A Dog for Snnner.

Once let Cheyenne Indian get hold
of dog for cooking purposes, and he is
fixed for a week. / took a peep into
the lodge of Iron Shirt, and there lay a
fine dog before the Goals, nice and
brown to turn, all ready for supper.
1t is a curious and strange fact that the
North American Indian of all tribes will
turn away from the beef, venlson or
buffalo-hum if he can be sure of get
ting q dog instead; and many of the
tribes raise colonies of dogs for the
same purpose as we do beeves. As
there were no dogs in camp inquired
of Rowland how it happened that Iron
Shirt was so fortunate In securing one.
Rowland questioned that brave on the
subject and learned that party of
English tourists had paid visit to the
camp a few days previous, cut OF curios-
ity, and that the dog was theirs. From
the moment the doomed canine entered
the Indian village Iron Shirt had kept
his covetous eyes glued upon the ami
nal until, watching his chance he Sc
cured the prize and spirited it out of
sight until the Englishmen had taken
their departure. The dog was Cor
don setter and had been brought along
by the tourists for hunting purposes.
Iron Shirt did not consider hisaction in
the case wrong or improper, as stealing
Is looked upon as virtue rather than
crime by all red men, and that is why
the Cheyennes happened to have dog
for supper on this particular evening.

Waterbury, CT, Co New York sunI
A. Is. Wilson, man whose name is
well known throughout both continents,
and who should be to-day one of the
foremost men of the country, the father
OF the great sewing machine industry,
has been wandering about the streets of
this city. 1t was some forty years ago
that, as a poor mechanic, he invented
the famous machine, which now bears
his name all over the world, and which
is manufactured In the mammoth estab-
lishment in Bridgeport run by Nathaniel
Wheeler, and known as the Wheeler &
Wilson Sewing Machine Company.
While the market has been flooded since
Mr.. Wilson's invention with other
makes of machines, the Wheeler and
Wilson still holds its own, but the man
who made this great in lustry is to-day
pitiable object. His residence in this
city on West Side Hill, is a fine one,
with vast extent of land, where he has
Tweed for some time with bis wife and
daughter, women of the most estimable
character, IN whose name the property
stands. 1t has been long time since
MIR. Wilson was capable of caring for
his own property. Dissipation has
ruined him and he has become total
wreck. Nathaniel Wheeler finally
purchased the sole right to the valuable
patent, Mr.. Wilson reinquishing his
share IN what might have made him a
millionaire. For some time his sham
bling figure, clad in rough garments,
sbod with dilapidated shoes, and crowned
with slouched hat, from under which
struggled his grizzled hair, has attracted
much attention on the streets here.
Gradually his condition has grown
worse, until o.day his forbearing fam
lily could put up with it no longer, and
he was removed to the insane asylum in
Hartford, hopeless wreck

According to advices of the 18th, a
most alarming condition of affairs pre-
walls throughout the republic OF Colon

Wanted to Gaze on His Form.


In the past several months the barn
of Henry Lang, adjoining his house,
656 Duncan Park, Chicago, has
been fired several times, and on each
occasion was only prevented from being
destroyed by the prompt and energetic
action of the fire department. Suspi-
cion has always been attached to tramps,
but the discovery of the real perpetrator
has dispelled this suspicion most etfectu-
ally. At late hour Saturday night last
the barn was as usual discovered In
flames. The fire department responded
quickly, and after much labor succeeded
in extiDguishirg the fire. Police Officer
Finn was set to work 10 discover the
criminal, and his first discovery was
womans slipper, and lock OF woman's
hair next. Kittie MalIey, petite dam
sci of 20 years, employed as domestic
in the house, was called out
to give the officer the necessary
pointers as to how the hair and
slipper got in the barn. It was myste-
rionsly ascertained that the hair tailed
with that worn by Miss Kittie; also that
the slipper fitted her pretty foot. She
was questioned, and finally accused of
being the cause of the fires, bnt the as
sertion she Historically denied. She
was taken to the central station, where
she was subjected to some pumping and
then informed By the officer that if she
told the truth regarding the affair she
would be released and Lot prosecuted.
She continued TO deny any knowledge
OF the repeated fires, but fear finally
compelled her to desist, aud che con-
fessed that she was the author Of all the
fires. She finally told her story. She
had lover who was attached 10 Engine
Company No. !, stationed only a few
blocks away from where she was en-
uloved. On account Of business he was
unable TO be daily at her side. She wes
then a love sick maiden and could not
bear his prolonged absence. To OBJ
viate this difficulty and see him oftener
she had conceived and carried out the
plan of setting the barn on fire, hoping
to catch a glimpse Of his manly form as
he rushed through the flames TO carry
/ out a stove. Saturday night was her
/ last escapade in this direction, and 1t
/ resulted in her capture. The confession

Tragic Termination of Dance at
Ellis Prairie. Texas.
News was received on the 18th, from
Ellis Prairie, Tex, of the killing of
George Stevens, noted character of
that portion of Texas. A farmer named
Shepherd gave dance, which Stevens
invited himself to attend. Matters not
progressing to suit him, Stevens drew a
six-shooter, and, declaring that he would
make things interesting, opened fire on
the dancers, who precipitately fed. The
room being cleared of all but Stevens,
Farmer Shepherd quickly extinguished
the lights and combat in the dark was
begun. Stevens became alarmed and
fired wildly at his antagonist, who from
the flash of Stevens pistol was able to
ascertain his exact location in the dark
in the room and poured both barrels
of buckshot into Stevens breast, killing
him instantly.
