The .old prospector had something on his
mind. That was evident from the manner
In which ho tugged al hla ragged , grlzzlcJ
inuitniihc , as well -as from the contraction
of hla/ / shaggy cyotorowo. I had known
Charllo McBrldo In tho-cnrly days of Lead-
vlllo nearly twenty years ago , cays a
writer'In Facts , and ho wan an old pros
pector then , as well as a mighty Nlmrod ,
Vague nimor had It that Charllo had been
a little cureless as to the ownership ol
horses nnd cattle down In the Indian Ter
ritory , .l . > ut I never referred to the subject
and hb never -volunteered any Information
on U. I was satisfied with the knowledge
that ho was the meat scrupulously honest
and conscientious man In his dealings with
mo that I had ( or have ) over known , He
was punctilious on these points almost to
the extent of being finicky. Ho once lost n
halt day'e work ( of the value or $2 to him )
In return two 1)lts that ho had been over
paid. Ills friendship reminded one of the
dovJtlon of a Newfoundland dog. It neither
recognized danger , or discomfort , or hard/- /
ship. Ho once traveled ( seven miles on enow-
Hhoes In the teeth ot a ibllzzard to warn mo
ot the treachery of a professed friend. He
olmost succumbed to the cold and was dis
abled for weeks. We worked , suffered and
prospered together In Lcadville and then be
came pcparated.
I had lost all trace of Charlie for many
years until 1 met him on Bennett avenue
In .Cripple Creek several months ago , Ho
had Just como In from a prospecting trip
down toward Sallda. It required several
days to bring the recital of our respective
adventures down to the present. Then , of
course , we both became reminiscent nnd
fairly reveled In recollections of the "good
bid days" when wo laughed at blows that
would knock tin out In these days. When
wo tjcparaated , I extracted a promise-from
Charlie tl.at ho would vlalt mo In the
Springs , and the other day he fulfilled his
promise. Wo had had n good dinner , with
Homcthlng wet to wash It down , had lit our
pipes nnd drawn our chairs to the open fire ,
nnd were settling ouraolvcs to a long talk ,
when I observed the contraction ot the old
prospector's beetling brows and Instantly
know there was something unpleasant on
hlrt mind. I guessed that It referred to some
thing In Cripple Creek and decided to put
ouit a feeler.
THTC CRIPPLE CREEK CROWD.
"Well , Charlie , " I began , "how do you
llko Crlpplo Creek ? " The frown deepened
a bit , and ho took a long pull at his pipe
before answering. "There Is no doubt , "
he finally snld , "that the camp Is what they
call It the greatest gold camp on earth but
It's not what Pvo been accustomed to In ths
way of mining camps. There's lots of old
miners and good ones there , but they're not
In a majority , by a long shot. It some
times sccniH to mo that I'vewandered Into
n Kansao farming town , and look around
half expecting to see people cutting hay or
ploughing for a now crop. The gold's there ,
all right.hut it seems to mo that lots of the
fellows who are looking for It\ could pros
pect a heap better with a plow than with
n pick. Why , If one-half the push , energy
and money was employed In developing
Crlpplo Creek that was put Into the Lead-
vlllo district In the early days , the output
of gold for the last year would have been
JL'5,000,000 , Instead ot half that amount. What
they need there Is more capital nnd moro
mining men not fancy experts with cordu
roys and leather leggings , but real mining
men. If wo had the old western 'push' In
stead of hayseeds developing Cripple Creek ,
you wouldn't hear the yell that's swooping
over the country and n dozen other coun
tries of 'Ho , for the Klondike ! ' Itwould
bn 'Ho , for Cripple Creek ! '
"But , I was not thinking so much of the
development of the camp as I was of Its
moral tone. I.had heard for the past five
or six years that It was the most moral
and orderly camp In the history of mining.
