CALAMITY JANE IN TROUBLE.
Imbibes Too Much Redeye and Parts
With the Family Jewels.

1T was believed in Livingston Mon.
day that Calamity Jane of Beadle
dime novel fame. would soon deliver
a lecture on the evils of drink and at
~tractive jewelry," said a man from
Livingston last week. Richard Lee
was brought into Livingston from
Gardiner charged with stealing q ring
from Calamity
1T was said that Calamity had not
taken time to gaze upon the wine
when 1t was red. Instead OF gazing
she had partaken Of the liquor and
with such enthusiasm that 1t wasn't
long before Calamity had a wild de-
sire to sleep. Calamity has the rep
utation Of always doing that which
she elects to do, 30 she slept.
while Calamity slept and dream
ed of Indians and wild men and hair
breadth escapes and leathern clothes
1t Is alleged that Mr.. Lee came into
her chamber and. observing a gold
ring on her finger, did then and there
abstract the said gold ring.
However. Calamity soon came
to- as they say in Gardiner, and miss
ing her ring, was informed that Mr..
Lee had 1t and was then In Livingston
charged with its theft. Then did
Calamity proceed to Livingston and
declare that she had given the ring
to Mr.. Lee as a slight testimonial OF
the high esteem in which she held
him. The county attorney dismissed
the case.
II am reminded that recently 'Calam.
ity Jane vas taken east to a perfect
lady, but she didn't herd well. She
wanted to be out where her drinks
were more regular. II was the fond
hope In Livingston that the theft OF
her sole piece of jewelry during her

into an ardent worker in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. How
ever, her actions demonstrate that
Calamity isn't ready for the anti.
liquor crusade. except personally, to
create a panic in the visible supply"

Cyanide Ore Discoveries.

Several important discoveries of
cyaniding ore have been made lately
In the foothills of the Belt mountains
on the Upper Judith and in the brakes
of Sage creek. Breathitt Gray is de-
veloping a promising property on Up
per Sage creek. while in the foothills
between Sage and Willow creeks
Luckett Bros. have encountered strong
indications of the presence of cyan
ide ore in large quantities. The sur
face formation is somewhat looser
than in the North Moccasin district,
but the nature OF the ore is practi-
cally the same. The values, so far,
are small, but that is no indication.
as nothing but a small amount of sur.
face work has been accomplished.
John j.. Billiard, who vas In town
last week, informs us that he and his
wife. Louisa Bullard, have granted to
Frank j. Hazen, of the Great Northern
Mining & Development Co, of Gilt
Edge. a bond for $4,000 upon their
mining property adjoining the Barnes.
King group in the North Moccasn.
The bond Is to run eighteen months.
during which time development work
to the amount of $4,000 is to be per.
formed. A small amount was paid
down. $1,000 is due in six months,
$4,000 in one year and the balance
of 324.750 at expiration. Mr.. Billiard
purchased the claim Is a ranch prop.
erty, 1t having been patented several
years ago, but since the mines have
been developed in that region valuable
deposits have been found on the
ranch, as well as a very much desir-
cd water right. A very cheap and not
over promising ranch is likely to
prove a bonanza to Mr.. Billiard.

Old Camp of Yogo.

With the coming of summer the
old quartz camp of Yogo, as well as
the sapphire district. has taken on Il
busy air and many prospectors and
mine owners are making preparations
for the seasons work. Nels Jensen,
the owner of the Jensen group, came
down from the mountains last week
in order to get supplies. He mention
ed that Iangdon & Trimmer has
been working on a promising copper
property at the head of Boulder
gulch this spring with gratifying re-
sults. while considerable work had
been accomplished on the Blue Dick
now owned by Paris Gibson and ].
II. Cslderhead, and the property was
being well developed under the able
direction of Jack Leslie. The Jensen

LYONS NO MATCH FOR FLOOD.
The Congressman Had a WaIk-Ove,
at West appomntto1.

