ANOTHER DESERT MYSTERY

The following strange tale appear
ed in the Ely Mining Record. The
discovery adds another to the long list
of desert mysteries:
of Eagan canyon one day last week
S. r. Mclaughlin and Morris Roberts,
discovered a small cave in which they
found two Kentucky rifles with the
stocks burned of and partly con-
sumed, portions OF two human skulls
and RIB bones, beads, and several
pieces 0. coin, ar uearlnG
the date 1871, all of the other coins
having an earlier date On the barrel
of one of the guns was stamped the
name of p. Newbaker. A fire had
been hnilt in the cave and the guns
lai1 across it with the intention Of
destroying them, and they were lying
in that position when found by the
Two gentlemen named. From the ap-
peaiance of the portions of the stocks
not burned they must have lain in
tire cave for a number of years. The
cave commands a good view of the
OlG overland stage road, coming down
through Eagan canyon, and the 10
cation of the cave can be seen from
the main street Of Cherry Greek Old
timers living in the vicinity of Cherry
Crock were unaware of the existence
of the cave until it was found last
week. and how the guns and human
bones came there are explained by
various theories. The skulls ARE said
tic ne those OF white man and
woman and how they came to Their
death in that lonely spot will probab
" forever remain a mystery.

EsklMo's LOVE FOR TOBACCO.
Smokes Hard and Fast So There
Shall Be No Waste.

mo man is fonder Of tobacco chan
an Eskimo said the Arctic traveller
at his club. The Eskimo depends
Cor his tobacco solely on the white
man. For a pound Of it he would
sell his eldest son.
1T is odd to see an Eskimo smoke.
He chops his tobacco fine and mixes
1t with chopped willow twigs, so as
to make 1t go further. Then he cleans
out with a picker of bone the small
stone bowl Of his pipe. and then he
plucks a lock of hair from his deer
skin suit and rams it down in the
bottom OF the pipe bowl, so as to pre-
vent any of the finely chopped to-
bacco from escaping into the stem.
Finally he lights the pipe and
smokes it in a swift series of long,
strong puffs, so that there may be
no waste. Each puff is inhaled deep
down into the lungs and the first
puf's smoke is still streaming from
the nOstrils long after another puff
has been started. There must be,
you see, no waste. There must be
none of that vain combustion of to-
bacco without benefit to the smoker
which goes on continually among us.
Often the most experienced Eski-
mo will smoke 50 hard and fast that
tears will stream from his eyes. and
will cough violently. and some
times vertigo and nausea will seize
him."

American Chameleon,

The American chameleon, a small
lizard, inhabits various parts of the
southern United States. The little
animal has the remarkable habit
of quickly and completely changing
it's colors, varying from brown to vel
low and pale green. Its food consists
OF insects. The little animal is per-
fectly harmless to higher forms of
life, is often kept as a pet. and has
been worn attached to a chain as an
ornament. The toes are provided
with adhesive pads, which enable the
lizard to run upon smooth, vertical
surfaces.-St. Nicholas.

cipally to take action upon the
contemplated petition for ex-
tending the present water and

tend the water and light service.
In order to facilitate matters the
copy of the petition had been
forwarded to Fulton & Co., of
Chicago, who have agreed to take
the bonds. for their inspection,
to guard against any question
coming up after the tax has been
voted. which might delay matters
or perhaps render another vote
necessary. Nothing had been
heard from them, so it was de-
cided to meet again Friday night
in adjourned meeting. Then
the other business was taken up.
An ordinance requiring the
screening of all cisterns with
wire by March 1 was passed, and
copies of the ordinance were or
dered printed on card board
and distributed over town.
The petition of the property
holders on east Main street was
acted on by ordering the cement
walk as prayed for and bids will
be asked for. A provision for
payment in g.. II, 10 and "a
months was made.
Drs. N. p. Moss and II. L

TWO RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS TODAY
One Horse Badly Injured and Express
Driver Dumped Out on His
Head.

Two runaway accidents. one quickly
following the other, furnished enough
excitement for one day to pedestrians
in Fourth street this morning. An ex-
press team, hitched in front of the
Dacres, took a sudden notion to bolt
just before noon and circling around
the block, running into another team
hitched in Fourth street near the
Pauly cigar store. badly wOunding one
of the animals. The tongue of the ex-
press wagon struck the horse squarely
in the breast, penetrating the flesh
several inches. The animal was quick
ly unhitched and taken to the Mcbride
barns for treatment by veterinary
few minutes afterwards a Mcbride
express team took a notion to cut up a
few "didoos" and upset the wagon,
pitching the driver out and skinning
his face slightly. The rig was unin-
jured.
