HORSE
THIEVES,
Call In a Mina Shaft.
One of the narrowest escapes
from death recorded in the western
mines fell to Harry Lee, commis
sioner of mines of Colorado. Be
fore going down in a shaft one day
Lee buttoned the top button of his
canvas coat The walls of the shaft
were covered with lining boards,
which were nailed to the timbers.
One of them was loose at the top
and projected. When Lee went
downward in his bucket this board
caught beneath the skirt of his coat,,
passed up the back and held him
suspended, while the empty bucket
continued to drop.
Lee was so choked by the pres
sure against his throat, due to the
buttoned coat, that he could not
cry out loud enough to be heard.
However, he could see. He watched
the bucket go toward the bottom,
saw a man come toward it, heard
him pound on the air pipe, but
could not hear the subsequent con
versation. Then he heard the en
gineer, 250 feet above, call to him,
but could not answer. Then Lee
saw the man at the bottom o f the
shaft, 300 feet below, take a candle
and move it slowly back and forth
until the engineer above could lo
cale the obstruction. Then the
miner at the bottom placed a light-
ed candle in the bucket, which now
began to rise toward Lee so slowly
that it seemed sn eternity in ascend
ing a foot.
The wire cable was beyond Lee’s
reach, but when the bale of the
bucket was opposite his foot he
touched it. Instantly the bucket
stopped. Lee pushed it with his
foot, and as it came cloee he caught
the rope with his hands and placed
both feet on the rim of the bucket.
Then it moved upward half an inch
and stopped. This continued until
Lee was free from the board.
By that time Lee was a pretty
nervous man. He slid into the
bucket and the swaying of the rope
told the engineer that Lee either
had fallen to the bottom of the
shaft or was safe. When Lee
reached the surface he was too weak
to walk. The engineer was in a
cold perspiration and had to quit
work for the day.
“ It was the closest shave I hare
ever heard of,” said a Denver man.
“ I hare known or heard of a num
ber of cases where men have been
lifted off buckets in just that way,
hut Lee is the only man I ever
knew to escape.” — New York Press.
Thi Black Fox.
In no way except in color does
the black fox differ from the red
fox, whose pelt sells for abont $2,
or from the gray fox, whose winter
coat is valued at from $150 to $400,
but whenever a hunter can secure a
black fox and remove its skin with
out marring the fur he is sure of
receiving from $800 to $1,500 for
his trophy. Not only is every black
fox pelt bought as soon as taken,
but a dozen Russian noblemen have
paid agents traveling in North
America all through the winter
seeking out remote hillside farms
and abandoned logging camps where
it is possible that a shy and elusive
black fox may have been seen.

Peshawur. The adjoining valley and
hills have always been the haunts
of professional thieves. The ob
jects which they most covet are
arms, money and horses. In secur
ing these they evince great skill and
daring.
Their most popular mode of horse
stealing requires at least three men
to carry it out comfortably and suc
cessfully. One of them quietly
steals his way into the stable ana
lays hold of a cord which has been
pushed through one o f the holee in
the wall by an accomplice outside.
The two use this string as a saw,
while the third man pours upon it
a plentiful supply o f water. * The
cord silently and speedily outs its
way down tne mud wall.
In a wonderfully short time the
three craftsmen manage to saw
round a portion of the wall, which
when pushed outward leaves a space
sufficient to allow a horse to pass
out.
This done, the remaining work
presents no difficulty. -The ropes
which bind the horse are cut, and in
a short time he is cantering to the
hills, with generally two or three of
his new masters on his back.
A somewhat bold and impudent
exploit in the horse stealing line
was once the amusement and the
talk o f the British military station
for some days. The cantonment
was surrounded at sundown by a
chain o f sentries. This demanded
a great number o f men, and all reg
iments, cavalry and infantry, Euro
pean and native, nightly gave their
proportions.
A native trooper on this occasion
fastened his horse to the peg fixed
about the middle of his “ beat” and
to keep his courage and himself
warm— the night was dark and bit
terly cold— walked smartly back
ward and forward.
The extent of this walk was not
more than thirty yards, and thus at
no time could he have been more
than fifteen yards from his charger.
He was armed with a short rifle and
a tulwar or sword.
While he was thus doing duty a
hillman managed to crawl quite
close to him without exciting notide
and, waiting quietly until the sen
try was near the end of his walk
and, o f course, with his back to the
horse, the robber cut the charger’s
rope, mounted him and in a mo
ment was galloping from the sta
tion.
The sentry fired his rifle in the
direction in which his mount had
gone, the guards turned out and a
great noise was raised, but the out
witted soldier never saw his horse
again.— Harper’s Weekly.
