^ y ONLY A DREAM. % ???? "Old Timer" Tells a Story of the tv / Long Ago. Wanderer's Rest, June 27.?The old men shall see visions, and so they do, for a certain old man saw one in his dreams last week. A most beautiful one came to him with teeth of pearls, a lovely face, and sweetest smiles; with laughing eyes of azure blue and dark hair that hung in beautiful waves and was clad in a rich gown of spotless white, not befrilled but hung in graceful folds over a form of perfect shape. In fact the beauty of the vision woke him and on awakening the clock struck two, and in an oak not far from his window a mocking bird was sending forth his happiest strains in the moonlight so bright and soft, which brought back Hawthorne s song? "Oft in the stilly night, When all is calm around me, Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me." And as he listened at the song of the mocking bird, and thought of fcv- >*..' the vision, then visions of the far-1 f1 away South-west came back again, and one day that a party of seven jolly young men took a trip over the \V 1 . \ plains with Pedro, a Mexican boy, as driver, and as the sun went down behind the coast range mountains i > V with the sunbeams glistering on the peaks, with the Twin Brother mountains standing silent but grand ' sentinels to the North and old Baldy North of East with the sun ftfe- light still glistning on the snow that & r. was fourteen thousand feet above sea level we drove up to a large Mexi|~v can house built of adobe, with palms and vines, lemons, oranges, in fact nestled among the beauties of subtropicial verdure. Was asked a * night's lodging which in true Western hospitality was granted and all made to feel welcome, and the kind host /proved to be an Arizona cattle king who had bought this little Eden from a wealthy Mexican to spend in peace and comfort his declining years in view of the broad Pacific, while his sons looked after his flocks t ; and herds as they grazed over the Arizona plains. Soon supper was announced and while seated there he gave a slight W history of his life, and was from I Louisiana. Then wanted to know where each one was from. Four hailed from Texas, one from Illinois, one from Iowa and one from South v Carolina. When the last named was called a tall spare built man with t blue eyes and long grey locks who had been the silent one sprang up f and said: "Give me your hand; 1 am from the old North State and we , ;; are cousins, and I am truly glad to ' see one from the home States, and namo ia PharlAR Smith." and this Sis the man that came as the full moon shone and the mocking bird was singing, and of him this story i hangs. "Come," said he as soon as supv per was over, "I want to have a talk with you all alone, and we will go on the piazza facing the ocean where !' you can see the light from the light house and the lights of the ships as they plow through the waters of the f mighty Pacific twenty miles away, also a fine view of the electric lights from the city, Los Angeles, eighteen miles away," and he was right for with the soft Southern breeze blowing and the crescent moon hanging in the west mountains looming in the distance all made a scene never ?&?*. to be forgotten. After being seated he cut a piece of tobacco put it in his mouth and was silent for a few moments, then |t v he said: "Yes, I am from old North Carolina, came here in '49; yes I Ih:-.,.. . am a forty-niner, took the gold P? ; 1 craze and came to make a fortune, -7'.-' .... out it never came my way ana now I have been with Bill and his family for years and they are true friends and I'm content. I left the old home V-. way back East, father and mother and a pretty little mountain girl that was to marry me when I got back with my fortune and we would be happy forever, but the last word my mother said to me was 'be honest, i Charlie, if we never meet again,' and her words have rung in my ears each day since, and they saved me once, for as I have said my claims were not paying ones. While I never supposed I. could not find a rich strike like some, one morning I took a near cut from my cabin to my claim and ran into a-large pot of gold dust hidden in the brush. Then came thoughts of father and mother far away in the old home, how I did long to go back once more, but I knew the sold was not mine so went on. Next day I just had to go by that gold dust, and the third one I stood by it a long time, almost taking the pot in spite of all that I could do, but mother's words came' to me then, and I hurried to the owners, for I knew them, and asked them to take it away. Next day it was gone and I was glad that I was honest still. Father, he died, then mother, too, and the girl,' she married in a year or two after I left. S : fy|v. > . ; I am here and will be buried here in sight of the big Pacific, still I long for one sight of the old place away back East, but will never see it again and hope to meet father and that mother that saved me to die honest and hope to meet them across 'he great divide. Come now, you share my bed with me," and soon he was sawing gourds and dreaming of home perhaps far, far away. OLD TIMER. Cotton Brokers Pay Fines. New York, June 30.?On motion of U. S.

Murders Sister for a Biscuit. Ella McMaster Is dead, killed by a shot gun in the hands of her brother, Henry McMaster, as the result of a quarrel over a biscuit yesterday morning. The dead girl was only 10 years of age while her slayer is just past . fifteen. The affair occurred on the plantation of Mr. A. M. Titman about one and one-half miles north of Lowryville just across the line in York county, taking place yesterday morning about 7:30 o'clock when breakfast was being eaten. All of the parties to the shooting are colored. From information given the Lantern, it appears that henry McMaster and his sister, Ella McMaster, were living with their grandmother, the wife of Henry Stephens; that yesterday morning at the breakfast table the boy and girl got into a dispute about which one was to have a biscuit to eat. Each claimed it and finally the discussion rose to white heat. To emphasize his argument Henry McMaster jumped up and grabbed his shot gun and emptied the entire contents into his sister's breast, ; literally blowing her body to pieces ^ ind killing her instantly. ' The affair happened in York county and it is not known whether the slayer has been apprehended or not but it is supposed that he has. A 'phone message was sent to Chester to be on the lookout for him but he hasn't appeared in this section. The exereme youthfulness of both 4 parties coupled yith the deliberate ( result of the shooting is appalling. A i young girl just 10 years of age shot i down instantly by her brother is 1 dreadful to think of. \ It is stated that the father of this < MsMaster boy served a term on the Chester county chaingang for stealing something from the store of Mr. i G. J. Steele at' Lowryville some years ago, escaping jusf'before his term ex- : pired and hasn't been heard of for sometime. His whereabouts at present are unknown. clavop inhpritpH thp fT u^vuva buv/ v* aumv. lawless traits from his father or shot his sister in a moment of passion are questions which will have to be decided by the jury which tries the case. The shooting caused much comment in Lowryville yesterday. Later?Information received this morning states that Henry McMaster, the slayer, has been arrested and jailed in Yorkville. It is also learned that the father of this boy was rearrested and served out his sentence on the Chester county chaingang.?Chester Lantern.
