Slashing a Leeper.

Report says that Miss Coffey was one
of the most modest and sweet tempered
young women in Lawrence, Kas., and
that Mr.. Leeper was worthless, bully
ing fellow; yet, when they married, il
was his parents who objected to the
union. He lived with his wife only two
weeks, and then it was mutually agreed
that they should separate. The bride
assented quietly, saying that she was
pleased to be rid of her husband. He
subsequently spoke unexpectedly
about her to his friends. One evening
he stood jauntily in the door of the
Posroffice, smoking. She came along in
her customary diffident manner, handed
her parasol to bystander, took off her
gloves, drew cowhide from her pocket,
and slashed Leeper across the face until
he was terribly disfgured. Then she
took back her parasol, put on her gloves,
and walked demurely on.

A sign on house on Croghan street
informs the public that Washing is done
there, and it was quite natural that a
mechanic working near by should take
a bundle under his arm and call there
and ask of the boy on the step:
"Bub, is the washwoman IMP"
"No, sir - was the prompt reply,
"there's no washwoman here at all -
"But that sign says washing done
here, remarked the man.
"S'pose it does !" remarked the boy,
in higher key" s'pose it does2 A

that she is willing to wash and iron

from Florida, reports that one day dur

of a few moments Capt. Whitmore took
hold of the log-line to pull in the log,
when to his establishment he found he
could not move it. Calling two or three
men to his assistance, they succeeded in
getting the log close up to the vessel,

A Infatuated Elephant.

There was dreadful scene here on
Tuesday afternoon, when very large
mad elephant ran through the station
and killed half dozen persons. The
elephant belonged to the Raiah of VIII
anagram, and was brought here from
Benares by wealthy Mohammedan on
the occasion of the marriage of a relative
of his. The animal was, as the mahout
reports, kept in the sun, overworked and
not properly rationed during its journey
The mahout states that he asked for
some money for medicine from his mas
ter, who ordered payment of annas or
80, which he declined to receive. There
were couple of men on the howdah.
and the mahout was on the shoulders of
the elephant when it ran away. The
riders got free of the animal by catching
hold of the branches of trees by which
it passed. The mahout remained for
some time on it's back, and tried his best
to keep it in check, but when he saw it
was impossible for him to control the
animal.he jumped from its back. The
brute killed six persons and injured two.
One of the deceased climbed up bam-
boo tree in his endeavor to escape, but
tuc duiluhl upiOOOtQ tuC LItt, Lie man
fell to the ground and the elephant
killed him on the spot. At s o'clock in
the evening the elephant turned toward
the Government treasury and the Re-
serve Police lines. Some OF the Sepoys.
leaving their charpoys, climbed up the
mango trees, and some bolted toward
the English quarters. Continuing its
mad career, the elephant entered the
compound of Mrs. Cookies bungalow,
now occupied by Mr.. Nicholson, Sub
Deputy Opium Agent, who fired and hit
the animal on the head. This made it
more furious, and it endeavored to enter
the room occupied by Mr. Nicholson and
his brother. Seeing the elephant in the
veranda he fired again, hitting it on the
trunk, and blood poured profusely from
the wound. The animal was at large
until next morning, when it was with
great difficulty secured with chains
by the mahout and several others

Horse.stealing in the West.

During the past ten or twelve year
DEMONSTRATING along the Western borde
or along the State lines of Iowa, Nebras
ka, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas ha
been a lucrative business. Thousand
of fine horses have been stolen and rul
out of reach, and comparatively few o
the thieves have been arrested. Within
the last eight months the number O
horses reported stolen at police head
quarters in Kansas City was 1858. The
thefts reported were divided among tn,
four border States in the Mississippi val
ley as follows: Horses reported stoler
in Kansas, 157; in Missouri, 140; in Iowa
so; in Nebraska, 81; total 368. This
number only includes those adver
tised by their owners, and whose cards
reached the Kansas City police station.
1t is presumable that this estimate does
not cover more than one-half the mum.