And , perhaps , from the parsra'o standpoint ,
It la. 'But they have a different standard of
morals In Cripple Creek from that of any
camp I over struck. Miners , as I used to
know them , would gamble and drink till
the cows came homo. I knew a few who
would cheat at cards , but I never knew ono
who would steal till I went to Crlpplo
Crcuk. " At this point Charllo banged Uio
table with his clenched fist , and I know , he
had reached the burden on his mind. "In
Crlpplo Creek , " ho went on , after a pause ,
"I have been robbed of everything from
a. plug of tobacco to an overcoat. It was
potty robbery , of course , but that makes It
the moro ngravatlng. If they stole my
house ( as they did In Lcadvlllo ) I would
laugh and let It go. 7Jut to have my pocket
picked la a mining camp makes mo wild.
Remnmber , I don't say the miners did It ,
for I know they didn't. An I said before ,
the genuine miners in Cripple are all right ,
but I don't understand a mining camp where
pickpockets would bo allowed to llvo for
ono minute.
SPINNING A STORY.
"And that brings jno to the story T In
tended to spin when I started out. It was n
short tlmo before I wet you that 1 had a
camp at the head ol IoVa Gulch , up near Bald
Mountain. Thorn were no shippers In the
gulch above the Long & Derry mlno In those
days , but the prospects were good nnd there
worn probably 300 men working between the
Arkaiitww vnllry and old Baldy. In those
days every miner left his cabin door open
when ho went to work and It was well un
derstood thnt every traveler was welcome to
outer , cook himself a meal , or take n sleep
In ono of the bunks. Hospitality among min
ers and prospectors nt that tlmo was an In
stitution thnt wns taken for granted , nnd
It wns an Institution that I never know to
ho abused until the Incident that I am going
to tell you. Ono of the boya who had bepn
In town brought out n newspaper which con
tained an account of the operations of a
cabin thlof in California dutch , which wa
Just over Printer Boy Hill from our gulch.
The story wan rend aloud and fully discussed
In our little camp that night. Some ot the
boys especially the old-timers thought It
was a fake , but most ot us concluded that the
thief wns a tenderfoot 'tin horn1 gambler
who had violated the laws of hospitality In
Hoarch of n stake. At all events It was unan
imously decided that-tho eld rule of 'latch-
string out' still wentF
"Tho next morning about 9 o'clock I was
pushing a load of waste out on the dump
when I heard a couple of pistol snots down
the gulcb. If they had been rlflo shots I
would have paid no attention to them , for
there was lots of game In the gulch and
hardly a day wrnt past without some of us
bagging fresh meat. Hut pistol shots were
used as signals by the boys either of wel
come or of warning. My dump -was up on
the side of Long & Derry Hill and I had
a clrnr view of the gulch all the way to the
Arkansaw valloy. Iiisldo of a mlnuto the
hots were answered by a dozen others and
I could see men running down from both
Long & Derry and Printer Boy Hills. They
loemcd to bo pursuing someone and I In-
Bluntly thought of the ttory ot the cabin
thief wo had read about thu night before. I
ran to my cabin at the foot ot the hill and
the bedding in all of the bunks was turned
topsy-turvy. Then I kuew the cabin thlof
was out doing business. You know the habit
of miners In concealing their valuables bo-
twein the mattresses. I saw that my silver
watch and pockelbook were gone and with
out looking farther I ran back to the tunnel
ltd called the boy * . We flred off our rcvoU
vent to let them know down the gulcb that
wo had heard and understood their signal ,
and started down the gulch on an Indian
trot.
TUB LYNCHING PARTY.
"We hare gen about a tulle , when wo
met a crowd ot men marching toward * us.
There were about fifty miners and In the
middle of the bunch was a young fellow
with his handfl tied behind him" . Ho wns
the cabin thief and ho belonged to the
genus I had described the night before
a tenderfoot tin-horn gambler. Ho was only
about 20 years old. His face was llko that
of a corpno and ho was trembling so
violently he could hardly walkj nnd the boys
had to help him or he would have fatleti.
Ho was not so much of a. tenderfoot but
thnt ho knew that his crlmo was punishable
by death , according to the minors' laws ,
that were still In force In the gulches and
were tacitly recognized by the courts and
the authorities. The boys were bringing
him to my camp for n lynch trial or an
execution without one and as the procoralon
moved along , the cabins were examined to
find out the extent of his depredations. He
had only broken Into three' cabins when he
was discovered. Ho had stolen two watches
and .three pocketbooks , but only ono watch
was found on him. The others he had
thrown away when he waa pursued and they
were subsequently recovered.
