Several piercing shrieks following each oilier in quick succession echoed through the corridors and rotunda of the West hotel at 8:30 o'clock this morning. A porter was dispatched to the rooms just vacated by Sara Bernhardt. 1 le found a chambermaid lying on a sola in a semi fainting fit. . "For heaven s sake, look into Uiat bath tub!" said the thoroughly fright ened girl. He did as requested. In the bottom of the bath tub, which was half filled with wateV lay a dead water snake about eighteen inches long. In the tub the di vine Sara had jierformed her ablutions. The snake was one of her many strange pets. It had been presented to her in South America. She made a special pet of it, it is said. She would let it lie on the bed with her and would let it crawl about her neck, and would fondle it as a -child would a doll. "KIip must have laid on it and killed it accidentally," said Clerk 1 lyser to-day. "She was an eccentric woman," he said. "She was the strangest great we ever had in the house. Why, the chamber maids were scared to death because of her. They feared to go near her rooms. She had a whole museum of wild and uncouth pots in her room. That tiger cat, for instance. It was a terror. No one could touch it or go near it but her. She could handle it like it was a kitten. When Bhe left the room the cat had to be put in the cage, and it would snarl and spit at every one who entered. Then it would crv when she was absent from the rooms.

Ai,t id nvwir i,,ar. w th monn wa Pittsburg, on Thursday, l eb pouring its flood ot silvery light through the tree tops, there was a sudden report of a shot in the immediate vicinity, fol lewe.i by a dozen or more shots in quick succession. The riders slopped, as if by command, and listened with outstretched necks, while their fingers instinctively sought trigger and knife handle. Then there was heard the sound of advancing hoofs, accompanied by the well known yells of 1 ndian warriors. A moment later Hrent appeared upon his foaming beast, hastily informing the party that lie was being followed by a party of at least fifty Indians. In an in stant the men rushed to a neighbering bill, which, under the "circumstances, seemed to offer the most favorable chance for defense. Hardly, had they arrived, dismounted and taken post when they were surround ed by their bloodthirsty enemies. Shots were exchanged in every direction, and Prent fell with a sickening moan, being shot through the groin. Thus several hours passed until mid night, when the moon stood overhead and illuminated the landscape for miles around The iudians had withdrawn for some time and were now lying at a safe distance, depending upon daylight and its opportunities, which must surely de liver the game into their hands, as re treat was cut off in every direction. Not until now had the vigilantes an opportunity to look alter the wounded man, who still lay motionless in the same spot where he had fallen. With the utmost care they carried him to a sheltered place among the boulders, un der a large pine tree, where they ten derly deposited his lifeless form upon the grass, resting his head against a rock. Then they bathed his face with cold wat er and forced through his lips some of the liquor from the field flask. After awhile life and consciousness slowly re turned. "Let me die here and save yourself," he whispered. "I can neither walk nor ride ; you have a chance to escape during the night if you will try ; after daylight you will all be lost." Thereupon the four men retreated sev- consultation, wtnen was Probably the most remarkable will ever made was drawn up by Aid. llartman, of 17, 1SS7. The testator, Ambrose Ketharge, who is fifty-two years of age, after disusing of $10,000 in real estate, directs as follows : "I direct that my body be taken to St. Michael'sChureh, and, after the proper religious services are performed, that it be given in charge of my family, who will convey it to Samson's crematory and there have it burned to ashes, the ashes to be put in a small bottle and given in charge of the ( rerman Consul in Pittsburg. This gentleman will then forward my asheB to the Consul in New York, who will give them in charge of the Captain of the ( ier man steamer Elbe, who will place them securely in his ship for the ocean voyage.

After the Elbe has completed tier trip and returned to New York, I want a full statement of my death and the scattering of my ashes in mid-ocean published in the Pittsburg papers, 80 that my friends in the city shall know my burial place."

S. troops and the population of the territory embraced many adventurers and criminals who recognized neither law nor the right of property, the so called road agents held high carnival, and horrible crimes on the high roads were of dailv occurrence. Then it was that a few fearless men decided to take the law into their own hands and relieve the country of this dangerous, criminal element. Upon the secret call of these men, of whom Col. C. Sanford, an attorney, and X. Ileidler, a deputy V. S. marshal, deserve' to be especially mentioned, and who still live as highly-resiet:tad citizens in Helena, M. T., the organization of tbe "Vigilantes" was called into existence, the members pledging themselves by solemn oath to mutually support in pro ceeding against the outlaws. That such an undertaking was no mere child's play, but required courage and determination, will be readily helieved when the reader learns that many terri torial officers were the leaders of the ... . i i i i gang, which numoereu several nuimiea ami boasted a thorough organization. If the robbers, in their attacks upon mail coaches and immigrant trains, ran no rink of being recognized, they would occasionally spare the lives of their vic tims, but murder was th'dr business in case th.-re was the least danger of recog nition.