WEST APPONlATTOx. October o.
(Special)-The second discussion between
Congressman Flood and Colonel Lyons,
congressional candidates in the Tenth
District, took place here to-day. It was
County Court day, and large crowd
greeted the speakers. The contest was
an unequal one Colonel Lyons, having
been so recently nominated, was not
thoroughly posted on the phases of the
campaign, and had so few political SYM
pathizers in the audience that it was an
uphill business with him. Mr.. Flood, on
the contrary, was in fine feather, fully
equipped, and, like McGregor on his native
heath, was cheered on by an audience of
enthusiastic admirers.
Colonel Lyons opened in somewhat
desultory speech. making no pungent
points. He criticised the Democrats for
violating their pledge to submit the Con-
stitution. but gave Mr.. Flood the credit
Of keeping that pledge III his course in
the convention. He declared that the
Acknowledgement of the negro was an
excellent thing for the Republican party
in Virginia.
Mr.. Flood replied that this declaration
showed that the hitherto alliance of the
Republicans with the negroes was an
unblushing hypocrisy, since. having fell
lowshipped with these ignorant, deluded,
creatures as long as they could use them.
they now selfishly throw them off like a
squeezed lemon.
Lyons claimed that the general prosper
ity of the country was due to Republican
policies and supremacy. Flood re-
Piled that while there was prosperity
and money, the money was in the hands
of a few, and not of the people a large.
and that the apparent prosperity was di-
verted from the masses to the upbuildinS
of the trusts and the reign Of the money
bags and robber barons. He dwelt upon
the oppressive operation of the Republi-
can protective tariff.
Colonel Lyons is polished, courteous
gentleman and a fluent speaker, and.
while not match for Mr.. Flood in de-
bate, acquitted himself as creditabiy,
perhaI-, as his friends could expect I'M
der the circumstances. MIR. Flood gave
unbounded satisfaction to his friends.
who constituted more than nine tenths of
the audience.

Officially the State of Virginia VIII
feel the effects of the coal strike during
the coming winter. Mr.. John W. Rich
ardson, who is charged with the duty OF
providing fuel for the heating OF the
State buildings, is a busy man.
The State Library has about enough on
hand to last for two months. and efforts
are being made to add to the stock Of
coal already on hand.
The Capitol has coal enough to last for
about a month, and unless more is secur-
ed within the next month the Genera!
Assembly will have cold reception when
it assemblies here next month.
The Governors Mansion has enough
fuel on hand to last until nearly Christ
mas, but when that is gone there will be
some hustling to provide fuel for the
Governor.
Mr.. Casey, chief clerk for Mr.. Richard
son, said yesterday that coal for the
General Assembly woul- be obtained from
some source or other" There would
be plenty o. coal on hand to keep the
members from suffering, regardless Of
costs. Colonel Richardson is hustlins to
get all the coal that is needed.
While there seems little OF encourage
ment in the aspect of the coal situation.
local dealers appear to consider the
gloomy forecasts made earlier in the week
unlikely to materialize. While there Is
practically no anthracite here. soft coal
continues to dribble into the city. The
Passenger and Power Company has sue
ceeded in securing supply anu two car
loads were obtained by the gas works
yesterday, SO that there is no lnm ediate
danger Of the light or power supply be-
ing cut off. The State penitentiary and
the Fire Department are reported sup
piled for present needs.
It Is said that the city contracted early
last spring with S. H. Cottrell & Co.. for
several hundred tons of anthracite. Yes
terday word was sent to Mr.. Cottrell to
deliver a few tons of this. but Mr.. Cot
trell didn't, for the excellent reason that
he had none to deliver.
Hard coal is now being quoted here at
s12 per ton, which is considerably cheap
er than the price in northern cities, but
it is merely nominal quotation as there
is little anthracte to be had at any
figure Splint is selling at IS and steam
at $3.50 Pine wood is quoted at $3.50 and
81 per cord and oak at S. Even the re-
fuse from the Cedar Works is bringing 81

Henry Campbell, Near baltimore,
Commits Suicide.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., October 9.-(spe-
cial)-A special from Rutherfoordton. N
c., says:
Henry Campbell. a prominent and we'll
to-do planter living near baltimore, 10
miles from here, committed suicide yes
terday at his barn by sending a bullet
through his heart. Family trouble is said
to have been the cause Of the act. Seve-
raj times during the week Campbell had
attempted to take his life by throwing
himself in a well, but each time he was
prevented by one of the family.
Yesterday morning he told his wife and
children he was going to blow his brains
out, asking his wife to go with him to
the barn and see it well done. He then
re1na rked to his wife:
81 expect you had better not go, be-
cause I would blow your lights out first"
Campbell was G. years old and has
wife and several children.
