New York Journal. One of the most desperate curred between George Scar borough and posse and a band of cattle thieves who were being pursued into the Chiricabua mountains. The shooting took place at Triangle Springs , about sundown. Scarborough had been on the trail of the thieves for several weeks and pur sued them into the roughest portion of the Chiricahuas. The thieves evident ly planned to ambush the officers , and Scarborough fell into the trap. Just as the party were descending Into a canyon the crack of a rifle was heard , and Scarborough fell from his horse. His companions were the targets for a dozen sKbts , and two were slightly In jured as they were dismounting. A rifle pit was at once thrown up , and Scarborough was dragged under its protection , while the remaining offic ers took up the fight against the des peradoes. The outlaws never left their position , and kept up a constant fire in the hope of killing the officers as they raised their heads to fire. At dark firing ceased and one of the of ficers was sent to San Simon , where he secured the assistance of a number of cowboys. The Injured officers were left in the rifle pit throughout the cold night in the snow and sleet , and it was feared that Scarborough would not be able to stand the severe exposure. The band of thieves consisted of six men who are supposed to be well- known cattle rustlers who have been driving cattle from ranges for many years. There were but three men in the party that Scarborough was trail ing , but it is believed that the thieves led the officers to their rendezvous , where they secured the assistance of the other outlaws , who took part in the fight. The report of the fight says that fifty shots were fired , and had it not been for the generalship shown by the injured Scarborough in ordering his men to throw up a rifle pit , the entire pursuing party would have been wip ed out. The cattle men are now or ganizing a posse composed of cowboys to follow the trail of the cattle thieves into the mountains. It is hardly pos sible to enter the Chiricahuas without a repetition of the affair of last night , owing to the deep canyons and the natural hiding places afforded by the precipitous range. George Scarbor ough is well known all over the south west as one of the most daring of ficers In the service. He has been en gaged as a ranger in Texas , New Mexi co and Arizona for many years. AN OFFENDING CONSUL. British Representative Charged "With Talking About Senator Mason. Arthur Vansittart is the British con sul at New Orleans. He made some disparaging remarks.so it is said.about Senator Mason , which he denies , and the senator is hot after his scalp. Mr. Vansittart is one of the most experi enced men in the British consular ser vice , having been stationed on consu lar duty at Madrid , Lisbon , Berlin , Mu nich , Stuttgart , Constantinople , Ath ens , Roumania , Servia and the Argen tine Republic. He was consul at Chicago cage from 1895 to 1897 , before serving at New Orleans , and was personally and well acquainted with Senator Ma son of Illinois , whom he is said to have denounced , and who has brought the demand for his retirement. Mr. Vansittart , in spite of his Dutch name , and the fact that he was born in Paris , and educated in France and Germa.iy , is a typical Englishman in appearance , language , manners and opinions. The Vansittart family has been settled in England since 1668 , when they came over in the train of William III. of Orange , and have lived at Windsor , where they own a fine estate , ever since. Mr. Vansittart is 45 years of age , six f ? * t in height and of a vigor ous build and constitution. He was born in Paris , where big.parents , both English , were temporarily resident at the time. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Didn't See the Birds. "We tried to keep the railway car riage to ourselves from Liverpool to London , " wrote an American bride. "At Busby , the guard opened the door , and , in spite of Fred's scowls , lifted a small girl into our compartment , mak ing a lot of apologies about having no place else to put her. She was a real little tow-headed English girl of about 7 , and she sat down on the edge of the seat and stared about her. 'What is the matter , Miss Victoria ? ' asked Fred. 'I don't see the birds , ' said the small girl , plaintively. 'Birds ? What birds ? ' asked Fred. 'When I came from my other train , your guard said to my guard , "Shove her in along wif the love-birds. " Where are they ? ' " The Electric-Light Tree. In Central America has been found the electric-light tree , the milk tree and the bread tree. The electric-light tree gives a light so strong that a per son can read or write by it at night. The milk tree has a thick , tough skin that can be used for half-soling shoes. To milk the tree a hole is bored in the trunk ; then it lets down sap as white and as sweet as any ever milked from a cow. The bread tree has a solid fruit , a little larger than a cocoanut , which , when cut into slices and cooked , can scarcely be distinguished from excellent bread. Taklne a Fall Out of Her Friend.

