the bntte m t in termountain thus describes one of the specimens who weighed 180 pounds was 35 years old and was five feet ten j inches tall and was dressed in a drab colored business suit : but the most singular thing about the man is the appearance of a third arm which starting out from between the lower points of the shoulder blades extends outward at least three feet from the body the arm is of extraordinary size and strength has an easy working elbow and end with a hand ofuniisal proportions provid ed with a thumb and four fingers when not in use it is carried over the right shoulder the hand resting over the pit of the stomach jumping from the lower step to the ground with the ease and grace of a well-trained athlete the singular looking stranger went to the baggage car from whence there was shoved out by the baggage master fii.st a huge trunk weighing at least 150 pounds then a well filled valise an i lastly a - huge roll of blankets and furs tak ing the trunk by the back hand

ordered the crew to tire whereupon the captain drew his revolver and threatened to shoot the first man who obeyed or repeated the order babrilles again ordered the men to tire when the captain shot

laxables were made to bear what they ought to bear there would be plenty of money in the state treasury let the listing of taxes become what it ought to be a matter of honor and let taxes be equalized
