W.T. Slater was displaying his revolver
in the Commercial hotel at Atlantic ,
when the weapon was accidentally dis
charged , the ball passing through his
right hand.
K.i. \ . Smith , who represents the non-
board companies here , has been called to
Atlantic to write up some heavy pol
icies there. He recently was sent lor by
dome Omaha parties for a like purpose ,
and is being kept on the jump with an
increasing business.
The city authorities propose shutting
down on all further street improvements ,
mieh as changes in the street-car track ,
necessitating the tearing up aud replac
ing of ( laving , until warm weather. It is
almost impossible to relay paving in as
good condition as it was originally- when
the weather is so intensely eold.
Yesterday afternoon a wo'man ii :

that it was thought that she was insane ,
hut she soon full in a tit , and went Irom
one into another. She was at last identi
fied as living in the city , anil her residence
being iearned her friends were fcent for

Yesterday a fellow who hadn't sworn
oil' enough to be able to tell his name.
staggered into police headquarters , and
was promptly irivon a place to sleep behind -
hind the bars. He had a new suit of
clothes in a bundle and had dampened
them too enthusiastically. The marshal
remarked that it was pretty tough when
a drunk had to run himself in.
It doesn't sonm to wont well to have
the police paid in cash. There hasn't
been an arrest made in two days. When
the boys were paid in warrants tho.y Ubed
to hunt all over town for the highest
bidder for them , and in ( his hunt used to
run across plenty ot victims to run in.
Now they don't have to do this. Perhaps
this accounts for the lack of cases. Either
this or too many tolks swore oil' and are
sticking to it.
The Nonpareil pounces upon the
Council Blnft's herald because the latter
is delayed a few days in getting out its
annual "boom" edition. A paper which
has to wait until the 10th for telegraphic
news which ought to have been here on
the 1st is not in very good shape to find
fault at a few days delay in the issuance
of an annual. The old lady should not
get too frisky about heaving rocks until
who gets her own windows boarded up.
Chase , of the Atlantic Democrat , throws
pitch-hot at "a lawyer named Overtoil ,
with a sweet-smelling reputation , " who
has filed applications for injunctions
against thirty-five saloon-keepers in Coun
cil HhiHs. Captain Uverton is not a law
yer , and if Chase does not know any
more about him than is indicated hy Ins
ignorance of Captain Overtoil's business ,
it is probable that ho "went it blind" in
attempting to belittle the reputation of
the inpinction-scckor.

Yesterday afternoon shortly after 1
o'clock the llrst lire alarm of the season
was given. It provcd4to be caused by the
discovery of llamcs in n one-story build
ing on East Pierce , occupied as a resi
dence by two colored families , Alex Jenkins -
kins and JefT Parkins. The intense cold
prevented as iiiick | work as otherwise
would be done and the Jinnies soon
swept away the front and a portion of
the roof. The building isowned by C. A.
Bocbo and was insured for ? 200 in the
I'nion ' , of California , in Odell Bros. &
Co.'s agency. This will cover the loss
fully. The cause of the blaze was n de
fective Hue.
A Hcti ntlonnl I > i covory.
John Green , who was lately elected by
such a rmi'-ing majority to the responsi
ble position of township trustee , has been
examining the laws relative to the ofliee.
He has made some discoveries which are
qnitc sensational. It has generally been
supposed that tlie duties of the board of
trustees were not numerous , as there is
but little of the township which does not
I'oinu direct Iv under the city government.
Mr. Green has boon looking the matter
up , and discover * , according to his con
struction of the law , that the township
tru-tecs arc really at the top , way up over
any city council or any municipal oigani-
/.ation whatovci. The city council and
the park commissioners should make a
report to the township trustees , for the
city is incorporated within the limits of
the township , and n part thereof , rather
than a distinct organi/ation. On making
this discovery he conclude1 it best that
some move should be made , anil so he in
structed the clerk , Mr. Lut ? ; , to call a
meeting of the township board to be held
yestenUiy afternoon , to lake steps to have
the park commissioners report to the
board. The meeting was not held , so far
as known , probably the time was too
short in which the park commissioners
could prepare n detailed statement of
their actions. The. new revelation is the
most sensational discovery yet niudo in
the form of city and township organiza
tions , anil comes almost up to a coal find ,
lor it if pans out well it will elevate the
position of township trustee to a pinaelo
which Mr. Green's humble predecessors
have not dared to hope for.

