when Benton agreed to assist in commit

HIS owners were at first greatly annoy
ed at Pompey' nightly wanderings, and
made many efforts to keep him exclusive

long since concluded that the doctrine of
Pytha5oras is made manifest in their dog,
and they have come to believe that the
spirit of some deceased policeman has IN
fused itself in the body of Pompey. BE
that as it may, Pompey is one of the in
situations of the city, and one, too, of
which it may we'll be proud.
In conclusion, IT may be of interest to
naturalists to know that Pompey was
born without a tail. The theory of Oar

thus receive another confirmation.

W edneSday evening a Frenchman
named Albert Abattoy fell over the
bank of the river at Niagara Falls, dis

escaped with but few Slight bruises.
The accident occurred on the Canada
side Of the river, about 200 feet north of
the new bridge. Abattoy, who halls

Thomas Conroy, the noted guide, accom-

they learned of the accident, rowed over
from Prospect Park, expecting to find
the unfortunate man a mangled mass of
flesh and bones. Judge of their aston

discovered him wedged IL between some
rocks, swearing as lively as any man in
his position could, and suffering no per-
ceptble injuries excepting few
slight bruises. Abattoy was placed in
the boat and rowed over to the landing,
where every preparation had been made

it is nothing short of miraculous that the

years ago, and was instantly killed. 1t
was no doubt the quantity Of whisky he
had imbibed saved him. Had he been
sober, there is scarcely a probability but
that every spark of life would have been
crushed out of him by the terrib shock
his system received. Abattoy was swag-

A terrible case of death has Just come
to light near Jackson, Nebraska. John
Mcnamara, a farm hand VINO has been at
work in that vicinity, on the l4th inst.
presented himself at the house of Mike
Malooney in sad plight. He had been
on drunken spree, and had laid out the
night before, his clothes being wet with
dew, while his general appearance was
sorry indeed. Maloney gave the man his
breakfast, and after eating he went away,
saying he would 90 off and sleep in the
shade. This was the last seen of him I'M
I'll Tuesday the Goth, when Malonev came
upon his lifeless body about half mile
from Maloney's house. Animals had been
at the body and it was horribly mutilated
half eaten up. The stencil arising from
1t was slckening, and Mr.. Maloney did
not undertake at the time to inspect the
remains closely. Coroner Bates of Da-
kota City, was notified, and yesterday
proceeded to the place for the purpose of
holding an inquest. Mcnamara was a
single man about 25 years of age. and.
aside from his habit of spreeing. was well
regarded by those who had employed
him.
