The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

^oh ���v., A SCHEME TO INVADE ENGLAND PLANNED BY qA FRENCHMAN And Cabled to This Country as News of as Great Importance as the Weather and the Doings of Royalty. LEAD FROM CANADIAN MINES SHOULD BE RE-ADMITTED London, March 25.���The weather in Great Britain during tho past week underwent a complete change. The last week tlie weather was warm and summer-like; now it has been bitterly cold, with snow everywhere. London participated in the wintry weather, but here it was tempered by bright sunshine. The highlands throughout the country are deeply snow- clad, with the worst snowstorms experienced in many years. Scotland, naturally, suffered most severely, especially tbe country around Balmoral, where the shooting-boxes and farm-houses have been so snowed up that they resemble to some extent tbe homes of.Esquimaux.' The duke of York has been snowed up at Ab- ergeldirnains, near Baiiater. He went there owing to the fleeting spell of spring weather, duriug the month, for the salmon fishing; but the weather changed quickly to Arctic cold, and a heavy snowstorm cut him off from communication with the outer world. It will be days before he is liberated. Queen Victoria has giveu two additional instances of her womanly feeling this week, which have a very pleasing impression in southern France. While outdriving at the beginning of the week she overtook a peasant's walking funeral and had no room to pass. The mourners stopped and stood aside, but the queen requested the cortege to proceed, and her own carriage followed respectfully at a walking pace for half a mile, until the roads diverged. Again, while driving through Nice on Wednesday the queen passed a child, which was crying bitterly. She ordered her carriage stopped, and sent a member of her suite to. inquire0 the cause of the child's distress and give it a few coius, which had a magical effect. The little one's face brightened up, and the queen, smiling, remarked : "As long as nothing serious is the matter, 1 thought a few sovereigns would make the little one happy." Princess Maude of Wales is reported notoriously unhappy in her Danish home, and that it required all the persuasion of her parents to reconcile her to return to the gloomy environment of the Danish court. Her love for her alien home, it is added, is not increased by the fact that the prospect of auychild of hers reaching the throne has been destroyed by the .birth of an heir to prince Christian,'the '���, eldest son of crown priuce Frederick. The queen of Sweden and Norway has become1 a-'eollectoij; for the "Salvation" Army, a money-box having been placed on the dining table in tbe royal palace. The crown princess of Sweden and Norway is now wintering at Rome. She is iii extremely bad health, the constitutional malady from which she suffers has begun to affect ber eyes, and she.has been ordered to give up reading, drawing and photography. * The only recreation she - has left is music. A correspondent in Paris writes thatthe young Parisian dandies are distressed at*the loss of the prince' of Wales as a king of fashion. It is said the prince ne-" gleets his personal appearance woefully"; his overcoat is shabby, his hat shapeless, and his tie -so much pn one side that his shirt studs are visible. The golden youth, it'appears, are now seeking another idol. Considerable interest is taken in the announcement of the coming marriage of lady Edith Douglas,. daughter of ��� the marquis of Qiieensberry, to St. George Pitt, who .is the nead of the psychical research society and a great authority on "spooks:" Sidney Webb, chairman of the lechni- _caLeducatiou_boaid,_handled American. institutions in ajseve&maiiuer while lec- vturiug recently befdre the school of SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH *r>, 189!).

