The cannibal Is Outrage.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis journal:
Does the depraved average American mind re-
anpe that the public press of this country shall
publish, from Maine to California, colored and
highly exaggerated descriptions of the cannibal-
ism of those poor starved human beings IN the
GFeely expeditions accounts which would do
credit to the Police News for their sensational
and highly interesting blood and thunder, hair,
and raw bones post nartems.
It is just simply shocking! Those poor men
on the verge Of insanity. driven there by starva-
ton and despair, probably did help sustain life a
few days longer by eating the flesh Of their dead
companions. BY doing thus probably the re-
manning six, alive to-day, were enabled to keep
what little spark Of life existed from entirely
dying out. until they were rescued
It did not hurt the dead, but helped the living.

rattlesnake would do If angered and prevented
from escaping. Accordingly they poked the
snake over into the ploughed ground, and then
began teasing it with their long whips Escape
was impossible, and the snake soon became

About two years ago the Central Pacific Rail-

was known to enigrapts who crossed the plains
as The ferty mile desert between the sink of
the Humboldt and the Truekee rivers. The sur

Doctors have treated her by the score, but with
out success Sometimes am almost inclined to
coincide with one of them, who said it would be
better If Maggie were dead
At that moment the girl who had been sitting
quietly and looking not unattractlye, underwent
peculiar spasrn- Her features were for an in

hoarse sound, not unlike the distant baying Of a
dog came from the throat and then her features
relaxed into their natural expression The
spasm and noise had lasted only a few seconds.
