TOMMY BRYNE AMD THE IN
DIANS.
Capt. Thomas Bryno, or “Old
Tommy,” as he was affectionately
called by all his associates, had
at ono time charge of the Tlual-
dais, a tribe of Indians settled in
northwestern Arizona. Old
Tommy, perhaps from his “dolud-
horiu’ tongue,” had an almost
miraeulous ascondanoy over the
chiefs and the head men of this
tribe, and though his native elo
quence was seconded only by the
scantiest allowances of rations
from the subsistence stores of the
camp, ho wits loved and trusted
by these childlike allies. To hear
him coaxing hack a sulky worrier
to good humor was something to
ho long remembered.
“Como, now,” he has been
hoard to say, “share, phut is do
malther wid ye? Have yes iver
axed me for anythin' that Oi
didn’t promise it to ycz?”
Yet Tommy’s promises were
always kept.
Suddenly one day the Ilualpuis,
like a Hash of lighining out of a
clear sky, went on the warpath
and lived on the agency buildings
before leaving for their old stoiig-
hold in the Canon of the Colora
do. No one knew the cause of
their sudden treachery,- and
Tommy Byrne was one of those
who realized how much it would
cost Undo Sam in blood and
treasure if the outbreak were not
stopped at once.
Without waiting for his spirit
ed little horse to ho saddled ho
threw himself across its hack and
swept, out into the lulls after the.
fugitives. When the Ilualpuis
saw the cloud of dust coming they
blazed into it, hut Tommy was

ie ninth district of Carroll
ty, was called from the house
’orne nights ago by a posse of
men in disguise.
The ninth district of Carroll
county lies in the extrem nolh-
western part of Carroll and bor
ders on the Alabama line.
A HOUGH REGION.
Just over the line, in Alabama
is Cleburne county, and the part
of the county adjourning the state
line is quite rough, and the ceni-
zens of the mountains near the
state line aic rougher than the
country. Moonshine whisky by
the thousands of gallons is made
among these mountains and ped
dled out to “boys of the little
brown jug” of the adjacent towns
of Bowden, Kdwaidsville, Talla-
! poosa, Buchanan, Waco and Car-

a quiet, inoffensive, hard-working
fanner, living in the ninth dis
trict of Carroll, and his cosy tilth
home is in close proximity to the
mountains., where the mueh-
sought-for dew is manufactured.
Mr.. Lou 'Alien is a law-abiding
citizen, and the moonshiners have
his door and the voice of some
one which lie recognized as tho
voice of a near ncigl.iltor *of the
adjoiningstate of Alabama. The

and his wife and (Mildrcn, and

up, his horse white with foam, to
the knot of chiefs who stood
awaiting him.
At. first the Indians were still
hut they soon melted enough' to
tell the story of their grievances.
Tho new agent had been robbing
them in tho most Imrefacad mun-
w< ^ner. and in their ignorance they
)e-|ijungiwed it. to he. Capt. Byrne’s
duty to regulate all the affairs in
his camp. They did, not want to
hurt him and would let him go
safely hack, hut for theni there
was nothing hut warpath. 4,
“Como buck itfith me,” said
Tommy, gently. “I will see that
you are righted.”
Back they went, following that
one unarmed man. Straight to
the beef scales proceeded the offi
cer. and in a, few minutes he had
detected the manner in which false
weight laid beenuecurcd by tam
pering with tho poise. A Texas
steer which would not weigh,
more than 800 pounds stood at
1,700, and of course other articles
followed in the same ratio.
Tommy seized upon the agency
and took charge; the Ilualpuis
wore perfectly satisfied, and the
agent left that night for Califor
nia. Thus was a bitter war
averted by the promt action of a
plain unlettered man who had no
ideas about managing savages be
yond that of treating them with
kindness and justice.
AN AERIAL LAKE.
There is in Missouri, a lake
perched on top of a mountain, its
surface from fifty to one hundred
feet below the level of tlie earth
surrounding it, fed by no surface
streams untouched by wind, dead
as the sea of Sodom. There is no
point of equal altidude from
which water could llow within
'hundreds of miles, and yet it has
a periodical rise of thirty feet or
over, which is in no way affected
by the atmospheric conditions in
the country adjacent. It, may
rain for weeks in Webster county
and tho return of fair weather
will find Devils lake at its,lowest
point, while it may reach its
highest point during a protracted
drought.

