The BuIIfghters' Grit.

The death of the famous Spanish
toreador Reverte recalls one of the
most thrilling incidents ever witnessed
in the arena. It was at Bayonne.
After disposing of two bulls Reverte
had twice plunged his sword into a
third, of great strength and ferocity,
and as the beast continued careering
wildly the spectators began to hiss Re-
verte for bupgling. Wounded to the
very quick of his pride, the Spaniard
shouted, The bull is SLANT" and,
throwing aside his sword. sank. on one
knee, with folded arms, in the middle
of the ring.
He was right, but he had not al
lowed for the margin of accident. The
wounded beast charged full upon him,
but the matador, splendid to the last.
knelt motionless as a statue, while the
bull literally bounded at him. and as
he sprang he sank in death, with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge Of
the head that drove a horn into the
thigh of the kneeling man and laid
bare the bone from the knee to the
joint. Still Reverte never flinched, but
remained kneeling, exultant in victory,
but calmly contemptuous of applause.

wound.-London Globe.

GRANVILLE MAKES GENERAL
DENIAL OF THE CHARGES
Defendant Says He Had Nothing to
Do With Dynamiting and Tells
Plausible Story

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 26.-In the
Isaac Gravelle case to-day the defen-
dant occupied the stand all day. His
direct examination lasted about three
hours, and when court adjourned he
was still under cross-examination
Gravelle denied having been at any of
the places where dynamite was eX-
ploded on the track, and said he was
never in Livingston, where the bridge
was injured, and gave a detailed ac-
count of his movements in August and
September, testifying that he was out
of town when the explosions took
place in the vicinity of Helena, about
$50 miles from the scene. He denied
writing or forwarding any threatening
letters, denied conversations with wit
nesses who have testified to Gravelle's
confessions, and also denied having
sent any threatening letters out of the
Jail On cross-examination he stuck
closely to his story, and he has so far
avoided contradicting himself. The
only point brought out by the State
in his examination is that he in his
numerous alleged trips in the north
ern part of the State did not meet nor
talk to any one who could substan-
tiate his story of a visit to that sec
ton.

BOY OUTLAWS
ARE CAPTURED
Exciting Chase in a Wild
Part of Washington for
Two Young Fugitive Bandits
PURSUIT FOR NINE MILES
Officers Put a Stop to the
Plunder of Cabins and Camps
of Sheepmen on the Range
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Dec 26.-
After a wild ride bareback over sage
brush and rocks in the rough Warm
Springs Canyon country, twenty-five
miles west. of here, Doc" McMinn and
Frank Smith, two boy outlaws, were
captured last night by Deputy Sheriff
Keys and Allen Burns, .Touchet cow
boy.
The youths, who are aged IS and IL,
respectively, were located in a home
steader's cabin in the Hudson Bay dis
trict, lonely, barren prairie section.
They sighted the officers, jumped on
treir horses and fed. The deputies were
in a buggy, and had to unhitch and
ride bareback for nine miles. Shots
failed to stop the boys until they were
cornered near the Walla WalIa River.
Even then they tried to separate and
escape.
For weeks McMinn, his brother and
Smith have been living a species
of outlaw existence in a cabin north
west of here, occupying themselves
plundering neighhAring cabins and
sheep camps. Tha escaped early in
the week from Prescott deputy. Then
Cecil McMinn was caught, and the Of
ficers had been trailing the others for
two days.

AMBER HIGHLY PRIZED
GEM OF THE ANCIENTS
An Interesting Talk by Expert on the
Marvels of FossiliZed
Resins.