The Petit Journal praises the plan, declaring its chief merit is its simplicity and unity, and points to the success of the Roman, Saxon, Danish, and Norman invasions as proving the feasibility of the project. Cambridge Won the Boat Race. Putney, March 25.���The fifty-sixth annual boat race between crews representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge was rowed today over the usual course0 from Putney to Mortlake. The distance is about four and one-quarter miles, and the" race was won by Cambridge, for the first time in ten years. The official time was twenty-one minutes four seconds. Cambridge now has twenty-four out of the fifty-six races rowed to her credit. Tbe light blues were the favorites ih the betting, the odds being eleven to four on Cambridge, though this was generally regarded as extravagant. The Cambridge crew won the toss and took the Surrey side of the river, which, with the fresh wind blowing, gave the light blues a decided advantage. Cambridge at once assumed a slight lead, which was increased to one and one-fourth lengths at Craven- steps, five furlongs from the> start. Just beyond this point, however, Oxford began drawing up, and ac the Crabtree wharf, one mile and 320 yards from the starting point, the dark blues were level with Cambridge. At Hammersmith Bridge, one mile five furlongs and one hundred yards from thestartingliue, Cambridge had again assumed the lead by half a length, which Was increased to two and a half lengths at Thorny Creek, some three miles from the start. From this point Cambrige continued her position, rowing a fine steady stroke, while Oxford splashed badly and was evidently distressed. When the light blues reached Barnes Bridge, three miles four furlongs and thirty yards from the start, they were four lengths ahead and the race was practically.over, for the dark blues of Oxford were going to pieces and rowing anyhow. The Cambridge crew finished stroug, four lengtlis ahead of Oxford. Two of the Oxford crew fainted as the boat crossed the line.

In conclusion, Sidney Webb remarked; "The ^peric^h, individually, is the kindest, most considerate, aiid most polite individual living; but, collectively, they are not a success." In spite of the sighing of the French agreement regarding Africa* one of the leading topics of the week on both sides of the channel has been an article published ih the Revue des deux Mondes, seriously outlining a fresh scheme of invasion of Great Britain. It proposes that 1500 steam pinnaces be built and collected in canals and rivers leading to the French coast; that each be armed with two quick-firing guns, and that they convey an army of 170,000 men and 500 cannon, with necessary ammunition, stores, etc. The cost of construction-is estimated at 150,000,0000 francs. The. pinnaces to be provided with torpedoes to keep off hostile ships, while, the quick-firing guns are to repulse torpedo boat attacks* /The writer of the article says that there would be no difficulty in getting the boats across, pointing out that Napoleon had a more difficult task at Wagram, where he crossed the Danube in the face of the Austrian army. The English coast defences are classed as being a negligible quantity, and the operation is looked upon by the writer as being merely a matter of a few hours. Three divisions of 14,000 men each are to be landed in Ireland, and the Irish are to be armed. The English A Supposed Clue.

This will be the first shipment of any size from the properties in the Cariboo Creek section. Small Ore Shipment Goes to Idaho. This week the Relief Gold Mining Company, operating the Second Relief mine near Erie* exported 15 tons of ore to Wallace, Idaho. The shipment was valued at $184.' ���* ��� -"���'���, Manilla, March 25.���The movoment of the American troops today swept the insurgents-back towards Malabon. General Otis's brigade is in front of Lalom, where there is a stretch of a mile of rough, open country. The insurgent trenches in the edge of the woods are four feet deep and furnish a good head cover. The American troops advanced on the double-quick, yelling fiercely and occasionally dropping in the grass and firing a volley. Thejna- tives stood until the Americans were within two hundred yards of their position, and then broke and ran for *\ the woods. About thirty of them- were killed in the outskirts and seventy on the roads. The Montana and Kansas troops met with the hottest resistance in a strip, from from which the rebels have greatly worried the Americans recently during the night time. Ninety minutes -after the start, the whole front for a distance of three miles to the north had-been cleared. General Hayes's brigade had simultaneously swept in-V a northwesterly direction, routing j the enemy and burning the town of San Francisco Del Monte and a number of scattered huts. The line was then opposite! Nova Lichee, the wagous carrying pontoons, telegraph supplies and *am muni Lion :(iol- lowing. The infantry moved in splendid order. Smoke from the burning huts marked the line of the American advance. Ambulances and horse litters, Jed'*, by Chinese, brought in the wounded, among whom were a few Filipinos. The Americans who were wounded endured their injuries bravely, one group which had been brought into the hospital singing "Com-, rades." The Pennsylvania troops" took uine prisoners, among them a naked captain of the Macabebee tribe and one Japanese. All the prisoners were greatly terrified, expecting to be executed* immediately. . . -. 