mate the losses of the owners at $50, 600
in the four States bordering on the Mis-
ming out horses is thus described /:
1.-Two of the gang enter settlement
where there are good horses, and hire
themselves out as farm-hands. BY this
means they learn the habits of the own
ers, and the location of the coveted
horses. Within few days after they
leave place or a neighborhood raid is
made upon the stable, and the coveted
horse disappears. The thieves run their
stock over lines seldom travelled, and, as
the gang is very large, the same men
seldom go more than one or two weeks
before changing horses, and return to
the neighborhood of the theft to take
notes and spread false reports to mislead
pursuit. One instance is related of a
horse Stolen in Fremont county, Iowa,
passing through ten hands, all of them
members of the gang, before it was sold
in Sherman, Texas. In some places in
Western Missouri, Arkansas and Iowa,
and in Eastern Kansas there are farms
kept open for the especial benefit of the
gang. These are generally in quiet, re-
mote districts, far from the main road,
where horses can be fed, doctored, and
disguised for safe sale. Notwithstand-
ing the zeal with which Western farmers
endeavor to suppress them, the number
of horse-thieves is constantly on the in
crease. Of the 157 horses stolen in Kan
sas, more than 100 were stolen by boys
under % years of age. Of the 140 stolen
In the last eight months in Western Mis-
souri,, more than two-thirds of the num-
Der were stolen by young men. But
older men do the concealing and trading.
The records of the past year show that
more than half of the horse thieves
caught in this region were men of ma
ture age. A liberal estimate of the
number of stolen horses recovered in
this region is one out of two. kansas

Murderous ARRAY in North Carolina

Intelligence has just reached this city
of a murderous melee in Brunswick
county, in which Hank Norris and Jonas
Wilson were killed and Alex. Hughes
and William Bland were MORALLY wound
ed. 1t seems that the parties named,
together with several other gentlemen,
had gathered at the store of Mr.. Charles
Thomas to discuss local politics and spin
yarns. They had been seated but few
minutes, when Norris addressed a remark
to Wilson, but to which Wilson. who
was little deaf, failed to reply. Norris
did not know that Wilson was hard of
hearing. When he made no answer. he
(Norrisl became very angry. He said it
was personal insult, and, as Wilson
presently got up and passed by Norr1s,
he (Norris) stabbed him with dirk.
This, of course, raised much excitement,
and the crowd rushed to see what was
the matter.
Wilson, notwithstanding he was Sc
verely injured by the stab, succeeded in
selling turpentine dipper which was
lying on the counter, and delivered Wig
orous blow on Norris head, Then a
general free fight ensued. Both Wilson
and Norris had their friends who took
sides. Bland and Hughes, during the
struggle, fought each other with knives,
and each, as have stated, received NOR
tai wounds. Some one in the crowd
ierked the turpentine dipper from Will.
sons hand, and with it felled Norris to
the floor, MASKING his brains out.
Wilson died from the dirk-stab in a
hali-hour. and Norris expired in few
minutes after being knocked down with
the dipper. Norris and Wilson were
both young married men and highly con-
nected. Wilmington w. CO. Cor. Gin

On Tuesday, 9th inst, one of the most
terrific rain storms the writer ever witness
ed burst upon this place. The clouds came
black and threatening from the southwest,
slowly moving up Clark's gulch, and few
minutes before sunset began to discharge
rain and hail with such fearful rapidity that
in less than thirty minutes Clark's gulch
was transformed into a rushing, angry tor
rent. Marshall & Sutton were considerably
damaged in their mining operations here.
Flume boxes were taken up and badly ham
died by the flood, many of them completely
broken up and lost. Johnny Goodwin's
reservoir was completely destroyed, and It
would puzzle a stranger to find the road
amid the broken logs and debris scattered
along down the gulch. II. DKsCoMBEs.