FISHING BY ELECTRICITY.
Attention has been called to
a serious abuse of tho electric
light. The sense of sight is ex
tremely well developed in fishes,
and years ago the Indi ans recog
nized this and attracted fish at
night, to tho point of their spears
by flic glare of torches. AY hen
used along with'tho electric light
most kinds of nets become sim
ply murleous in their effects, for
the brilliancy of tho light, is an
irresistible attraction to the fish.
Salmon fishers and others who
take and pack fish on a large scale
arc resorting to the use of the
electric liglij. for this purpose,
and tho wholesale destruction of
fish is likely to lead to the exter
mination of certain species. The
great injury arising from this
cause consists in the fact that
such quantities of fish are caught
that a large propotion of them
arc wasted, instead of being turn
ed to their legitimate use of foed-
the population of tho coun
try, says Electricity. Tho in
discriminate destruction, of fish in
this way is almost criminal, and
if prompt measures be not taken
for placing it under some sort of
restriction our fish supplies will
in a few years be, if not exhaus
ted, very seriously crippled.
AFTER A BARGAIN.
Tho following incident, related
by the Minneapolis Times, would
fend to show the susceptibility of
tho feminine mind in catching on
to tho “genuine bargains” of
speeiij sale days.
The other day a pretty, well-
dressed little woman, wearing a
soft brown marten cape, rushed
into one of the leading fur stores
on Nieollea avenue and hurriedly
inquired for tho proprietor. Hav
ing found him, she gracefully re
moved the cape from her ; iimil-
dors and blandly asked him what
he would give for it.
“Why,” said the old gentle
man, somewhat taken aback by
his unusual onslaught, “such
dealings as this are not quite in
lino with our way of doing busi
ness.”
“I paid sixty-five dollars for it
only last month,” she continued
in a flutter. “Will you givo mo
thirty-seven dollars and fifty
cents for it?” In a way that left
the old gentleman rather ill at
ease. AVith best, grace possible,
he saw there was no other way
oiitof it, ho called his cashier and
instructed him to pay the money
tnd ottered to send for the gar
ment.
“No,” she said, her eyes bright
ening as she received the tliirtj-
seven dollars and fifty cents. “I
want you to bring me in a hurry
that brown marten cape in your
window marked down to twenty-
seven dollars and fifty cents. I
have passed and passed that win
dow and the fact of so wonderful
a bargain has lmuited me until I
felt that I must have it at any
cost. This leaves me ten dollars,
which I intend to spend at tho
special sale of trimmed hats this
afternoon.”
This remarkable specimen of
womanly frankness left the store
in ecstasy, also leaving the hearts
of the clerks in a 11 utter.

AN ECCENTRIC JUDGMENT.
Captain King, at one time gov
ernor in an Australian colony,
was noted for his cceentricitcs. 1
day ho was awaited on by two
prisoners suing for pardon. The
petition of the one was signed by
all the leading meu of Sydney,
that of the other boro but one
name.
“How comes it,” asked tho
governor, “that you have only
one name on your petition, while
this man has so many?”
“I have lived with ono mastro
all my time, sir,” said tho mini,
‘T didn’t know anybody else.”
Tho governor immediately gave
him pardon, hut dismissed the
other applicant with tho follow-
g remark.
“A’ou know so many rich peo
ple that you don’t need anything
more.
BLEACHING HORSES.
At Batesville, Ark., a recent
shooting affray brought into no
tice a woman known us “Sorrel
Sue.” She lias always appeared
in public, riding a sorrel horse.
It was believed she belonged to a
gang who stole horses, says the
Spokane Spokesman.
A surgeon who was summoned
to attend ono of her admirers,
who had been wouiidcd in the
row, mistook his way and wand
ered into Sue’s cabin. Before ho
could he hustled out he saw
things which roused suspicions.
These he reported to Sheriff
Timeoc, who, with a posse, man
aged to surround the don of horse
Ihieves, capturing Sue and two
of her gang. He found that sue
had applied the means of bleach
ing her own lutir to that of her
horses when the posse entered
they found a horse enveloped in a
jacket made of rubber coats, bo-
treated to a sulphur vapor
hath. The appliances were very
ingenious, and worked very
well.
A black or ,bay horse would bo
stolen and run into the bleachery.
After its color was changed
and its mane and tail trimmed,
the disguise became so pro
nounced that without any great
risk the animal could be taken in
daylight through the very district a
from which it was stolen. It was 4j
Sue’s busbies not only to super
intend tho bleaching but to ride
the animal out of the country.

A SEA IRODUCT.
Tho sea yields many precious
things—coral, amber and pearls—
but it is not generally known that
in certain parts of the Meditera-
nouu a species of mussel is found
ot which tho shells contain ono of
the most bciiutifultextilo materials
known. These shells are about
seven inches long and three inch
es broad, and each of them con
tains a piece of fiber weighing
half a drachm, from which spun
and woven goods are made.
