Stockmen, who have made several
tests, have figured out that most of the
losses of range cattle last winter was
due to the short range, and not the
cold snap. Cattle were forced to eat
grease brush, which would not digest,

full of holes. The stomachs of some
of those cut open were found to bo
pierced like a sieve, and to contain
stiff pieces of grease brush eight and

Oscar M. Kelly, who murdered his
-wife Clara on the night of June 10,
was taken from the jail at Dallas by a !
bod' of thirty men and hanged to an j
oak tree in the courthouse yard. Be-,
tween 1 :30 and 1 :45 o'clock a. m.,
there came riding up the main street j
of Dallas, from the north, a party of i
over thirty men, who proceeded straight
to the county jail, situated in the block
north of the courthouse, and stopped I
in front of the door. Kelty and his I
..guard, Harry Depew, wore quietly
sleeping in separate cells, oblivious of
the awful events which were to follow.
The clatter of approaching hoofs and
the noise of the wagons awakened both
. at about the same time. Kelty, in
stantly realizing what was the cause of
the unusual noise, calmly said to his
guard, "They're come," and asked him
for his knife. Being refused ho re
peated the request which was again
declined. Getting up and going to the
window Depew saw in the clear moon-
1 light the preparations preparatory to
storming the jail. The mob was every
one masked, except the one under
whoso directions they seemed to be
working. His face was bare, as if de-
. spising the concealment of identity
which the others effected. Depew was
again disturbed by Kelty calling for
his knife, and he stated to him that he
could not let him have it. Presently
the sound of breaking glass-was heard
from the direction of the cell, followed
by heavy breathing. It afterwards
transpired that Kelty, having broken
his glass lamp, had desperately endea
vored to sever either the carotid ar
tery or jugular vein, with the evident
intention of cheating his would-be
lynchers of their prey. Failing to find
death as quickly as he desired, the
wretched murderer in turn severed the
veins of his right ankle and left in
step, and both wrists. When the
lynchers reached the doomed man's
cell they placed a prepared noose
around Kelty's neck, and the party,
paying not tho slightest attention to
Depew, partly dragged, partly pushed
their miserable victim through the
hallway, down the stairs, out into the
open air and across tho road to the
courthouse fence. Throwing the loose
end of the rope over a large limb of a
sturdy oak which branched out from
the courthouse yard over the sidewalk,
and eeveral seizing it, the body of
Kelty, dressed in underclothes and
bathed in blood, was swinging in the
air, and allowed to remain uutil life
'was extinct.

George W. Irvin, who recently made
a trip through and into the Big Lost
River mining region, Idaho, tells an
interesting story to tho Butto Inter
Mountain: On tho stage road between
Challis and Blackfoot they came upon
what appeared to be a populous little
town. There was a handsome hotel
on the main street, a smelter could be
seen, and there wero stores and sa'
loons with various signs upon them.
Tho town, however, seemed entirely
deserted. After awhile a citizen was
found who explained that tho town
was Houston, and three years ago had
a population of 500. Four years ago
a promising copper mine was discov
ered there. It was called the Big Cop
per, and a company with a capital of
$100,000 was formed to work it. About
that amount was expended upon the
mine, and a 35-ton blast furnace was
erected, and on the strength of this a
flourishing town sprung up. A brew
cry was built, and a newspaper outfit
put in. No paper was over issued,
however, as tho collapse came too soon,
and the outfit is still there, tho ongi
nators of tho project probably never
having tho money to pay tho freight
out. Tho mine played out and the
population decamped, leaving in many
instances all they had brought with
them. The entire population at pres
ent is nine individuals. Mr. Irvin says
that it was a very interesting Bight

