Modern Fairy Tales

Galveston has proved herself secure.
The sea wall she reared with 50 much
care has stood the test of a storm as
fierce--though not as long continued
us that which brought her to the edge
of ruin u few years ago. That modern
King Canute. the engineer, has said 10
the sea: Thus far, and no farther"
and the sea has heard and obeyed.
The storm serves to call attention to
some of the truly amazing works which
are taken rs matters of course in builu-
ing the modern city. Galveston takes
Il low sand spit Of an island, drowned
ut every high tide. She builds a wall
around a portion of this island and then
fills in the ground inside the wall.
What was n sandy swamp, she makes
into Il fit and proper foundation for sky
scrapers and grain elevators and ore
chutes and warehouses and all the
colossal things that modern man needs.
San Francisco is warned 10y disaster
that she has been playing her luck too
far. and she proceeds to build Il city
earthquake proof. rs Galveston is build
ing tide proof. New York finds her
granite island too small for her growing
business and drives a tunnel under the
Hudson river through which hundreds
of thousands of people will o he
carried each day. Chicago has no
granite base, 80 she piles her skyscrapers
OH concrete boats sunk yards down
into the black mud of the lake bed, and
each anchored by concrete anchors to
the yet deeper mud below. And Sd it
goes.
What Il fairy tale it is; and how ut
terly it outclaSseS in interest and Won
der the romances of a half barbarous
age. Here n fairy waves a wand and
drives back the hungry sea. There Il
witch murmurs IL spell 10 stay the
trembling earth. In yet another place
a wizard throws forth steel threads like
spiders webs, which become highways
on which men pass to and from the
Island Of Gold. And in all places,
lahoring names ply strange labors in
the depths of the earth. while the
sprites of upper air build towers TO
scale the clouds. If Hans Anderson
had boon a prophet, and had embodied
these things in his fairy tales, how the
wise world would have laughed ut his
folly.-ROck Mountain News.

Hendricks Pleads for Liberty

E. S. Kendrick, who is serving Il life
sentence i'll the state prison for h
murder of Otto Hugo in LamOille valley
over 20 years ago, has written a letter
to the public, III which he defends him
self from the charge that, if pardoned,
he would return and kill the rest of
his family. He states that since he has
been i'm prison he has sent money to his
wife and children. all of which was
returned, except about $500 his wife
received from his pension. This, he
claims, does not Indicate that he bears
any malice toward his family. He also
states that during the time he has been
in prison there is not u record of punish
ment against him.
The murder of which Hendricks was
convicted was cruel and cowardly. hut
it was no more 81 than the assaults
made on Tom Henry 10y young Tread
we'll Il few years ago. For these
assaults, Trcadwell was convicted and
sent to the penitentiary, but was
pardoned in IL few months. Ii was nc
fault of Trcadwell that Tom Henry
lived, but with all the facts before
them the board Of pardons turned him
loose. Since that pardon was granted,
the writer has felt more Incrciful
toward Hendricks. 1t has been difficult
for him to see the justice Of keeping
Hendricks in prison and giving sucf
men as Trcadwell their liberty.

The Eureka Bali Gam,

The Eureka Seminal gives the follow
ing version of the trouble ut the ball
game between the Elko and Eureka
mines u week ago last Sunday:
Eat the close Of the seventh inning an
occurrence took place which married the
one of the Elko players. Joe Snelson,
was taken out of the game and q sub
stitute put in his place. While Eureka
was at the bat and one of their men on
first base, Enreku's third baseman. \.
p. Mallon. went to first base 10 coach
for the Eureka team. Snelson, the re-
tired Elko player was already there
roofing.
'.Mallon asked Snelson to get off the
coach line, telling him he had 10 right
there. Spelson, however, refused TODD
so, and after some words had been
exchanged between the two men.
Mallon pushed Snelson off the coach
line by placing his open hand on Smell
sons face. the latter being forced back
into the crowd. As he vas going back
he stopped down and picked up Il rock
and began abusing Mallon
Zone of the bystanders called Mallons's
attention to the kind of language Smell
son was using. and Mallon started after
Snelson again, and when within three
feet of him Snelson threw the rock.
striking Mallon over the left temple.
Blood Immediately began to flow
from the wound. at the sight of which
after the cause had been ascertained,
the crowd became greatly excited, and
it looked for a while rs if there would
be n general frce.for-all fight, but owing
to the good work of the officers. order
was soon restored and the game was
proceeded with.
The Sheriff then took Snelsnn OFF the
grounds.
Sunday evening the District Attorney
made ont n complaint against Snelson
at the request of the complaining wit
ness, Mallon, but Justice of the Peace
L. w. Cromer, upon examination of the
complaining witness, i'll which he stated,
the Justice says, that he (Malloni began
the trouble i'll pushing Snelson off the
coach line by placing his open hand on
the formers face, refused to issue "a
warrant, rs he did not believe a convic-
tion could he secured Of the statement
made by the complaining witness"
The Sentinel omits to state that the
district attorney collected $50 from Smell
son OH the complaint he made ont. This
amount Justice Cromer has Informed
District Attorney Taber will be returned
to Snelson on II receipt being received
from Mr.. Tabcr. The district attorney
of Eureka county is left in rather a bad
light by the action of Justice Cromcr.
