 The party, led by "Slim," reached Wingate Pass, far up Death Val ley and an inferno of heat and drought. Suddenly Scotty rolled from the back of Slim" with bull let in his hip. Somebody was flr- ing from among the sun-scorched rocks ahead.
 The party returned defeated.
 It was never discovered by Nor man and King how the thing came about.
 In the year 1905, walking down Broadway was observed an individ- ual wearing an overcoat with the collar turned up and his hands encased in suede gloves. It was 100 in the shade!
 The cloaked individual was alter nately buying all of the flowers of- fered by old women along the curb and tossing handfuls of gold money into the Streeet. Two tens was the result of having learned to scram- ble for pennies as a kiddo.
 The stranger was traced to the Lankershim hotel, there it was learned that he registered as "E. Oscar Hart" (not our own Oscar whose range is all over Alaska).
 Learning that Scotty was at an- other hotel he was reached by tele- phone: There is a man at the Lankershim throwing away hand fuls of gold; he says that Death Valley Scotty is a piker."
 Within few minutes Scotty the Lankershim bar. From the bulge just below his hips one might have suspected that he had affected those 10-gallon seat Eng ] fish riding breeks. 1
 Walking up to the bar where Hart was buying wine for all who would 1 drink, Scotty unloaded two rolls of bills onto the bar. They were athed and plastered with notes of S1, ,OOO denomination.
 You're cutting into my dig 5lngs, trying to jump my claim" said Scotty. "I'm the chuckwalla ,desert lizzarO of this range. Here s S3O,OOO; we'll spend it for wine, 'er it up, thrown it into the street 'r give it to the widows and or 'hans. It's your bet"
 By that time a friend importuned Hart to go to his room.
 It developed that Hart was re- 'uted to have sold mine in Mex co for $1,30o,OOo and was only eel 'brating.
 when asked the source of his money Scotty would smile and re- ply: "Ain't it funny; I got 'em all 'uesslng. It comes from Death 1alley.

Things are in a fair way now for a lively meeting of the board of education next Monday evening. when the charges preferred against Stephen Robinson, in charge of manual training at the Duggan school, for alleged neglect of duty will be heard.
 This matter came up some time ago. but it was adjusted on the understanding that MT Robinson was to give up his connection with the Palace Cleaners business. It |seems the business was turned over to Mrs Stephen Robinson, and while this was not, satisfactory. it staved off opposition for the time being, but it came up again a month ago in a communication from the Waterbury Tailors asso- citation, who represented to the board of education that on March 31, MT Robinson was working al the Palace Cleaners, when he should be at his position in Dug l gan school, and suggesting that his
 school job be given to somebody
 who would look to it as a means of making a livelihood.
 The matter was referred to the
 superintendent for investigation and recommendation. The super intendent filed his report yesterday in which he stated that he had brought the matter to the attention

payments by foreign companies will amount to $83,571.
 The small shrinkage in the pre- mium tax revenue indicates that the insurance business transacted in Connecticut during 1881 was fairly stable.
 The premium tax is reciprocal. Connecticut taxing companies of other states on the basis that those states tax the Connecticut com panies. the levy ranginf from 1 to 3 per cent.
 It is expected that the total re- ceipts of the Connecticut insurance department for the year ending June 30. 1892, including the rev enue from the premium tax. will show little, if any. decrease from the receipts of the previous year, which were $1.035,972.

 Game Last Night
AT PARISH HALL

St Francis Xavier Holy Name society held It's 13th "45" tourna- ment game last night at the hail, at which considerable fun and ex- citement was had by all. The 14th and last game will be played Mon- day night, April 18th, at St Fran cis Xavier hall. Everybody is in- vited to attend and watch the fun.
 The Young Blopds won the game from their teacher, Captain Fitz- maurice, who was tickled pink at the results, claiming that he is very much honored to think that they can beat any team In the parish. also that as long as he won the first series of seven games and his pupils the second series it keeps the honors in the family of players. But Captain Fitzmaurice did not get away with that alibi for he was given considerable grill ing and joshing for letting his team lose so heavy which keeps the other teams out of the running for first place. Captain Horan of the young bloods makes his brags good. as he has been claiming his team would be in first place at the end.,
 Captain Phelan, Captain Kelly and Captain Byrnes gave their opponents a good licking, but not enough for any of them to get near first place, all however. have a chance for second place. but will have to go some to do it as second place lies between Captain Phalen and Captain Byrnes. Cap tains Bowey. Kelly. O'Donnell and Dalton are out of the running. but can play to put either Captain Pha1en or Byrnes in second place.
 Score for the night.
