get the animals out, but dispute about
the fees ensued. The pound master
wanted 81 50, but Dowdall said he only
had two dollar bill, which he gave 10
him, and said he would pay him the rest
some other time This did not suit
Malice, who refused to let Dowdall take
his property out until he received the
full price. This so incensed Dowdall
that he "sailed' into the pound master,
who being an old man, he easily van
quished, and then took his horses home
Dowdall gained his point, but the friends
of Malice threaten to make him auffer for
the unjust act.

BAD RUNAWAY.

This afternoon shortly before O'Clock
the delivery horse Of Kohn & Adler the
wholesale liquor dealers on First avenue,
ran away and injured itself badly The
horse was standing in the alley, and the
driver was loading the wagon with goods
when the animal, without any warning
started on run down the alley towards
Eighteenth street. The frightened ami
NAL crossed Eighteenth street, and ran
directly into NJ Corcorsu's blacksmith
shop, the wagon striking the side of the
door, and throwing the animal down
The harness was lOosened. and the horse
lay where it fell, apparently unable to get
up. 1t was the opinion of those present,
that the animal had strained itself badly
across the back. The horse was quite
valuable, the owners having been offered
$500 for 1t few days ago.

The queerest of trees must be the
baobab, or monkey head. 1t grows to
the height OF 40 feet, but its girth is
entirely ont of proportion to its height,
some trees being 80 feet in diameter
An old baobab in Africa is then, more
like forest than a single tree Their
age is incalculable, Humboldt considers
them as 'the oldest living organic monu-
ments of our planet" Some trees are
believed to be 5000 years old. You can
cut good sized room into the trunk of a
baobab, with comfortable accommoda-
tions for 80 men. and the tree lives on
and tiourishes. 1t produces fruit about
foot long, which is edible. As an
example Of slow growth in England, a
baobab at Kew, though more than 50
years, old has only attained a height of
4! feet. A kindred species to the African
baobab grows in Australia They have
been measured, being 30 feet high, with
gIrth of IS feet

He clerk ed for Cooper, his nameis John
G. w. Herlocker, and he was arrested
last week for the embezzlement of monies
belonging to his employer to an unknown
amount, there being evidence against
him of thirteen separate and distinct
robberies. He gave bond in the sum Of
$500 with Judge Wilmington Loucks as
security for his appearance before Magis-

pulled up stakes, and made tracks. He
had vamooSed the rancho. He had jump

packed his tent like the Arab and silently
stolen away. He has shaken the dust of
the city from his feet, and was a pilgrim
and a stranger in other parts. The PEG

no longer. He went not like the galley
slave whipped and scourged to his dun
geon at the dark hour of midnight Nay
verify He boarded west-bound Wabash
train Tuesday morning in broad day light,
and reclined on red velvet cushions as the
iron horse swiftly and surely drew him
further and further from the scenes of
his religious devoti0ns and secular pur.

unless some fair maiden ruefully gazes
upon little faded flower, only pansy
blossom, bringing her back to June time
when John G. ". whispered in her ear
words sweet for her to hear, and asked
her to treasure the dainty tioweret as a
pulsation Of his throbbing heart And
John was gone, and Judge Loucks, the
security on his bond, the same being
declared forfeited, was caught for the sum
of $500, al! because this model youth,
after robbing his employer, did not have
sand enough to stay and stand the racket,
when friend in need had obligated him
self to keep him temporarily out of jail.
