Sheriff Smith and Deputy Joe Cook reached Prescott last night at : o'clock from the scene of yesterdays shooting at the Sweeney & Anderson mining camp, near Thumb Butte, bringing the news that Anderson was found dead in his cabin door when they reached the place.
 He succumbed to his wounds a few minutes after he was shot, ac cording to the information given the officers by an Italian employe. While no witnesses were present at the tragedy, information was learned which throws much light on the shoot ing.
 The officers learned John Bryant claimed Anderson owed him $9s on a personal account, and that he was anxious to have the money. Bryant claimed that this sum was not a com pany affair, but had accrued months before MT. Sweeney became asso- ciated with the mining enterprise.
 Thursday, Bryant went to the camp and is said to have made the remark that Anderson owed him the above sum, asking for his whereabouts, and being informed that he was in Pres colt, returned to his cabin, about one mile distant.
 Friday morning he returned and again made inquiry of the whereabouts of Anderson, it is said. He was told that Anderson was still in this city. At noon Bryant made his second ap- pearanee at the boarding house, and was informed that Anderson was ex- pected at almost any moment.
 On these trips to the camp Bryant is said to have carried in his hand a shotgun. On his last trip he looked down the road, and not seeing anyone coming, left the place, and was not seen again until after the tragedy was enacted.
 The first intimation that trouble was occurring was the report of two shots, heard by an Italian. One, he says, was a light report and the other a heavy one. Leaving his cabin to investigate, the Italian says he met Bryant face to face, preparing to reload his gun, as he was rerreating from the Anderson cabin.
 With a most remarkable coolness, Bryant asked for piece of paper, on which he wrote with a lead pencil, the following:
 ''J. Smith: Come up. Sam Ander- son is badly hurt.
 "JoHN BRYANT"
 Bryant then left the premises, and the Italian took the note and gave it to Miss Virgie Hite, a school teacher, at the same time informing her that MT. Anderson had been shot and was dying.
 David Miller, aD employe of the mine, was apprised of the shooting, and hurried to the cabin immediately, arriving a few minutes later. Ander- son was dead when Miller reached his side, the body lying as it fell, with 32-caliber pistol at his side
 After the note was delivered to Miss Hite, and realizing that it was absolutely necessary to have a phy- sician in attendance, this nervy little school teacher rushed to the stable nearby and saddling the fleetest ami nal there, made a record breaking ride to the city.
 Although the shooting occurred few minutes after o'clock, Miss Hite, her horse covered with father, reached the court house at 4:45 p. m., making the ride of over seven long miles, on dangerous ground, in thirty minutes.
 She had kept her horse at almost full speed the entire distance, never drawing rein until she reached the court house plaza, where she delivered the note to the office, and then, in

LlGHTNING's QUEER STUNTS

Lightning has been known to play
sey brand which struck the home of
John Alderman in Rochelle Park. N.
j., a few days ago seems to have
done more queer things in a moment
than had been done since Ajax defled

One side of the hall was ripped out

into the parlor. where broken lamp

Then 1t journeyed to the dining
room, where Mr.. Alderman was sit
ting. The walls, blackened scared
and bulged out on three sides, show
that the bolt struck the room in
three places, and Alderman is still
marveling how it was that the light
ming flashed all around without ever
touching him.
In the kitchen was an old-fashioned
clock, quite heavy and fully two feet
in height. The lightning removed this
from the kitchen and deposited the
wreck in the dining room. The west
side of the kitchen wall was blown
out The kitchen floor was blown up
ward. The kitchen table was splin-
tered into bits aud the range was
shattered into many pieces.
A young woman next door was wri-

peared as the bolt shook the place.
Yet, strange to say, although there
were four persons in the house at the
time not one of the occupants suf-
fered any injury from the freakish
bolt, other than the shocked surprise
that would be expected on such an
exciting occasion.

Mans Sense Of Ambition.

Although imitation is one of the
great instruments used by Providence
in bringing our nature towards its
perfection, yet if men gave them
selves up to imitation entirely, and
each followed the other, and so on
in an eternal circle. it is easy to see
that there never could be any i'm
provement amongst them. Men must
remain as brutes do, the same at the
end as they are at this day, and
that they were in the beginning Of
the world To prevent this, God has
implanted In man q sense of ambi
ton, and satisfaction arising from
the contemplation Of his excelling his
fellows in something deemed valuable
amongst them It is this passion that
drives men to all the ways we see
in use of SIGNALLING themselves, and
that tends to make whatever excites
in man the idea of this distinction
so very pleasant. 1t has been so very
strong as to make very miserable
men take comfort that they were SUI,
preme in misery and certain it is
that, where we cannot distinguish
ourselves by something excellent, we
begin to take complacency in some
singular infirmities, follies. or defects
of one kind or other.-Burke.

MODE OF GARDEN OF EDEN
Art Instructor Advises Women to
Study Leaves in Designing
of Dresses.

