MOwry had also stated at another time
that reason for his marrying the creole

Strange Case of M0nOmania.

In the theaters, hotels, and other public
places of Boston man is often seen whose
odd demeanOr is the subject of much COM
ment. He wears good clothes, has an in
telligent appearance, and the speech OF an
educated man, but his eyes have the un-
mistakable CLEAN of insanity. He is al
ways in hurry. and always inquiring for
Charles Garner. This man is Frank A..
Smith, and his mania was strangely devel-
oped. About five years ago he was in
Kansas. In the bar-room of tavern in
which he was staying for a few days he
got into quarrel with bullying frontiers
man, and was finally struck by his aggres-
sive opponent. Believing that his life was
in danger he drew a revolver, at which the
scared Cesperado ran out of the room.
Smith followed and fired but the bullet
probably did no damage, as the man was
not seen that night, nor afterward in that
neighborhood. 1t is supposed that he
dared not return to the tavern at once.
The excitement of the encounter seriously
affected Smith, who was not in good
health, and his morbid fancy made him
think that he had killed his assailant. He
returned to his home in Boston, firmly i'm
pressed that he was a murderer. His
friends have sought for the missing man in
vain, only learning that his name was
Charles Garner, and that he was disso-
lutte vagabond. Smith refuses to be con-
vinced that his delusion is not fact, vet is
always looking for Garner, whom he says
he is certain be must have "shot entirely
out of existence" In all other respects
he is sane.

The Farm King Of Illinois.

Mr.. i. Sullivant, the great farmer of
Illinois, and of the West, too, for that
matter, was in FL Paso recently. He
called on Seery & Rouse, who have been

cry for some years, and ordered of them
half dozen Buckeye mowers. Sullivant

do any thing by halves.

DEATH.BED RESTITUTION.
The Latest Method of Cashing COun-
terfeits as Prac ticed i'm Detroit.

Wednesday morning last, says the De-
| trOit Free Press, a stranger entered a dry
| goods store on Woodward Avenue and
inquired for the proprietor, whose feelings
are herewith respected and his name sup
! pressed. The stranger introduced him
! self as Fiske, and..>aid that.a man, who lay
dying at a certain clearinghouse on Lar
ned Street west, had something to say to
! the merchant before he passed away.
Thinking it very singular, the merchant
put on his over coat and went down to the
house in company with the stranger. On
bed up stairs, he found the dying man.
The merchant expected to find a pale,
emaciated patient, but instead he found a
pretty healthy-loOking fellow, who was,
however. snugly covered up in bed, and
whose voice was way down in his throat.
You wished to see me, did you ~
asked the merchant. as he sat down.
81 did," answered the patient. "The
doctor says that will not live twenty-fOur
hours, and want to confess a crime and
ask forgiveness. You don't know me,
but | know you. You were keeping
store in st. Joseph in 1851"
Y es, " answered the merchant.
"Well," continued the man, 81 hap
pened to be in st. Joseph that year, and
one day while you were at dinner and
your clerks busy [ stole pair of boots
and a cap, amounting in value to perhaps
six dollars. 1t is the only theft ever COM
mitted, and it has caused me endless ankle
ty. Now, before | die, wish to ask your
forgiveness, and to restore the value of the
goods"
The merchant could not remember any
thing about the affair, nor of the man,
who said his name was Jefferson, and he
replied that it was all right, and that he
didn't care for compensation. But both
men pressed him to take at least fifteen
dollars for the amount stolen so long ago,
and he reluctantly consented. The dying
man pulled out roll of bills, all of the
denomination of Sl00, and the merchant
handed him back fifty-fOur dollars, all the
money he had, and told the well man to
come to the store after the rest. He shook
hands with the patient, hoped that death
might be arrested, and returned to the
store alone, having the 500 bill in his vest
pocket. The stranger had not called up
to p. m, and the merchant finally took
a closer look at the bill. His hair began
to raise up, and he started for bank.
"Best counterfeit I've seen for a year J "
remarked the cashier as he handed the bill
back.
The merchant then secured the services
of detective and they hastened to the
clearinghouse to find that the men had
departed before noon. They came there
the evening previous, paid for two days
board, and the landlady did not know any
thing about them, but supposed the mer-
chant knew them both. One at least must
have known something of the merchants
former history. as he referred to facts, and
although they did not get the stake they
played for they nevertheless made good
enough thing of it. Ever since Wednes-
day detective h9s been looking for the
men, and the greatest care has been taken
that the reporters shouldn't get hold of the

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Suit in which an Indian Girl is
Plaintiff Involving Many Millions of

DOhbafs-
A case is now in progress in the United
States Circuit Court at Pittsburg, Pa, of
vast importance. 1t is suit on account of
an ejectment, the plaintiff being the In
dian girl, Mary Cub-ba-you-quit vs.. F. s..
Bissell ct al.
1t involves interests of a more peculiar
character than were ever developed in our
courts. The action is brought to recover
about ninety-two acres of land, known for
years as the Mowry estate, situated IN the
Seventeenth Ward of Pittsburg, in the very
heart of the city, and occupied by manu-
factories and other buildings, aggregating
in value several million dollars. The es-
tate belonged to William bowry, who was
supposed to have died without issue. In
commencing the action the Indian girl, a
Michigan Indian, claimed that she was the
legal heir of the said William Mowry, and
that the title of the land aforesaid was in
her and not in Biesell and the several 9th
ers who have been living peaceably and
quietly in possession of the property for
so many years. Besides the interest of
the plaintiff the interest of 100 persons
living on the property, and who supposed
they held legal title to the property, is
involved. q rFF rr ~ q AID g
Mr.. James Murray opened the case for
the plaintiff, in which he detailed the trip
of Mowry to the West, he being employed
with firm trading with the Indians, his
meeting with the Indian girls mother and
his expression of the desire to marry her.
He secured the services of several gentle
men as intercessors, and at length married
the creole, or half breed, according to the
peculiar customs of the Indian times. The
friends of the girl at first refused, but
Mowry sent for her parents, declared he
intended to live with her if he married
her, and complied with all the customs OF
the Indian marriage. They then. gave
their consent TO the marriage.
Mr.. Murray also referred to numerous
witnesses who would testify that Mowry