1 General McArthur's division, consisting of the brigades of- Otis, Hale and Hall, supplemented by.Wheaton's brigades advanced at daylight and cut;the enemy's forces in_two. -They.captured "the itowns; of Polo and Nova Liehes oh "the left and * San Francisco del Monte and Marquina on" the right, clearing fche rebel trenches in front of the,line north from the river to Calo'ocan. " They also secured possession of the railroad, practically cornering the flower of Aguinaldo's army at Malabon and in the foothills at Singalon, twenty miles apart. The American casualties were light. Manilla, < March 25���3.-15 p.m.���Elaborate preparations were made for the move-, merits. Wheaton's brigade was placed in the rear ��� and Otis's- and, Hale's were massed behind. Hale's, under cover of darkness, left the trenches and advanced close upon the enemy's liuewithout being, detected, Wheaton's and Hall's'brigades, occupying the .vacated positions. At four o'clock the American troops breakfasted, and the Filipinos noticing the camp-fires, their buglers sounded the call to arms. At daylight Otis's and Hall's brigades advanced from Laloma church straiglit through the rebel lines, cutting the enemy's forces in two. Upou this occasion the rebels adopted the American tactics, holding their fire until the -attackers-were-about���1000-yards-distautr The rebels also fired lower than usual'' but the Americans fired volleys with fceiv rible effect, then rushed for ward* cheering, carrying everything before them.; Once through, McArthur's division swung to the lefr, driving the rebel-* away on all sides. Wheaton's brigade, in accordance with instructions, remained in the trenches, 9 Before joining the movement at noon, Wheaton's troops developed strong opposition between Malabon and fche riyer Tuliauan. The brigades commanded by. Otis and Hale advanced oh Nova Liehes and Polo* strongly entrenched towns. Jn the meantime, iSall'-. brigade swept the country clear to the water-Works and foot-hills at Singalon, capturing San Fn.nce.sca MOnte alid Mariquiha. The American loss is now conservatively estimated at 10' killed and 130 wounded, Manila, March 25���3:45 p.m.-���The American losses, reported up to noon today* were eight killed and seventy wounded. The loss to the enemy is heavier than during any previous engagement. Over Questions That Concern the Commercial Interests of Spokane's Only Rival for the Trade of Kootenay. The members of the special committee of the South Kootenay Board of Trade who were commissioned ,to interview Robert Kerr, traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific's lines west of Lake Superior, upon the subject of freight rates into and out of Nelson had an interview with Mr. Kerr this afternoon. As the members of. the. committee had only been appointed on the previous evening, they did not have their case as well in hand, as they,might have, had they ;been accorded more time; but they had a lengthy interview with Mr. Kerr, iu which the;questi6n of rates was discussed in a general way, and received an assurance trom him. that when the case is presented to hiui clearly in the form of a report, that he will do what' he can to remove any just cause for complaint wliich the merchants may have. .For the sake of expedition, Mr. Kerr suggested, to the members of the committee; thtit iii the presentation of the case to him, they.should endeavor to be as fair as possible, aiud confine,themselves to a statement, of what they; consider their grievances. He further asked them to state the goods upon which they considered the company's rate discriminated against Nelson. V. With"respect to the manner in which any possible remedy should be made, Mr. Kerr suggested that the method had better be left to the railway^ company. As to whether any reductions which might be made'should be upon the straight rate into Nelson, or in the form of a rebate on re-shipments to adjacent points, Mr. Kerr considered was a matter which should be left to the company, so that any changes decided upou would* not clash with other arrangements which the company might have. Although the conference with Mr. Kerr did not lead to anyactual result, the members of the committee are very well pleased with the manner in which they were received,,aud are confident that when their grievances are placed before.him that a remedy,will be found tor them. * playground and the cheque in payment would be sent up. The work of clearing off the lots and fencing them in is to be undertaken at once. .1.

He said, for instance, that Mr. Lafontaine, an officer in the public works department, had gone to the gold commissioner's office and got a list of abandoned claims. Mr. Lafontaine re-located the claims, kept one-half himself, and gave one-quarter to an emissary and one-quarter to a miner. The house will adjourn on Thursday to meet the following Tuesday. In the senate, senator Macdonald of Victoria called attention to a despatch from England, stating that a modus vivendi had been arrived at on the Alaskan boundary affair pending a full settlement.