As all know. Eve, the first lady Of
the land, made herself a dress of fie
leaves. The gown was an immense
success, extremely fashionable; every
woman alive wore IT.
Now, after all these years, comes
Henry Turner Bailey, who would re
vive the fall mode Of the garden OF
Eden, says the Baltimore Star AT
least, Mr.. Bailey, head Of the art In.
struction department Of the board OF
education, implores women to study
the leaves Of plants and trees and
model their gowns after them
Women need not go to Paris for
their gowns" said Mr. Bailey. They
can find the most exquisite styles by
simply studying the weeds that grow
in our back yards or the leaves Of trees
or ferns. If every part of dress we're
as consistently harmonized in its rela-.
tive lines as a leaf. that dress would
be well worth wearing"
If Mr.. Bailey were not an art in
structor he would be baseball pitch
er, for he knows all about curves.
He proceeds to advise separately wo-
men slender as the lily, women built
like a cauliflower and women who are
just peaches. Says he:
1T will not take any woman of taste
very long to decide which leaf repre-
sents the style that becomes her fig
ure. If she is stout or inclined to
stoutness she will select as her in
spiration and model those leaves or
flowers that have the sharper angles
and thinner curves. Take the white
oak leaf with every one Of its curves
a reversed curve, and the woman to
whom that kind Of general design ap.
plies will have at once an inspirations
"For the woman of less pronounced
type there may be found another in.
SEPARATION In the bud of the lilac, which
has gentle reversed curves all through
1t. Then again we find that the St
Johns wort has series of little
ellipses all through it's foliation. The
delicate curves of the wild bean are
extremely suggestive to any person
who will study them, and it seems to
me that the average type Of American
beauty could find in it an inspiration
for dress, just as the type inclined
to stoutness would find an inspiration
also in the common rosacea, or mem
Der of the rose family"
Wedding gowns will follow the
curves Of the orange leaf, but widows
who marry the second time will build
their bridal dresses on the model OF
the chestnut leaf. Small babies long
dresses will be curved as is the Leaf
of the milkweed
And so on.

Automobile Nerve.

One of the nerviest spectacles ever
seen on an auto raceway occurred In
the Long Island stock car derby at
Riverhead last September. Herbert
Bailey, mechanician for Louis Disbrow
and his No. 1, literally shook hands
with death. When the car had passed
the stand on its fourth lap and was
two miles from the repair pits the pin
fell out of the reach rod. disabling the
steering gear. The machine threat
ened to become unamanageable.
What did Bailey do but climb out
over the hod. lower himself down on
the little cranking rod, and sit facing
the radiator with his feet propDed
against the front axle With one hand
he prevented himself from being
dashed under the wheels by holding on
to the little water cap on the top OF
the hood. The other hand held the
disabled steering gear together. Bal
ley rode 20 miles in that manner,
with the car going full speed. until the
circuit was completed and the repair
pits were -Hampton's Maya

Away rup in Klamah county, Ore.
gon, are located vast forest belts and
the lumber industry is maintained on
very extensive scale. Many of these
heavy timber belts are remote from
either railway lines, or even logging
roads Huge logging" carts are ex-
tensively used in these regions in
hauling the big heavy saw cuts from
the forest depths TO the various mills,
where they are reduced to lumber.
They are all two-wheeled. and CON
structed so as to sustain very heavy
weight. The wheels are about -
feet in diameter, length of axletree
7 feet The hub, spokes. axletree and
felloes are all built of very tough,
solid wood--usually of oak or hickory;
however, the tire is of thick broad
steel.
The log, or logs, are suspended to
the axletree by heavy chain, and
nearly balanced--the hind ends barely
dragging, so as to greatly reduce the
force in hauling. Horses and oxen
are both used in this logging business,
and as many animals as may be re-
quired may be attached to one cart.
The wheels are so large that they
move with comparative ease over
large distractions, and along very
rough, mountainous roads 1t would
be next to impossible to carry on the
lumber industry in those wild regions
without the use of these huge logging
carts. as they are called. These carts
are the largest vehicles of the kind
on the Pacific coaster perhaps In
the United States. The cart alone
weighs nearly a ton.

SNAKE is BABYS MASCOT

The following story. taken from a
Purulia (India) paper, has the flavor
of the Arabian Nights:
"A child was born to a Brahman in
the village of Shapur six months ago,
and since the very date Of birth a
serpent has been constant attendant
on the babe. One day the reptile was
caught and thrown in the river At
night the Hrahman heard the serpent
say to him in dream, If you kill
me I shall completely destroy your
family If you do not. / shall not
harm you, but IN the contrary. do
you good Since this oracle from the
serpent the Brahman and the mem
bers of his family have left 1t alone.
when the child is on the ground
asleep or awake the serpent spreads
its hood over it's head like an UNI
brella- When the child is on the bed
the reptile quietly lays itself down
under the cot. Once the child's
mother took the child to the house OF
a relation near. The father was fol-
lowing her with an umbrella under
his arm. On opening the umbrella he
saw that the serpent was inside it.
He threw 1t away, but it forthwith
returned to his house.
'The serpent is still there. The
Brahman gives the reptile milk twice
day, which he drinks"

Captain Brabazon related how he
managed to save himself from drown

water he was wearing his heavy sea
boots, which. when filled with water,
prevent a man from swimming and
bear him to the bottom like weights
Of lead. When the captain sank to
the bottom of the channel he stuck
the heavy sea boots deep in the soft
mud and succeeded in Withdrawing
his feet. Then he struck for the sur
face and swan ashore.
