Parted By

Nothing in yeare has touched

of the contented old couple VIII
have made Benson their hSne fo'
over thirty years.
Mr. and Mrs McGill had both
passed their sixti+th year. The>
had 40 children to comfort them il
theirr'old age but had money in th
bank which together with the in

property was ample means to kerp

age There wa nothing to worr,
them and their daily tasks of fe~di' z
the chickens, gathering the egg
and looking alter their properly
was just enough work to content
tnen They we're DEVOTED to each
other and seemed very happy il
this sweet old age. For years they
have lived this simple life witt
nothing to mar its pleasure, excep'
an incident which occurred few
months ago, when Mrs. McGiI
showed signs Of insanity apd was
taken to the atate asylum. Wit
the chivalry of a gallant knight Of
old, the old man can,e to her res
cue and stubborny fought every
procedure to take his life-mat+
trom the humble home to the far
away and dreary asylum. H.
finally gained her release by
furnishing the state authorities
with a bond. He personally took
the bond to the su superintendent of
the asylum and escorted his COM
panion home, where they have
since liyed that same simple life
until Monday, when. by this ghast-
ly accident, they were suddenly
separated 10 this life forever, and
above the power of any of his
noble efforts to bring her back
Today this old man goes about his
tasks alone; no one to assist him
no ore to share bis humble home.
He is broken in spirit and there is
naught Of the jolly jesting which
has SO Familiarity characterlzed him

The accident occurred about
noon Monday while Mrs. McGill
was crossing the tracks opposit,
Judge Shilliam's office. She was
going in the directiod of the water
tank Will an engine with a string
of box cars was backing down the
house track. Wnen the cars hi'
her she was walking ir the middle
of the track with the approaching
cars behind her. A brakeman en-
deavored to warn her but all in
vain. One truck OF the car passed
over her, severing the left arm,
crushing the left side and bruisins
the head. Life was extinct when
the body was picked up,
! A coroners jury was summoned
and an inquest held. No blam+-
was attached to the company or the
train crew.
Services were held at the Cath :

Tubular chlmes.

Tubes instead of bells for chimes came into use in England half a cen tury ago for three reasOns-they have a meIower, more musical tone; they take up much-le less space than bells, and they weigh much less. The sub ject of tubular chimes has all the in. terest that pertains to bells generally. In making a bell the most expert founder cannot predetermine with ex- actitude the tone of the bell. General ly bells and tubes have to undergo nice notifications after they are finished, and 1t is much easier to alter the tube dellcately to get just the pitch and tone quality sought than to modify the bell Tubular chimes used in tower clocks, organs and elsewhere are fundamen- tally identical with the dangling gold tubes upon which the gifted vaudeville performer plays Home, Sweet Home" New York Sun.

Sends Story of Piute Capture.

Brig-Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief OF
the general staff, U. S. A, writes the
following story for the New York
Sun:
Thompsons, Utah, March 23.-Ac-
companied by Lieut.-Col. R. E. l..
Mitchie, of the general staff, and Paul
Randolph, my orderly, l left Wash
ington on March and heard at Chi
cago that the hostile Indians had
run away westward.
We were prepared to follow them,
wherever they might go and expect
ed they would 60 across the Grand
Canyon, Col. We left the railroad
at Thompsons, Utah, on March 8 and
after drives of thirty-eight, sixty-five
and forty-eight miles, part of the
time on sledges, in snow three feet
deep, We arrived at Bluff. Utah, the
scene of the recent fight with the
United States marshal's posse.
Bluff is the end Of all communica-
tions. Taking Messrs. Creel and
Jenkins, of the Indian department
and some Navajos, who had been ar
rested at Beautiful Mountain a year
and half ago and were strong in
dorsers of my integrity, we started
west, down the San Juan river to
Mexican Hat.
John Wetherill, after ride Of 100
miles, brought in Ute Indian, who
came to his store at Kayenta, fifty
miles south. From the Ute we found
that the hostile Indians had taken
all the Ute's Piutes with them to
Navajo Mountain. 12o miles west OF
Bluff, who, with the Piutes already
there, numbere 200 in all.
All the Navajos had left in differ
ent directions. The Ute was careful
ly impressed with the importance of
urging the hostiles to talk and was
convinced that no trap would be set
for them. He brought some in after
four days, although he had to ride
80 miles to reach them. The others
came after and had all arrived by the
afternoon of the next day.
They were treated with the utmost
kindness, as a wild horse which a
false or sudden move would stam-
pede out of sight would be treated.
Assured of their safety and we'll fed
their condition and acts were care
fully explained in conferences and
interviews covering two days. No
ultimatum was given, the door being
left for further discussion.
I prepared to stay for a day,
week or month until the time was
ripe to put the question, What are
you going to do?" with certainty that
my advice would be followed. The
answer was: I'VE are going. to do
what you tell U.S.
Very we'll, tell your four, for
whom the marshal has warrants, to
go with me to the court at Salt Lake,
and l leave in an hour
Our success was considered a mira
Gle at Bluff and places on the way
north. 1t was the miracle always ac-
complished by reasoning with an In
dian in kindly sympathetic way, by
any one who can gain his confidence
and guide him with kind steady firm
ness toward the right.
They are coming along freely with
out handouts or guards, curious
about everything they see and trust
full that they are being taken care of.
