~sAp LANDS" IN MONTANA.
Miles on Miles Of Rugged chasmsr
Fantastlcally Carved.

1t seems to me that no human be-
ing can stand on that spot and view
that marvellous labyrinth of wild
nature without being thrilled by it.
Instantly your thoughts fly to the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, as
seen from Point Sublime, only this
is in miniature. The fact that you
stand on sharp point, from which
the world drops steeply away on
three sides, is not the thing that
is so profoundly impressive. 1t is
the depth, the breadth and the awful
wilderness of the maze of bad lands
int which you look Before you,
and on either hand, there stretch
miles upon miles of ragged chasms,
divided and walled in by thou
sand fantastic cliffs, and buttresses,
and domes of naked hard pan that
stubbornly defy the forces of ero-
sion, and refuse to crumble down.
In several places there are masses
of earth architecture that remind
one of the ruined castles on the
Rhine. These bare walls are most
ly of gray earth, not rock, and the
carving of them has been most
strangely done. 1t is only when you
climb among them, and touch them,
that the wonders of erosion are fully
revealed.
The hard, dry earth has most stub
bornly resisted the disintegrating
action Of the water, wind, heat and
cold, and there are hundreds of earth
cliffs nearly as smooth and as perpen-
dicular as the brick walls of Harlem.
l dislike to estimate the total
drop Of these bad lands from the
plateau to the waters Of Snow creek,
but think it is about 800 feet.
After the first moments of SPELL
bound wonder and amaze, you begin
to pick out the geography of what
lies before you. You see that the
axis of all this wild waste of carved
and furrowed earth is the level and
very narrow valley Of Snow creek,
which comes down from the west
You can easily trace its course east
ward to the point whore it bends
abruptly northward and runs into
the Missouri, parallel with the last
eight miles of He'll creek. In the
creek bottom there is sinuous
string of cottonwood trees, aspens and
willow brush.-Scribner.

Toledo Entertalns 10000 Visitors.

Dayton Policeman Shot a Negro.

Dayton, o. - Patrolman Harry
Spurgeon on Monday shot and IA
tally wounded Put" Tillman a ne
torious negro, while Tillman was re-
sisting arrest. The black started out
with a shotgun with the avowed in
tention of killing Lucien Wyatt, an
other negro, and the officer was sent
to capture him. A desperate fight en-
sued when the two met, during which
locust was splintered over the ne
gro's head and, while Tillman was
trying to get his shotgun in position
to shoot, the officer drew his revolver
and fired, the bullet striking the
negro in the stomach.

IS FINED FOR CONTEMPT
Lawyer McCracken Parts
With So For Calling
Names.

Contempt of court is possible in
Gary and the justices of the peace are
going to do their share to uphold the
dignity of the court, as Attorney j. r.
McCracken of Gary has learned.
McCracken was fined 50 Saturday by
Justice Patrick Fitzgerald for arguing
with a witness and refused to go on
with the case until the attorney had
laid down the 50.
The case on trial was that of Treusch
VS.. O'Donnell, Ora Wildermuth appear
ing for Treusch, while McCracken APP
peared for O'Donnell.
Treusch was placed on the stand and
the examination of the witness soon
resulted in cutting remarks handed out
in the way of repartee.
