"llis werk since he took his
seat in the House of Representa-
tiye@ is indisputabIe evidence that
he = ever a.ert to every interest
of his constituency and that he al
all times sleeps upon his arms, 81

their rights ut the first alarm, and
that the word surrender is &
stranger 10 his official vocabulary
He has and may again meet with
temporary repulse, but he always
rallies and comes afresh to battle
with determination that always
vouchsafes victory under the most
trying ordeals. This is the kind
OF men every district in Mississip.
pi should be represented by ii
Congress, and when his present
term ends, it will be no ordinar,
regret that the coast counties viii
part with him. But the Sixth's
loss is the Seventh's gain, if the
suffragans of that district can but
see their best interest.
The few years that Mr.. Nc.
Lain has won for himself an en-.
viable name among the reprcsen
tatiyes of the other States, as a
statesman is of no mean merit. He
rs regarded by members of both
parties as one of high ability and
powerful intuition, and hence has
the respect and the assistance OF
the members Of both political par
ties in any measure he may bring
before the House. Everyone who
has the welfare of his district and
State at heart will readily recog-
nize of what great advantage such
a condition is to a member of con-
gress.'

years. has had two romances. both
stained with blood, and her third may
be bloodless--if the prospective bride
and groom get away in time. Jane

Haas brothers. She had previously
married the other two, but death in
tervened and she became twice wild
ow. The third Haas seems TO have no
fear, but all the good shots In Monte
yuma county are not dead yet and
there ~ no telling what may happen.
Twice married and widowed, Mrs..
Haas is soon to become bride for the
third time. and is willing to run all
risks.
Thirty years ago William Haas was
a prosperous young merchant at
Mount Gilead, o., but the balm In that
Gilead was not sufficient to satisfy
the yearnings of his soul for greater
wealth, so he removed his goods and
other belongings to Cortez, Neb., and
set up trading house.
The belle OF Cortez when Haas first
made his appearance was Jane Segur,
and she was as pretty az a maiden
dared be.
Two brothers by the name Of Siegel
were particularly attentive to Jane,
and they gave II out that the man who
married Jane had better make his will
before the marriage ceremony was
performed. Now 1t happened that
little Jane had fallen in love with Will
liam Haas, aud accepted his offer of
heart and hand. When the Siegels
heard Of 1t they became more than
ordinarily strenuous. They talked TO

THE result of the democratic pri-

Moore faction out entirely. Avery
c. Moore, who aspired to the con-
gressional nomination, will not be
represented on the delegation to the
state convention. That leaves him
hopelessly out Of the race and
makes James K. Sovereign the only
active candidate from the north seek
ing the nomination. Mr.. Moore
is a bright young man and were he
more level headed, might become
one of the leading politicians Of
the state, with age and experience.

Young BRAVES CONTROL

There is every evidence that
the faction in the republican party,
known as the young element, had
full control OF the county cOnven-
ton al Standpoint. The old veter-
ans who have borne the brunt of
many a hard fought battle for their
party were given no quarter BY the
young braves, who seemed anxious
to show their prowess, with little re-
gard for the final result The
young blood was hot-it dubbed
Overland the old republicans were
prodded into the corner without
mercy. Hon. Willis Sweet, who
so ably represented the state in con
gress and IS one OF its intellectual
giants, was trampled under foot TO
make room for pigmy who desir-
ed vindication. Not satisfied with
this, the Kootenai Herald proceeds
to rub salt and vinegar into the
wounds OF the old warriors BY
showing how little they cared
for ability or fitness in making
the nomination In its report of
the convention il tries 10 make
Mr.. Yost popular al the expense
of Mr.. Sweet. We quote its in
dividous comparisons as follows:
The two most serious problems
before the delegates were the selec-
ton Of candidates for senator and
sheriff. For the former place Ex-
Congressman Willis Sweet and Edi-
tor John F. Yost were aspirants.
The fact that Mr., Sweets friends
were beaten al the primaries in
CEur d Alene, his home precinct,
and that he was opposed BY his
home delegation, gave him little
strength in the convention. His
nomination was strongly urged BY
Harrison delegates led by A. A.
Crane, but a poll of delegates
showed ~ for Yost, which number
was swelled to So BY later arrivals.
Mr.. Sweets name was not present
ed to the convention and Mr.. Yost
was nominated BY reclamation.
For the nomination for sheriff
the situation was quite different.
Sheffield, of Rathdrum, and Whit
ney, of Boomers Ferry, both came TO
the convention backed by their
home delegations, and other friends
in the convention.
We are not particularly interested
in the methods employed by our
republican friends and if the young
braves blunder in the impulsive ex-
uberance Of their youth, they may
learn better with experience and
the cooler deliberation Of age; but
that will not help them this time.
They have ripped the wounds OF
the old republicans so deep that no
amount of ointment will heal them
before November.
