"Toll you. lie's got a liang-dog

Kvory man in thu camp was down on
thu fresh arrival, ami that without
cuuho. Ordinarily wo woro a jolly Hot,
and a Htriuigor coming among us mot
with words of clioor, but that afturnoon
thu duvil was to pay. Tho thruu mules

the hools of this discovery oamo tho an
nouiioomont that wo had only salt
onougli to last two days, whilo tho sugar
was uutiroly gone.
So wo woro oross-grainod and out of
sorts, and it was lucky for tho strangor
that lio gavu us no uausu to plok iiqutir

and if it hadn't boon for Judgo Slashor
Homo of us would havo gono ovor and
oxuusod our manuors and askod tho
ntninjrer to chip in and bocomo noiirli-

"lie's a bud tin, ho is. 1 kin toll it
iby thu way his liuutl is sot on his

too will coma along horo and gobblo
him up fur robbery or miirdor."
Two wuoks had passed, and whilo
Homo of us had given tho .strangor a
curt "good morning" uo ono had
struck hands witli him, or outorud his
shanty lo smoke a friendly pipo. Thou
4i climax came. Thu six of us occupy
ing ono shanty woro working in com
mon, and our bag of dust was buried in
a cornor of tho hro-placu. Ono morn
ing this bag was missing, and you can
imagine that thoro was a iirst-ulass row
in no time. Thoro was the hole whore
some ono had dug under tho stones and
carried off our treasure and whom
woro wo to suspootP Wo had faith in

whoro our bag was concealed, and be
cause this was tho tirst ease of stealing

Yos, wo woro mad, and in tho excite

near having a iroe light among our

that's proof enough that ho came here
for no good purpose."
it was a straw to catch at. Wo had
lost in a night all wo had gainod by
months of hard work, and wo didn't
ton to reason. It was decided to lay
the ohargu at tho stratigor's door, and I
if ho could prove his innoooncoso muoh J
tho bolter for him.
The nows that tho Whlto House, as
we called our shanty, luul boon robbed,
spread liko wildliro, and as wo startud
for tlio stranger's claim ourcrowd num
bered a lull hundred. Ho was outside
at work, and as ho saw us coming ho
was startled. Tho angry murmurs and
black looks must have frightened him.
You will suv that an innocent man
would have' staved and braved tho
.storm. As the crowd swooned down
on this man bo started off at a run.
'HaltMlalt' Halt, o.r we'll shoot!"
shouted a score of men.
He's tho thief stop him! stop him!"
roarod tho .Judge.
Five or six shots woro tired almost as
one, and tho fugitive tumbled forward
on tho rocks. Three bullets entered
his back, and as tho foremost men bent
ovor him and turned his wh'te, scared
faco to tlii) heavens he iraspod out:
" You havo murdered mo (Jod for
give you!"
" Now to search him!" said tho. Judgo
as hu came up, ami a half dozen hands
made quick work it. Rusting on his
breast, and mado fast to his nock by a
ribbon, was a package wrapped in oil
skin. Thoro was a Mutter of excite
ment as tho .Judge rtideh snapped the
string and held tho package in his hand.
It was our dust.
No! Wo formed in a circle around
the judge as he sat on a rock and open
ed the package, and in loss than a min
ute thoro were white faces among us.
What were tho contents! A photograph
of a fair faced middle aged woman, and
on tho card was written:
"Mury-dled .luiin tlth 1857."
That was the dead man's wife! There
was a second photograph that of a
babe about a year old, and the Judge
road aloud in a trembling voice:
"Our Hie ry -died AprlNth, 1W7."
That was not all. On a card wore looks
of their hair. Thoro was a gold ring
once worn by tho wife, a faded ribbon
which her lingers had touched, and a
bit of plaid liko the dross the baby wore
when photographed. Relics of whatP
Of years agono of a fond wife and
beautiful child of joy and happiness
of a husband's love and a father's grief!
And wo were looking down upon
these things and feeling our hearts
swelling up and our eyes growing misty
when up conies our good-for-nothing,
half-witted cook with Uie bag of dust
in his hand! in repairing I ho lire-place
he had moved the bair, and in tho ex
citement ovor Its supposed loss what
little wit he had was irightonod away
for the moment. The hole under tho
stones had been made by some small
animal in search of food, and in our
haste we had accused and murdered r.n
innocent man.
It oamo to us in full force as wc stood
there, and men sighed and wiped their
oyos and walked away with trembling
stops. Tho .Judge felt that ho was
most to blame. Ho was looked upon
as a hard, wicked man, but those rel
ics of tlio dead broke him up. Ho sat
there and wept like a child, and in a
voice hardly audible for his great emo
tion, ho moaned:
" Heaven forgive me for this awful
deed!"
Willi sorrow witli tenderness with
hearts liko children, we dug a grave
and put the poor body into it, and witli
his own hands the Judge planted tho
head-boaid and ongravedt hereon:
"Hero lies a man as was wronged!"

