Some excitement was caused Monday
night by a lot of hangings in the win
dow of the Star Clothing House taking
fire from lamp that was being lighted
and put in place near the window by an
employe Of the store. The damage

DIDN'T WANT IN sPECT1oN. Ole
johnson, the Mouse river rancher living
at Pleasant, informed The Tribune that,
wanting a horse to match up team,
he recently went to Sherwood to look
at some animals that had just been
shipped into that place. On calling at
. the barn and looking the animals over,
he picked very likely looking equine
from the bunch and at once struck up a
bargain with the owner for the same.
After the purchase was concluded, the
day being pretty we'll spent Mr.. john
son concluded not to start for home un-
til the following morning. After break
his new purchase was housed and. on
again looking him over, noticed pecu-
liarity that was not visible to the naked
eye the day previous. The horse ap-
peared dumpish and was running a
little at the nose," as Mr.. J. expressed
it. Turning to the man from whom he
had made the purchase, he told him
that he thought before taking the ami
NAL home he would call in the State
Veterinary and have him look the horse
over. The seller, however, vociferous-
ly protested the horse was all right,
that he didn't want any state veteri-
nary to monkey around his stock and
wouldn't have it. johnson persisted,
the horseman begged him to desist, but
finding his entreaties were in vain, he
told johnson that if he were not satis-
fled with the animal he had purchased
he could 60 through the bunch, pick
what he might consider the best among
them, and take it in lieu of the one he
had purchased. johnson readily took
up the offer, with the result that he Sc
lected an animal worth vastly more
than the one he had bought and paid
for, and was allowed to lead it away
without the least adoo on the part of
the thoroughly discomfitted owner. The
reader is left to his own conclusions as
to what might have been the trouble
with the horse discarded by johnson,
but it was not long before several erst-
while prosperous farmers in that part
of the country lost horse after horse
with the glanders, and johnson was
congratulating himself that he had
''funked" and thus evaded the possi-
bility of introducing the dread disease
among his own stock, he already hav-
ing had costly experience in the loss
Of fourteen head from the same cause.
People cannot be too particular in in
specting horses shipped in from other
states before concluding purchases from
such shipments.

D. Switzer came in from the farm
Tuesday and brought to The Tribune
office several large cucumbers, just to
show what is possible in the way of
gardening in the Bowbells country. The
samples left with us are as large,
plump and perfect as any that have
been shipped in here this year from
eastern growers, and Mr.. S. says little
or no pains were taken to cultivate
them the seed once in the ground. He
has also been feasting on sweet corn,
onions, potatoes and carrots from the
same garden for some time, and has as
paragus and celery coming on fine, and
tomatoes rapidly ripening.

Monday night on the return trip to
their home at Broken Bow, Neb., after
a pleasant visit with D. M. Skinner and
other acquaintance in the Westminster
neighborhood. In the course Of con.
versation with The Tribune, Mr.. S.
stated that where in the state of Ne.
braska only few years ago everyone
was falling over himself to get out OF
the country and get away from the
want and destitution that had beset
them there, now all are prosperous,
and happy. Land that went begging
at $3.50 to $3.50 quarter section then,
now readily sells at $25 to $50 an acre,
and few are willing to let their hold
ings go even at those tempting figures.
The crops of all kinds this year are the
best the country has ever produced, ,and
stock has been doing remarkably well,
so that the Nebraska farmer has now
come tosbelieve that he has in reality

offered him are properly handled and
taken advantage Of. ...4

Outlaw Gold.
From the yinlta Chleftain.

FROM Inc fluiIa CleItAln.
During the closing years of the civil war,
when the Indian Territory was the habita-
ton of scores of lawless bands who lived
by pillaging the country. cask of gold was
taken from a party OF soldiers on their
way to Fort Gibson and buried somewhere
In the vicinity of what is known as Willow
Springs.
Upon the arrival of the soldiers at the
fort without the gold. a large detachment
of soldiers was sent out against the bands
of outlaws. A battle ensued in which ali
of the outlaws were killed except one. This
one was sentenced TO a life term In the
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth.
Hope had never faded from this man. and
he expected some day to be pardoned and
then to return for the hidden treasure. AS
the years rolled by, however, the confine-
ment broke this man In health, and a few
weeks ago he passed away in his cell IN
the government prison. Before he died,
though, this man told his attendants the
story of the robbery and as nearly as posi-

A party has been IN the Willow Springs
country for several weeks searching for
the lost gold, but no trace has been found
So much faith has been pinned to the dying

Buried" High in Air.
rom the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
In the churchyard of the little Middlesex
village of Primer, England, there stands Il
monument quite distinct from all those
which surround 1t. 1t consists of tall,
square pyramid overgrown with ivy,
through the middle Of which projects a
coffin made OF stone. This monument
was raised by son to his parents,
William and Agnes Loudon, as the
Inscriptions tell. They do not, how
ever. tell why he chose to have his pa
rents bones poised IN midair in the stone
shell, instead of being buried in the usual
manner. This curious act IS accounted for
in strange manner. 1t appears that his
parents came into some money which was
to be theirs so long as their bodies were
above the ground" When they died there
fore, in order that the money should not
pass into other hands, their son buried
them IN this curious manner and despite
the apparent injustice, his object was at