No Murphy
The county board of supervisors wore
in session all of yesterday. They looked
none the worse for having been in a body
to see Joe Murphy the night before , but
as they looked over the accounts of the
superintendent of the poor , Mr. Hardin ,
they could not forget the huge sandwich
which Murphy prepared for poor little
Tim. It came to their minds in strange
contrast with the economical policy of
this county in the treatment of thu poor.
They scrutinized the figures none the less
carofull.v , though , and finding the ac
counts rijrht to a penny , smiled approv
ingly. Little else was done , beyond the
transaction of sumo equally routine busi
ness , in which there was little news to bo
thawed out.

It is new liero , but comes most highly en
dorsed by Now York and other drum alia
critics , Public interest has been strangely
excited , not only by the moritof the play ,
but from the pathetic history of its pro
duction. The lamented Will Carton ) ,
whoso writings have choorcd so many
households , Is its author , and at his death
this play was the sole Jcguoylefl his little
daughter. Friends attempted in vain to
secure its production , until Mr. Miner
became interested and gave the play a
proper production , in the hopu that the
experiment might prove a source of rev
enue to the child. His hopes wore more
than rewarded by the instantaneous suc
cess achieved by the play. lie then made
a ten years' contract , thus guaranteeing
the child a handsome yearly revenue
aud raising her from a position of ohnr-
ity to one of'independence and oven
wealth. Thus the work of the father
now gone brings to his little daughter the
cheer and snppoil needed.

Tuesday of last week , through the instru

in the hands of Sheriff Mooney , who , ac
companied by Deputy Sheriff McCraeken
and the mayor , proceeded to search the
premises supposed to bo used for the sale
of into.\icnting liquors. The hunt re
sulted In the capture of three kegs sup
posed to contain liquor of an intoxicating
nature , which arc now in limbo , await
ing preliminary examination. The kegs
were taken from the drug store of Fitz
gerald & Co. , aud if the contents arc
proven to be intoxicants the question
will then be settled as to whether the par-
tics from whom the same was taken have
a legal right to it. The matter will proba
bly soon' bo settled. The ofllccrs failed
to llud any liquor at the balance of the
places searched , but there seems to bo a
general opinion that it was because the
proprietors hail got wind of the search
in time to secrete their "wet goods' " be
fore the search was instituted. The pro
prietors of the drug store made no at
tempt to evade the search and claim the
goods taken to have been legally in
their possession.