A joint meeting of the department
of mineralOgy, Brooklyn Institute,
and the New York Neurological Club
was held recently at the Art building.
George z. Ashby, president of the de-
partment, led the conference on "Fos-
sill Resins" the subject set for the
evening. Professor D. S. Martin read
a paper on Geological Mineralogy,"
and DR.. Wallace Goold Levison, B. Sc,
led the discussion following, and ex-
hibited a method of showing the alb
Sorption bands of minerals in powder,
with the spectroscope. Mr.. Ashby
exhibited a comprehensive collection
of amber and other fossil resins, and
other members of the department also
brought choice specimens. Some of
those shown were fossil copal from
Zanzibar, Africa, sometimes called
gum animi," on account of the num-
erous insects it contained (this gum
is characterized by a surface having
a peculiar goose flesh appearance);
other African copals from both the
East and the West Coast and copals
from Brazil and other parts of South
America. Among the amber speci-
mems shown were some associated
with Ignite, or brown coal. Mr.. Ash
by called special attention to a speci-
men of amber from Hazen Island,
Greenland, in which the amber, dis
titled by pines that were dead before
the days of ADAM" had filed cavities
in the brown coal made by boring
worms in the wood before it was
turned to coal.
In his address in leading the con-
ference Mr.. Ashby said that amber,
the oldest and most thoroughly fos-
silized resin, was for ages a chief fac
tor in the intercourse of widely sep
arated peoples and a means of calling
new trade routes into being, thus ex-
tending some of the arts of peace and
culture to distant and savage lands
Amber was a most important gem Of
the ancient civilized world, and its
power of attracting light bodies when
rubbed early claimed the attention of
savants, who named it "electron," a
word from which our word electricity
is derived. The beauty and supposed
occult power of amber inspired the
Imagination of savants and poets
alike to account for it's origin.
After briefly rehearsing some of
these legends, Mr.. Ashby stated that
amber had been derived from the
fora of the tertiary period, when Eu-
rope was a great archipelago and lux
uriant forests extended into the polar
circle While most of the amber of
the Baltic is of various shades of yell
low, sometimes running into brown,
Roumanian amber is usually of a rich
dark brown hue, with shining gold
and silver fiecks and blush and green
ish tints, while the Sicilian variety
was said to possess all the colors of
the rainbow, but its chief charm is
its fiuorescence, a curious property
possessed by some bodies of giving off
reflected light of a color different
from their own.-Brooklyn Eagle.

MUSTACHE THE CAUSE
OF SUIT IN COURT
Herr Rottger Loses Hirsute Adorn-
ment on Wager, But His Wife
BraVeIY InterfereS.

BRESLAU, Dec. 26.-The most
magnificent mustache in Breslau
grows on the upper lip of Herr Rott-
ger At a convivial gathering the 9TH
er evening he offered to cut it off if
the company would give S25 to a char.
ity in which he was interested. He
was taken up, the contract was put in
writing and Rottger was to appear the
next evening "all shaven and shorn"
and get the money.
Rottger did not turn up. Instead
the postman brought letter from
Frau Rottger, who said when she mar
ried her husband she also married his
mustache, adding:
His mustache is my mustache. He
has no right to dispose of it and the
contract on paper is null and void.
Should you dispute this the law courts
are open to you"
The party of the second part in
the contract has accepted the wife's
challenge and taken legal steps to
compel Rottger to live up to his bar
gain.

well, ran up against another
queer proposition again tonight" said
"Pye" Howell, the man who created
the red coat idea and made the union
depOts information bureau famous,
as he was preparing to leave the sta
ton last night, says the Kansas City
Journal.
This time" he said, "the foolish
questiOner happened to be an excep-
tionally pretty girl of about Is years
or more, and her smart appearance
and clever manner made the situation
the more laughable."
According to the story. the girl first
made her appearance before the win
dow with the half query. half demand,
when does my train leave?"
Where are you going?" queried
back the man behind the window.
"Out to Kansas. was the answer.
Whereabouts in Kansas"
"Out to my uncle's."
where does your uncle live ?"
"Just one mile from the postoffice,"
was the last answer, and then, as in
variabIy the case, she had to submit
to showing her ticket, and then it took
but a minute to give her the proper in
formation.

JAMES j. HILL CAUGHT
BUT SCANTILY CLAD
Great Railroad President Keeps APP
pointment With Governor and
Two Senators in "Nightie."

