The creek is full of tnem out here. This Injun will get you some lines.” A veritable war-whoop followed the an nouncement, and the anglers broke into a war dance, cifwiing at all hands around, doing tho pigeon-wings and chains in such a frenzied manner that the astonished Indians crept np on the barrels and sat gaping and trembling ip their blankets at the sight of their uncivilized white brethren. Tho Indians brought tho fish lines, with common hooks and small stones tied on for sinkers, and the anglers were rowed oat in an old scow and anchored not fifty feet from the fisi house. It was uot artistic fishing wi fancy flies, and anglers with pat ent reels and nets would have loosed •corn at the little group steadily pull ing iu all the hungry trout that snap ped at the bits or salmon or salmon eggs hung out to them. An old Indian and a small boy came paddling around in a leaky canoe, and were pressed into service to cut bait for the busy fisher men. As the trout flopped into the scow faster than ono a minute, wild shouts runt the air, and liie Siwash ad- justants joined in tho yells that would likvu friyUUuud off auylhiag clsojn scales out these untutored Alaska trout. Tho flopping fish splashed and spoiled the clothes of the fishermen, but they never heeded that, and a tally-keeper was installed on the flour bags and barrels at the end of the scow. The excitement was communi cated to idlers who bad staid on the ship, and toon a second boat put out for the fishing ground, full of wild eyed anglers anxious to join in the carnival They anchored near t^‘ •cow, and their efforts were B tg 0 i Te< j with shouta of derision - lh * ^ filing in devil-fislWfi^ Lipin, skate, and curious enough to stock a.^Kium before a single trout __ hooked. The Indians came down and sat in solemn rows on the logs on the shore to watoh tho orasy white fishermen, and they mita picturesque groups that were repeated in the glassy mirrror of water before them. One old fellow in a red blanket made a fide point of color against the thick golden- green wall of spruce trees on the shore, and children and dogs gave a char acteristic fringe to all tho groups. When the last lighter put out for the ship the lines were wound up, and the tally-keeper on the flour-bags read the record of the barrel tops. The two men, one small boy, and the brave creature in six-button gloves who bait ed and tended her own hook caught altogether 110 trout in the hour and • quarter at anchor in the old scow. The weight was 80 pounds, and the fisher men were wild with glee. The one fair angler and the tally-keeper having mopped the slimy boat and the pile of fish with their dresses and then seated themselvey on flour-bags, had full views of (he fishing scene photographed on every breadth of their gowns. What shall I do with my dress?’’ asked one of them when she reached the calm and well-dressed company on deck, and a cheerful woman said brusquely: “1 less you’d better fry it, now that it is ed in batter.”—Gcr.

A passenger train dashed into it sod was ditched. The engineer was killed and several cars wrecked and a number of passengers injured. The railroad detectives have succeeded in tracing the deed to a merchant at Purvis, Miss. It was ascertained that his cattle had been killed by me train. He had appealed for damages, and, failing to receive any, was embittered against the road, and took this means of wreaking ven geance. His son assisted him. The populace were driven to fury over his diabolical deed and to-day at daybreak took him from jail and hanged him. The wretch confessed the deed before he was hanged and exonerated his son. His name has not been learned. Killed by Fright.
