TURBULENT HALF.BREEDK1LLED

Friday night of last week Alfred
Moran, turbulent half-breed. after
filling up on prohibition Oil for the
bazz-saw,. went into the store of j. q.
Leach at Cannon Ball, and soon cre-
ated disturbance. Moran's father and
three or four others were in the store,
and Moran set upon his father and
was beating him. Mr.. Leach inter
fereA to protect the father. The
younger Moran then turned on Leach,
graphing with him and trying to beat
him over the head with an ax-handle.
At lenght Leach succeeded In getting
hold of shotgun, shooting Moran In
the abdomen and killing him. Mr..
Leach at once crossed the Missouri
river to this side and surrendered to
Sheriff. Shier. Of this county, who. lives
opposite the: Cannon Ball, and was by
Mr.. Shier taken to Mandan, the
trouble having occurred in Morton
county.
The coFoner's inquest developed the
facts as above stated, and Mr.. Leach
was at once discharged from custody.
The father of the halt breed testified
tthat the killing was done in self
defense.
John c. Leach is a man about sixty
years old, and one Of the best.natured

Missouri. Slope. The action Of the
Morton-county authorities is entirely
in accord with public opinion in this
county, where Mr.. L. has been known
a score Of years.

The following dialogue took place
between a rural swain of Montana and
his lady love The story is vouched for
by an editor OF the local newspaper:
Silas had been sitting by his sweet
heart beneath the grapevine in the
yard and the pale moonlight Of a
northern summer evening was softly
stealing through the vines, giving the
whole scene the color of a fairy cav
ern, and Silas had reached the point
"whar I jest had ter ak her or bust F."
Creeping closer to the blushing maid
en-, who sat silently toying with her
palmleaf fan, he said:

what fur, Silas?"
Because yo' won't have me-"
well, you hain't axed me-"
'Well, I'm gwine to-"
"Well, I'm a-awaitin'."
"Now I axed yer.'
'Then I'll have yer.''
And then the pale moon blushed a
crimson red and the old lop-eared
hound lying by the gate gave chase
to neighbours intruding pig.-Butte

of the younger democrats in the house
but he is recognized as one of the safest
leaders and his resolution calling for
the post Office investigation, which was
responsible for all the recent rumpus,
has still further enhanced his prestige.
For three congresses now Hay has
been chairman of the democratic eau
Gus, and if anything were to happen
to John Sharp Williams the chances
are that Hay would succeed Williams
as the democratic leader on the floor
He is not flowery orator and makes
no pretence at anything of the kind,
but when he talks he carries conviction
and there is no man in the house who
has greater success in securing the
enactment of legislation outside of par
ty lines.
Hay belongs to the practical group of
southern statesmen, among whom Cor
man, of Maryland. and Martin, of Vir-
ginia. are excellent types. If he came
from northern state he would I'M
doubtedly take rank among the leaders
of the national democratic organiza-
ton.

THE GERMS OF HUMAN ILLS
Progress in the Study of Bacteria as
the Cause of Various
Diseases.

new conception of disease or of
the cause of disease in man makes slow
progress. This was strikingly demon
strated, says Gary N. Calkins, in
"Protozoa and Disease" in Century.
when Pasteur first announced that many
human ills are caused by living organ
isms, and the fight which he and Lister
Waged to establish the germ theory is
still fresh in the minds of scientific men.
Little by little they and their followers
made Roadway against the opposition,
and disease after disease was shown to
be caused by the minute bacteria.
10 a much less extent the same con-
servatism is seen to-day in the wide
spread opposition to the protozoa theory
OF disease-less, because the battle for
the germ theory in general need not be
refought. With malaria the fight has
been won; with smallpox and yellow
fever the battle is now on, and time is
needed to overcome the present opposi-
tlon-an opposition based upon the same
grounds as that of 80 years ago, name
ly, at the foreign structures found in
the human body and regarded as Or
ganisms are the effect of the disease and
not it's cause. With bacteria such op-
position was overcome by the culture
methods introduced by Koch. In proto-
goa the difficulties of obtaining similar
cultures are far greater, and this in part
explains the failures to cultivate the
malaria organisms or the organism of
smallpox by the usual ARCHAEOLOGICAL
methods. 1t is highly probable, how
ever, that when as much attention is
given to the study of disease-causing
protocol as is now given to that of BAG
terra, all these difficulties will be over
come, and that as our knowledge of this
group increases we shall find and con-
troll many more causes of human dis
ease.

FOX CHASE IN CATACOMBS.
Hounds Run Their Quarry to Earth
in Excavations of Early Chris
tians Near Rome.

George Won L. Meyer, American am
bassador to Italy, is splendid horse
man, and when in Rome he follows the
foxhounds regularly, says London pa
per-
The entire region over which the Ro-
man hunts are held is undermined
by catacombs, excavated by the early
Christians for hiding places during
the Observation-Disclosures of sub
terranean passages burrowed in every
direction like the diggings Of a mole.
One day, when the ambassadors hounds
had met just beyond the world-famous
tomb of Coecilia Metella, an old gray fox
was unearthed and led the field a merry
chase, finally drawing them in the di-
rection of the catacombs of st. Cal
ixto
Seeing the pack run up a steep hill
close to the fox's brush, the leading
horsemen firmly expected to be in at
dismay when, on reaching the top of the
hill, there wasn't a hound in view
Though the country was level and bare
for miles around, the is couples had dis
appeared as completely as if they had
been spirited away by magic.
The men stopped short and were con-
sulting as to what they should do when
faint whimpers like the far-off sound
of pack in full cry, seemed to rise from
the ground. They became more and
more faint as the astonished riders lis
tened, and finally ceased entirely. For
a moment the hunters looked at each
other in blank amazement. Then the
master, Prince San Faustino, seemed to
have found the solution and rode off,
scanning the ground carefully in every
direction.
A minute later he showed the others
a hole in the ground about the size OF
barrel hoop, with marks of paving
all around it. The fox evidently had
known of this entrance into the cata-
combs and entered it, followed by the
hounds.
LabOrers were summoned in haste
and the opening was enlarged suff-
GENTLY to allow a man to enter COM
fortably. After that the horn was SET
going, and the men took turns at it.
For awhile there was no response, but
finally a few exhausted hounds began
to struggle in, and in time most of them
were rescued, though a few never re-
turned, probably having strayed down
so far that they could not hear the horn,
or having fallen into the dark pits that
abound in the catacombs.
For days afterwards peasants who
passed the spot told of hearing strange,
fearful noises emanating from the bow
els OF the earth-sounds like the lamen-
tatlons of a lost soul. With the supersti-
ton OF the ignorant, they crossed them
selves and hurried by, instead of stopping
to investigate.
