good hay. Cu, in the blossom and euro in

An Exciting Scene with Mr.. Rarey

The most exciting scene we ever witness
ed was what we call a mortal combat be-
tween man and horse. a powerful and mos,
beautiful thoroughbred s,alionsH4s intro
duced into the arena. The horssk looke d
around The sudience, stood on his hil @rgs
plowed up the ground, and 2resentsd the
most vivid picture Of wild, irreclaimsble
beast. He literally roared in fury, and
kicked out of pure viciousness. He snapped
a, the groom and Mr. Rarey, and actually
bit his own flesh in his passion. He tore to
pieces every strap which was placed upon
him, hurting the groom, who had come TO
Mr.. Rarep's assistance, ignominously the
whole length of the arena. At one time the
horse broke clear away from all, and stood
for moment conscious yictcr in the midst
of the excited audience. Mr.. Dycer and Mr.
Farrell both came to Mr.. Rarey's assistance
bat they were utterly unable TO hold the
animal, He scattered every man aud every
thing around him like chaff He was batheC
in u white foam, and sending up clouds OF
vapor from his body. At one moment he
tossed up the straw wildly, at another hi
sent the strong barriers flying in every d.
rection, and for come time he stood the com
plete person ification of Giablerie alone in
the arena, roaring furiously, and tearing Al
the barriers with his teeth.
Mr.. Rarey having wOehed HE hands and
rested for few minutes, again ventured tc
approach him. Then began cOhtes, suci

A New Sensation From the Gal

per.z Heir to Wealth.

We saw yesterday q letter from the Prus.
dressed TO Greenbaum Brothers, making in.
quires as 10 the whereabouts OF Heinrich
Jumpertz. stating that lady residing near
the place Of his nativity had died recently,
leaving Henry, hls brother Frsuz and one
or two others heirs TO vast estate, consist.
ing Of lsnds, stocks ard money, and request
ing the Messrs. GreenbIum. bankers, 10
make out such documents as were necessary
TO secure to Henry his share in the legacy.
The letter stated several Circumstances
which leave no doubt that Henry Jumpertz,
90 well known TO the citizsns Of Chicago,
tragedy, or "barred mystery" as II has been
termed, is the fortunate legatee. Bon is
given as his birthplace, 1894 as the year OF
his birth; it Is stated that he came TO this
country With bis brother Frauz, from whom
he parted in New York city, and that he
had been tried and acquitted on charge,
the nature Of which was stated; and other
circumstances were mentioned which leave
the Identification complete.
A romance, which has almost been 6

Or--as naiads haunt the streams

TBarbar,y unworthy of the Pawnee
tribe, was perpetrated on board fhe Paw
nee, U. s. steam frigate in the harbor of
Philadelphia. An eye witness furnished
the Philade phia Press the following dec
cription OF the torture.
The man was hung aloft from the rig
ring by his hands and feet by hard tarred
cord about threg-eghths of an inch in
thickness. He remained in that state Of
torture from seven till eleven O'Clock, and
was only then taken down by, reason of the
drenching rain increasing the weight of his
clothing so as to threaten swapping the
cords by which he was suspended. The
same punishment is to be repeated az soon
as he is sufficiently recovered to mount the
rigging.
