Convict whipped to Death.

There was quite sensation
stirred up in Coahoma county over
the unmerciful treatment Of the con
yicts on Hon. J. w. Eldridge's place
at Hill House, the outcome Of which
John c. Hardy, sergeant in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Eldridge, has been in
dicted for murder for whipping one
Henry Young, convict, TO death.
The facts developed before the grand
jury seem to be that he whipped
Young, a county convict, who had
been sent TO Mr.. Eldridge, who Is
the lesse Of the conyicts, and while
there Hardy whipped him so unmer-
cifully that his back was mass
of sores from his head to his heels
and he became so debilitated that
Hardy turned him loose. He came
near Clarksdale and died few
weeks afterwards. The grand jury
has had number Of conyicts be-
fore them and made a personal ex-
animation Of their bodies and found
that Sergeant Hardy has whipped
them so often and 50 brutally that
they are in stripes all over their
bodies. Hardy is now in Jail at
Clarksdale awaiting trial and has
been refused bail. Public senti-
ment is very much wrought up at
the revelation. Hon. J. w. Ed
ridge, to his credit be 1t said, knew
nothing Of the affair.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL,

The coroner's jury in the case OF
VIM. Ennis, a sheepherder for J. II.
Daily, whose body was found April IA
in sheep wagan on Bloom creek,
with the top of his head blown off and
other wounds, decided it was a case
of suicide. All signs pointed to the
shots having been fired from the inside
! OF the wagon and there were no ndica-
tions of a struggle. The body was
found by Bradley Johnson who was
looking for some stock and came
across the wagon. The weapon used
was a 457O Marlin rife and was
clutched in the dead mans arms, the
butt toward the feet and the muzze1
toward the head.
If two is a couple there is a crowd
in the detention car ear east of town at
the present writing and indications are
that Rosebud county will receive it's
quota of smallpox patients before the
season is over. One victim of the pre-
Howard a week or SO ago and when
DR.. Wilson had released him and sup
posed his services in this line were
over, for while at least, he made the
appalling discovery of three more cases
at the same place. All the sick men
have been employed on the sections at
Howard and the disease evidently got
a fair start before the matter was re-
ported to the doctor.
Ephriam Davis, mayor of Hathaway,
Custer county. Montana, is transact
ing business in connection with the
suiline department of his extensive do
mains. Eph wanted to buy couple
of pigs or hogs. 1t is difficult to see
where he will get them. There were
only eight in the whole county last
year according to the veracious reports
returned to the assessor. One of these
was noticed lying dead in the river
just below the wagon bridge yesterday.
The butcher shops testify to having
bought seven so it looks as though the
trouble which befell the old ladv wi

Plus and Minus PeOplc.

We all know people who never add
anything to our fun, our information.
our happiness or our comfort. They
are always trying to get something,
from us without giving anything in
return. There are sponges that alb

When they leave us we have minus
feeling, consciousness of having lost
something. On the other hand, we
know people who always give more
than they take from us; they are re-

everything increases under their touch
for they are not trying to see how
much they can get, but. instead to give
us something.

The Capacity to ErjOy Life.

Nothing contributes more to the high
est success than the formation of a
habit of enjoying things. Whatever
your calling in life may be, whatever
mstortunes or hardships may come to
you, make up your mind resolutely
that, come what may, you will get the
most possible real enjoyment out of
every day; that you will increase your
capacity for enjoying life, by trying
to lind the sunny side of every exper-
fence of the day.
Resolutely determine that you will
see the humorous side of things. No
matter how hard or unyielding your
environment may be, there is a sunny
side If you can only see it.
The mirth provoking faculty, even
under trying circumstances is worth
more to a young man or woman start
ing out in life than fortune without
1t. Make up your mind to be an opti-
mist, that there shall be nothing of a
pesslmist about you, that you will
carry your own sunshine wherever
you go.
There is longevity in the sunny soul
that eases our jolts and makes our
sides shake with laughter,

Why Can't l DO 1t.

poor Scotch boy once conceived
the idea of learning Latin and Greek
while at work; so he procured few old
books and applied himself to them in
his leisure hours on the hills. He pro-
crossed so rapidly that many of the old
and superstitious people thought he
must be assisted by the "evil spirit. :"
One day he trudged into Edinburgh
barefoot, walked into book store.
and asked for a Greek Testament.
What are you going to do with it,"
asked the bookseller. "Read it" was
the prompt reply. Read it" ex-
claimed the skeptcal dealer, Eye may
take it for nothing, if We will read it. !"
The boy read few verses, translat-
ing them as he proceeded and was
permitted to carry the book home in
triumph. His name was John Brown
and he became distinguished clergy
man.