The butcher Is generally a good man,
but sometimes has a bad woigli of show

Tlio butcher is a jolly follow; there
fore, it is meat that he cuts up occa
sionally. Ho is a good husband, and his wife
cleaves unto him. He takes great care
of his cloavor. '
The butchor is a groat favorite among '
tho fair sox. Ho is always killing. I

and dispose of a fillet.
The butchor will knock down an o I

It has been said that what is bred in

but tho butcher gets muoh of his broad
In tho bono ho soils to you; and doesn't
this como out of the tlesht
Tho butcher has boon blamed for
charging you as much for tho bono as
for the llesh; but ho does not require
you to tako tho bono. Ho carefully re
moves all he can before ho sends it
homo.
Though tho butohor charges you
twonty-iivo cents a pound for bone, you
must rememher that ho sells tho same
bono to tho scavenger for tlirso cents.
So you fioo his average price is not
exorbitant.
Hatchers are almost invariably fleshy
men. A meat shop is the place to go u ,
you want to got fat. i
The butohor is a great wag. Ho has ,
been known to sell kittens for rabbits.
It is too bad to make game of poor l'uss. i
Tho butcher is usually very court- '
ecus, but some of his best customers
frequently got the cold shoulder from
him. '
Tho butohor soon finds out a poor-
paying customer, and will at once cut
him oil', if you go to him for a pound i
of steak tho chances are that ho will out ,
you oil two. I
It is said that tho butcher will as. soon
out a steak oil' a cow as a steer. This is '
a miss steak.
If you ask for a tender steak, the
butchor will sometimes "lit a slice from

This makes it tender, but is it a

if an old hen fall into his grasp, ho
will transulute it into a spring chicken.
This is a fowl proceeding.
The butcher pa) s for most of his tools,

Tho butohor is noted for his ologanco

When beef becomes a grain stalo the
butcher makes corn beef of it.
The butohor is dillerent from tho

A (Jtninison Hear Slor.i.
Kvory one who has had occasion dur
ing tlio past few days to pass Ed Sells
ci Co.'s store has doubtless had his cu
riosity aroused by the sight of a mon
ster bear skin suspended from one of
tho door-posts. Doubtless it has oc
curred to many that this very mam
moth skin might have behind it a very
mammoth story.
Instigated by the natural curiosity
which such a suspicion would incite,
tho reporter boldly attacked tho sub
ject and was at length rewarded by
having pointed out lo him the man
who lirought in tills tropliv of tho
chase. Dressed in a dink suit, with
high hunting boots, a bluo shirt, a soft
white hat; an athletic, xvoll-knit form
surmounted by a head a painter would
unvy. oyos of stool bluo, tho observed
was a fair sample of American man
hood. Ho refused to allow his name to
be used, but gave tho facts us follows:
Some time in August a party of three
or four wont out from Kuby on a hunt.
When thoy had reached a point about
twenty miles west of Itubv, on the res
ervation, they succeeded in killing
some half-dozen deer. Not being able
to transport their game they buried it
and left, intending to return later on.
About a month afterward two of tho
party returned, and, much to their dis
gust, found tho deer had been dug up
bv a boar, as I hoy supposed. One of
them, accompanied by txvo dogs, start
ed in nursuit of tho bear on his trail.
'I followed," said this gentleman, "up
mountains and then down again, like
tho King of Franco; across gulches and
basins, where probably no white man
had ever been before. All the time the
trail grew more distinct, and the suspi- j
cion that palpitated my heart became i
