BOWEN HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Ill Feeling Between Families Winds
Up in Courts

HaygoOd Bowen was required yesterday by
Justice Fuller to give bond OF 800 for his
appearance before the next grand jury to an
swer TO a charge OF assault and battery. The
prosecutor in the case, which was tried before
Justice Fuller, was Wood Cloud.
Both young men live on the Red Bridge
Road and the evidence showed that there was
some Ill feeling between the members of the
two families to which the young men be-
longed. The two young men were drawn into
a quarrel from which grew two court cases.
Cloud was charged with using abusive language
in the presence OF females and Bowen was
charged with assault and battery.
Justice Fuller did not deem the evidence in
the case OF Cloud sufficiently strong to hold
him and he was allowed to go. The evidence

SHAW AND THE
CIVIL SERVICE
What the Secretary Says About the
Five Years Term
Story.

Washington. July 23-The following
statement was made public at the Of
flee of the secretary of the treasury
yesterday: Numerous inquiries have
been received of the alleged assertion
of Secretary Shaw that he was in ia
Vor of Il five-year limit for service in
the treasury department. The original
newspaper article, and those that fol
lowed il stating that the secretary be-
lieved a departmental emplOye lost his
usefulness after five years in govern
ment work was so ridiculously i'm
probable that they We're never dignihed
by denial That great many peo-
lie have taken these articles seriously
has been demonstrated by the number
of inquiries, not only from Washing
ton bat from all oyer the country.
ITO avoid any further miscOnception
of the facts in the case il may be an
no-nced on absolute authority that no
such remark or expression was ever
made by Secretary Shaw, and that the
articles purporting to represent his at
titude as n headsman are made out of
whole cloth. On the contrary, 1t may
be said with equal authority that Sec
retary Shaw is heartily in accord with
civil service in every respect"

TOOK EN- IN ALL RIGHT
BUT DID NOT GET AWAY

Upton. Ind, July 23.-A stranger
drove into Upton Saturday night with
a covered wagon. which was loaded
with cigars. He represented that he
had G0.OOO of ''eXtra-gTade 10-cent
gooAs." which he was closing out so
that they could be retailed at cents.
He explained that he had been in the
business, and had become embarrassed,
but had obtained an order of court to
sell the goods ard make an effort to
pay creditors. He passed around sam
pie cigars which were good. taking
them from n box which he offered for
sale. and managed to. dispose of sew
eral thousand cigars here.
After he had left town it was dis
covered that his cigars were of the
vilest sort, ard probably worth Sc or
81 per thousand. Upton merchants
who paid $50 a thousand for them
went after him and made him dis
gorge, and he was allowed to go on
his way. Later in the evening tele-
grams began to arrive from surround
ing towns. and n merchant at Farm
dale said he would pay a reward of
500 for the arrest of the swindler.
Officer Haley arrested him about ten
miles from Tipton, and he is now in

The Angler Fish.

A fishing smack had lately strange
catch off the Eddystone lighthouse. 1t
was an enormous specimen of that rare
and curious sea monster the angler
fish. 1t measured feet 3 inches long
and feet inches broad. The ca
pacity of these fish for deyouring
large quantities of food is something
marvellous, but the peculiar thing is
that they change the usual order Of
things, for instead of the bird catching
the fish, in this instance the fish
catches the bird and makes a meal OF
him. GuiIlemots. seagulls and ducks
have been discovered in the stomacbs
of these gluttons of the deep.

HOW THE MONEY WAS OBTAINED
And How Flood and O'Brien Came TO Get
Into the Deal.


Fair fell in with the proposition
and hurried to San Francisco to see
if he could raise the money. On Cali
fOrnia street in San Francisco was an
elegant saloon run by Flood X O'Brien.
1t was Il resort for rich miners, and
thithpr Fair went. lie told his story
to Flood. 1t Glanced that about this
time Il miner had come into San Fran
cisco from up country with S4O,0G0 in
gold dust He asked Flood to direct
him to u safe place to deposit the
money, and Flood pointed to the great
safe in the saloon. You can put it i'll
there he said. The miner did so.
When Fair made the proposition To
Flood the latter went to the miner and
told him of the opportunity TO invest
his gold, but the offer was rejected.
The result was that Flood borrowed
$4,000 of the miner and turned it over
to Fair.
Il knew this miner well, but the
name has escaped me. The Virginia
City lawyer hustled back to the mines
and quietly bought up all of the claims
adjacent to the Mexican mine, with
the exception of one. which he could
not get. The deal was completed in
side of a week. Then Mackay resigned
his place as foreman of the Mexican
mine, and work was begun on what
became the Consolidated Virginia
mines. y tunnel was run straight
through the property. and then a cross
tunnel was dug. In three months the
stock of the mine was placed on the
public market 1t started at $40 a
share and quickly ran up to $500. In
six years time the mine paid in divi-
dendS S66. 6.000.000. and i'm ten years it
paid S110.000,000 in dividends. to say
nothing of the enormous increase in
the value of the stock and the profits
that were not withdrawn.
''Mackay lived in Virginia City
about ten years. During all that time
he WAS the underground manager of
the silver mine that had wrought such
a wonderful fortune for him. 1 was
living in Virginia City also, and / saw
Mackay often. He carried his dinner
bucket to the mines day by day. just
as the miners did. and as long as he
stayed in the town he was active in
the work of the mine. Mrs. Mackay
was very generous and went out of her
way to look up people who were I'M
fortunate. 1t was her habit to make
trips through the mining camps. look
ing for persons in trouble. and she
gave away thousands and thousands
of dollars in this way. without osten-
tation.
'.Mackay himself was generous, and
never turned away an applicant for as
sistance. but he did not go out look
ing for places to bestow his wealth. as
his wife did Finally Mrs. Mackay
grew tired of Virginia City and per
suaded her husband to go to New York.
Afterward they went to Paris to live.
and even when they were there
