a Torrlble Scene.

John Wallace recently had terrible
experience in Marion, Indiana. He haG
gone into Warmers barber shop to be
shaved. Mr.. Warner, being ill, had, q day
or two before, hired a genteel looking man
representing himself to be first class
barber from Wayne county, to
work for hlm a few days. The fellow
conducted himself all right until Saturday
when he began to drink quite freely, be
secured some alcohol used in the shop aud
drank 1t raw. Dir. Jesse IJams. who occu.
pied the chair just before MIR. Wallace,
noticed something very peculiar in the
mans actions, especially when he refused
to give the change back from bill handed
him by Ijams. Wallace got into the chair,
and the fellow, aftcr'lathcring his face aud
getting everything ready for operation,
opened his razor. grasped Mr.. Wallace by
the throat, and exclaimed: "I am going
to cut your throat" Looking up, Mr..
Wallace saw that the barber was foamlng
at the mouth and al insane glare was il,
his eyes. SO startled was Mr.. Wallace for
The mauiac gave vent to blood c,lrdling

your throat and then slit you open down
the stomach and let your bowels out. Oh,

you; but don't care They Will hang
me- am not afraid of death; you arc. {"
All the while the mailman was flourish
ing his razor in close proximity to his
victims throat, and occasionally drawing
back as if to strike. AS soon as he
partially recovered from the first paralysis
of his fright, Wallace kept his eye steadily
upon his prosecutor, and finally, taking
advantage of an instant when his grip was
looscncd on his throat, managed to twist
quickly around and slide out of the chair
and run for the door, but the barber was
too quick for him and got there first
Then, with one hand on the door.knob and
a razor in the other, he stood and hcapcd
The most horrible imprccations upon
Wallacc's head because he had attempted
to escape. Wallace offered the barber Il
cigar which he had III his pocket.
"What do you want Inc to do with the
cigar2" said the barber.
"Why, smeke |" said Mr.. Wallace.
AS the mailman reached for the cigar
Wallace sprang upon him and threw him
down, then turned and ran, the negro after
him with the razor in his hand Wallace
got away safely, finally, aud the barber
ran after a little boy, swearing he would
kill him. A butcher saw the negro and
pursued him, ovcrlalling him Just before
he reached the boy. The butcher over
