Heenans attention baUur attracted to the horseahe gave chase to them, much to the relief of Antonio, who had plunged head first into a big bunch of sagebrush to conceal himself from, the though his hiding was merely that of the ostrich.

Presently the two men got together and; went in search of their horses. Half a mile up. the river they found i both animals drowned in a deep hole. with Old Heenan upon the hank look ing down at them. It was only after infinite trouble that the two Mexicans were able to recover their saddles and As they sneaked home to Buckland's that evening they were sadder and wiser men.

They "went for wool and came shorn even their shears were lost The pair told all manner of lies to account for the drowning of their horses, but as it happened the Frenchman who owned the camels had climbed a tree to watch the Mexicans, not knowing they 'were after, and had been an amused witness of the whole affair. When the true story reached the ranch there were a thou sand jokes among the men about the 1 fun to be had in "shearing the bull I camel in the rutting season. When the camels were first taken down to Arizona to be used in packing ore one of them was shot and killed by a German miner. The man who did the deed suffered about as much dis tress of mind as did the sailor who killed the albatross. The German was working1 for a mining company at a place about three nmea from where were located the men who were trying to use the "ships ox the desert." as "prairie schooners' in carrying ore down out of the mountains.

The man did not know there was such an animal on the American continent probably in all his life had never seen acameL One Sunday Hans came tearing into camp about ten times aa wild-eyed aa usual. "Poys," cried he, "I shoot a "A what?" asked one of the men. "A hel-ack helik, cried Hana. "Mine' Gott, the biggest belak in all Arizona." ii "He means he has shot a monster elk." said someone. Yas.

a helk, said Hans, "So wohr mir Gott helfe, ea ist de biggest in de mountains." "Big horns like this? queried an old miner, drawing his neck down into hia chest and spreading his arms abroad. No horn at all," said Hana "She was a frau helak; she woa de grana- mudder of all de helick." As Hans was able to show blood on bis knife, gun and hands, the men con eluded he had at last really killed beast of soma kind. Horses were caught up and two men sent with Hans to bring in the meat, of whioh ho said there was "more aa a vagon load. Hans Insisted upon all hands taking he said he had seen a huge herd of the elk jusfeacross a little valley from where he had downed his victim. As the party rode along with him to find bis game, Hans honestly owned that he had never before seen an elk.

He had heard so much about the elk, how- ever, tnat ne tnougnt ne Knew tne ani mal. Presently Hans put spurs to his mus tang and proudly dashed to the Spot where lay the dead camel. Dismount ing, he threw his oeiovea lager" across ms game, tnen as tne otnera came up laid a finger on his lips. He pointed in the direction of some low hills. He wanted no noise made.

He was in just the right humor to creep over the hills and slaughter the whole herd. In hia anxiety to make sure of his victim, Hans had nearly a wed the head off the poor camel with his knife. When his companions came up the were for some momenta at a loss aa to what kind of a huge creature Hans had slain. Presently one of them, Tom Alchorn. the well-known Comstock millwright (uow dead), cried out: 'By the holy poker, it's acameL He has killed one of the camels that belong over at the other camp.

Here is a nice mesa I've no doubt the animal is worth all of one thousand dollars. "Wort a tousand dollar?" cried Hana "Gott in Himmell If we could kill dera all it is more aa twenty tousand dollar in our pocket" It was long before Hans could be made to understand that the "boot was on the other that the owners of the camel would demand one thousand dollars for it "Ach. der teufell" cried Hans, with rueful face. "Potz wetter. Daa kameeL das kameeL Is it den one kameel I haf killed?" "Yes, a camel," said Alchorn, "and the men who7 own the camel will be afteryou." "Donner wetter!" grooned Hans.

BLA1ID The Olroland Administration Bshuked by Miss6urL SILYER DICK'S ADOPTED i A Stormy Time la th oratte Mat OwiTnUi Blixac tor Saprcma Joda sad Car- rlactaa 'for Baperltt of Schools, The contest in the democratic state convention in Kansas City, between the Cleveland and antUCleveland factions resulted in a rebuke to the democratic national administration.

Tbe anti-Cleveland faction won a victory on Wednesday in the adoption of the plat form offered by Congressman Bland, the silver champion. The Missouri democratic convention met in Kansas City, Tuesday. Gov. Stone was chosen chairman, and Congressman Bland was made chairman of the committee on resolutions. The committee on resolutions submitted two reports, the minority report declared lor restoration ox silver coinage laws as prior to 1878 and the majority indorsed the platform adopted at Chicago in 1892.

The fight on the resolutions was con tinued until after midnight. Tne majority report denounces tne McKinley tariff bill, favors the Wilson bill; favors an income tax, and demands the free bimetallic coinage of both gold and silver and the restoration of the bimetallic standard as It existed under the laws over eighty years prior to the demonetization oz tne standard silver, dollar in 1873, and should it become necessary in order to maintain the two metals in circulation, to readjust the ratio. It should be de termined whether gold has risen or sil ver has fallen, or whether there snould be a change of the gold dollar or of the silver dollar, or of both, to the end that whatever ratio is adopted the rights of both creditor aiid debtor shall be preserved alike, having in view the demands of the people for an adequate circulating medium; and declares "that we are not in favor of gold monometal-ism or silver' monometalism, but that both should be coined at such ratio as will maintain the two metals in m-'- The resolutions also demand the en actment of laws defining and limiting the jurisdiction of federal courts; indorse the action of President Cleveland and the democratic congress, in the repeal of the infamous federal election laws, and commend the president for approving the bill repealing the same. The following is the report or the minority members; Graham Frost, Da vid R. Francis and E.