OLD SUNFLOWER BELKER.
Part ol'IIIin Slutuls Haclc of the Hai
ti ) Vruutahlo Korm.
Back of thu bar in the Tivol ! tavern in
Anaconda , Montana , stands an enorm
ous sunflower stalk , dry aud tough , with
n bir ; faded moon of a blossom at the tot ) .
"That is old Sunllowcr Helker , " said
the landlord in aiiswjr to a question by n
stranger who manifested an interest in
the plant. "Never hoard of old Helker ,
I presume ? Well , 1 did. Pll tell you
about him after a while.1
An hour or two later , when things had
quieted down some , the landlord drew up
to the stove and said : "Old Belker was a
friend of mine , and 1 never go back on a
friend. He wa a prospector and miner ,
though he never mined much , and for the
ten yeais preceding 1870 ho was all over
the country from the Missouri river clear
through to the Columbia. If some men
had covered the ground that ho did they
would have been rich twenty times over.
He was in the Hig Horn range before
some of the later explorers who claim to
lit'.vo been there first were out of school ,
and he knew half the Indians in the west
by name. They never hurt him , nor he
them.
"At the time I am speaking about I
was down near Fetterman , and old Bel-
ker used to come and ee me every little
while. One day in the spring of 1870 ho
left my place to go to Virginia City , say
ing that he would be back in a month or
two. Ho had considerable dust just then ,
and besides leaving some with mo took a
good sack with him , For two or three
months I thought little about him , but at
length when ho had been gone a month
over his time , I began to make inquiries
about him. Parties in Virginia City said
lie had not been there , and I began to
believe that he gone oil' in another direc
tion. At length I was obliged to give
up this theory. The summer
passed oft"with no tiding *
of Jielker. The Indians were
on the warpath that year , but no ono
ever heard of an Indian who would hurt
the old man , aud i dismissed that thought
as soon as it entered my mind. All that
winter I kept stewing about him , and in
the spring of ' S , as soon as I could got
oiil I made the trip to Virginia , thinking
1 might lind some trace of him. Late in
the summer I went out again , taking a
different trail which he sometimes fre
quented , but without any better success.
Then J pave him i-p. That full I came
here , and the eve of Christmas , 187S , as I
sat here alone by this hero stove , an idea
popped into my head as quick as a liash.
'That's ' where the old man is , ' I said to
in.yt.elf. 'I'll lind him if it takes a leg. '
" On my last trip in the summer 1 hail
noticed down on Crazy Woman's Fork" a
duster qt sunllowcrs with ono particularly
big one in the middle. I was so much in
terested in limling old Belker alive that I
never thought much on this point , but as
J sat hero ihat night the whole thing
came up to me as clear as daylight. Hcl-
kcr was under the sunflower , and I'll toll
you why. IIo ahyiys carried n lot of sun
flower seeds in his pocket , why nobody
know , but it was probably that which
gave him his name. Everybody called
him 'Old Sunflower. ' but 1 never paid
much attention to the reason for it J
didn't wait long after that in getting
started for the place where 1 had seen the
Himllowurs. It wns a hopeless search , bid
1 made it in good faith , coining back with
no success. Later on 1 tried it again , anil
this time I found the stalk that ono
there behind the bar standing just
as you too it _ now. All the
others had disappeared , having
been whipped down by the
winds , but this one Mood up straight ,
strong , and stiff as a telegraph pole with
out oven a crack in it. I had expected to
bo compelled to dig up n good many sun-
llower stalks , but , seeing only ono , I was
considerably relieved , i diuthe. earth
away from the roots and with the shovel
which I had brought I MJOU exposed a
skeleton with the big sunllower's roots
entwined around every bone. It was old
Belker sum enough , as I could toll by the
teeth , but nothing was left of him but the
bones , and they wore beginning to crum
ble. Ho had been killed and buried
there in about a foot of earth , and the
Minitower seeds in his pocket had
nprnnted , showing where ho lay. How
ho was killed I never learned , but I shall
always believe that thieves did it , though
there were .some accounts of the soldiers
finding a dead man in that section and
burying him , His gold was gone of
course. If it hadn't been for the seeds
in his pocket no ono would have known
what became of him.
"Well , things didn't go then as they do
now , and after thinking the matter over
n while 1 concluded to leave the old
man's bones there and bring the HUH-
tlowor , which was more like 'him anil
handier to keep , back witii me. So 1
covered up the skeleton aud piled a lot of
stones on the place to mark the grave
and brought thu stalk homo. It's been
behind my liar over since , and it's going
to stay thero. I call it 'Old Sunflower
Bclkur,1 because there is a heap of him
in it. and it ro ombles him , being tough.
Up whore his bones Ho yon can now see
til any time in the summer as pretty a
patch of sunflowers as is to bo found wu.t
of the Mississippi , and they all started
from the seed the old man carried. That's
all thorois to that. "
ol' the Coyote.
Krnest Jngorsoll , in Popular Science
Monthly for January : It Is during the
weeks going just before and following
immediately after the birth of the puppies
that the old dog-coyotes work their hardest
and most systematically. In hunting ut
this time , our wolf adds to his ordinary
pertinacity and zeal , the sagacity and en
durance necessary to turn his victims
and drive them back as near as possible
to his home , knowln < r that otherwise his
mate and her weaklings will bo unable to

His game and its gelling arc not al

of his life seems lo be the satisfying of a
hunger which is always craving ; anil to
this aim all his cunning , impudence , and
audaeilv are mainly directed. " Nothing
