little TWO yer old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
ueo. W. Pratt, was out on the sidewalk in
front OF the house playing, she met with "A

got angered at some boys, picked up rag
ged rock about the size Of his doubled fists
and threw it at them. The missed escaped
the object for which il was intended
and hit the little girl, striking her with

As is known, Cash Henderson keeps three
slligstors in tank enclosed in plate glass
frame. This oddly constructed aquarium
stands on the sidewalk and thousands have
stopped TO take in the free show. They
are q little upwards of three and one-hali
feet in length each, and voracious. Night
before last it seems that these pets conclud-
Ell that they had attained the proper age
for a jamboree. A policeman was promptly
on hand but could do nothing, and the
moonlight night in that vicinity was rem
dered hideous by the howls and struggles
of these ill-iayored mud-lappers. One of
the brutes would take another in his
mouth about the middle, and go sailing
around the tank mid flashing of tails
and swapping Of jaws, in manner which
was not little exciting. Two OF them
came up smiling next morning for their ra-
tons. with good appetites but somewhat die
figured. One is minus toe and the other
has very sore snoot. One was no. scratch
ed at all, and Cash. after giving the nature
of the brutes few moments investigation,
concluded that the unscathed one was the
cause of the combative demonstration, 30
removed and sold her to the proprietor of
an incipient menagsrie.
