A. HoRR1FyING SIrUATIoN.-A German
butcher named Hans Wigner, becoming IA
tigued, sat down by the roadside near Harri-
son, Ark, and fell asleep. He was suddenly
aroused by clutching of his legs. Looking
down, such a sight met his eyes as would
have made his heart bound with agitation.
Clasping both legs were two rattlesnakes of
the diamond species, coiled and looking him
greedily in the face from both sides. 1t was
moment to try the nerves of the bravest
hero known to history, and Mr. Wigner
trembled from head to foot, but knowing that
his salvation was inaction rather than action,
he dropped back and lay as one dead. How
long he remained in this predicament is hard
to tell, but some time after dark both snakes
slowly uncoiled themselves, and after crawl
ing under his neck and round his head sever
al times, moved quietly away. Wigner made
tracks for the nearest house and fell fainting:
After some little trouble he was revived, but

Washington, May ia gentleman
who has lust returned from Colorado
says there are now waiting on the bor-
ders OF the Ute reservation at least one
thousand wagon loads of emigrants,
who have come thither from Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa and Illinois, expecting to
make homes and put in crops this sum-
mer in the Uncompahgre valley. Many
Of them are already destitute Of provis-
ions, and threatening state of affairs
exists. Not only on this account, but
also by reason Of growing feeling
among the Indians that they have been
cheated, by being brought to Washing
ton to sign an agreement which has not
been ratified.
Senator Hill called on the president
and Secretary Shurtz to-day, and was
assured that the administration is deep
ly impressed with the necessity Of a
speedy action by congress to pass the
pending bill to ratify the Ute agreement.

AS 1t Casts Its Light en- the Chicago
Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Aug. 14.-Cables steady and
for wheat partly better. Our market opened
very strong and kept steady until receipts
were known to be considerably in excess OF
yesterday. This brought great deal of wheat
in the market and in spite of the brokers buy
ing all the time for the boss the overwhelming
quantity thrown in made prices drop mighty
smart, cash and September suffering most, and
naturally enough, as it was receipts that
broke the Market and there are many who
prognosticate large receipts from now on.
Corn opened high. but on account OF large
receipts buying met free sales as we'll as in
sympathy with wheat. Prices dropped and
evsn more 80 in proportion. On call the tone
was slightly better.
My faith in wheat and corn is still unshaken,
and don't take much notice of these occas-
ional raids on the prices, the total result ls
that the market works upwards.
The provision boss is still in wheat, and the
other boss in his own deal, corn, and those two
were never known to play with white chips.
Oats followed suit on the lead in wheat and
corn. It opened high up and under good re-
ceipts, prices declined.
Provisions still asleep, and no sign any
where of anything coming to wake them mp.

yesterday morning. There were 6fty.seven

for the attempt.

The tube was shaken from the rail by the mo-

the reason he came here was because Dunnell

doing the dirty work for Dunnell; that he is
satisfied that Dunnell is defeated, because he
has gone back on the soldiers and the widows.
