KEELER. recent death of Jack Keeler in Harqua Hala mountains, in Wyoming. It was in the days of the opening of the Tombstone mines that Jack began his career as a desperado. He assisted two highwaymen to escape from the jail at Yuma, and within the next 10 days a series of stage robberies were were somereported. The "hold-ups- " times a week apart, but in each of them there were always two or three masked men who did the business. There was strong suspicion that Keeler and his associates were the robbers. They got together in a year something like $15,000 from men on the way to the mines, and committed several murders in connection with the robberies. Three years later Jack Keeler and an associate were shot while holding up the Wells-Farg- o stage one night near While the associate was M&ricopa. dySng, Jack and two others mana5d to get away to the mountains and secrete themselves from their pursuers. Jack lay in a hovel in a mountain canon between life and death for weeks and when the United States marshal and his! deputies came that way he gladly surrendered. When he had so far recovered from his wounds in his neck and shoulder as to stand trial, he was sent to prison for 30 years. He told where several thousand dollars of the stolen money had been hidden, and made as full retribution as possible. Jack Keeler served about 17 years in prison, and was the model prisoner. When he was pardoned he went immediately out to the mountains, resolved to live a secluded life. He was found stiff and cold in bed by a party of hunters, and had evidently been dead for v several days. , lt home. A GIRL.

Physicians at Bellevue hospital, New York, were the other day treated to an exhibition of female courage such as they do not often witness. Mary Ann Fa'rrell, employed in a laundry, got her left arm caught in some machinery.

This was done and she was taken to the hospital named, being still conscious, though weak from loss of blood. On being told that amwas necessary she said: putation " Do it as quick as 'you can, and tau me gHe something to put me to sleep. The pain is awful." The doctors wanted to give her an anaesthetic, but she refused, saying she was not afraid of the operation. After a great deal of coaxing and persuasion on the part of the physicians the woman allowed them to give her a small quantity of the anaesthetic, but not enough to make her unconscious."

When the saw was used on the bone the" patient gave a slight scream, but other than that she made no sign of pain.