WAYS OF LITERATURE.
Interesting llrulon oit tho Origin of a
Fiimlllnr Quotation.
"Say." It was the snake editor who
spake, and he spake with tho air of a
man aweary of life, "I don't know how
to uso a concordance any how. Whore
do you find this quotation that goes on
something about 'Winter lingering in
tho bp of spring?' "
An embarrassing silence followed tho
question, and the album editor, feeling
that all eyes were turned on hhn, said
he never heard tho quotation before,
but it sounded as though it might bo
from tho Conventicles.
"The Con-who-tieles?" asked tho be
wildered snake editor.
"Tho Conventicles Solomon's Song,
you know," said the album editor, "wo
call them tho Conventicles."
"Oh. yes " tho snako editor said,
greatly reassured, "I had forgotten
you belonged to tho Church of Eng
land. But find it for mo; I want to
uo it in a Chester County moccasin
item; I've yot something hero that will
sot your teeth on edge."
The album editor took the Biblo and
tried for tho Conventicles awhile and
then gave it up, remarking that tho
passajo only occurred in tlio revised
version.
Tho commencement editor, who used
to read proof on tho Chicago Wmcs,
said he had read the revised Biblo clear
through and was positive tho quota-
tation wan t from the Bible at all.
Tho voung man who does tho book
notices said it was from Pope. "That's
what made me think it Avas in tho
Bible," said tho snako editor, "hut
which Popo was it? There's morn a
hundred of cm, isn t there?
Tho art editor, who had twico gone
abroad with Crook's excursions, said
ho never saw tho quotation in any of
tho European libraries, and tho obitu
arv editor said ho never run across it
in his reading. It was tho general
opinion of tho convention that tho re
mark was not a quotation at all, but
was original with the snako editor.
This compliment tho snako editor mod
estly, albeit rather feebly, attempted
to deny. "I know," ho said, I havo
Boon that sentenco in print some
where."
"Hero it is," shouted tho accident
editor, "1 know I had seen it, too, but
for tlru life of mo I couldn't toll where,
Hero it is."
And ho held up a copy of tho Cider
Valley Palladium, and pointed to tho
local column:
"April days.
Cold nights.
Burn your rubbish.
Don't chango your flannels.
Prime mess mackerel at Haddock's,
t f.
Winter lingering in tho lap of spring,
A good deal of quiot followed this
revelation. The snako editor was tho
first to sneak. "Well," ho said: "that's
it. I remember now, I was reading
that paper yesterday, and I must have
seen it there, but I was sure I had road
that very thing a thousand times."
And tho commencement editor sat
down and wrote a long and confusedly
able article on "unconscious corobra
tion and latent impressions." JJurdett,

trembling and exclaiming: "Sire, you
aro betrayed they come to assas
sinate vou. You must fly before It Is
too Into!" I sprang from my bod and
took my rovolvor. Suddenly I heard a
military command, and this gave
nio confidence. I said to Di
initri: "I am saved; tho military
hero." But he, still trembling,
shouted: "No, you must fly It is the
military who wish to kill you." I then
hastened, still in undress, to tho door
eading into tho gardon, but as soon as
I opened It I was fired at Soon
afterward I hoard shots on all sides. J
then went through a dark corridor to
tho servants' sUirs, up to tho winter
garden, on tho first floor, to seo If it
were still possiblo to escape. It was so
dark that I could not seo my hand be
fore my face, but tho line of hro from
tho shots of the soldiers, showed mo at
onco that 1 could not think of escape,
as tho palace was entirely surrounded.
Tho striking of tho bullets left no doubt
as to tho serious situation. At the
samo timo I hoard a shout from a hun
dred voices : "Dolu Knjaz I" (down
with tlvo Prince !) I returned to my
room to dress, determined at least to
dio in uniform. After having returned
to my room I decided to make a light,
btt tho soldiers at onco shot
through tho window. I put out tho
light and dressed in tho dark as soon
as possible, drawing on my uniform
without drawers or socks. Moanwhilo
tho noiso, tho clashing of arms and tho
clamor of tho excited crowd increased.
When I was dressed I stopped into
tho corridor, and was at onco sur
rounded by a crowd of men. In spito
of there being only on candlo hurtl
ing, I could seo by tho glistoning of
tho bayonets that thero were at lsast
ono hundred and fifty people. Resist
ance would bo useless, as I had only
two body servants. Thoy wero ready
to lire, but I forbado it. Surrounded
by this crowd of nion, I went to tho cn
tranco hall of the palace. At this mo
mont I mot my brother. While stand

tho register, which lay on tho table, a
leaf, and tho wholo crowd, who, by tho
fumes of alcohol among them, I know
wero strongly intoxicated, demanded

silver ton-cent ploccs. But tho monoy

Indian and thou droppod into a sopa

Next camo somo fox-skins; these vary
in price, but tlio trader's decision as to
what should bo paid was received with
scarcely a protest. Tho last skins of
all wore sea-ottor skins, and theso woro
pulled out very reluctantly; but four
piles of shining dollars wero paid for
each skin, ton dollars In each pile.
Tlio noxt thing was to pay all tho
money back ovor tho counter and ro
