Stood on Her Rights.

A sensational shooting occurred
at Sparks Sunday In which ventuee-
some sheepherder and q woman nam
ed Mrs. Maxon figured. It seems that
Mrs. Maxon owns a collection of odor-
ferrous goats that the neighbors had
never taken q liking to. Accordingly
they invited q herder to take his sheep
to the lots near near Mrs. Maxon AMI
pasture them on the underground
there. He did so against the prote st
of Mrs. Maxon. who threatened to
shoot and shoot to kill. according to
the story that is told. Sunday morn
ing when he appeared, Mrs. Maxon
gave him warning. and as 1t was not
needed she proceeded to take a couple
shots at him. To avoid bloodshed the
sheephearder withdrew and Mrs
Maxon was left in possession Of the
neighborhood

Bad Effects Of Modern Invention.

The inventions of printing, the tel
agraph, telephone, and even the rail-
road, while of benefit to man in many
ways, bring distinct perils to intelli-
gence and character. When there
were none Of these things little
country town in New Hampshire could
produce such men as Ezekiel and
Daniel Webster, Gen. John A. Dix,
William Pitt Fessenden, Moody Cur
rier, and Moses G. Farmer. They
had leisure to study and to think
Their minds were not overburdened
with the details of the daily news.
They did not hustle to keep in touch
with public affairs. Matters that were
important enough to claim attention
when they were no longer new, litera-
ture of permanent value, and exam
pies of human excellence which had
made their mark upon the centuries
were presented to their minds in
something like due proportion. They
had time to study history, law, and
the masterpieces of literature; and
they did study them. Now the men
and women who would create for
themselves a similar intellectual at
mosphere must study the art of ex-
clusion. They must consider the rail
road, the telegraph, the telephone, and
the printing press as inventions full
of danger unless and until they are
put in their proper places and held in
strict subsection. Like live wires, new
explosives, and freshly discovered ele-
ments of matter, they are dangerous
if carelessly used. The loss of the
power of attention in college classes
Ito which Prof. Shaler testiffes, and
which is a fact of common observa-
tion) may, in part, be explained by
the display of intellect caused by the
discovery of new ways in which it
may be frittered away upon trifles.-

with Joe Corres, then lad OF Il
years, he made search. Just before
that FIRE had swept through the
pass, and Martinez found his search
fruitless. He determined to continue
1t, however, but within a week he, too,
was a corpse, having died suddenly
from heart disease.
Joe Correa was in possession Of the
secret, but, like the dead man, he was
in fear of the death-dealing ''evil eye
and let the treasure alone. AS he
grew to manhood, however. he made
several Intellectual Attempts to locate
the cache, but without success. His
confidence in the herder's story never
faltered, and finally he planned to Sc
cure a lease on the land in the pass,
procure the largest subsoil plough OBJ
tainable and turn over every possible
bit of land, by which method he be-
lieved he would turn up the missing
gold. Like many of his neighbors,
Correa was not overdburdened with
worldly goods, and when he was seri-
ously hurt in a runaway he had to be
taken to the hospital, and there he
died. BY this time the story of the
buried treasure had become the prop.
erty of many Spanish and Basque fam.
lilies.
And now comes a strange part of
this story. About two years ago
Basque sheep herder, named Jean Bap-
tiste Largo, suddenly gave UP his
his work, came to the city, and after
making many purchases at the stores,
he visited one Of the banks and Sc
cured drafts on France He then de-
parted for his native land, saying he
had money enough AS he was leav-
ing he told intimate friends that he
had found money in the Cahuenga
Pass through the digging of his shep-
herd dog.
Just what has started the search for
the remainder Of the fortune at the
present time does not appear, but the
fact remains that members of the
Basque and French colonies are GER
tain that a proper and systematic
search will turn to light the remain
ing two packages, said to contain
$4,000 worth OF jewels and gold
Laurent Etchepare, who was the
proprietor of the Six Mile House, was
active in planning for a search just
before his death occurred.
Through the medium of Manuel Or
doqui, whose place of business is at
the corner of Also and Alameda
streets, the services of a man, noted
for his misunderstanding powers
have been secured and he is new on
his way to Los Angeles from Arizona.
Meanwhile, there are old men in the
local French and Basque colonies who
point back to the deaths which have
strew1 the course Of those who at
tempted the fortune-fnding business,
and they shake their heads obviously
as they talk of plans that are now
maturing.

Traffic on Tam.o,-shanter Route.

The "Auld Brig O Ayr made ia
nous by Ayr's most famous son, has
been reoDened for traffic Some four
months ago it was closed by order of
the authorities because it was con-
sidered unsafe. A native of the town
had left 10000 for the purpose Of
keeping it in thorough repair, but the
terms Of the will were not sufficiently
explicit, and the matter went into the
law courts. Pending the settlement
of the case the town council closed
the bridge and set to work to make
sure that it would not be still further
destroyed by the foods and tides. On
this they have spent $1,000. and now
the old arches are supported strongly
by wooden erections underneath, ca
pable of bearing the full weight Of
the bridge should the foundation give
way, as they threaten to do, BY and
by, when the lawsuit is over, the work
of making the foundations secure will
be tackled. that is. if the 10000
comes to the bridge as the testator in
tended. If it does not come. the
money will have to be raised in some
other way, for it would never do to let
Ayr's principal attraction fall into ru-
ms, and SO deprive Burns of his cred

long life.-Glasgow Herald.

So-CaiIed Prophecies.

Amy man of a lively fancy, who
knows enough of human nature to
realize it's abiding needs. can enum-
crate future discoveries by the doz-
en- with fair chance that perhaps one
in thousand may be realized within
q century To the same class belong
the curious anticipations by native
tribes, which generally take the form
of news known. when by no conceiv-
able means could Information have
reached them by ordinary channels.
The present writer believes that this
phenomenon, which some have ex-
planned by teiepathy, is simply form
of anticipation. The native is an in
veterate guesser, and since his tongue
never ceases and his invention is &C.
tive, he makes enough attempts to be
fairly certain of stumbling now and
then on the truth.-London Spectator.

A CLEVER CAPTURE.

All right, sir. Good morning"

through the bank, took his way into
the town with e11.000 under his
charge.
lie was frequently employed in the
execution of such transactions as the
present between his uncles bank and
the other banks. On reaching his des-
tination he marched UP to that portion
of the bank counter which was appro
priated to such business transactions.
The elderly and precise clerk who oc-
cupied the high stool on the opposite
site of the counter was almost shaken
out of his propriety By Hughs start
and confused exclamation, as, after
searching yainly in the depth of his
pockets for the precious notes, the fact
dawned upon him that they were gone.
Enthusiastically gone.
Whats the matter, Mr. Hugh? What
is it?" was repeated more than once be-
fore his scattered senses were recall
ed and then the query was only met
by another, and one which, alas! was
not to be SO easily answered
"What am to do?" were the words
which he at last stammered out.
He returned in most crestfallen
condition, as fast as hanson cab
could carry him, to the room which he
had left SO complacently less than an
hour before.
