The weirdest storm story in years comes down from the Downieville and Snow Telit country, where it is alleged that chickens were killed by hailstones and a horse was knocked senseless. The storm is said to have been the fiercest in years. Four chickens are said to have been killed by the hail and many knocked down. Lightning struck a tree on the Goodyear bar grade, and it was still burning today. At George Coopers ranch, near Snow Tent, the hailstones were reported as large as small eggs, and one of these knocked the honje senseless.

Miss Butterfield, who also lives near Butte, was loved by both the Their wooing was young ranchers. he was rescued by trainmen here from his perilous position on the top of a big pile of trunks, which he had gained to escape from the frenzy of the boar, he was very weak and could hardly tell what an exciting time he had had. The boar had been received in a small Illinois town, and was consigned to some place in Ohio. At first the animal did not appear in an ugly mood, but Richardson was suspicious and put the crate containing it in one corner of the car. It soon began to show symptoms of ugliness, and bit at the sides of the crate with great en ergy. Richardson then placed a large pile of trunks around it, thinking that if it did break out the trunks would serve as an additional barrier. But soon the trunks fell away, and the boar made his appearance with streaks of froth covering his entire body. The animal began to cavort among the trunks and to set Richardson running from it. The express messenger soon perched himself high upon the trunks which he had piled together, and he staid there until the train reached this city, as his cries for help were drowned by the roaring of the car. His appeals were heard by the station men here, and they would have let the boar escape from the car when they opened the door had not Richardson called to them. It was soon caught and tied, but Richardson refused to accompany it any farther, and it awaited a later train. The boar is of fine Poland China stock, and weighs 480 pounds. In its career around the car it tore open several trunks and the garments, mostly womens, were strewn over the ardent and continuous. The winsome young woman could not decide which of the westerners she admired best And finally, when she left home for a tour of the east, she had half way promised to become the bride of both. On her return some she stepped off at Sioux City for a visit. Then she felt that she wanted to see her Impetuous lovers. And she sent each a telegram saying she would marry the one that came to her at once. Out In Butte two young men hoarded the same train together. They climbed Into the same coach, took the same seat. But as such things x discussed the matter go neither closest his heart. And they both rode on into the night, blissfully ignorant of the others intentions. At Vermillion, S. D., they had to wait for connections, and here both young men were handed telegrams. Come at once. Called They read: home. Father 111. Both seemed imbued with the same idea. There would be no train for five hours. The trusty saddle was the only thing. Horses were speedily secured and the race for a girl began, each still ignorant of the others intentions. Two roads lead out of Vermillion for the Missouri river. Both are straight and hard, but they diverge until they floor. CASTAWAY LIVED AS APE. 'EUROPEAN Ctl 44 E. Second South SL Annex Wilson Hotel.

According to a, Danish medical journal the Roentgen rays were recently used upon a bey 5 years cJ3, who was treated in 'hospital for a disease of the hair. After 25 applica-'tion- s of the rays the lad was sent home cured. But whereas his nature had previously been bright and intelligent, now he became absent-mindesand unreliable, and was sent back to the hospital. He has been for some - time since under medical observation, and the pronouncement of the doctors attending the case is that the Roentgen rays can easily penetrate the thin scalp of a child and have an undesirable influence on the brain. at o ribute-t- aser'uT interest Sunnyslde proved surface showing and the' pioneers dream of millions vanished.

The hanging of a weman, which in these days calls forth public protests, was apparently a matter of indifference to our grandfathers and grandmothers, says the London Chronicle. It was in the nineteenth century that a woman found guilty of some trifling offense was sentenced to death. By chance the warrant for her execution was not sent to the high sheriff, and she remained in prison for about three years, acting as a jail washerwoman, and occasionally, as a favor in acknowledgement of her good behavior, going out, as was then the custom, as washerwoman to private houses. But a clerk looking through the home office records found, the warrant that had never been dispatched, and it was thereupon promptly forwarded to the sheriff for due process. The woman was found by the turnkey at the wash-tu- b in a house in the town Aylesbury. Well, missus, said he, you are to be hanged. The warrant has come at last, and we must carry the sentence out morning at the latest the wretched Werry well, then, woman submissively replied, I suppose I must go, and having washed the soapsuds off her arms departed with the official.

Through the efforts of Baron Grynsdqal, the Norwegian philanthropist, a man who had lived like an ape for 12 years in the forests of Belgium and France has been returned to his home in Norway. He was the only survivor of the Norwegian bark Mygrean, which was wrecked in 1895. He had lost his reason from the shock. When found the man was in the forest of Soignies, where he had lived for some time, and had inspired the population in the neighborhood with fear. Finally it was decided to form a party to capture him. He was seen to be moving along very quickly, jumping from branch to branch. The men tried to seize him, but he got away from them and successfully hid himself In the thicket. Another attempt this one successful was made by a crowd of villagers who surrounded him. His body was covered with short hair. He had flowing, disorderly locks and a long matted beard, resembling an ourang outang. When seized he shrieked, but did not reply to the questions put to him. The bread offered him he ate ravenously. The man was identified by the medal attached to a string around bis neck, bearing the word Mygrean. When he boarded the vessel for Norway the captain addressed him in Norwegian. The man was seized with violent emotion and fainted. Wrhen he recovered he was able to answer the captains questions sensibly, and told how he had lived In jhe forests for a dozen years. A Funny Man.
