made Sunday by . Routt county
ranchman. Albert Sellers, who has .

ranch on lower Snake river, IL the
hero of the occasion.
''Sellers came to Craig Saturday to
make final proof on his homestead
and on his way home he rode across
the head Of Horse gulch. About
twelve miles from town he noticed
some wolf tracks in the trail and
followed them to what proved to be
den. He got on his horse and found
that the den was occupied, but here

without weapon of any kind except
m ordinary pocketknife. Sellers 10 .
ranchman and consequently . deadly
enemy to the wolves who have made
such depredations among the stock

during the past season, 10 he deter

den. He succeeded in thoroughly
plugging up the opening 70 that the
wolves could not escape and then
hurried to some nearby cedars and
cut stick which he sharpened. Then
estimating the distanceat which he
believed the animals were located
back from the opening he commenced
Ito dig down to them. After consid.
cradle labor with his primitive Inn
|plements he finally broke through
Into the lair which he found was
occupied by . mother wolf and nine
Ecubs. Before the mother wolf could
defend herself he ran the sharp cedar
stick completely through her, killing
her instantly. He then took the pelt
from the mother wolf, killed the cubs
Iand took them with him to Lay
where he spent the night

Dear SIR
In response to your inquiry as
to what I think of ~ Banks"
want to say for over ten years I
have been troubled with acute
Indigestion, constipation and
other stomach disabilities and
have tried time and time again
many remedies, but until I had
the good fortune to run into
4 Barks," I was still unbene-
fitted.
Have used only one bottle of
"a Barks'' and am wonderfully
improved. Had a recent attack
of the measles and the easy time
experienced I attribute to my
good condition caused by the use
of "a Banks" I thank you for
telling me about this wonderful
remedy and assure you too much
can't be said in its favor.
Yours very truly,

| RAIN Of AETNA LAVA
| BURIES SICILY HOMES
| Four New Craters Disgorge Fiery
Streams, but Crisis Is Be-
lieyed Past.
PEASANTS FLEE FROM HOMES
Vineyards and Fields for Miles
Around Devastated by Eruption
and Accompanying Quake.

An official report upon volcanic dis
turbances in the Mount Etna district
confirms reports that the situation is
grave, but holds out the hope that the
worst is over. The craters that prop
erly may be described as new appear
to be only four in number. These
have opened at the foot Of Mount Cas-
teIlazzo, four miles in the air line from
the summit of Mount Etna. The four
streams emitted from these craters
have united at the foot of Mount Cas-
tellazZo and formed a great river of
lava that is bringing death and des-
olation into the invaded districts.
Plants trees, whole vineyards and or
chards have been destroyed by the
consuming flood. The lava river has
extended nearly fifteen miles from its
source.
In the path Of the advancing food
the people are in great terror and
thousands abandoned their homes. The
roaring of Mount Etna continues with
out interruption and rain of cinders
fell for miles around. Several houses
of peasants already have been de-
stroyed and it is feared that if the
flow does not cease soon the flood will
enter Borrelo. Caravans of peasants
carrying all their household goods and
all of their transportable possessions
are moving to places of safety. In
their distress they present a pathetic
sight. At many homes the molten mass
has entered the cisterns and caused de-
structive explosions

Manufacture of Salt.

Salt is obtained in the United States
in several different forms and ways
From the mines it comes in blocks
and from strong brines it is obtained
by evaporation or boiling by solar 81
artificial heat. Boiling is either con
Quoted by putting it into long wooden
troughs containing steam pipes, or IN
large open pans of iron or steel with
direct heat beneath them, or in large
vacuum pans in which the brine Is
boiled at a comparatively low pres
sure, or it is heated in closed tubes at
a temperature much higher than that
at which brine boils under ordinary
ATMOSPHERIC pressure.