THE REPORT OF A MAN OF EXPERIENCE. What He Found in Western Canada to Induce Him to Settle There , Sault Ste. Marie , Mich. , Feb. 20th , 1900. To Whom it May Concern : Especi ally to those who are desirous of ob taining health and wealth for them selves and families , I wish to state a few facts in regard to the Canadian North-west , where I went , leaving Sault Ste. Marie on May 2nd , 1899 , for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family In the future. I got a special rate ticket for Ft. McLeod , Al berta. Through Manitoba and part of Assinlbola the farmers were busy em ployed ploughing and seeding. I found the farmers very kind and friendly , willing to talk and assist in giving me the particulars of the coun try. At McLeod I spent a few days looking over some ranchers' stock , which I was surprised to see looking so well ; they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw in Michigan , even those that had been stabled , and most of these had never seen the in side of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as I was also looking for mixed farm land I found McLeod no place for me , it is only fit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to Winni peg , I stopped off at Lethbridge , where I found some of the greatest horse ranches I ever had the pleasure of looking at. It is a fine level country , and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat , which is located in a valley , there were lots of sheep , cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well. On July 14th I went to Regina , there I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance , and the crops looking re markably well , and as long as daylight lasted I saw the same all along the line and on the 15th day of July I ar rived In Winnipeg , just in time for the exhibition. There I met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the world's records , for as soon as I en tered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery , all in motion , and the cattle , grain and produce of the country was far beyond my expec tation , in fact it was beyond any in dustrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert , a dis tance of 250 miles , it is all good for mixed farming , and well settled , with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain , just coming Into head , would take a man to the waist , and the wild fruit along the line was good , rich and in great quantities , from Saskatoon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river , to Prince Al bert on the north branch of the same river , is one of the best farming dis tricts without any doubt that ever laid face to the sun , and everything to be found there , that is necessary to make life comfortable , all that is required is labor. There is lots of wood , good water , and abundant hay land , and the climate is excellent. Prince Albert is a flourishing little place , situated on the north Sas katchewan river , having a population of about 1,800 , with good street and sidewalks and churches of nearly every denomination , three school houses , and another one to be built at once , also a brewery and a creamery. Here I stayed for about four months , working at iny trade of bricklaying , and met with farmers and ranchers with whom I made It my special busi ness to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out In the country while crops were in full bloom , and I may say that I never saw better crops in all my travels than I saw along the valley to wards Stoney Creek and Carrot River. In the market garden there Is grown currants , both red and black , and as fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market. The soil in and around this district cannot be beaten for anything you may wish to grow , and besides the season Is long , giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking as good as I saw anywhere , good pasture and hay land , and plenty of water wherever you go. The country is dotted all around like islands with timber fit for fuel and building purposes and within a day's walk of lumbering woods , where lumbering and tie making is carried on In winter. Both large and small game is plentiful. There are two good saw mills In this district , with a good supply of all grades of lumber all the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reason able price. Clothing and living are no higher than I find in Michigan , and furthermore I wish to say that there is a great demand for laboring men all the year round and good wages rang ing from $1.75 to ? 2.00 per day , and from ? 25.00 to ? 35.00 per month with board. I wish to say that I am perfectly sat isfied with the country and I intend to return to Prince Albert early in the spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can go there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family , and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall , desires more information , please write to me and I will freely give them my best opinion. I am writIng - Ing this for the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friends. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home , I remain Your humble servant , ( Signed ) WILLIAM PAYNE.
