Court Takes Prompt Action.

fredericksburg, Md, Oct. 16.-Con-
vened in special session today at
Denton, the Caroline county CRAM
Jury took up the case of Washing
ton Dickerson, the young negro
accused of assaulting Miss Martina
Sullivan at her home near Federals-
burg early Monday morning.
The Indictment against DickersoA
will probably be tried this term.
He is 18-years old, and has been
fully identified by Miss Sullivan who
is so years old, and lives alone i
short distance from Fredericksburg.
She was awakened by Dickerson
about Z o'clock in the morning, and
when she opened the door he en-
tered and attacked her. Her screams
brought neighbors to the scene and
the negro escaped to a wood near
by, which was surrounded by mum
Der of men, both white and colored,
and Dickerson was taken into GUS
tody. Miss Sullivan picked him OF
of a crowd when asked to- point
out her assailant. &
Dickerson claims that another
negro committed the crime and that
he is the victim of mistaken identi-
ty. There has been NO talk of
lynching, although the officers are
guarding the Jail against possible
from people in the
vicinity of the crime.

never lose their awe of it's majesty. All about the geysers the foliage of the tree is heavily laden with ice, giv- ing them a thousand fantastic shapes. A cloud of vapor. like the steam from some great manufacturing city, hangs and drifts over the geyser basins-the workshop of nature.
 The "SisterheOd" of che Geysers.
 There are more than fifty in this giant sisterhood of geysers. Not even in Iceland or New Zealand or any where else where the earth Is still be- ing made is there such a convent of their order as in tho Yellowstone. No one ever has been able to describe them adequately in words any more than 1t has been possible to tell on the printed page the extent of the wonders in this workshop of the Almighty" It Is place where almost every form of creative eccentricity iu nature is found.
 But the geysers play unseen. and the agents that are molding the earth keep at their tasks in solitude all winter long The great streams and water falls never rest in their toll of tearing down the heights and building up the valleys. Only during three months in the year is it possible for many people to see this Titanic work of Nature in progress. If those who travel for pleasure every summer knew how curi- ous and beautiful a place the Park is there would be as great an influx of visitors between the 18th of June. when the season begins. and the 18th Of Sep tember, when it ends. as now sail away to Europe for rest and play.

When the baby bear comes into the world he is not much bigger than a rat, but he grows and grows in his cave, kept warm by his mother until spring. When he emerges into the light he is care of himself and fight anything of his size.
 A Paradise For Wild Things.
 Millions of trout come up into the smaller streams to spawn in the spring. Bears live mostly on berries and fish when they can get them. Since there are no berries in the spring the bears break their fast on fish. They wade into the creeks and scoop them out with their paws. When the little bears get tired of catching fish in the shallow pools they go hunting for moles and work as industriously as puppy dogs digging them out of the earth Spring time, when the bears are lean and hun gry, is their busiest time.
 Three-fourths of the Park is a dense forest, a primeval wilderness. Away from the few hotels. the roads and the trails the Park today is what il was before even a Pharaoh reigned in Egypt. It is such a paradise for the
 
 that they have less to fear. even from each other and from the elements, than anywhere else in the wilderness When the fury of the winter storms drives the elk. deer. mountain sheep and an- telope into the sheltered valleys and canyons they have nothing to be afraid of except the pelting. driven steel-dust of the mountain blizzards Nature is kind even to the birds. On the great terraces where the Stupendous springs of hot water flow necessarily gather great hocks of wild ducks and other fowl.
 In this region, nearly 5000 feet above the sea, where the mercury sinks away below zero from December to March. there is far more wonder and mystery in midwinter than the summer tourist ever gets a hint of.

and is piled into fantastic drifts. Some times 1t is swept with a roar through the mountain gorges faster than the swiftest railway train ever travelled. It covers to the caves some of the big hotels. In summer time these places are buzzing with life. but in winter they are pictures of desolation, almost indistinsufshable from the rest of the landscape beneath the enshrouding snow. If the caretakers wish to get out they have to obtain exit from a window on one of the upper floors. Tall trees buried in the snow appear like bushes. The general aspect of the country Is entirely changed
 Masses of Purest White In Place of
 Brilliant Hued Rocks.
 The incomparable wonder of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. that huge gash in the earth whose walls glow with every tint of jewels and flowers, Is a mass of purest white save where here and there the winds have swept away the snow and left the bril- liant hued rocks exposed Their reds and yeIlows and purples and crimsons glow the brighter in contrast with the surrounding whiteness. The black fo- Hage of the pines stands out sharply. Where the water slides over the preci- pice and forms the Great Falls of the A carded wool Down at the bottom of the gorge. where the waters are swift and deep. they are black There are immense tcicles 200 feet long.
