1t was recalled one evening not long
ago at the Wickiup that the affair with
Sinclair had all taken place within a
period of two years, and that practical
ly all Of the actors in the event had
been together and in friendly relation
on a Thanksgiving day at the Dunning
ranch not so very long before the trou-
BILE began. Dicksie Dunning was away
at school at the time, and Lance Dun.
ming was celebrating with a riding and
shooting fest and a barbecue.
The whole country had been invited.
Bucks was in the mountains on an in
spection trip, and Bill Dancing drove
him with a party of railroad men over
from Medicine Bend. The mountain
men for $50 miles around were out.
Gene and Bob Johnson, from Oroville
and the Peace river, had come with
their friends. From Williams Cache
there was not only a big delegation
more of n than was really desirable
but. 1t was led by old John Rebstock
himself. When the invitation is gem
eral, lines cannot be too closely drawn.
Not only was Lance Dunning some
thing of a sport himself, but on the
Long Range 1t is part Of a stockman's
creed to be on good terms with his
neighbors. At a Thanksgiving day bar
becue not even a mountain sheriff
would ask questions.
Among the railroad people were
George McCloud, Anderson, the assis-
tant superintendent, Farrell Kennedy,
chief OF the special service, and his
right-hand man, Bob Scott. In espe-
cial, Sinclair's presence at the barbe-
cue was recalled. He had some cronies
with him from among his up-country
following, and was introducing his
new bridge foreman. Karg, afterward
known as Flat Nose, and George Sea
grue, the Montana cowboy. Sinclair
fraternized that day with the Williams
Cache men, and it was remarked even
then that though a railroad man he APP
peared somewhat outside the railroad
circle. When the shooting matches
were announced a brown-eyed railroad
man was asked to enter. He had been
out Of the mountains for some time
and was a comparative stranger
in the gathering, but the VIII
! liams Cache men had not for
gotten him; Rebstock, especially,
wanted to see him shoot. While much
Of the time out Of the mountains on
railroad business, he was known to be
closely in Bucks counsels, and as to
the mountains themselves, he was re-
puted to know them better than Bucks
or Glover himself knew them. This
was Whispering Smith; but, beyond
. low-yoiced greeting or an expression
OF surprise at meeting an old nc.
quaintance. he avoided talk. When
urged to shoot he resisted all PERSIA
sion and backed up his refusal by
showing a bruise on his trigger finger.
He declined even to net as judge In

RAILROAD BONDS.
Points to Be consIdered by the Intend

From Moody's Magazine.

From Moody's Magazine.
 Practically in no important railroad bond do we find 1t to be first mortgage on the entire property. The explanation Is just this: On one of the small por- tions of the system an old mortgage may rest. Whom this portion is joined with other small lines into large system a broad general mortgage is Issued to cover the whole system.
 This mortgage cannot supercede the original lien on the small line, 30 be- comes a second lien on 1t. If any part of the large system has no mortgage on It, then this one becomes first on that part Of course the exact position Of bond can be determined by study or the mortgage deed itself
 The bond buyer should therefore con- slider the amount and character Of the prior lien bonds ranking ahead of his on the same mileage. He should also consider the amount of junior liens fol- lowing his. These junior bonds give him a fair idea of the estimation In which the property Is held; he has the satisfac- lion of knowing the market quotation of obligations ranking after his own And If the contingency of foreclosure and reorganization be regarded, these junior securities would act as ounsr for him in protecting their own interest
 In a certain sense junior securities may be considered as enhancing the value of any prior obligation. The cre- ation of refuding or consonoaseo mortgage, in fact any general mortgagA and the issuance of bonds hereunder Ia practically certain to strengthen tho security of existing bonds, for the pro- ceeds derived from a good part of these bonds are usually put into the property. Improvements are carried out, facilities are enlarged and expenditures arc made

FISHING IN AFRICAN RIVER.
A Sixty Founder That Furnished Som,
 Exciting Sport.

