CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.

From the Leadyille Chronicle.
Henry Sullivan lives, as many other
miners do, entirely alone, in a little
log cabin at the head of Buckeye
gulch. Among the tools and articles
in his humble place of abode was a
large steel trap, such as is used in
catching bears and heavy game. It's
shape when open was oval, but when
the spring was touched two sets of
cruel teeth sprang together, closing
on whatever happened to be in range,
be it man or beast. The trap had
not been used for a long time and
stood open in corner of the place.
Yesterday morning it occurred to Sui
Ivan that the trap might do some
damage in that condition and accord
ingly he pulled it out to the middle
of the floor to close it up. In its
long period of disuse the springs had
become rusty and the working por-
tions of it stuck together, refusing to
operate. Sullivan labored with it for
quite a time, and then becoming an
gry picked up hatchet and began to
hammer at it. Still the jaws refused
to shut, and without thinking of the
consequences he thrust his foot
against the lever and struck it again
AT that instant there was a clash,
and the teeth sprang shut, pinning
him Just above the ankle. The
springs were of the most powerful
make, and there was no unloosing
them when they had once caught
Sullivan, in his agony, felt his very
bones crack under the vice-like grip.
and half tainted as he sank to the
floor. Then, nerving himself for
a desperate effort, he wrenched at
the stout iron with both hands, but
without loosening it the fraction
of All inch. Half an hour of pain
and t,2rror followed, and a new idea
occurred to him. The trap was
fastened at the base with heavy
screws. bolted at either side. A
wrench lay within reach, and grasrr-
ing it with the strength of despera-
ton he succeeded at last in unfasten-
ing the bolts. The steel bars drop
ped apart and he was free
1t is needless to enlarge upon his
journey of mile and half up the
guich to the nearest house and how
he was finally carried to this city.
His injuries are of such a nature that
he may possibly yet suffer the ampu-
tatinn of his foot.
