ADAM POE's RIFLE.

One Of the editors of the Buffalo Republic,
recently met Adam Poe, a grandson of the
famous Indian killer of that name. The grand.
son is. a Methodist Clergyman in Cincinnati
and an agent for the Methodist Book Concern.
The Republic says:
1--WE met him on the cars q day or two ago
going to Cleveland, and he had in his posses
sion the stock of the. rifle with which his
grandfather killed the Wyandotte Indian,
"Rig Foot" He intends to present it to the
Historical Society in Cincinnati. The cele-
brated fight took place in june, 1892, just
Virgins side of the Ohio River. Poe was
commander of a fort near the Virginia line, in
Pennsylvania, and was on an expedition to
rescue a couple of prisoners. from the Indians,
when he fell in with big Foot" The battle
was a fierce one, as is well known, every one
being familiar with the history of it.. Poe de-
cided it in his own favor, by dealing the In
dian q tremendous blow over the head with
his rife, breaking the stock in two about the
middle. The rife, which before had done
good service in Poe's frontier life, was laid
aside after that memorable battle, there being
40 gunsmith near. to repaiS it. Adam Poe
brought the rifle to Frederick City, Md, from
which place he emigreted to the West. Years
after his great fight, Adam Pee gave the rife
to his grandson Daniel Poe, brother of the
present possessor of it. In 1897 Daniel was
appointed missionary to Green Bay, and desi-
ring to take the rifle with him, he had it re-
stocked at Canton, Ohio. The flint lock and
trimmings was removed from The old stock to
be put on the new one. Daniel was going to
throw away the old stock as worthless, but at
the request of DIR. Robert Estep, of Canton, he
gave it to him to keep as a relic. On the
death of the Doctor it descended to his son,
who gave it TO Isaac Hazlet, of Canton, who
last week gave it to Adam Poe, of Cincinnati.
It was stained and battered and showed the
effect of much hard usage. Daniel Poe died
in Texas a few years ago, where he had emf
grated from Green Bay. During a visit of
his brother Adam, who vent there to settle
his estate, a diligent effort was made to obtain
the rifle containing the original barrel, lock,
ETC., but no trace could be found of it. 1t had
been sold some time before. 81
The old gun stock, broken in that memora-
BILE fight, created. a good deal of interest
among the passengers who examined it with
veneration. Adam Poe, the Indian fighter,
died in October, 1888, near MassiIlon, Ohio,
at the advanced age of 90.

A6ALIFoRHIA WIDOWS MODE OF RID.
DING HERSELF OF AN OBNOXIOUS
SUITOR. @A12E 49, UFtA Eg

The Marysvifle CCal.) Democrat tells of a
handsome young widow residing there, who,
like all her class, is p~estered with suitors. On
Monday last (washing day. one came along.
She was up to her elbows in suds, and opened
the door with q determination to say some
thing harsh; tho't better of it, and said to
the nice young man: aGood morning, Mr..
John Smith 1 am very glad to see you, and
should be glad to have you come in, but the
fact is, l am busy in the kitchen, washing"
"Ah, no matter" he answered, 81 will sit a
little while in there; you can go on with your
work the same; I delight to get into the kit
chen, it is SO pleasant and houselike." IF he
was delighted, so was not the widow. SIZE
gave him a chair, and chatted away quite mer-
rily, however, at the same time, seeming very
much engaged with the work before her
Presently she took up q large sized wash ba-
sin, and filed it fall Of hot snds from the boil
er on the stove, and stepping to the table took
up a boquet that was lying thereon, and in
the most innocent manner conceivable, asked
the gentleman if he could tell the botanical
naaae of one of the flowers contained therein.
vi course he rose from the chair and stepped
forward to examine it. The malicious woman
adroitly set down the basin in the vacated seat.
Then she rivited his gaze with one of her
sweetest smiles, and presented to him the bo-
quet, and begged he would. keep it for her
sake-and babe him resume his seat. He
obeyed! That widow has not had q caller in
her kitchen SINCE.

notwithstanding the belief that the harvest of
1860, throughout the Northwest, will be City

THE NEXT ROOM.

1t has been Mace Sloper's luck to be very
frequently quartered in rooms with nothing
but a door between his room and his neigh,
bors; and whenever this happened he has been
pretty generally about as certain to, hear, will

THE STORY ABOUT THE PR ATE HICKS

We gave an article few days since from the
NewYork Leader in which that paper made
. the assertion that Hicks, the pirate, was resus-
citated after being taken from the gallows.-
The Leader still adheres to the assertion, and
saws that Mrs. Hicks has never been able to
find the body. We remember, at the time OF
the execution, that the New York papers said
that Mrs. Hicks waited all day at a certain
cemetery to see the body of herhusband when
it should be brought for burial, but that it did
not come there, having by some misunderstan
ding been takento another cemetery We
thought that was a singular Misrepresentation
that should deprive the wife of seeing the
corpse Of her husband, and so far as that pecu=
liar Incident is concerned the New York Lead
er has the beneftvoft it. In the last number
Of that paper it says: zsE ft
It will be recollected that Mrs. Hicks and
the priests she had engaged to bury the pirate
were left waiting at the barge Office on the
Battery for several hours, while the parties
who had the body in charge took it ashore at
another pier, and according to their own state
Hicks-conveyed the coffin to Calvary Gene
tery, where it was buried Such facts speak
for themselves -
reliable witnesses have seen Hicks alive, and
walking the streets of New York since the day
of his supposed execution; and a Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal states that ga gentleman
who had Just called to zee him, while he was
absent, said that Hicks hadbeen brought down
from ~Poughkeepsie, in order to be made the
subject of a medical operation in this city.
The gentleman said that the pirate could open
his mouth, but had no power of utteranee--
He believed, from Hicks appearance, that it
would be impossible for him to live much
longer" If this is not good evidence. under
all the peculiar circumstances, we would like
to know what would be considered as such.
Tt is to be remarked that of the foyrdeetoFs
named by us as having been engaged in the
resuscitation, only one has denied the fact, and
in his case we confess we were wrong. Ia
King down our evidence hastily and excitedly
from the lips of two informants, We may have
mistaken the name of DIR. Carmichael, and
written Carnochan Ia its place. But Drs.
Crane. O,Reilley and Bull have all acknowE
edged by their silence what is an undoubted
medical triumph. And even in Carnochan,s
case-supposing he ever did deny 1t, which
we doubt-it is to be remembered that he was
not under oath, and cannot be expected to feel
under very strong obligations to reveal any OF
the secrets of the faculty. But GAl6ert W:
