never failing fever. During this stage Of the
disease he sat by an open window in the car

renee to the astonished railroad men. he
had made his leap in the deliridm of fever,
being fally psrsusded that some men sitting
in the car with shot guns in theft hands were
intending to shoot him aud steal his money.
They were talking and SHOCKING prairie

That railroad is certainly . lucky one, since
adventures thereon are always wonderful es-

onward twenty feet or more, and landed him
on the earth again unhurt. This leap, how.
ever, heads the list.