C. Kebr, all of St. Louis, which is a substitute for the coinage plank: i We hereby reaffirm the declaration ot democratic principles place! before ths oountry by the last democratic national coavcntlon, assembled at Chicago on June 23, 1802, and ratified by the state democratic platform adopted at Jefferson City on July so. 1832. Gov.

Francis then took the floor and offered a substitute for the minority report. This is the Francis substitute: We again declare our devoUon to bimetallism, and demand that both gold and silver shall be standard money, with the same porcbastmr ana debt-paying power, and without any discrimination against either metal. Wo are unalterably opposed, to au legtsiauoa which has tbe effect of destroying silver money and establishing the single gold standard, thereby enormously lacreaslag the purchasing power ot gold, and decreasing the prices of au commodities, while the contracts between creditors and debtors are disregarded and the burdens on the latter made doubly oppressive. The discussion waB animated and the convention had taken no final action on the reports at Judge Black was nominated by ac clamation for judge of the supreme court, and a vote for school superin tendent, resulted; Carrington, 276K; Wolfe, 131 11U Duncan, 93, and at 2 o'clock in the morning the convention took a recess.

One of the labor agitators out in Kan sas sent out l.iHJl letters to farmers asking whether "farming paid." He got replies from 1,251 of the number. who said no, while 710 were too busy plowing and getting ready for a crop to answer. The Chicago Inter-Ocean think? that if he had asked 1,961 men in any business in these "cood old demo-times" "if it paid," they would have re plied "No." The Kansas farmer gets good fpod and clotbe3 to wear, and that is more than tht multitude have receiv ed the past year. Farmers who are, persuaded by fool "agitators" to leave their farms because they "do not pay" are unwise. The rquaw man is the last to go.

Not a day passes but that the mails arc filled with tracts and documents to renew the failing faith -of the popu- listic converts. Apart of Labor Commissioner Todd's report will be used to prove to tbe farmers that farming doesn't pay and tnat the fault lies in vicious leg islation. An extract has been culled from Secretary Coburn's last quarterly agricultural report, tne adaress of Hon. Daniel W.

These will be sent out in addition to the many pamph lets issued under direction of the state central committee. Topeka Journal Thu populist state committee have also contracted for 50,000 copies of S. S. King's latest book entitled, "Sowing and Reaping," a diabolical collection of state mcnts and figures of a populist character.

Who ever beard of a republican state central committee indulging in reading matter to any extent beyond what the rational committee furnished them? The republican league since populism, came to the surface has indulged in some pub lication, but scarcely a flea bite composed in quantity with what the populists do. The republican party has been in the I hands of a lot of jobbers, who think that scheming and tricks. and blowing money, the way to wiu. It has been- fai.ure. It has certainly been demonstrated that the way to win is to get the people; to reading.

Leg pulling by a few has been great failure in building up Prty. The effort on the part of some of our United States senators to prevent the ex- tension of the anti-gambling laws to church fairs, where articles are raffled off jr charitable purposes, was a most an'tonishing exhibition of inconsistency. The discussion occurred during tbe con sideration of the bill for. the supression of the lottery traffic through national and interstate commerce and the postal service. Senators Vest and Gorman objected to placing church and charity fairs on the same fooling with the lutAiana and Havana lollenea.

hPRfl senators are wrong in supposing that gambling i is any less immoral and injurious by being carried on within a church edifice and for "-al leged pious purposes or charitable causes. They are right" in contending that a church lottery is not on the same footing with the Louisiana or Havana lottery.

We want no pious lotteries. no caucused faroj no at TJtesoendanta of a Herd That Were 'imported from Africa The camels now running wild Ja Ari zona are tne descendants of a small herd originally importedfor in the ciaeo Chronlole. In tho early days of --k saining on the Gomstoeki long before there were any railroads in the Great Baain region, it was tnonght that camels might bo profitably used about the) oataev peUeularly in paclungr aerosa the aurronndug daerta, and twelve "ahipa of the desert" wera accordingly purchased and brought to Virginia City; They were wanted for use in packing talt from the Hot Springs salt marsh to the Comstock reduction works. This salt deposit Ilea far out in a desert region, and to reach it many waterless stretches of sand and alkali had to be iraveraed. The camels were able to cross all the deserts in perfect comfort, carrying heavy loads ot salt and finding means of subsistence in the prickly and bitter plants and shrubs everywhere to be found In abundance, In short, animals did as good work here in our deserts as tbey are able to do in any oountry in the world, but they were too slow.