J : SLOCAN LAKE LOCAL NEWS. Work has commenced on the new Anglican chilrch at New Denver, and the walls are looming up to view. The building is to be opened oil Whitsunday. A special meeting of the Knights of Pythias lodge of New Denver will be held next Wednesday night, for the purpose of greeting grand chancellor Iladdow of Nanaimo. He will be met at the wharf by an influential delegation. It is proposed to tender him a complimentary banquet after the meeting, to be given at the Newmarket hotel. Inspector of weights and measures Findley was in New Denver on Wednesday on an official visit. It is two years since he was last there. Decidedly wintry weather has prevailed on Slocan lake this week, Tuesday night being very cold. The spring is the latest on record, therestill being considerable snow on the ground. There are only three cases in the New Denver hospital, two with fractured legs and the third with a severe attack of pneumonia. The school trustees of New Denver received word from the government last night to send down the deeds of the new Receive the Attention of the South Kootenay Board of Trade. At the meeting of the South Kootenay board of trade, which was held last evening for the purpose of appointing W. A. Galliher a delegate on an Ottawa mission, applications for membership were received from S. S. Taylor, Q.C., F. G. Gibbs and P. Chapman. They were made members of the board by resolution without the formality of a ballot. . The resolution appointing Mr. Galliher was moved byT. G. Proctor, aud seconded by David Morris, and it was so worded that the delegate's mission will be confined to the public building matter. ' * W. A. Macdonald broughtfup the ques- ���tioh 'of-getting the delegate a. free pass .over tlie Canadian Pacific. He.said that "he had seenF. W. Peters, district freight agent of the company,'and. that' that official had promised that in the event of the board formally requestidg transportation for its delegate, he would take the same under consideration. This' matter, was discussed for quite a while, and was ultimately dropped on one or two members agreeing to interview the railway- officials on the delegate's behalf* and secure a pass if possible. In view of the visit of Robert Kerr, traffic manager tor the Canadian Pacific,' the board decided to appoint a committee- to wait on him and ascertain what could be done in the way of, securing more favorable freight rates for Nelson. The aim of the committee will be to get such rates to Nelson as will enable the local merchants to re-ship from Nelson to points within a giveu district at the same rate as goods could be laid down from eastern points. The committee to whom this matter was referred is made upotNL IJannermanT'P.ChapmiuiTVArFerlandrHr B. Thomson and M. DesBrisay. J. J. Campbell addressed the board on the lead question. When he had finished his remarks an informal discussion took place; but as the members present thought the question rather important, it was decided that an adjournment should be taken till Tuesday evening, when; the mattei* will be again taken up, and invitations Wjll be Sent put to the members Of the Kaslo board of trade to have l'eprc seutatives present. Receipts of Ore at Kaslo. Traflic Over the; Kaslo & Slocan railway has b^en above the average duting the past week. The following ate the Ore receipts at KA_.lo for tlie week ending Friday, the 24th: ��� Pounds.

GOiOOO making in all 023�� tons. The Payne ore goes to Omaha; the Rambler and one- half of the RecO goes to Aurora ; and the other half of the Reco goes to the Selby lead works at San Francisco. The other mines ship to the sampler of theKootenay Ore Company, and it is sent thence to Helena, Montana. The Liberty Hill appears in the list of shipping properties for the first time. Both Shipments Went to Northport. Julien & Audet this week made a shipment from the Blackcork mine, near Ymir, to theLe Roi smelter at Northport. The shipment consisted of twenty-one tons and carried sixty-three ounces gold and 108 ounces silver, the value of the shipment being $135.). The Porto Rico mine, which is only eighteen miles i'rbm Nelson, this week shipped twenty tons of gold concentrates to the Le Roi smelter at Northport. They carried one and a half ounces gold to the ton, and the consignment was valued at $000. J. J. Campbell of the Hall Mines, Limited, addressed the board of trade last night on the lead question. He has a plan of his own for improving present conditions, which he says should meet with the approval of the Canadian miner, smelter and lend manufacturer. His plan was to induce the government to permit lead mined and smelted in Canada, but refined ' in the United States, to re-enter Canada free of duty. As the United States government already permitted the smelting and refining of foreign lead in bond, there would be no difficulty in the way