Among tho numerous descriptions o 'men wanted" that come to the sher ' ill "s office there recently was one from Sheriff Ward of Evanston, Wyoming, describing one George II. Crosby win Is wa'.tcd thero for shooting n man a: Kamnierer, Wyoming. Sheriff Chllifers rend the descrip tions as they came to his desk and filed (hem. A few days ago lie located Crosby out nl Dick Peebler's rancL where lie had been working. The sheriff was certain of his man from (lie description and today sent a dep uty out and plan d ihe young man un der arrest. While details of the shooting arc t from Information from tho wyo'iunr officer that Crosby had been working not thoroughly known here It seems lor a man at Kamnierer, Wyoming and when he quit he asked for his pay. HI employer Informed the young man that he would have to light If he ever got any money from him. Crosby left the man but returned later and again asked for his money, only to meet wlt.li tlie same reply and at the ?nme time the employer drew a gun on Ihe young man. Crosby was also armed and like n Hash drew his gun and s'lot the man. Knowing that he was In trouble as soon as his employer fell lo the ground Crosby left the state, hence the circulars from tho sheriff's office. But the employer did not ill and now Crosby will go back and stand trial nnd If Information, rere'vel here Ir correct It Is doubtful If his punishment will be severe with a probability of complete acquittal. The first extra session ever held by the Idaho legislature will meet this month to revise the revenue laws of the state. Old Superstitions. It Is onlv when we begin to Investi gate tho orlglu of certain old customs and superstitions that we gain any real idea of how deeply rooted in men's minds during the dark and mid dle ages was the fear of ihe supernatu ral and particularly of evil spirits. To this day in a ccrtaiu country the cot tagers after the Saturday morning scrubbing take a piece of chalk nnd draw a rough geometrical pattern round the edge of the threshold stone. This they do. not knowing that ttieir ances tors thought It a sure way or keeping the devil from entering the house. An other custom, often noticeable In coun try parishes, Is the reluctance to bury the dead on the north side of the churchyard. This is because evil spir its were always supposed to lurk on that side of the church precincts. London Spectator. The Gentle Sex. An eminent Kngllsh statistician has calculated that of two children, a boy nnd n girl, born on the same day the boy will have only seventeen chances against eleven of living one year, while the girl will have twenty-one chances against eleven. From five to fifteen there appears to be but little difference, but from llfteen to nineteen the boy will have 'Jii'.i chances and the girl 277 chances of living against one of death If a thousand nblcbodlcd men and a thousand nblcbodlcd women bo armed and equipped for buttle and ordered on a long, weary march more men, says this authority, would probably reach their destination, while more women would be found exhausted, but more men would be found dead by the way side.
