To the Snyder Signal
A few weeks ago, a report was
published that Brother Tate, in
company with a party Whose
name / do not know came rear
being drowned in the Double
Mountain River. Since that time
several of my friends have been
making inquiry about the matter.
! wish to say that the Bro. Tate
mentioned above was not myself.
j have not seen the Double Noun
tain river this year. While / sym
pathize with the unfortunate par
ties, ! am glad that they escaped
with their lives.

Merely q Parable.

Just before the collection was
taken up a negro preacher announc-
ed that he regretted to state that q
certain brother had forgotten to lock
the door Of his chicken house the
night before and as a result he dis
covered in the morning that most OF
the fowls had disappeared.
Fl doan' want to be pussonel,
bredden," he added, ''but I hab my
s'picions dat pusson won't put any
money in de plate which will now
be passed 'roun."
The result was fine collection,
not a single member Of the congre-
cation feigning sleep. After the
money was counted the old parson
came forward.
''Now bredden," he said, 81 doan'
want yo' dinners to be spoilt by won-S
derin' where dat brudder libes who
doan lock his chickens up at night.
Dat brudder doan' exist, nah trien's.

On his work with the reins.

on his work with the reins.
Henry C.. Ward, better known as
Old Wardy, who graduated from
stage driver to Wells-Fargo gun mes
senger, was often on the seat with
Billy Hodges. AS gunman Wardy
made record, one occasion placing
him on a page of California history.
The stage was held up and in the
battle that followed Wardy's trigger
finger was shot of his right hand.
Bleeding as he was he sat there with
out a whimper until the robbers had
Secured their loot and departed. He
knew the Typography Of the country
thoroughly, and after the bandits
had disappeared around the hill he
stopped the stage and jumping down
ran around to the left Of the hill
where he knew the bandits would
come out on another road to divide
their spoil. He got there oppor-
tunely, caught them redhanded and
shot them down in spite Of his
MANNED hand.
During the years from 1870 to
1884 Wells Fargo lost, incidental
to robberies, s927,762.55. There
were during this time 313 stage hold
ups, "a attempted robberies and four
train robberies. More than 16
guards were killed or wounded, while
more than two dozen bandits were
killed, besides those sent to State
prison.-St Louis Post-Dispatcb.

WHO'S WHO In MAGISTRATES.
Proceedings to Settle MIDDLE in Spar
tanburg County are Called Off.

Spartanburg, Aug. 16.-The dis
pute as to whether Gov. Blease's ap-
pointees or their predecessors are
the legal magistrates in Spartanburg
county remains unsettled. The man
damus proceedings by which it was
expected to compel county commits
sioners to pay the fees of Frank Met
calf, constable for Magistrate ]. M.
Bowden, we're called of to-day.
Instead of arguing the case before
Justice Hydrick Of the supreme
court, as was proposed, counsel
agreed to bring the matter up In
common pleas court. It will be con-
tended that Constable Metcalf is en-
titled to his pay even though there is
a cloud on his title to the Office.
Magistrate A. H. Kirby declares
that Magistrate Bowden, who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Blease to succeed
Mai. Kirby, is not the legal magis-
trate because his appointment was
not made by and with the advice and
consent Of the senate. Because OF
the doubt raised the county commits
sioners have held up the pay Of both
the magistrates and their constables.
It is said that the settlement of Met
calf's claim will not involve the set
tlement of the magistratal muddle.

COTTON BILL PASSED WITH
OUT AID OF INSURGENTS
Situation Produced by Deliberate Absence from
Chamber of Regular Republicans
Gratis Proceed Despite Insurgents Rage.

sugar schedule, when it was offered
in his absence by Senator Jones, Of
Washington.
Progressive Republican Leader La
Toilette declared it was impossible
for the insurgents to vote for the
Democratic bill, while the Democrats
had agreed that if their bill was de-
feated, they would be willing to sup
port the LaFollette measure.
AS the progress of the vote show
ed that the Democrats had been given
clear majority by the absence of
the regular Republicans, the insur-
gents set out to get a vote on the
LaFollette compromise bill, which, it
had been expected, would be adopted
in place of the house bill.
LaFollette Bill Turned Down.
Senator LaFollette finally offered
his bill as a substitute for the house
bill and the amendments that had
been added to it. The LaFollette
substitute secured no votes, however,
but those of insurgents.
Then came the final vote on the
house cotton bill. Only the Demo-
Gratis voted for it, but as the roll
call progressed it became apparent
that many were absent or not voting,
slipping back into the cloak rooms
before their names were reached.
Those who kept track of the vote
realized tht the cotton bill had re-
ceived a favorable vote-29 to 10.
"The rule is plain" said Vice
President Sherman, when appealed
to to insist on senators voting or
giving their reason. s'The clerk will
call the names of those who did not
answer"
Senator Carter, of Kansas, who
announced that he was paired with
an absent senator and could not vote,
was forced to submit his case to the
senate on roll call before he was
permitted to observe the pair. On
roll call the clerk had the name OF
Senator Guggenheim called, and
there was no response. It was shown
that the Colorado senator had just
left the chamber.
Amended Bill Passed.
Following the various fights, there
came a second roll call on the pass
age of the bill as amended. This
time there was straight Democratic
majority of 29 to "a.
The amendments adopted were:
To revise the i1bn and steel sched-
ule, adopted, 20 to 10. Senators
Clapp and Work voted against this
amendment.
By Senator SIMMONS, Of North
Carolina, reducing the tariff on cot
ton machinery to 80 per cent. adopt
ed, sc to 22,.progressive Republicans
voting solidly with the Democrats.
BY Senator Overman, Of North
Carolina, revising chemical schedule,
adopted, 27 to p, progressive Re-
publicans all voting against it.
By Mr.. Watson, of West Virginia,
for reciprocal admission of bitumi-
nous coal across Canadian line,
adopted without division.

