That the newspaper Is one of tie
most powerful factors in American
life has long been known but it's
great influence for good or evil was
demonstrated in rather an unusual
way when OIL. Pickens was knocked
down with late issue of a western
journal. The accident all came
about over the uncomfortable desire
upon the part of Mr.. Pickens to tease
the cashier at Lesueur- Gibbons Co.
During lull in business Mr.. Pickens
took occasion to make a rather pro-
voking remark to the young lady and
she playfully picked up the paper in
its wrapper, as it had lately come
from the postoffice, and threw it at
the offending young man. The paper
went end over end and caught Mr..
Pickens just over the eye, flooring
him at once. With assistance he
was soon restored to consciousness
but now wears the crippled eye in Il
Observation-Disclosures.

The Arizona Copper Company h; S
recently built several large shallow
tanks in which the fines from the
teacher and the shines from the con
centrator are impounded and settled.
The fines from the teacher run well
in copper and are mixed with fue
dust and run through the converters.
And the shines from the concentra-
tor are being used at the smelter for
converter lining. 1t is said that this
is proving quite a saving and it i
probable that other tanks will be
added. Heretofore the fines from
the teacher have been dumped into
the river and wasted. A great por-
ton of the shines from the concen-
traitor have also been dumped into
the river contrary to the wishes of
the farmers in the valley. The new
s heme VIII keep the tai ings from
he river and at the same time be a

AWFUL STORY OF
FIENDISH CRUELTY
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL RUINED

Made TO Suffer a Most Terrible Death
Pneked TO Death by Thousands Of
Needles.
Especial to The Daily Sentinel,

whose chief magistrate. the czar. is
also the chief executioner; a king
VINO murders his subjects by the hun.
dreds daily, as is charged by the rev
olutlonists.
One of the worst cases of beastlv
cruelty recently reported comes from
small town called Riajsk. There
on large estate, situated on the out
skirts of the town, lived girl of
extraordinary beauty for her walk
Of life. Kajuska was the belle of
the little community. and much per-
secuted by ardent lovers.
Several months ago, to defend her
virtue, she got into a fight with a
farmer, who lost an eye in the scuf-
lie. Night before last the one-eyed
man returned to the farm with three
friends, all under the influence of
bad whiskey.. They gained entrance
to the girls room, who slept apart
from the rest of the household,
gagged her, dragged her out of bed,
and carried her to the stable.
There, III the dead of the night,
the girl was outraged by the four
fiends. Then they bound her hand
and foot and threw her into the pig
sty before dozen or more hungry
porkers. The beasts at once set
about to devour the girl. tearing
great pieces of flesh from her limbs
and bosom. While she was being
eaten alive one animal pulled the
gag from the girls mouth and she
shrieked for help. In a minute or
so three or four men burst into the
pig sty and with some agricultural
implements lying about drove off the
hungry porkers. The wounded and
bleeding girl was turned over to the
women, while the men took up the
pursuit of her assailants.
Two of them were caught In the
forest, while the instigator of the
crime and a comrade are still at
large. The peasants court quickly
assembled, decreed an awful death.
The culprits were denuded of their
clothes and each of the thousand in
habitants amused themselves by stick
ing pins into the maLacled carcases.
In this way the Russian peasant
avoids being convicted of murder In
case lynch justice leads to arrest.
The cowardly assailants of the
poor girl were made into sleeves, the
process lasting a whole day and a
whole night Furthermore. the town
council decided that the pigs must
die under torture. They were ac-
cordingly hacked to pieces and the
pieces were buried in the ground,
the mayor placing a guard over the
grave to prevent poor people from
digging up the flesh.

WHAT IS LOST IN
new YORK EACH YEAR
Especial to Tho DAILY sentinell

New York, Dec. 3.-New Workers
lose every year 10000 umbrellas on
subways, surface lines and elevated
trains, or more than enough to sup
ply the whole state of Nevada at n
ratio more generous than that which
usually exists.
New Workers, indeed, seem to have
acquired the losing habit almost to
the point of mania, and while fig
ures for the whole city cannot be
obtained, the statistic of the lost
and found departments maintained
by the street car lines show that
more than 100000 articles are lost
on them every year. If to this total
be added those found by dishonest
persons who do not turn them In,
the figure approaches the quarter
million mark, and for the whole city
in all It's different activities the to-
tai number of articles lost every year
is estimated at 100000. valued at
$4,000, 900.
Every article of male and female
attire appears in the list, and glass
eyes. false teeth and wigs are com
mon. More umbrellas are left behind
than anything else; but hundreds of
overcoats, shoes. shirts, coats, vests
and even trousers are turned in ev-
ery week. Parrots and canaries, to
say nothing of four-footed pets, all
go to fill the menagerie department
of the lost and found offices.
Perhaps the most curious find re-
ported lately was what is officially
described as "a tin can and its con-
tents" said contents being very fiat
beer. or course, It is absolutely
worthless, but as the law requires
all found articles to be held for a
specified time 1t has duly taken its
official place with all the other var
led articles which New York loses
every year.
