NAY thank the Journal. Miner and y. il.
Smith, tho Republican member Of tho
board Of supervisors, that tbs United

10 increase its assessment this year.

raise tho valuation 10 3i,eS0.O00. \
The Journal. Miner commented upon
this peculiar fact ut the time. II was
plainly apparent that Mr. Clark was
willing to do the square thing by fn'

valuation Of the United Verde pro-
pcrties, but the Democratic members Of
the board refused 70 take advantage
Of the opening preferred by Mt Cinrk,
and dossedly stood for the valuation
that was before the board. After the

Just ms Well.

Bright sayings are often to be heard
in the courts, and they enliven a dull
and tiresome day.
At one time Sergeant Manning. a
very nervous man, was arguing Il case
before the judges of the common pleas.
He had large number of books before
him, almost enough to constitute a IL
brary. While he was reading the re-
port of one of the cases a number of
books tumbled off the table in front of
him.
MY lords said the sergeant nerv.
ously, lit is reported in two other
books in these exact words"
Are you sure" asked Justice Maule,
that it is exactly the same?"
Certainly. my lords replied Man
ming earnestly.
We'll, them said Justice Maui.
gravely. why hunt for the other
books? Read the same case again out
of the one you have i'll your hand
Manning saw the point, and when
the merrirnent caused by the Justices
suggestion had subsidized he proceeded
with his argument without further
search for the much quoted case.

THE BLACK CROSS.
Mysterious Harvest of Death Reaped
In a Haunted Hut.

We were forced to camp three days
| at the mouth of the Rio FriO, which
empties into Lake Nicaragua just
where the San Juan begins. We were
joined there by a party of German
scientists who We're making tour Of
the Central American republics. There
were seven in the party and two ma
tive guides. They had lost n tent in
crossing the rapids, and one of them
was forced to sleep in an old deserted
hut buried in the wild foliage. He was
a young Leipsic student of fine ply
sique and beloved by all his compan-
ions. The natives had tried to dis
suade him from sleeping in the hut,
telling him that the place was haunt
ed. They asserted that whoever slept
there was always found dead next
morning. with a mark of q black cross
on the neck just over the main artery.
AS a proof of what they said they
showed two ominouS looking mounds
buried in the shrubbery near the hut
which, they said. were the graves of
two Englishmen who had sought shell
ter in the haunted casa.
Tradition had it that some crime or
sacrilege had been committed there
and that. as Il punishment. whoever
slept in the hut was found dead in the
morning with the cruz nigra on the
neck. Herr Shilbach, however, was
not to be deferred by any such super
stition, as he called il. So about 10
O'Clock he retired TO his hut. and
noticed his torch was out in n few
minutes and all was darkness. We
had paid no attention TO the story of
the natives, but as Herr Shilbach did
not answer the bugle call for breakfast
the Indians were ordered 10 summon
him. 1t was only under threats that
they yielded. but scarcely had they en-
tered the hut when we heard the most
frightful screams. and the next min
ute the guides were rushing wildly to-
ward us. shouting in broken Spanish
and Indian: "Epia Ia cruz nigra. In
cruz nigra, ii senior is deadr' We all
ran TO the hut, and to our horror there |
lay the young man wrapped in his |
blanket. his head thrown back. show |
ing the small black cross on the left |
side of the neck.-EXchange.