"By the tlmo wo reached my camp there
were about 100 miners In the crowd. They
wcro very quiet nnd ns' they marched along
It was very suggcnttvo of a funeral proces
sion. Nearly all of the boys had guns strap
ped on them , for in those days everyone
went armed , The crowd stopped In front
of my cabin and the prisoner was told to
sit down , since his legs were too weak to
hold him up. 'You won't need 'cm long ,
anyway,1 said an ohl * 49'cr grimly , ns ho
gave the boy a purfi that sent htm sprawlIng -
Ing en Iris back. Turning to mo the old
Argonaut said : 'Charlie , get us n rope , we've
lost too much tlmo over this coyote already.
I saw the general sentiment wns In favor
of hanging the boy without any trial what
ever : In fact , no one seemed to think of any
other disposition of the case. ( Although 1
had seen several men lynched , I had never
taken any active part In the proceedings ,
nnd I shrunk from being a party to this
boy's death. I had n theory that lynching
was Justified only In case of murder. So
I Instantly decided to try and save , the boy'a
life , though I knew that I would not add
to my popularity In doing so. Nearly half
of the miners present were young fcllowa ,
and I saw by tholr faces that they shrank
from taking human life , but they were
afraid to assert themselves In the presence
of the Argonauts.
THE CAT OR TUB ROPE.
"I told the crowd that I had a few words
to say before they proceeded with the execu
tion , and' I asked whether the iboy admitted
hln crimes. As I expected , my words were
met with a howl of protest and profanity.
The lender declared that he never knew that
I was a d d rarson and that If ho had known
that I v.-as going to skulk ho would never
have done me the honor of bringing the fel
low to my cabin for execution. But I saw
I had the sympathy of the young fellows
and I didn't propose to give up without n
struggle. I aykcd the prfeoncr If he was
guilty or not , and , to my confusion , he
whimpered that he was. The old-timers
shouted , and laughc-d and yelled , 'Now bring
out your rope , or we'll fill him full of lead. '
Then I niado the only speech of my life.
I argued that back east , where the boy
came from , thieving was ns common among
people of his class as eating and drinking ,
nnd ho had prdba'bly been brought up to
regard It moro as a virtue than a crime.
The .boy . nodded assent to mo whllo the
tears rolled down his white faco. The
crowd tried to yell mo down , .but I held
my ground , and during a lull the boy
shouted tn me : 'I hnvo a good mother at
home ; for God's sake let me go iback to her
and I swear I'll lead nn hon3st life. ' The
moment ho uttered the word 'mother' that
ecttlcd It for me. I would have caved his
llfo or died fighting for It. I Itnow as long
as ho could apeak that sacred name , ho wns
not totally depraved and was worth saving.
I saw that It had Its effect on the boys
also.
t "I allowed the effect to soak In before I
continued with my speech , and then I threw
my whole soul into it. They told mo after
ward that I was actually eloquent. I
pleaded for the boy's life harder than J
could have for my own. I urged that ho bo
severely punished , > but not killed. I sug
gested that ho bo tied up by the thumbs ,
given thirty lashes on the bare Tjack and
then ordeerd to leave the district on pain
of death If caught therein within twenty-
four hours , I could eee that the plan was
favored .by . the younger clement , but the
barnacles still Insisted on hanging. , Then I
made a motion that the prisoner's fate too
decided by ballot and put the motion. I
declared that It was carried , although I
have alwayy had my doubts on that point.
I tore up a ehect of paper nnd handed each
man a slip with Instructions to write 'ropo'
or 'cat' on. It to signify hanging or lashing.
I had retained three slips In my hand and
wrote the word 'cat' on each and that's
the only tlmo I ever stuffed a ballot box.
I passed my hat around for the iballots and
chucked my three In last. Then three of us
counted them. Fifty 'ballots were marked
Topo' and llfty-ono 'cat. ' My crooked votes
had eavcd the boy's nook.
APPLYING TUB CAT.
"Tho cat , which was made by a big German
named Hugo Helkelfer , was the most terrl-
blo Instrument of torture I ever saw. Ho
took n heavy two-Inch leather strap and
doubled It. Then ho punctured about a dozen
holes through It and threaded each hole
with a leather thong , knotted on each end.