EARLIEST .DRY FARMERS. ,,
How Navajo Indians Cultivated

How Navajo Indians Cultivated
Scant Patches in the Desert.
Physically, morally and intellectual
ly the Navajo is superior to other
nomadic tribes, such as the Utes.
Apaches, Comanches, Sioux and
Cheyennes. He has always been self
supporting. receiving no rations or
other assistance from the government.
When there is work to be had within
their capacity the men labor willingly
and efficiently, grading on the rail
roads, constructing irrigation reser-
voirs and bitches and wedding or har-
vesting sugar beets in the beet fields
of Colorado.
They cultivate their scanty patches
of corn and beans on thousands of
places in the desert, having been real
dry farmers" centuries before the
Campbell system was born of the brain
of the Nebraska experimenter or the
Dry Farming Congress that meets in
October in Billings, Mont, conceived
Of They build their humble hogans
of stone or of timber banked up with
clay, wherever there happens to be
water for their iocks and herds.
They are neither nomads, like the
wandering tribes of the plains, nor set
tied agriculturists, like the Pueblos,
but rather Bedouins of the American
desert, moving when necessary to Sc
cure better pasturage or more
abundant supply of water for their
livestock. Their blankets, woven ex-
clusively by their squaws, have made
their tribal name a household word
wherever barbaric beauty or next to
everlasting durability is prized.-Los

GEN. GRANTS WOUND.
Youthful Fred d. Is Declared Not to
Have Been Hurt in Line of Duty.

Have Been Hurt in Line of Duty.
February 20 was the forty-seventh
anniversary of the day that Maj. Gen.
the siege of Vicksburg-the event
which has been the basis of the de-
mand by Vice President Sherman that
Gen. Grant be enrolled as a Civil War
veteran.
Dr. C. A. Blake, of West Broolzf1eld,
has come out with evidence to show
that the wound received by Gen. Grant
was not in the line of military duty.
The man who handled the rife which
was responsible for the wound, says
Dr. Blake, was the late Caleb Perry,
for many years a carpenter on the
State farm at Bridgewater and prior
to that a hunter and sharpshooter of
note
At the beginning of the siege of
Vicksburg Perry was stationed about
the regular Union forces on the Mis-
sissippi River, with orders to shoot at
all persons and craft attempting to
pass him without permission. The
boy Grant and companion, according
to the story related to DR.. Blake by
Perry, were in camp with their parents
and went out on excursions, which
had nothing to do with military duty
and which frequently placed them IN
jeopardy.
On the night of February 20, 1868,
so Perry's story goes, the two boys
were out in a canoe, and in returning
to camp passed the spot where the
sharpshooter lay concealed. Perry said
they did not heed his warning to stop,
and, after firing in the air, he took
aim and wounded young Grant. The
next day Perry was called on the car
pet, for it had been ascertained by
Gen. u. S. Grant that he was the man
responsible for the shooting. What
threatened to be, if not a court mar
tial, at least a severe lecture, turned
into dismissal from headquarters when
he exhibited his order to shoot all who
passed without needing his warning.
Perry puts Gen. Grant on record as
being moved almost to tears when he
found that his son had unwittingly
strayed into the trap set by Union sol
diers for Confederate soldiers, and the
outcome of the affair was that Fred
got more of a reprimand than had been
originally intended for Perry.-Boston

Missing Ships.

Men go down to the sea under bill
lowing canvas in fewer and fewer num-
bers, the tin kettle" tramp now doing
the old clippers work, but Neptune
still exacts his toll from the square
rugged ships that are fated to float out
upon the oceans, bound 10000 miles or
more, and never again be heard of.
Ten big sailers thus vanished in 1908.
Last year eight wind-jammers of large
burden were recorded on the worlds
log of missing ships. One was an
American, the four-masted Fort George
of Ito net tons, and there are few
enough of ours left Most of them are
swallowed on Cape Horn voyages

GIVE UP HEREDITARY SEATS.
Lords Vote to Accept Principle of
Roseberry Resolution.

