They remain in this position for many minutes, sometimes for an hour, making a careful scrutiny of ev- erything below them in their search for prey. Then, with slight tilting of the wings. they flap slowly away, or, having found what they were seek ing, dart like a bullet toward it.

 One Pail of Water.

But Mark Twain Missed It by Just ..- One Pail of Water.
 With Steve Gillis, a printer of whom he was fond, Mark Twain went up into Calaveras county to cabin on Jackass hill, where Steve's brother Jim, a lovable, picturesque character Cthe Truthful James" of Bret Harte), owned mining claims. Mark decided to spend his vacation in pocket min ing and soon added that science to his store of knowledge. It was halcyOn, happy three months that he fingered there. One day with Jim Gillis he was following the SpeckS of gold that led to a pocket somewhere up the hin when a chill, dreary rain set in. Jim was washing and Clemens was carry ing water. The "color" became better and better as they ascended, and, Gil lis, possessed with the mining passion, would have gone on regardless of the rain. Clemens. however. protested and declared that each pail of water was his last. Finally he said in his delib- crate, drawling fashion:
 "Jim, I won't carry any more water. This work is too disagreeable. Let's go to the house and wait till it clears up"
 Gillis had just taken out a pan of earth.
 Bring one more pail sam," he plead ed
 q won't do it, Jim! Not a drop! Not If I knew there was a million dollars in that pan!'
 They left the pan standing there and went over to Angels camp, which was nearer than their own cabin. The rain kept on, and they sat around the grocery and barroom smoking and tell Ing stories to pass the time.
 Meanwhile the rain had washed away the top of the pan of earth left standing on the slope of Jackass hill and exposed a handful of nuggets pure gold Two strangers had come along and. observing 1t, had sat down to wait until the thirty day claim notice posted by Jim Gillis should ex- pire. They did not mind the rain-not with that gold in sight-and the min ute the thirty days were up they fol lowed the lead few pans farther and took out $2O,O00 in all. It was a good pocket. Mark Twain missed it by one pail of water.-Chicago Post.

NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER.
Nathan Foster Shoots and Seriously
Wounds Jake Page.

A shooting affray that my termin-
ate fatally occurred at the corner
of Main street and Railroad avenue,
directly in front of Morris Fass'
department store, Saturday night
about 8 O'Clock. The streets were
thronged with shoppers ut the
time end that some innocent by
stander was not killed or wounded
by stray bullet seems almost mir
acuEous.
Foster, the negro who did the
shooting, is a trifling sort of boy
who has been doing odd jobs around
the Price Court Inn. Page, the
victim of the near-tragedy, poses as
cook, but is said to be a worth
less fellow who does not exert him
self to do much of anything.
1t is the same old story of too
much whisky, the ever ready gun
and the brute passion being stirred
by Jealousy over another woman.
Page and Foster had been paying
attention to the same dusky dam
sci and it seems that Page was max,
ing better headway than Foster.
Anyway there was occasion for jeal-
ousy and when the trio met Satur-
day night a conflict was inevitable.
1t is said the woman attempted to
pulled a pistol and began firing. One
bullet entered the negro's elbow,
another entered the right thigh
and another ploughed it's way
through his side, piercing the lungs
and liver. The wound in the side
is the one that may cost Page his
life. Both negroes ran in the
same direction and in the confusion
that followed Foster made his es-
cape. Two blocks away Page was
found lying upon the ground where
her had fallen, bleeding profusely
from the mouth.
The doctors say his wound is
dangerous and he was urged to
make his ante-mortem statement
Sunday afternoon, but he refused to
discuss the affair. 'The woman in
the case" resides somewhere in the

MISTRIAL IN DEIBLER CASE.
Jury Unable to Agree In Case q
Contractor Charged With Issuing
Hu0 Check

The case of the State VS.. Jno. r.
Deibler, charged with issuing a
|,rthless check, resulted IN a mis-
trlal after being heard in Judge
McRae's Court Tuesday.
Mr.. Deibler is a contractor at
Little Rock and has been doing
, Quite lot of work in this section
Inc warrant alleged that he paid
Cne OF the workmen by check and
when the check was presented the
bank turned it down because the
defendant did not have sufficient
FUNDS in the bank with which to
meet il.
The defence held that it was not
violation of the law to give a
worthless check in payment for
something that had already been
obtained; that is if the check had
Deen given previous to the time
that the debt had been made, but
that if goods or labor were obtained
upon a worthless check given for
the purpose Of defrauding the per-
son to whom the check was given
1t was a violation of the statute
AS the labor had already been per-
FORMED it held that Mr. .Deibler had
not violated the statute. The Jury
seemed to disagree on this point of
law, however, and the case re-
suited in a mistrial.
The prosecution was represented
by Joe =. Lane, Esq, and the de-
lense was represented by n. B. Har-
grove and j. b. Gibson.

The Atlanta Lawyer Camping on
Blease's Trail. Lyon is Silent Oh
the Matter.
According to a story from At
lanta the rumors that Impeachment
proceedings will be instituted in the
coming session of the legislature
in South Carolina against Govern
or Cole l.. Blease are rapidly cryS-
talizing. Indeed the definite state
ment is made that, at a conference
held in Atlanta Saturday attended
by several prominent South Caro-
linians. plans for presenting the
impeachment proceedings were gone
over in detail
The story Of the conference held
In Atlanta Saturday to discuss plans
Tor bringing these proceedings, is
as follows:
From the Augusta Chronicle Bureau
impeachment proceedings are
practically certain TO be instituted
against Governor Cole l.. Blease, of
South Carolina. when the South
Carolina legislature meets in jan
uary.
This action will be a direct re-
suit of efforts of Governor Blease
to have Thos. b; Fielder. a prom
inent Atlanta lawyer, eXtraslite
to South Carolina for trial on
charges growing out of the State dis
pensary muddle.
That the Impeachment would be
attempted was indicated Saturday,
when a prominent attorney of
South Carolina and some other
prominent South Carolina people
came here to confer with Mr.. Field
er. 1t is said on good authority
that the details of the plans were
gone over at length in this confer
ence
The South Carolina attorney and
those with him, left in the after
noon for South Carolina before their
presence in Atlanta had become
publicly known. Mr.. Fielder was
asked for a statement about this
matter but declined to discuss il.
Rumors to the effect that there
would be impeachment proceedings
are not new; in fact they have
been in circulation for some time,
generally coming from Columbia.
Saturday the Raleigh News and OBJ
server printed the following, sent
on by the American Press Associa-
ton:
Columbia, S. c., September IS

ernor Cole Blease are trying to
get evidence against him as
basis for impeachment proceedings,

venes in January. The governor
Will be generally charged with
malfeasance in office and there
will be specific charges.
"A resolution is to be introduced.
1t is said, to impeach him. If this
is passed the articles of impeach-
ment will be ready to be filed at
once upon which the State Senate
VIII try him. His opponents be-
lieve that nearly two thirds of the
members of the legislature are
lnimical to Governor Blease.
Chief Justice Ira b. Jones of
the state supreme court has resign
ed that office to become a candi-
date for governor against Blease
next year."