Then the strap was bound to a short hickory
stick , and the pat was completed. The boy ,
who had watched the preparation with starIng -
Ing eyes , was 'yanked to his feet , unbound ,
and stripped to his undershirt , which was
pulled over his head. Stout strips of leather
were bound to his thumbs nnd ho was hustled
to a tree In front of Hugo's cabin , on which
was a horizontal limb nbout six inches
higher than his head. The strips of leather
wore thrown over the limb and the prisoner
was hnulrd up untl ) his toes Just touched
the ground. Wo formed a circle around him
and the executioner , a long-llmbod son of
Kentucky , stepped forward , cat In hand. At
a signal from me , everyone counted 'one. '
The cat struck the bare flesh with a sicken
ing thud and the knotted thongs made
twelve little holes In the flesh from which
flowed n tiny etream of blood. Not a sound
c&mo from the boy until the sixth blow , and
then ho let out a shriek that wns hair-lift
ing and was heard two miles away. But
that was the only ( sound ho made. When
wo cut htm down after the thirtieth stroke
ho was unconscious. He revived after a
whllo nnd limped down the gulch. At mid
night ho was found unconscious nenr the
cabin of the old ' 49er , who had demanded
his life. Ho carried him Into his cabin ,
dressed bis lacerated back nnd helped him
to within sight of the lights of Loadvlllo.
Then ho gnvo him a flask of whisky and left
him , 'Peg-logged' Watson was city marshal
of Lcadvlllo at that time , and when I turned
over the boy's revolver , that was confiscated ,
to Watson the next day , ho cursed mo for
not hanging the thief. But ho did not know
all the circumstances. Whllo I was talking
with Watson the boy passed on the other sldo
of Harrison avenue with a roll of blankets
over his shoulder and that's the last I ever
saw or heard of him. I think ono lesson of
this kind In Crlpplo Creek will have a salu
tary effect. "

o FiM-iik Itrportcil from
Warm SprlniiM , Mont.
Ono of the most unaccountable and highly
lntorotlng freaks that has ever -been scan
In this city was brought to Anaconda , Mont. ,
says the Standard ot that place. It Is a mon
strosity In the calf line , but It lays the two-
headed nnd six-leggod calves In the shade.
The freak la a calf with the head of a seal
and without legs. Mention wns made a few
months ago In the Standard ot such a calf
having btxm born down near Warm Springs.
The nnlmnl was dead , of course. The freak
wns secured toy a man In Anaconda who
takes an Interest In such things , and lie
sent It nwayto a taxidermist , who mounted
It and sent It back. It arrived yesterday.
The freak Is about two nnd one-half feet
In length. The rear part of Its body U that
of a normal calf , 'being ' covered with a coat
ot white and red spotted hair. The toll Is
also perfect , Where the neck of a young
calf usually begins the red and white hair
on this freak begins to glvo way to a hair
of brown color. From the shoulders the
neck nnd head of the seal begins. The neck
U long and has the graceful contour of the
water animals. The head Is 'that of a nor-
mnl young seal pup. 'Even ' the tusks of the
seal are seen In embryo. The tusks are
covered by a coat of reddish skin , but they
ore perfectly visible for nil that.
Ono peculiar feature of this altogether
peculiar monstrosity Is that It Is entirely
devoid of legs. Where the legs of an
ordinary calf begin 'there are , on this freak ,
stumps , the bottoms ot 'which are perfectly
smooth nnd fiat. These stumps are covered
with the white and red hair. The freak as
mounted has Us head raised Into the air , In
the manner of seals when In the water , and
the rear portion lies fiat. It Is altogether a
very curious sight.
The freak ought to prove an Interes'liiR
study to anatomists and poisons who are
learned In such matters. The knowledge of
circumstances by which such a phe
nomenon could 'bo ' brought forth would ho
of moro than general Interest. The theory
generally accepted by men who ) have seen It
is that the cow from which the c.ilr came , a
short time prior to Its birth , caught sight ot
n seal , and the sight had such an effect ui .n
her mind that It was communicated to her
offspring. This theory Is In a way sub
stantiated by the fact that a short time
prior to 'the ' finding ot the freak , a , circus
passed 'through Deer Lodge valley which
numbered among Its menagcrlo properties
a herd of seals. It Is probable that the
mother of the calf , whllo gazing nt the
passing train , saw one ot the seals raise Its
head.

