A FALL OVER a PREcIPICE.
Wandering Among Cliffs and
Crags. a Woman sadly Ends
Her JOurneyiDg.

heauNillo NuIVhlclts
A thrilling misadventure isreported
from the Royal George, in which Mrs.
George N. Udell, wife Of the city edi.
tor OF the Canon City Reporter, was
the victim. II was on Sunday last
that the lady, in company with a
number of friends, started out for a
ramble among the cliffs and orags OF
the mountains. In some manner or
another she became separated from
her companions, and in the wilderness
alone she lost all presence of her
whereabouts. Wandering onward,
and shouting at the top Of her voicein
an effort to secure relief, she became
suddenly entangled in a most critical
predicament. She made a desperate
effort to extricate herself, while, on
the other hand, her friends, alarmed
at her absence, started in every diree-
ton in an effort to rescue her.
ALI night long they searched the
mountains, and worn out and tired at
days dawn they were relieved by new
parties, Their efforts were Of no avail,
however, and it was late at night when,
iootSsore and weary, they were sum
moned back into Canon by a telegram
that had been received announcing the
fact that seriously mangled and I'M
known lady had been picked up by the
afternoon train from her position on
the crack She was taken to Salida in
an unconscious condition, and, upon
institutions from her husband at Canon,
was returned to that place under the
care Of a surgeon. Upon examination
it was found that she had fallen over a
steep and rugged preoipiee some forty
feet into the bed Of the Arkansas, and
that she had been horribly mangled.
The adventure is certainly one Of
the most thrilling Of any of the noun
tains, and the escape from instant
death was simply marvellous.

AbductOrs Make n Mistake and
Carry Away the Servant In
stead of the Mistress.
Cleveland (O.) Special.

A most dastardly attempt was made
at this place Wednesday night to alb.
duct prominent young lady from her
home at Belpre, Ohio, but the scheme
fortunately failed through a mistake
Of the abductOrs. About 8 o'clock a
stranger knocked at the door Of the
residence Of Mr.. Parker Lewis, a
prominent and wealthy citizen of the
place. A servant girl answered the
knock and was told by the
stranger that a Miss Hunter
was waiting in buggy in the street
to see her. The servant girl started
with the stranger, and when a few
feet from the house he threw herapron
over her face, and, taking her up in
his arms, conveyed her tothe carriage,
In which there was another man, and
they then drove rapidly away. When
about two miles from town one Of the
men asked the girl if her name was
Lille Lewis, q daughter Of Parker
Lewis, but on her telling them she
was not, threw her out of the buggy
and made their escape. She was
picked up in an unconscious condition
by farmer, who took her to his own
home. The abduotors were afterMiss
Lewis, and she was only saved by the
mistake Of the abductors. They would
probably have wanted a ransom from
Lewis.

Some days since some Of the news

son Of Carl Pruefer. aged nine years
said 10 have been bitten BY dog
about TWO months before, became
sick, had spasms. was at times violent,
loaned at the mouth. aud bArked like
a dog. A doctor was called in, who
pronounced the case hydrophobia, and
as II was generally believed TO be such,
much excitement arose in the neigh
bOrhood. The younger children Of
the family also became III and showed
symptoms similar to those men,
toned. All the cases yielded
TO treatment, however, and the
condition Of the children has since
improved, Yesterday DR.. Meisbefger,
who bad formerly been the family's
physician, but had not attended the
children on this occasion, was called,
and after careful examination con-
cluded that the cases were not hydro-
phobia at all.
DR., Meisberger made the following
statement 10 the reporter to day: II
found the Oldest boy sitting on bench.
In few minutes he shut his eyes and
slid of the bench to the floor and began
crawling around on al fours, going at
a rapid rate. He went to the pantry
door and, | understand, wanted
some eggs, having been fed upon them
for some time back. After awhile he
became exhausted and made noise
something like the barking Of a
dog. When he stopped l took him on
my lap, petted him awhile, and told
him to quit his actions or | would give
him hard whipping. | finally gave
him ten cents and said if be would be-
have himself he could have more.
When he thought he was not watched |
he slyly looked at the money. After
carefully noting bis actioas came to
the conclusion that the case was one
OF stimulation originating in st. Vitus'
dance. The neighbors had talked the
matter into the child's head by their
remarks, and he had quietly taken ad-
vantage Of it. That my theory was
correct is proved by the fact that
when | called there this morning all |
the children we're behaving themselves
perfectly we'll, and had not shown any
signs of hydrophobia since my first

A Dangerous Tramp Calls III
Mrs. A. Il. Stewards.


New York Special.
A tramp called at Mrs. A T. Stew
arts, 10 Fifth avanue, to day, to see
what she was going to give him for
Chrlstmas. He thought that she
might give him a brown stone house
or 4 bank or a farm. He was stopped
at the gate by Mrs. Stewards private
Waterman. Mr.. Gardner. The tramp,
upon being refused admission to the
premises, gave the object Of his visit
by asking for work. lie was told that
there was nothing to do. He fingered,
as If reluctant 10 60 away.
The watchman asked him what he
wanted, and the tramp replied in a
husky voice, and with sinister look.
81 want you. | am going 10 shoot
you" The Waterman was astonished.
Before he had time to protect himself
the tramp raised a pistol and fred.
The bullet struck the Waterman in
the abdomen. Its force was spent in
penetrating his heavy overcoat and
undercoat. The wound was slight.
The tramp was on the point Of firing
second shot when the watchman
jumped forward, seized him and wip-
ed the snow of the pavement with
him. The tramp was then taken to
the station, house, where he was
searched. A pooketful Of cartridges Of
large caliber were found upon him.
In the afternoon the militant tramp
was marched into the Jefferson mark
ct Police Court, which committed
him for trial. Waterman Gardner
had a narrow escape. The wound
might have been fatal but for the arr
NOR of heavy overcoat and carGi-
gan jacket, which he had on at the
time of the affair. The policemen
say the prisoner was the worst tramp
they had ever seen.
