Wonderful Erosion.

A curious effect Of the wear and
tear to which the earth's crust Is ever
being subjected is exhibited in the sin
gularly capped pinnacles existing on
South river, In the Wasatch noun
tains. in Utah. There are hundreds Of
these slender pillars, ranging In height
from 40 to 400 feet, most Of them
crowned by large caps Of stones. They
are not works of human art, as might
be imagined. but are the memorial
monuments Of the hill from which they
have been cut by the action Of air
and water. Those pinnacles alone re-
main Of many square miles OF solid
rocks, which have been washed away
to Z depth Of some 400 feet. The
greater hardness Of the surface has
caused II to resist corrosion more than
the underlying rock. thus leaving huge
caps Of stone perched high In air on
the points Of their columns. One dou-
BILE column, capped By single stone.
forms natural bridge both unique
and picturesque.

White, excited faces looked into mine
Hundreds Of clinched fists tossed above
the dense masses on either side. Again
and again plunged at those who drove
me, but they thrust me onward. Far
ahead in the throng | saw the head
and shoulders of Jack Mount overtop-
ping them all.
The mob halted at a cross street to
allow a cavalcade of horsemen to pass
Above the heads of the people l could
see the cavalry riding. sabers barred, the
riders glancing curiorsly down at the
rahbe and its prisoners. A coach
passed escorted by Dragons. A gen
tleman looked out to seek the reason

his head leaned so close to me that

was Walter Butler.

lordship be pleased to see his comrade,
the notorious Jack Mount?"
Drive on" said Butler impassively
Then the crowd began to boot and jeer
as the bailitfs pushed me forward once
more through the dust Of Cornhll up
Queen street.
And so. crushed by the awful dis
grace which had fallen on me, with

into the courthouse on Queen street,
across the yard and into the gates of
the prison, which crashed behind me,
drowning the roars of the people in my

STRANGER GETS 40 ACRES CHEAP
Takes Advantage of Oversight on Part
of Homestead Contestants.

After having been involved in liti-
cations for five or six years, during
which time they expended hundreds of
dollars, with forty acre tract Of land
county, as the bone of contention.
Andrew Haney and Andreas Wollman
have been greatly agitated because a
stranger, by the exercise of a little
shrewness, has Unexpectedly stepped in
and taken the land away from both of
them Haney made homestead entry
on the tract many years ago. When he
went to prove up Wollman contested
his entry. The case had been stoutly
fought, decisions and appeals and new
trials and appeals following each other
in succession through all the channels
of the federal land department. In
March Haney's entry, as the result of
the litigation, was cancelled and Woll-
man was given thirty days in which to
make homestead entry on the tract
by an oversight ne permtteu the Time
to expire without rendering his entry at
the district United States land office,
and now a stranger. having in some
way learned of Wollman's neglect, has
made homestead entry on the land.
Thus both Haney and Wollman are out
and naturally they feel deeply cha
grined after having fought for years
over the tract and expended money
which could have been used to better
purpose in other directions. The tract
is worth from 81, 900 to 1900. Woll-
man felt so certain of securing it that
he had fenced it into q pasture. Now
he will have to remove his fence and
permit the stranger to have undisputed
possession.

A LITTLE MAN.
Conductor Spellman Proves His
Littleness.

A little incident at the depot at
Twin Brooks last Wednesday even
ing showed up Conductor Spellman
in very disagreeable light. just
before No. ] pulled in from the east,
the Twin Brooks agent received a
message from the agent at Milbank
for Spellman stating that a young
man with two tickets for Sioux City
had been left at Milbank, his sister
was on No. /, and Spellman was
requested to carry her to Aberdeen,
and tell her that her brother would
be up on No. 3. Spellman refused
to take any consideration of the mes
sage and put the girl off at Twin
Brooks. She was a young girl about
fourteen years Of age, and having no
money with her was naturally much
bewildered at her position. The
young man was notified that his sis
ter had been put off at Twin Brooks
and he walked to that station from
Milbank to be with her. Mean
while she was cared for by the peo-
pie at the Twin Brooks hotel. Evil
IDENTIFY Conductor Spellman is a
stranger to the Golden Rule, or
he lacks that characteristic, broth
erly sympathy, which makes US bet
ter and kinder to our neighbor whom
he is in trouble. A man who will do
as he did by this young girl who is
hardly old enough to care for her
self is strange to understand. He
certainly isn't a man to gain the
admiration and respect Of people
who think Of someone besides them
selves.

plain Is accumulation of myriads OF

mirage are produced by this means.
The pebbles are polished by the loose