DEVIL'S LAKE , N. D. , Feb. 21. ( Special. )
An effort la now being made to procure
the removal of the Indians from the Fcrt
Totten reservation to a new reservation
either in this state or Montana. The reser
vation contains approximately 250.COO acres
of land and Its Indian population Is about
l.fiOO. It is claimed thnt the Indians are not
unfavorable to the scheme and ttint they
would prefer to bo located In a grazing coun
try , where they would have a better chnnco
to raise stock than they have here.
These lod'ans are suppcecd to be well ad
vanced In Iho paths ot civilization and not
to need the protecting coco of the great
father. With this understanding tholr ra
tions wcro withdrawn n few years ago and
tholr land was given to Hicm In severally.
They were expected to become tillers of the
soil nnd bonanza wheat farmers like their
whlto brethren across the lake , but the ex
periment has not exactly panned out after
that fashion. In fact , It Is eald that they
have accomplished very llttlo for themselves
In the line of farmtag and that a delegation
of chiefs will soon leave for Washington to
a.3k for assistance to keep tticlr people from
starving.
There Is another sldo to the proposed re
moval ofthese Indians. Under the law , slnco
they wcco allotted land In severally , they
have become full-fledged citizens nnd as such
entitled to vote and hold ofllce. They hold
the balance of political power In Benson
county , the greater portion of the reserva
tion being located within the boundaries ot
that county. An attempt was made to secure
a ruling which would prevent them from
exorcising Iho privilege ot citizenship , but
the courts decided In fnvor of the Indians.
Being citizens , they come Into possession of
other inalienable rights , such , for Instance ,
as the privilege of being fcupported by the
county when unable to support themselves.
The whlto taxpayers of Benson county antici
pate that sooner or later the county will bo
swamped financially by the demands whlcl.
the Indians will makn upon the county' . ?
poor fund. Naturally they nro strongly In
favor of the abandonment of ( Do reserva
tion.
Removing the Indians would not interfere
with the Industrial school. In fact , it would
bo better for the school , as no llttlo trouble
Is experienced from time to time on account
of insubordinate pupils who run nway and
go homo whenever the notion enters their
holds. Witli the old folks located at a dla-
tanco from the school this trouble would nut
bo experienced.
These who ace working to secure the re
moval of ttio Indians nnd the opening of the
ivjorvp.tlon nalho that It Is no small under
taking and that It will require tlmo amd
hard work to accomplish their purpose , bu :
the Importance of the project makes them

HELENA , Mont. , Feb. 21. ( Special. ) The
annual reports of the Board of Stock Com
missioners and the recorder of marks and
brands of the state of Montana for 1S97
bavo Just been published. The beard has
tendered Its twelfth annual report to the
governor , which embodies a synopsis of the
work of the board during the year , with
the report as an appendix , showing the
brands recorded for last year. The opera-
tlons of the force of Inspectors have been
successful , showing that during the year
eighty-one arrests for violation of the stock
laws were cffectpJ , and of this number forty-
two cases resulted In conviction and ten are
ponding. The capture of the Billo Fourcho
bank robbers was also effected through the
Inspectors.
During the past year a total ot 1.459 head
of stock wcro killed on the railroads of ths
state , OB raported by the Inspectors.
During the season of 1S97 the Inspectors'
reports show a total of 192,162 head of cat
tle marketed from Montana , and , estimating
home consumption at the usual figure ot
60,000 bead , the total output for the year
was 252,162. The average price was some
what above that of previous years , and , th
board believes , J37 1s an accurate estimate.
It will therefore bo observed that the total
revenue from the cattle Industry was nrarly
t.GOO,000 ,
In reference to at 1x1)13 the report says :
"Tho Inspectors at all tbo Inspection points
recovered 19,101 head of stray cattle from
Montana shipments , of a value of $7&0,000.
