A STRANGE SToEY.-To show anew
that truth may be stanger than fiction,
the Chicago Tribune tells this story:
A remarkable occurrence took place
last week on Wood street. A humble
cottage on that street is tenanted by a
young couple who last, year made their
bridal tour to California. Oregon and
Washington Territory. While engaged
in salmon fishing on one of the rivers,
the bridegroom was so unfortunate as
to drop into its current. yalpable
diamond ring belonging to his wife.
The loss of the gem was, of course,
mourned. but after while the incident
was forgotten, nor was it recalled till
last Thursday evening, when the young
husband. returning late at night from
taking stock, discovered that his wife
had prepared for supper can of sal
mon. Taking it up he looked careless
ly at the label, and said: Why, Mar Oh
this salmon was put up at that very
place where 1 lost your ring last sum-
mer. Wouldn't it be odd if a salmon
had swallowed it. and been caught and
canned at that very factory. and put in
20 this very can. and we should find the
ring in it? His wife answered him Jest
ingly, but he said: don't know how
to account for it, but have sort of
presentiment that I shall find that
ring yet in some such romantic manner.
She had scarcely said: Don I be goose.

CURIOUS PRANKs OF CRAZY WOMAN
The Union Pacific train that arrived
here recently from the West had among
its passengers man named Joinsen
from Cheyenne, who was taking his
wife, who was q lunatic, to the Insane
Asy lum al Mount Pleasant, Ia. In The
coach that they occupied there were
only three otherSpassengers. all men.
The poor woman was laboring under
the delusion that she was engaged to
make rag carpet for tho Centennial.
and with that in view she was continu-
ally tearing up her own clothes as we'll
as the clothes of everybody else that
she could get hold of and the pieces she
would sew together The husband
warned the gentlemen to watch her or
she would get hold of any loose cloth
ing they might have lying on their seats
and tear it into shreds. She had to be
closely watched on this account. Dur
ing the night the men fell asleep, and the
woman, having clear field, went on 9
grand "tear.' She ripped Eer own
clothing to pieces, and then got hold Of
an overcoat belonging to one of the
men and tore that up. She next served
two blankets belonging to the peanut
boy in the same manner, and she also
demolish one or two hats. When the
men awoke the one who had his over.
coat ruined called in the husband to
make it good. The husband couldn't
do it, however, az be had no money.
This led to his telling his sad story:
He had formerly been farmer in Iowa,
worth $4,000 or $4,000. He had been
married about seven years, and two
years ago his wife began to show signs
of insanity. He travelled all over the
world with her in hopes to cure her, but
everything failed. Misfortune after
misfortune overlook him leaving him q
penniless man. Among the other Incl
dents of his uniortunats career he re-
lated that when he was about TO send
his wife to Wales he purchased dratt
from an agent of Boston banking
house for $4,000, and the draft proved
to be bogus. He now has suit in the
East to recover the amount. For some
time past he has been resident of
Wyoming. and has been in the en-.
ploy of the Union Pacific Railway.
The expense of the transportation and
admission into the Mount Pleasant
Asylum is borne by Wyoming Territory.