The camel may be fast enough for an Arab, but he is too alow for an American. When tbe occupation of the camels as packers of salt vfcfr gone they were sold to some Mexicans, who used them for a time in packing wood down out of the mountains The Mexicans took them up rocky trails, into the rugged hills and used them the same as they use a mule They soon killed three of the wretched beasts and would have killed the remainder had not a Frenchman, who owned a big ranch on the Carson river, below Dayton, taken pity on the poor, abused creatures and bought the whole of them. This Frenchman had been in Algeria with, the French colony, where be had developed an affection for tbe camel probably owed the animal debt of gratitude for having saved his life on some occasion, lie had no use for the beasts, therefore turned them out to roam the desert plains at wilL The animals, left to shift for them selves, soon waxed fat, and increased and multiplied. In a few years from nine the herd had increased to thirty- six, old and young. The Frenchman then sold the whole lot to be taken down to Arizona to be used in packing ore down off a bier mountain range.

It was said there was a cood smooth trail. but the animals found all the rocks and soon became footsore and useless, when ail were turned adrift to shift for them selves. They have regained the in stincts of the original wild state of their species and are very wary and swift They fly into waterless wastes impenetrable to man when approached. Some of the old animals, however, oc casionally appear the vicinity of the settlements. Of late it is reported that the cattlemen have been shooting them for some reason, perhaps because they frighten and stampede their horses.

No one knows how. many camels are now running at large in the wilds of the Gila country, but there must be a great number. One is occasionally caught. Four years ago one was cap tured near to Gila Bend that measured over nine feet in height." It appeared to be a stray from one of the herds in that region. With the hard of camels when it was owned by the Frenchman on the Carson river was a huge old bull camel known as "Old Heenan," because of his fighting proclivities.

He was a giant, and the patriarch of the herd. He had hair on parts of his body that was a foot ot eighteen inches in lengh. The animals ranged down the valley of the Carson nearly to old Fort ChurchilL At Sam Buckland'a ranch, a mile above the i tort, several vaqneros were employed. Theso men had seen the big camel, and looked with envious eyes upon the long, silken hair that hung from the huge frame. They thought this hair might be spun into beautiful riatas, bridle 'reins and ornaments for bridles.

I One fine Sunday morning In spring two of the Mexicans Antonio and Ge- donio equipped themselves with a lasso and a pair of sheep shears and set out to catch and shear Old Heenan. Ge- donio found the big animal easy of approach. The old-fellow stood stock stilL He was dreamily chewing his cud with half-closed eyes. The lasso swished through the air, and in a ment was about the big animal's neck. Then, as the patriarch leit, the rope tighten about his throat, the fun be gun.

Alongsidothe giant beast the Mexi can looked a mere pigmy. When Old Heenan realized that the small two- legged creature was actually trying to gather, him in his little eyes turned green with rage. Hissing like a Ted- hot locomotive; ho oharged Gedonia The little Mexican held to the rope for a time, hoping to choke the down, but found the animal apparent ly able to subsist as long without "wind" as without water. Besides, Heenan made for him so rapidly that be could get no pull on the old fellow. At last Gedonio was so hard pressed that he was obliged to drop the lasso and take to his heels.

By this time Old Heenan was wild with rage. The Mexican tried to dodge the irate beast among the bunches of graaswood. but these being only two or three feet high, afforded poor cover. He then struck for tbe river, intending to climb one of the cotton woods on its banks, but Heenan was too olose upon his heels. There wan no time, for climbing, and he was obliged to plunge into the river.

Not being able to swim. Gedonio was constrained to halt when the water came iip to his chin. Heenan charged down to the waters edge and there stood on guard.

George Watson, of the firm of He- Grew, Watson Watson, who have charge of the-county's interests in the famous road certificate case which came up before Judge Williams of the United States circuit court. Judge Williams handed down his decision this morning. It was in favor of the and involves about 1500.000 which the county would have had to raise by taxatiion if tne decision bad been otherwise. When the supreme court declared the Buchan road law unconstitutional on the injunctions brought by property owners to restrain the collection of special taxes tor improvements under tnat law. the parties who had bought the certificates issued to pay for those improvements brought suit In the United States court to make the county liable.

The attorneys for the county set up all the irregularities that had been decided by the other courts as invalidating the certificates. Messrs Buchan, Freeman and Porter filed a demurer to this as not constituting a defense. The decision today overrules this demurer. The case may go to the- United States supreme court, but the decision is first blood and a notable victory for the county.

That he held at bay this ponderous engine of human invention which obtained its power from the very lightning as it were, seemed to afford his muleship supreme satisfaction. The mule was naked, in that he was devoid of even so much as a halter. In some spots there was not any hair even, but these were marks of toil. Perhaps it was his first opportunity since he was broken to know bow it felt to be out on the street without the restraint of strap or buckle. I here was no doubt this mule felt mean and vicious.

He would like to sachet backwards up to some plutocratic car riage horse and let him have both heels right under the belly band, just to take some of the pride, out of him. Finally along came the electric car and the mule thought here was his chance to vent his spleen against a "blarsted He toox a position directly in the mid die of the track with his tail toward the approaching ear.