Of this number 6,125 were folU far to own-
era through the Montana Stock Growers' as-
soclatlon the total net proceeds of the tame
aggregating $225,372.49. This sum has been
disbursed to the respective owners residing
In every stele In the union to people who
uro nonresidents , but who own cattle Inter-
eats In Montana. "
The board eays this as to bounties : "The
bounty law appears to bo working effectively ,
and range reports Indicate that there Is a
very considerable docreaio In tbo number of
wolves over what It was prior to the enact
ment of this law. Owing to the efforts
that have been made to defraud the state
under this law , tbo oltlcors should bo ex

CLEVELAND , Feb. 21. "The world fo
ChrUt" is the war cry eniblazono.l upon tht
banner ot ono of thu most unique and \vlin
la claimed to bo ono of the mast poworfu
and cHlclem Christian enterprises the Inter
national Student Volunteer Movement foi
Foreign MI slccis which will hold Us con
vention Ifi Uild city Irom February 23 to 27
It will probably be ono of the largest mis
Elonary gatherings of the centucy. Some o
the best known men engaged In mloslonnrj
work , both In the field and at home , and
the greatest number of missionary boards
and organizations ever brought together none
ono time , will bo hero. 1'ractlcally over }
nation of civilization as well as ot heathen
dom will send delegates. Students , men am
women , nnd professcca , will como from ttu
flvo great continents of the world and fron
the Islands ot the eoa.
Cleveland will have the latch string out U
receive these representatives of Uio educa
tlccial world , Five thousand young men am
women of education and refinement , many
of them the possessors of more than OIH
college or university degree , nud hundreds
of them pledged to go Into the mission licit
such Is the character of the student volun
tccr movement , and of nuch material will tht
coming convention bo composed.
Important and far-reaching results arc dp-
pendent tipsn this gathering. A great rcvlva
and awakening of missionary Interest In al
civilized countries Is e.xpected to follow h
Its wake.
At a recent meeting In New York , to
which the mission bcarda wci-o Invited to
send representatives , and which was to be
an ofllclnl coufercnco of these bodies , twcn-
ty-aevcti were reprmontcd. This was re
garded at the time as a satisfactory showing
The cl-'irrctcr ot the student volunteer move-
ii-ent , which Is Interdenominational and not
olilcl'illy connected with any deiiounimiop ,
will bo apparent from the statement of ono
of thu olllcJals that "ovtc sixty of the de
nominational bodies are sure to send their
loading representatives to the meeting iu
Cleveland.
DELEGATES FROM TUB WOULD.
The countries which will bo oinelally rep
resented are Orcat Urltain , India , Hannah ,
Laos , Malaysia , Ctilna , Corca , Japan , Persia ,
Syria , Turkey , Macedonia , Africa ( north ,
central , south and west ) , Slexlco , Colombia ,
Brazil , Chill nnd the United States. There
will also bo representatives from southern
Europe and some of the Pacific Islanda.
The student volunteer movement has been
In existence only twelve years , yet it has
ficcomplIsl'Pi ! , as claimed by Its friends , what
other enterprises for the outlet of missionary
zeal Uivo failed in doing. The. dmumina-
tlonal missionary boards have been ham
pered and handicapped In tholr work by the
fact that it was difficult for them to secure
an adequate niin-.ber of men and women ,
properly educated und equipped , who would
50 as missionaries 'to foreign lands. The
student volunteer movement in Its function
as an enlisting and training agency for vol
unteers among college nnd university stu
dents has , it Is said , changed the coudl-
Lieu of affairs. Jlen and women are no
longer lacking , but the means wherewith to
BPnd them , fi.OOO students , largely of the
colleges and universities of North America ,
being noiv ready toso. . In the last few
years a great change is said to have taken
[ iloce among the students In their attitude
Lov.-ard religions matters , and it is stated
thtTt the colleges are becoming the centers
of religious Influence and missionary zeal.
This convention will bring together repre
sentatives from denominational colleges like
Amherst. Williams , Dolnlt , Ohio Wesleyan ;
state Institutions like Cornell- the Universi
ties of 'Michigan ' , Vermont , Ohio , Wisconsin ,