of putting the new plan into effect. As matters stand at present, the American smelters pay the Canadian miners tbe New York price for lead, less the United States duty, and as all Canadian lead bullion atpresent has to go to the United States, the Canadian smel ters do the same., Neither in the case of the American or the Canadian smelter was the duty ever actually paid. The lead going into the ' United States was refined in bond and used by the American smelters for their ' export trade. The American smelters in offering the rates which they do for the . treatment of Canadian lead, take into ac-* count in connection with their treatment rate the amount which they save though not being obliged to pay the United States import duty. It should not be thought that the United States smelters made a clean profit of the amount saved.through the export of Canadian leads, because as the one and a half cents per pound were taken into account in. the fixing of the treatment rate, it would merely mean that higher treatment rates would be charged should this - saving be lost to the smelters. With respect to the lead imports received into Canada, Mr. Campbell said that the imports of lead at present were greater than the lead product of all the mines of , Kootenay. This showed ' that there was already a Canadian" market for Canadian lead, and it was. .absurd that before "the '��� product of the Canadian lead mines' could reach the Canadian lead manufac- : turers it had to pass through the United States refineries and be subject to a Can^ -*��� adian duty upon re-entry" into Canada." '"��� At present there was imported, into Canada annually 0,000,000 pounds of raw lead, upon which a duty-of-15 per cent was paid. The result of this was that the Canadian lead manufacturer.ina country .in which lead was produced, had to pay . the world's'market.price for lead, plus the freight .to London, plus the freight back from London, plus 15 per cent duty at the Canadian frontier. It could therefore be easily understood that if-these two freight rates and 15 per cent duty could, ba saved to the'lead manufacturers of the east '. it would place them upon a better footing in their attempt not only to supply the local market, but the export field as well. There was a. great end growing market for lead in the Orient, and if the Canadian lead. manufacturers could secure a foothold* in the export trade a sufficient market would be created for Canadian lead to make it profitable to operate a Refinery in Kootenay. As-refined lead on the Pacific cosist would have a freight, preference of ��$18 per ton over lead at the refineries on the Atlantic,"the advantage * which the Kootenay refinery would have " in supplying lead for theOrient could be . easily understood. SLOCAN CONCENTRATES. Representations from European smelt-' ing works are being received by several of "theSlocarT"properties"iifquirifig-for zinc- ores.

J^ST;at present, the management bf the ��:' Ctlhaiiian Pacific Railway Gohipahy is %/mpstVanxious to make the people of Can- ���b "a(Ja,:b4lieve; that Canada's great railway is ���'-��� "the.ona patriotic cSOrppration ih Canada, ���?and.ithat it-is being operated with a single n eye "to Canada's ihteirests. If this Is so, whyisit"thatitfie:matte produced ai the Trail slnelter, w_ii6h is an appendage of " th.).Canadian Pacific' Bailway Company, is forwardfed to smelters at Kansas City, Missouri, United States of America* in preference to the Sail Mines smelter at Nelson, British Columbia, Dominion of Canada ? The Hall Mines smelter tuan- kgeth'etit is most anxious to secure the matte of the Trail smelter and convert it into -blister" copper. Those who have read the letters of the Canadian Pacific railway and Hall Mines officials, and have noted the warm regard which the representative of each company professes that his company has for the other, must be surprised that the warm regard of so powerful a company as the Canadian Pacific railway should be of such little benefit to bhe Hall Mines, Limited, in its efforts to build up a smelting industry in Kootenay. A RESULT of the preference shown to American smelters by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in the disposition of the matte of the Trail smelter is that the Hall Mines, Limited, will be unable to profitably operate its reverbera- tory and refining plant at Nelson, as the amount of matte produced from the Silver King ores is insufficient to keep the plant profitably employed continuously. If the practical working out of the sympathy of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the enterprise of the Hall Mines, Limited, has been of no greater benefit to the latter company than to effectually cripple one branch of the company's business, the people of Nelson may be pardoned for receiving with some skepticism fresh assurances of patriotic sympathy. ;.-...