By vote OF IT'S to II the House of
Lords in London renowned the heredi-
tary right to legislate which has been
the cardinal element of the British up
per house for centuries The occasion
of the fateful division was Lord Rose
bery's third resolution deAling with
the reform of the house.
The house agreed the previous day
that reform and reconstruction was
necessary. The complementary reso-
luton was passed was that a neces-
sary preliminary to such reform and
reconstruction is acceptance of the
principle that possession of a peerage
should no longer of itself give the right
to sit and vote in the House of Lords
1t is significant that fewer than 200
of the GIG members of the house
shared in the fateful division. Many
of the absentees were reluctant to
sanction the extinction of the heredi-
tary principle. Nevertheless, they so
far recognized its expediency as not to
oppose it.

As a calm follows storm, the
House of Representative met in sol
emn session Sunday TO pay tribute to
one of its late membe Robert c.
Davy of Louisiana. Only one mem
ber,. Representative Townsend Of Mich
igan, made reference to the exciting
incidents of the last few days on the
floor, when he said, in introducing his
remarks: L am much impressed with
the difference Of the scenes now and
those Of a few hours ago" Repre-
sentative Broussard Of Louisiana occu-
pied the chair during the session, ex-
cept for time enough to deliver his
eulogy Of his late colleague. The 9TH
er speakers were Messrs. Wagner of
Pennsylvania, Adamson of Georgia,
Gilmore, RansdeIl, Pujo and Estopinal
of the Louisiana delegation. Other
members who did not speak were
granted permission to print their eu-
logies in the Record.

Untold Riches.

Wealth is merely comparative. Ones
possessions constitute a pittance or a
fortune, according to ones point of
view. The Rev. Frederic Denison tells
story of one of the inhabitants of
old Westerly, Rhode Island, which
shows there is no general standard of
riches. The young man, prompted by
patriotism and desire for gold, had
enlisted in the uncertain business of
privateering.
On returning home after many and
various cruises, he was thankfully
greeted by his kin and anxious friends.
His mother, with maternal solicitude,
inquired:
well, Harry, how have you made
out? Did you get much money!"
"Oh yes, mother" answered the adj
venturer, 81 had good luck l am rich.
l shall have enough, with prudence
and care, to carry me through life, I
hope"
q am glad, my son. How much
have your"
We'll, don't exactly know yet, but
I think when we settle up it will
amount to thirty dollars"
Not Inch of Healthy Skin Left.
My little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. Al
the time | was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that | had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get we'll, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

The Senate again Friday refused to
accede to Senator Elkins' request that
a day be fixed for vote on the admin
istration's railroad bill. A suggestion
was made that month or more might
be required for the debate on that
measure. Senator Bailey announced
he had received assurances that be-
fore adjournment there would be a
vote on the statehood bill. The new
committee on rules of the House of
Representatives as provided for by the
Norris resolution, was elected without
debate. The members selected by the
Republican and Democratic caucuses
were named in a resolution brought in
by Mr.. Currier of New Hampshire.
General debate upon the naval appro-
priation bill was begun. Mr.. Bartholdt
OF Missouri spoke in favor of arbitra-
ton and urged the adoption of naval
program to include but one battle
ship annually, which would, he said,
be sufficient to maintain the navy at
its present strength.

DRAG HOUSES TO HILLS,
Residents Take Flight When the
Missouri River Leaves Bed.

Residents Take Flight When the
Missouri River Leaves Bed.
The Missouri river has taken a no.
ton to overwhelm the little town of
Barney, Neb., and practically the en-
tire town is on the move, the proper
ty owners getting their houses back
to the hills as fast as possible.
A month ago Barney was two miles
from the river. To-day the stream is
right in the town. When the high
waters came with the breaking I'D of
the ice in February the current of the
Missouri was thrown against the
farms between Barney and the river.
Those farms have been cut away en-
tirely, and the other day the citizens
began moving their houses.
An eighty-foot steel bridge over a
tributary of the river was taken down
piecemeal and hauled to the hills Now
the river is flowing where yesterday
was the bridge. The schoolhouse was
moved, as was the big grain elevator
and a number of houses. Two miles
of Burlington railroad track was
washed away. A new town will DC
built on the hill beyond the reach of
the Missouri.