AND NOW SHE'S FRUSTRATED.
Young Man, Incited to Jealousy b.
Sweetheart. Kills Himself.

Arcadia, Fla, Aug. 17.-Despond-
ent because his 17-year-old sweet
heart insisted on going out with an
other young man, Aldin Anderson,
member of well-known Plant City
family, placed the muzzle of a shot
gun in his mouth and blew out his
brains here this morning. He pulled
the trigger with his toe.
The young woman il prostrated
over the affair.

arms. Again in 1888 Billy Hodges
was held up by Black Bart and his
coach robbed.
Another famed bandit who ex-
changed the courtesies Of the road
with him was Tiburcio Vasquez,
heartless wretch, who after a long
criminal career was captured and
hanged at San Jose in 1875. Before
the interesting event, however, Vas
quez introduced himself to Hodges
by shooting a hole through his hat.
On the famous Geiger Grade, about
four miles from Virginia City, Billy
faced the rifles of six bandits and the
treasure box was dynamited, the rob-
bers carrying away more than sS,-
900. Again he was stopped near Vir-
ginia City. This was in 1865, and
in Six Mile Canyon, below the Gould
& Curry mill. The team was forced
to stop by barricade of old sluice
b ,xes, which the bandits had placed
across the road. The five despe-
radoes robbed all the passengers save
one, a pretty schoolma'am.
The notorious John Wheeler and
party undertook to stop Hodges at
Robbers Bend, near the Nevada line.

The lnQ1anS SurrOuuQeu the pass,
blocking all outlets, and for eight
days the small band held out and
fought.
On the eighth day Hodges realiz-
ing that if no help came soon it
would mean their death said, "I'll go
to Tucson"
There was a protest from his as
sociates, but before his insistence the
others gave way. To get to Tucson
for aid meant his passing through
the zone of fire. There was scarce
ly any hope of getting away without
being seen and the moon was bright
and clear. The only chance lay in
dash.
Then there came one to him in the
dead of night and the young driver
hear a soft voice murmur "Will you
take me along?"
1t was during lull in the inter-
mittent firing and Hodges had al
most proclaimed himself ready. The
horses were harnessed to the coach,
but his hand halted in the act of TAX
ing the reins. He looked down at
the pleading face of young woman,
the sole passenger of the relay coach
which had been delayed, and was
even now detained at this fort, the
driver not being daring enough to

Importers Tactics

The ways of the importers arc
strange and mcomprehensible to the
man in the street
New york papers have been specu-
ating Oh the reasons that led fruit
importers to ship thousands of boxes
of lemons from Sicily to New York
and then re-eXport them to Canada,
Hamburg and other foreign marke It's.
one explanation was that this was
done while the tariff tight was on I'm
Washington, ana lemons being too
cheap in eastern markets to permit
the importers to allcge that the tariff
was showing prices up too high, they
tried to create a scarcity by divcrtiug
lemons to other, and more profitable
markets, and cause the price in New
York to to go high enough to give
them an argument They showed i'm
cidentally, how completely they con-
troll the market and how easily they
could manipulate prices if they had
free entry and could thereby keep
the domestic product beyond the
Mississippi" as they formerly did be
fore the enactment of the Payne

MARRIAGE LICENSES
INDEX FOR COUNTY
County Clerk Barr at Work on
Set Of Six Indexes That Will
Make Record Complete

County Clerk Barr and his force
are at work on six volumes that will
give Yakima county the most com
plete marriage license indexes of any
county III the state. This work has
been under contempla ton for some
time and it finally became necessary
to have some complete and easy ref
erence that would give the status at
glance of every couple married in
the county since 1877.
The Thorn system of indexing is
being used in the new books, into
which there will be transferred all
the names of persons married during
the past "a years. These names are
entered and then checked in such a
manner that will leave no chance for
an error to creep in.
In a short time County Clerk Barr
hopes to have the one weak spot in
his office made strong. This will be
boon to the abstract companies and
the attorneys who frequently look
over the records to settle on the
married status of somebody wishing
to convey property. With the new
set of indexes complete it will be only
the matter of a few minutes to look
up the record of anybody.