A Frontier Stratagem. First post had gone on the bugle at Fort Saskatchewan, and the major.was sitting on the porch of his quarter.0, discussing with his adjutant the details of a practice inarch arranged the following week for B Troop. The hard blue ofthe sky changed to purple, theu to steel-gray, and Saturn appeared low down on the western horizon. Over the level stretches of the prairie the night wind blew softly, rustling the yellow grass. Ifc was peculiarly soothing to the two officers, smok-. ing in lazy contentment after an arduous day in the blazing August sun. They paused iu their chat, and their thoughts drifted to other lands; they saw faces,. the pensive faces of women and the laughing ones of little children, while they watched the stars come out, one by one, iu the deepening dusk. They remembered that those same stars shone over the homes which sheltered those women and children ;' they seemed like sentinel eyes keeping tireless vigil over those loved ones, separated from them by long leagues of hill and plain and by the vicissitudes of a soldier's calling; and their hearts warmedto their friendly twinkling.

FSntaineand Christianson can take the north bank Of the Saskatchewan as far as Lac Ste. Aune." Twenty minutes later the fbnfc details ptillBd out of Fort Saskatchewan on a bliud search for as choice a pair of blacklegs as might have been found anywhere within a hundred miles. "Up to the Winter before some of the Saskatchewan fellows had Cultivated the idea that they knew a little about the game of poker, but after ''Qrackerbox"��� baptized tVilliam McCorkle���had dwelt among then, for a month they had been driveh stubbornly,to the conviction that somehow they had made an error of judgment. A little earlier Calgary had been a flower, & night-blooming cereils, from the professional gambler's point of .view, but the bloom had worn off; it had become too slow and staid, and Craekerbox had heard of the Saskatchewan game and moved north. He thought there might be a profitable opening for him there, and he was correct. His operations at the green-table had been quite satisfactory to himself, and necessarily anything but satisfactory to any one else. Still, the gaine went on, aud Craekerbox continued to pull down his jack-pots with.complacent regularity, until one night things happened. It had been his deal, of course. He was discovered with four nines in his hand, and as three were held among the other players round the board, Cracker- box was called on for explanations, which he gave���at the point of a six-shooter. Tbey carried the wounded man home and Craekerbox to the guard-house. He had done fatigue duty on the woodpile aud, round the kitchen sink under the eye of an unsympathetic sentry, and, while he did not say so, thought it was no sort of occupation for a gentlemanly pi'ofessional gambler. He had been awaiting with feelings of deep distrust the departure of the next stage, which should carry him to the territorial peri to abide events while the sick man lingered. Perhaps they would even show so little.deference to his cloth and sensitiveness there as to put him on the stone-pile with absconding bank officers and other low violators of Dawson City, Yukon District. the law! The thought made his nostrils curl. "But now," as he said to himself on the night of his escape, "we have changed all that," The stage would depart without him. Milligan, the other fugitive, was a promoter; and Milligan was in trouble, as promoters now and then are apt to be. He had been the chief instrument in the mutiny that had occurred in B troop three months before, and was serving a year at hard labor in the guard-house for his. zeal in a cause which had been promptly frowned down. Early in the morning on the third day after the escape, two cavalrymen were riding across the prairie toward a distant log shack beside the trail which connected Calgary with Saskatchewan. It was a stopping-place for travelers and the only house in twenty miles. "They'll sure stop at Bennet's and eat," said sergeant Kay. "We'd best not ride too close." They drew aside into a bluff of poplars, aud fastened their horses among the trees. "Now," continued the sergeant, "take a walk to the right and come in below the window in the back of the shack. That knoll and the stacks will give you all the cover you require; mind you don't show yourself. I'll shy round by the left and get to the front door. When ifc opens, hold your gum on 'em from the window. Inside Bennet's, two men were breakfasting at a rough pine table. From the manner in which they ate, ifc might have been inferred that it was long since they had tasted food. "Hell!" said the smaller of the two, a youngish, compact, sallow man, with a carefully pointed, narrow black mustache, pausing for a minute as Bennet set a second heaping plate of meat on the table. "This is great! Ifc would take all B Troop to chase me from* such a feed." "Elegant," assented his companion, with a mouth full of steak. "Shtill I'm not askin'to see any av th'clan. Ut's good riddance, any ways ye take ut, an' I hope ther's as many moiles betune us as ther' is behoind us." '. The door creaked a trifle on its wooden hinges.

