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.

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. New York American.