Two senators III NlSIlIlc.
1t is common gossip in ST Paul that
the recent trip to Butte, Mont, by
James ]. Hill in the private car that
was once the exclusive outfit of c. S.
MeIlen when he was president of the
Northern Pacific was attended by
some unusual circumstances.
To begin with, that car had never
before been used by anybody except
Mellen. No subordinate of his had ever
set foot in it. Even Hill had never
been in it except on Mellen's invita-
ton. But Hill ordered it fitted out
for the Butte trip without so much
as consulting President Elliott or let
ting him know that he was going to
use the car.
The great Jim J." attended the
first days recent mediation confer
ence at Butte wearing his nightshirt.
The president of the Northern Securi-
ties is sometimes careless in matters
of dress, but this is said to be the
limit He had planned that his spe-
cial train en- route to Butte would
pass Helena about in the morning.
He had wired ahead to Governor
TooIe to accompany him to Butte on
his special Not wishing to get the
Governor out too early, Hill requested
the train crew to time the speed so as
not TO reach Helena earlier than Z.
He desired also to be up when the
Governor climbed aboard. Like many
another man in more humble station
in life, Hill oversight and was not on
hand to greet the Governor. The
train sped along by East Helena and
Montana ICity, and still the great Sc
curities man did not put in an ap-
pearance. Finally one of Hills sec
retaries knocked at his stateroom and
called him, telling him the Governor
was not only aboard, but breakfast
was awaiting him. The railroad pres
ident did a clever turn in quick dress
ing. In a few minutes he hurried into
the dining compartment of the car,
greeted everybody pleasantly, inquired
about Governor Toole's health, praised
the beautiful October weather and
proposed that they eat breakfast.
Something about Hills attire attract
ed the attention of those who had ac-
companied him from st. Paul. His
shirt looked odd. Closer inspection
explained all.
He had on his nlghtShlrt. In MS
haste he did not take it off, but sim
ply pulled a string tie around his neck
and let it go at that. Nor did he
change it when he reached Butte. He
walked up town wearing the unstarch-
ed garment and wore it all day at
the conference.
Whether it was absent -mindedness
or expediency that made him wear a
nightshirt at the conference with two
Senators and the Governor will proba-
bly, never be known. The incident will
not be forgotten in a day and will
probably cause James ]. Hill to either

VETERAN TENNIS PLAYERS
ARE IN EXCELLENT FORM
Will Taylor and J. S. TObin Con-
tinuc Their Victorious Career
on the Courts.

Tennis players were so numerous at
the California Club courts yesterday
that nearly all the games played were
doubles matches. The feature of the
afternoon was the match between VIII
Taylor and Joe Tobin and Drummond
MacGavin and Frank Mitchell. After
a hard struggle Taylor and Tobin car
ried off the honors, winning three sets
Of four.
The ex-champions are developing
into a formidable team and as yet
have not met with defeat. Tobin made
most of the points on his side of the
net, but Taylor was as steady as usual
and his errors were few. MacGavin
bore the brunt of the play on the other
side and was not well supported by his
partner. Mitchell was off in his game
and netted many easy balls. Of the
four MacGavin was by far the most
brilliant player, but the superior
stea diness of his opponents easily Off
set this.
Another excellent match was that in
which Harry Rolfe and Herbert
Schmidt beat Gus Taylor and Sidney
Salisbury. Taylor has not played for
a long time and was somewhat out of
practice, but played a clever game.
Rolfe and Schmidt are improving all
the time and their work of late has
been consistent. They won three sets
out Of four.
A fast mixed doubles match was
played by Miss Ethel Smith and Leon
ard Wood on one side of the net and
Miss Alicia Mills and Herbert Gray on
the other. The four sets played were
close, but all of them were won by
Miss Smith and Wood, who were a
trihe too strong for their opponents.>
If possible the handicap doubles
tournament which was commenced on
Christmas day will be completed to-
day. Play will be called at $3.50 this
morning.
The following matches were played