"Don't be downhearted, me son," he returned. "They can't give me too much of a good thing. I'll ask them-to let me have it."

I guess you know better than to make any breaks," he added, significantly, looking from one prisoner to the other. ''Too busy to think of it," returned Craekerbox, sitting down to the table again. "Kind of a tough proposition, this, sergeant," he added a moment later, after an ineffectual attempt to cut his meat; "tryin' to handle a meal with your wrists sawin' one against the other, like cattle in a yoke." Kay glanced at Hatherfcon. "Help him HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO D. R. WILKIE, General Manager NELSON BRANCH A general banking business transacted. - Savings bank department.

"Oh, I can't allow that!" protested the gambler. "I'll manage." He seized the meat in his fists and tore it between his teeth, like a dog. "Hei-e,- quit that!" exclaimed Kay. You're a human, at least��� notan animal." He took out his keys and unlocked one handcuff. "There, I'll let you eat decently, and not like a pagan, if you'll promise not to try to escape." A sudden brightness flashed into the gambler's eyes, but there was nothing of it left in the look he turned on Kay, as he replied with a bland smile: "Sure thing. I'd promise anything under the circumstances. That's easy. I say, sergeant, you're real obliging. I'll see that you're mentioned in orders." , "See that you keep you're promise; that'll be sufficient," said Kay, shortly unlocking a handcuff of the other man. Craekerbox laughed provokingly. "Now sergeant, I like your jokes. You loaded down with deadly weapons, and us " Sergeant Kay was naturally a kind man. Also, he dearly loved a game of poker, and, therefore, perhaps unsuspected by himself, nutured a secret admiration for this cool desperado, who looked on life as a game of chance, and took good or ill luck indifferently, as it came, with imperturbable good humor. But perhaps it was hardly discreet in the sergeant to allow his amiable disposition" to influence him to the extent of freeing his prisoner's hands. ; During the meal the talk .drifted to poker. Kay, knew enough about the game to have lost most of his pay a year before. He was interested in Crackerbox's professional skill. And when the gambler pushed back his chair after finishing his coffee and remarked : "Just let me show you how that's done sergeant, before you put the bracelets on again," and walked over to another table on which lay a pack of cards, Kay did not demur, but followed���he might learn something which would help him retrieve his losses, or perhaps even do better than that. Hatherton was interested, too, and stood beside the sergeant. Millingan was still eating. Account for ifc as you may, they appeared to have forgotten him��� perhaps because he had once been a fellow of B Troop, with a blank defaulter sheet. Bennet apparently knew all he wanted to about poker; he bustled around, banging his tin dishes aud pans. The noise enabled Milligan to slip up behind the troopers unobserved. "You see," said Craekerbox, picking up the thread of his story again, "there was fifteen hundred dollars in the pot and they'd all dropped out except Wat Batty and me. I took the deck in my left hand" ���"it was (supremely interesting���"like this, and 'Cards?' says I. 'I want one,' say Bat. I gave it to him. 'I'm takin' three, myself,'says I, while he looked at his hand- and I took 'em. They were good ones, arid they came right out o' the deck, here, like that���see?" "Hands up!" Ifc was Milligan who- spoke. The two troopers faced about and each looked into the unfriendly muzzle of his own revolver, which Milligan had deftly extracted from its holster as he leaned over its possessors shoulder. "Get them up, now, quick !" he repeated. Craekerbox laughed his exasperating laugh. "Yes, I would if I was in your place, sergeant," he remarked. "Everything has been real pleasant so far be? tween us this morning, and we wouldn't like to have any misunderstanding, now we're about parting from you. Oblige ns. Did you notice how that game came out ? Funny how it goes,' ain't it ? Luck with you one minute an' the next it's with the The Tremont Hotel IV|AL0J.E & TREGILLUS PROPRIETORS Headquarters for Miners and Prospectors other fellow. I didn't know you understood the sign language so well, Milligan. You tumbled handier than a, tailed steer. You must have belonged to the Invin- cibles before you left the ould counthry. What was your number?" Bennet looked on stoically while, with some difficulty, Craekerbox removed the handcuffs and replaced them on the wrists of his late captors. In accomplishing