From the Youths Companion.
 One can easily imagine that after feed ing for many weeks upon hippopotamus steaks. the flesh of elephants and other coarse food of that nature fish of ale most any variety would form an agree able and pleasing change. Such, at all events. was the opinion of Sir Samuel Baker, who, after a long march in Af- rica, through wild and dangerous country, arrived upon the borders of q broad river. He took his fishing rod. and wandering up stream cast his lino over the water in the hope of enticing some beauty of the deep to take issue with him
 'T put on large bait and threw it About 70 yards into the river, well up the stream. and allowed the float to sweep the water in a half circle, thus taking the chance of different distances from the shore.
 For about half an hour nothing l moved was just preparing to alter
 my position when out rushed my line. and striking hard. believe I fixed tho old gentleman himself for I had no control over him whatever
 Holding him was out of the question. The line flew through my hands and cut them till the blood flowed, and I was obliged to let the fish take its own way. This he did for about 60 yards, when he suddenly stopped. This unexpected halt was great calamity, for the reel overran itself. having no check wheel, and the slack coils of the line caught the handle just as he rushed forward again and with jerk that nearly pulled the rod from my hands he was gone. "I found one of the large hooks broken
 short of. The fish was monster. After this bad luck I had no run un- tli the evening, when. putting on a large
 bait and fishing at the tail of rock be- tween the stream and still water, once more had a grand rush and hooked big one.
 There were no rocks down stream. all was fair play and clear water. and away he went at racing pace straight for the middle of tho river To check the pace. I grasped the line with the stun of my
 loose trousers and pressed 1t between
 my fingers 50 as to act as a brake and
 compel him to labor for every yard: but he pulled like a horse and nearly cut through the thick cotton cloth. making straight running for at least a hundred yards without halt.
 "I now put so severe Q strain upon
 him that my strong bamboo bent nearly
 double, and the fish presently % far
 yielded to the pressure that I could en-
 force his running in half circles instead
 of straight away.
 '1 kept gaining line until at length I
 led him into a shallow bay. and after a
 great fight Bachet embraced him by
 falling upon him and clutching the mon-
 ster with hands and knees; ne then
 tugged to the shore magnificent nsh
 of upward of 60 pounds.
 For about 20 minutes he had fought
 against such a strain as I had never De-
 fore used upon fish. It measured three
 feet eight inches to the root of the tall
 and two feet three inches in girth or
 shoulders, and the head measured one
 foot ton inches in circumference-

Ensley, December 1S.-(Special.) .)--Much speculation is being indulged in as to who will be the officers elected by the City Council of Birmingham to guide the affairs of Ensley. As it seems to be def inttely settled that only two aldermen VIII be selected the question arises who will be named It is generally conceded that Capt. P. J. Rogers. president of the coun- cil, will be selected. His long exper- fence in city affairs, his integrity and uprightness, his firm dignity and unques- toned ability eminently fit him for one of the places As to the other one the present members of the city council pre- sent such merit as to make the choice dif- ficult. Among those mentioned are George R. Byrum, R. T. Mcleod, M II. Mcdowell, N. B. Stack and ". J. Bridg- man.
 The office of recorder is also much dis cussed and it Is stated that dark horse" will be sprung as a candidate at the last moment. The names of the as- pirants have already been published The city council will conclude the session now in recess Monday night, when the final affairs of the city government will be closed up and everything gotten in shape to turn over the reins of the city govern ment to the officials of the greater city.

The Lawyers Function.


 Donald R. Richberg In the October Att lantic
 In the realm of advice a lawyer may choose between counselng his client how to uphold the rights secured to him by the justice of his cause, or how to ob- tain benefits from the application of technicalities and the use of the weak nesses of the particular statute or pre- cedent under consideration, whereby he may attain advantage inconsistent with fair play between man and man. Every time a lawyer encourages such an appli- cation of the law as, resulting in injus- tice. casts disrepute upon the law, or it's administration, he Is plainly promoting discord either in the present or the fu- ture Every time lawyer counses con troversy for the establishment of a right as recognized by existing law, or for the promulgation of new law beneficial to the majority of society, he is exercising his true function and the charge which he lays upon his individual client and. through him, upon, industry and prog ress in the mass, if reasonable in amount. js well earned and should be cheerfully paid When, however a lawyer gives the other kind of advice, the expense. per- haps cheerfully borne by the client who profits personally therefrom, must be finally laid upon society as whole, which is thereby paying for its own in- jury, and naturally resents the charge.

Enslev. october -(Special)-When asked as to the status of the new school buildings and the delay in starting the construction of the High school building' l Hoke Perkins. vice president of the Board of Education and a member of the building committee, stated During the summer we have been busily engaged In erecting two new grammar schools, re- modelling the Wylam building, spending over $500 thereon. and renovating and repairing the other schools. 1t is a diff cult matter to properly supervise as many as four buildings at one time, especially if one were a building of as much inn portaace as a high school.
 "The school board thought best, there fore to provide for the grades first, and construct adequate grade buildings, thus accommodating the greatest number with the least expense. It has been our aim to look carefully after every detail of the construction from a sanitary and educa- tional as well as from an architectural standpoint.
 We wish to avoid If possible mistakes such as have been made in some of the buildings erected in recent years in this district where means of mechanical Ventl- lation have been overlooked, even though a mechanical heating system had been in stalled. We wish to avoid all such errors in the future
 ''The school board books are open and every interested citizen is welcome to eX- anime them as to the expenditure of the funds.
 Anyone who knows anything about the construction of large, modern buildings in times and places where the building bust , ness is lively knows that unavoidable de- lays are frequent It is better to proceed cautiously in the expenditure of the peo- ple's money The High school building will be ready for occupancy by next ses- sion.
 T noted report in an afternoon paper with respect to the report of the school board to the city council. The report was spoken of as silent on the expenditure of the SlO0, GOO bond issue. The report con- prised a book of 125 pages, including Is illustrations, and is complete in every detail.
 It is not customary or legal to report more than once year to the council, nor is it customary or necessary to report except in a general way the progress Of construction work as it proceeds. In the next annual report a full statement will be made as to the use of the $l00000 bond money issued for constructing and equip ping schools
