James and Younger gang, eight miles
northeast of here, and held as q pris-
oner from five O'Clock p. m. till eight
in the evening. The robbers COM
PEELED him to change clothes and
horses with them, and among the
clothes they gave him was pair of
pants with bullet hole near the right
knee. He reports the robber to whom
the pants belonged as badly wounded
about the right knee, and thinks he
cannot stand it to travel much long,
er. 1t is thought the robbers headed
southwardly towards the Chicago and
Northwestern railway.

"a PUZZLE FOR THE DOCTORS.

tC0treSp0npent OF oulx Nlty sOuIuai.l
A physician Of Sibley, Ia, DR.. Miller,
has 4 strange case Of disease in his
practice, the details of which may be
{ inter esting to your readers and Of value
to medical men. Mrs Carew, is probably
fifty years of age, and we'll respected in
this community, where she has resided
for three years, during which time, and
for years previously, indeed she has been
an invalid. The disease develed what
IRE commonly known as fever sores on
various parts of the body, and one Of
these, situated in the region Of the right
breast, became SO dcpraved that it was
the source of great pain and annoyance.
The ulcer finally assumed sort Of can
cerous character, and for q number Of
months Mrs. G. was under mcdicle treat
ment for the supposed cancer, and at one
time she was supposed to be ircurablc.
However, for several months past. DR..
Miller has been attending the case, and
now comes the strange part Of the story.
During the past'two weeks, at different
times. he has extracted sewing -need}es
and brass pins from the aforesaid ulcer,
the total number being five pins and
three needles, some of which are extreme.
~ corroded, and one of the pins are con.
siderably bent and evidently had once
been used. One needle was extracted
only yesterday, but weather any others
remain, Of course it is impossible to say.
With reference to how the pins and
needles came to be imbedded in the flesh
is something of MYSTERY, especially how
they came there without the PATIENTS
knowledge. The only solution of the
difficulty seems to be that during the
severe suferings. induced by the treat
ment Of the ulcer as cancer, as she oc.
cupied reclining position for days weeks
together, the clothes and bandages were
generally pinned to her clothing. The
ulcer seemed to have its seat in the
alveolar tissue that united the lobes of
the mammary gland, and this tissue vas
wasted by supuration until the purulent
cavities were formed into which pin or
needle might have dropped without any
great difficulty, and that, too without the
patients knowledge in the midst of her
excruciating pains. Then, of course,
when under judicious treatment the
process Of healing began, these foreign
substances would necessarily find their
way to the surface. At any rate Mrs.
Carewis slowly recovering her health,

fact that the old-time cancer turns out to

II WOLF IN A BAGGAGE CAR.

n WOLF In "A BAGGAtE CAR.
The Atlanta(Ga.,) Herald Of the 24th

Baggage.master Hunt met on trip from
Chattanooga the day previous. It says
"At Chattanooga a man from some west.

chained about the neck, very large vel.
low wolf, the brute appeared to be docls
enough while in charge Of his owner,
although to strangers his fierce eyes and
grinning teeth were sufficient to keep one
at distance. By considerable pulling
and kicking and jerks, the man succeeded
in getting him aboard, and putting
him in the baggage'car, where he was
chained in one corner. AS might be we'll
imagined, the baggage master did not
fancy such companion in his car alone,
and protested against the act, but was
repeadly assured that the wolf was HARM

baggage-man's fears we're allayed, and
the train started. 1t leaves Chattanooga

and made his escape into the next car,
where he informed Conductor Bell of
what had taken place. That officer felt
outraged at the danger to which his sub

to dispatch the brute, but thought it best
to inform its owner of what had transpir-
ed before proceeding in his revengeful
errand. The proprietor Of the one.horse
menagerie was aroused and informed of
the situation, and told that he must make
reparation for the damage done or he
would be short Of wolf very soon. He
offered to console the injured party by
saying that the wolf was playing, and
that he frequently tore his clothes off in
these little antics. But this did not
restore the rent garment or allay the
anger Of the baggage.master, who insisted
on his making good what the beast had
made worthless. After considerable par
leying and pickering, they finally COM
promised on $40 so. After that the wolf
