' In concluding this article it will not be out of order to again suggest to all who contemplate making the west their home that a good rifle is better than to-bacco iu the country. And it should be reinoniliered that the Indians are slowly but surely fading out and that inside the next twenty years they will be either totally wiped' out or driven into Sanpete county.

Owing to the fact that Mrs. Magiuniss was bald-heade- she was not mutilated by the copper-colore- d fiends; but her little supply of pro- vender was confiscated ami eair'.ed away.

A subscription will be started for the beneht of the children who tire thus left destitute, the eldest being oulv 2a years of age. Mrs. Maginnis was buried Thursday under the auspices of a regiment of infantry and the washer-women's union, of which latter body she was president. Peace to her ashes. Scarcely had the funeral diergo over the remains of the late Mrs. McU., died away when a man covered wilh blood pouring from a'score-o- f wounds came teariug down Temple street, with his hat in his hand, shouting as he ran that a band of Shoshones were pillaging the northern portion of the city and mur-dering the inhabitants at wholesale. The alarm bell was at once rung and a body of resolute men, armed to the teetli, repaired with all possiblo speed lo the place indicated, when the report was touml to he correct in every par-ticular. Jem McCartney, a street car driver, and Jake Smith'a brickinaker, were the only two men found alive, but they were lighting desperately when their rescuers reached the battle ground, the former wielding a beer bot-tle with terrible effect while the latter was tearing great gaps in tho ranks of his assailants with a iiglit pick handle. At the sight of re-inforcements the Indians lied, and the men who had so courageously left their homos for tho sake of their neighbors devoted themselves to caring for the wounded and burying the dead. Hon. John Albert Peterson, late member of the council, was found lying face down-ward, his head'clove in twain, while near him was his faithful bull tenner. Bowse, who at one time held the twoiityeighl pound championship of the territory, his sharp fangs fastened in the neck of ouo of the niud-paitite- vermints. Both Bowse and the Indian were dead, the former evidently having got his hold just after the latter lost his. Tonv Curswell, the janitor of the Eleventh ward school, was dug out of a pile of dead Indians in a badly mutil-ated condition, his right arm having been completely severed. It is thought he cantiot surv ive. . In addition to the killed. Jell' Bonnian, a livery stable keeper, and Kev. J. M. Masonson, a Mormon elder, and seven of his wives, were badly wounded. Little Kittle Dugan, the d girl of our es-teemed local railroad official, Patrick Dugan, the section foreman, is rcspon-- . sible for the death of of one of the imps incarnate. The savage had just completed the task of toma-hawking Mrs. Dugan. and was refreshing himself with a drink from the well bucket when the little one espied him, and, slipping up be-hind, picked his feet from the ground and liiid him headlong down the well. Not being used to water, lie was soon drowned. .

Here In a NeirWyof Learning How to Madge Them In Company. "Few people are thoroughly at ease about the disposition of their hands iu company," 8aid a teacher of the art of gesture. "And yet there is a very simple thing that may ba done to get rid of that disagreeable consciousness of the members which give rise to the difficulty. You see, the hands are far more highly edneated in this age of mechanical civil-ization than they have ever been before. It may almost bo said that the brain has found its way to the ends of the fingers that these extrometies have come to pos-sess an inherent intelligence. For this reason tho attention is so fixed by habit upon the hands that thoy foci awkward, just as any other part of the body will do if you think particularly about it "You have only to fix your attention on your little toe in order to have it be-come within a minute positively pain-ful. It has often occurred to me that those monks of the Middle Ages who de-voted their minds devoutly to the stead-fast contemplation of their Btoinachs, for the purpose of bringing on a trance condition, must have felt a grievous need of tTamaic ginger. "So, in order to be graceful in the dis-posal of your bands, it is only necessary to get rid of consciousness about them, and you may accomplish this to a sur-prising extent by a very simple gymnas-tic process. Let them hang limply and wring them as violently as possible for five minutes, say. This will render them unconscious to a great extent, so that yon will not be disturbed for some time after by the excess of feeling in them. Consequently, while the effect lasts, yon will find yourself at ease about your hands and will have no trouble about their management. 'You will bo astonished, if you try it, to find how admirably it works. I have recommended it to hundreds of peoplo, and they have uniformly found it suc-cessful.

Washington Post. A Hello ,f Territorial Dyi. i When Noah McNaught was at Hamil-ton he was shown a wagon wheel which was found buried high up on the moun-tain side and covered with two feet of earth.

Tho root of a tree as large us a man's body had grown through and broken out three spoken There was no mark in tho dense forest indicating that a wagon road had ever existed in that neighborhood. In accounting for how this wheel could ever have gotten there, an Indian tradition recites that a govern-- I ment party took its wagons to pieces and packed them on the backs of mules, that one mule bearing this wheel on its back was precipitated from the mountain side and killed by the fall, leaving the wheel to be covered by the earth as the surface of the mountain became invaded.