this the gambler hit upon what he regarded as a neat arrangement. " He stood Kay and Hatherton back to back and divided a pair of the cuffs between them on either side, securely linking them together. Bennet did not propose to risk his health in any attempt to uphold the dignity of the law. Why should he? From an abstract point of view it seems rather a peculiar fact; that there should so seldom be apparent auy strong general antipathy toward the man who has done nothing worse than shoot another man openly. It is only the wretch who lays unrighteous hands upon a woman���the Bill Sikeses of this world��� vvho find all doors of hope, of human forgiveness and forbearance shut against them. "You've been real hospitable, Mr. Bennet, and I just hate to put you out any ; but there are times, you understand when a man has to burn all his crossed bridges, and this looks to me like one qf the times. It's quite a ways to where we're going, and I guess you won't hold it against us if we rope you up with the others." They bound Kay's and Hatherton's ankles, and Craekerbox walked Bennet to his bunk in.the corner and tied him ori it hand and foot. Then, as he stood with his back to the others, he pulled a bill out of the silk handkerchief about his neck, winked and held it up so that the host could see the "50" printed On the corner, and then pushed it into Bennet's waistcoat-pocket. Milligan then went to the corral, and turned out Bennet's stock, and brought the troop horses from the bluff. "Well, so long, sergeant," said Cracker- box, as he stood beside Kay's saddle. "We'd be glad to spend another half-hour in your company, but you understand we've no time to waste in social entertainment. We.thank you for a real pleasant ruawnin' and for bringin' down these horses for our use. My feet was plumb playin' out, but I reckon we'll get on now. If you look real hard, boys, you'll find the. keys of them cuffs in the grass not more'a a hundred yards from here ; and, Bennet, your bosses won't stray so far but what you'll be able to pick 'em up to-morrer. Good day, sergeant. If you ever come down my way look me up. I wont't forget your consideration. I won't, honest." He.sprang into the saddle aud clattered off, but at a hundred yards he stopped and drawled over his soldier: "And, oh, I say, sahgeant, remembeh me to the majah ! And tell him I said, with my compliments, he wa'n't to fo'get to mention you in o'dehs!" Then the outlaws spurred across the prairie in the direction of that Line beyond which, lay another government, driving Bennet's loose horses before them, and that was the last the two troopers saw that day of Craekerbox and Milligan, In after years I sat often of an evening oyer Scotch with Kay, when he no longer wore government clothes or nursed an ambition to shine at poker, but had married a "girl" and settled down to raising cattle and a family. He spoke of many things, but he ; never told me what his his feelings were '-as he lay through that hot August afternoon on the floor at Bennet's, counting the slow hours, until a traveler: came along near dusk and released him, and I never asked. There are subjects which may not be touched upon eveu between friends. P. Burns <& Co.

Rev. father Ferland left this morning for Sandon, where he will conduct religious services tomorrow. ~ The charge of assault laid by William Brown against Michael Egan came up for hearing this forenoon before police magistrate Crease. No evidence was offered by the prosecution and the charge was dismissed. ��� Drowned inJ Six Feet of Water. The finding of John Evans' body at Rosebery was due tb the backing up of the Slocan with the transfer barge, which stirred up the water in the vicinity. The body was in only six feet of water and was lying on the sand, the imprint of the limbs being plainly discernible. Anyone passing over the spot iu a row boat could ��� have seen the body, as it evidently had not moved since Evans fell overboard from the barge. Evans had been on the Slocan but a short time, and had been in hard luck. He bad no desire to livp, as but a short time before he met his doath he had fallen into the lake at Silverton,' and when hauled out cursed his rescuers for not leaving him to his fate. Claim They Have a Big Body. The Leviathan Mining" Company have started men at work driving an additional .forty.feet to the 150-foot tunnel on their property on Campbell creek, opposite Kaslo. "The face of the tunnel is all bi.e,. which gives assay values in gold and copper of about $12 per ton. -.The ore is of' the same quality as that of the Rossland camp, and is steadily increasing in value" as development proceeds. .
