skeletons now bleaching on the desert.
He left Cam po about a wek ago for
Yuma, and though an experienced
miner, became confused before going far
on the desert, on account of the oblitera
tion of trails by sandstorms. Within a
few hours from the time he was lost,
death stared him in the face in the form
of thirst. With great will-power and
presence of mind he calmed himself and
decided that the only way to eave
his life was to take the back track and
try to reach the Picachos, on the w e it
em side of the desert. He retraced Hs
steps as rapidly as possible, suffering
terribly from thirBt, and occasionally in
great jerit from the hallucinations of
delirium and the falae attractions of
mirages, which almost drew him from
the trail to drink of imaginary spi'ngs.
He finally reached the foothills and
found his way to Campo badly used up.
After recuperating and refitting he will
again attempt to reach Yuma.

EPIDEMIC OF CRANKS
Tbere is an Ayowed Assassin Loose
in Wasnintfon.
HE IS A MIXER FROM IDAHO
Wants to Kill President Cleveland,
Whom He Holds Responsible fur
the Repeal Law.
Washington', Nov. 4. A number ol
officer in citizens' dress have been de
tailed to guard the white house and to
protect the life of the president, w hich
is supposed to be in danger from a mur
derous crank who it at large in this
city. Last Wednesday there arrived in
Washington s man who keeps a restau
rant in Boise City, Idaho. The name
of the man the police refuse to divulge.
Yesterday he went to the chief of police
and told his story. lie said that about
a week ago a miner, who was out of em
ployment, came to his restaurant, and
in a heated discussion about the silver
question and the effects of the repeal
bill on the mining interest of the west,
declared, with emphasis, that he was
going to Washington, and if the repeal
bill passed unconditionally he would
kill the man whom he knew should be
held responsible. The restaurant-keeper
did not know the man, but, as he disap
peared from Boise, be concluded it was
his duty to come bere and notify the
authorities. He arrived Wednesday,
and that afternoon strolled up to the
white house promenade. The first per
son be saw was the miner with whom
he had the altercation. At soon as the
man saw him be took to his heels. The
restaurant keeper thought possibly it
was a rase of mistaken identity, and he
said nothing to anybody until the next
day, when be again went to the white
house and saw the same man lurking
there. . As there was no mistake, he
went to the chief of police and told his
story, giving a full description of the
man. As a pr cautionary measure a
Dumber of officers have been detailed to
guard the white house and detectives
are looking for the man who vowi him
self to be the intended assassin. The
police declare they do not believe there
is any danger, but say that precaution
is leing taken to guard against poeeib'e
contingencies. The matter is being kepi
very quiet.

V00KHEES WILL HE THEIR LEADER
To Introduce a Free Coinage Bill in
December The Silvcrit.es are
Determined.
Washington, Nov. 0. There are
rumors that Vooriiees will introduce a
free-coinage silver bill at the. opening of
the regular session. Voorhees declines
to talk about the matter, but it is point
ed out that ho has always been a silver
man, and declared during tho debate on
the repeal bill that he was no less a
friend of silver than he had always been.
At any rato, it is thoroughly understood
the silver questton is not shelved by the
passage of the repeal bill. Un the con
trary, the silver men say the fight has
only begun. When congress assembles
they propose to keep it.well to the front
in connection w ith every great issue be
tween the parJes from the tariff to the
repeal of the federal election laws.
Every stage of thy tariff discussed will
be punctuated by pertinent queries by
the silver men tending to prove it was
the demonetization of silver, not the
McKinley tariff w hich oau-ed the finan

the silver men shall act as a hoc'.- of
obstructionists, as did the Pann:ilite in

Three Iwirl Trains.
Three female tramps recently arrived
in California from Portland, Or. As the
story runs, they sallied forth and climbed
to the top of the firt freight train they
came to, and, seating themselves on the
edge of a tax car, they allowed their
feet to dangle along the side and waited
for the locomotive to roll away. It is
said that a brakeman who was running
over the topof the train was so paralyzed
with astonishment when he saw the
pettiooated tourists that he almost fell
overboard.
"Where are you going, my pretty
maids?" he politely aked,and gallantly
lifted his cap.
The girls told him plainly that they
were going to California ; that they had
no money to pay their fare, and that
they did not propose to lie put off the
train.
None of the train crew interfered with
the women. At various stations the
girls went about and begged food. At
one place, it is reported, a tramp in
sulted one of the women, when the three
sailed in togetherand gave him a trounc
ing that he will remember lor many and
many a day.

A Valuable Stocking-.
Edward Hutchinson Robbins was
speaker of the Massachusetts house of
representatives in 1793. His grandson,
who describes him as a man of untiring
kindness, "whose desire was to bless
and serve others," says:
"Stephen Brewer, .who knew him
well, told me once thaf when he was a
clerk in a store in Boston the old gen
tleman walked in with a gray stocking
in his hand, the foot of which was full
of Spanish dollars.
'"Stephen, my little man,' said he,
'take care of this for me; it's a new
stocking, and my daughter Cassy knit
it for me.'
"So Stephen put it away and grand
father forgot it from that hour. But
three months later he came into the
store in much affliction.
" 'Stephen, my little man,' said he.
'I've lost a stocking like this,' showing
the mate, 'and I'm so sorry! My daugh
ter Cassy knit them,' he said, tenderly,
'and I would not lose them for any
thing.' " 'I produced the stocking with the
Spanish dollars tied up in the fool,
said Stephen, 'and there was no at. ci
tation about it; he really cured morv
about finding the stocking that his
daughter had knit for him than he did
for the money.' " Youth's Companion.
j HOW THE BUFFALOES DIED.
The Terrible Destructive Method of Iii
I rtlnn Hunter.
A story teller of half a century ug-o
I gave an account of a terrible method
I which the Indians used in destroying
I the buffalo, und one which must have
been the means of snuffing out an in
calculable number of lives.
The red hunters, he said, were wont
to lie concealed in the vicinity of some
hifrh precipice, nnd when a herd of
bisons came roaming thither in aearch
of food tiny would send one or two
braves out uinong them, concealed in
the I'ffijry of a buffalo and covered
with its head, hide unil horns. The
false buffalo being stationed bctwicn
the herd and the precipice, the Indians
would surround the herd. a nearly im
possible, and then rush from their
concealment shouting like demonp
The Ii r. i mil In beinff alarmed, and see
ing1 no way open but in the direction
of the false buffalo, would run toward
it, und the false buffalo moving quick
ly to the edge of the cliff went rwer.'
but by some preconceived arrange
ment took refuse in a cave, cleft or
shelf. The leaders of the herd would
pause on the brink, sceiiiK' death
tore tnem; rmt tnose behind could not
see the abyss, und would press madly
forward, so thut those in front were
forced to leap to the rocky ground
hundreds of feet below, while those
behind were goaded forward by the
hunters until they became mad with
fear, and followed in to the same end.
The Indians then selected as much
meat as they wished and left the rest
to the wolves.
