A Horse on a Railroad Trestle.

The freaks of drunken man take turns
that surprise everybody, themselves in
cluded. Thenewspaperschronicle many
of the insane freaks, but none more SEN
sational than the performance of James
Streden, au employe of the Bay View
rolling mills. James had been up at
West Bend attending gathering of
friends, and in driving his one-horse
buggy through this city toward Bay
View switched off from Kinnickinnick
avenue. in the Twelfth ward, and took
the st. Paul railroad track to cross the
Kinnickinnick river on the railroad
bridge. The bridge has for bottom
only ties placed abont twenty-five inches
apart, and the task of walking across on
a dark night like it was is quite tick
lish one, even for a sober man. For
horse, and especially for a horse con-
trolled by drunken driver, the task is
well-nieh impossible. Streden, howev-
er, was not sober enough to take in a
greater fact than that q bridge lay be-
fore him and must be crossed. There
fore, when his horse hesitated for mo-
ment, he applied the whip, and the no
BILE animal commenced his perilous trip
across on the bridge ties. Cautiously
and very slowly the horse felt its way,
step by step, till he had nearly compile
ted one-half the distance across, when
the drunken man became impatient and
struck the animal with his whip. A
false step, a stagger and final plunge
told the story of the horses drop of if
teen feet into the water below. The
wrench and swapping of the harness and
thills threw Streden out, and he, happi-
", followed the horse into the chill wa
tiers of the muddy river. Officer Weis-
ner and Mr.. Davidson heard the double
splash, and ran to the river in time to
see the horse swim out and Chamber up
an incline to the dock, while Streden,
now nearly sober, was making efforts to
keep his head above water. To draw
the man to the shore was but the work
of q moment, when it was found that he
had suffered some scratches and bruises,
but, with the inexplicable luck of a
drunken man, he had no bones broken
and had suffered no internal injury.
The buggy, which remained lodged be-
tween ties on the bridge, was the most
used-up member of the trio, and was re-
moved before the next train was DUE

Why an Amateur Romeo and JUL
ietv Performance Was Cut Short.

The Iona Literary Club, of Union
Hill, N. j., performed "Romeo and
Juliet" recently at Ruth Hall.
The auditorium was filed with spec
tators, who literally applauded the eff
forts of Miss Rose Schmidt as the love-
sick heroine. Mr.. James Houser, who
besides playing the part of Romeo. act
ed as stage manager, secured boy to
hold lamp in the flies to represent the
moon. The boy perched upon step
ladder did not manage the inconstant
moon we'll. He allowed 1t to SWING,
and in an unfortunate moment the
glass chimney dashed against post and
was splintered into thousand pieces.
The absence of the chimney caused
the moon to smoke vigorously and the
scene was spoiled. The prompter call
ed to the moon keeper to hold the moon
steady. 1t was too late. Just as Juliet
stepped out upon the balcony to en-
brace Romeo as he climbed up the ropa
ladder the lamp swung against one OF
the flies and set fire to it. In an instant
a tongue of fame shot out and Juliet
tainted. Somebody cried "Firel" and
the spectators rose to their feet. Romeo
Jumped into the orchestra and left
Juliet to make her way out as best she
could. A rush was made for the door
and all of the spectators got upon the
sidewalk safely. The fire was ex-
tinguished in few minutes. Some OF
the spectators returned, but Juliet
could not be revived sufficiently to con-
tinue the performance.-N.Y Y. World.

That Terrible Child.

A Galveston lady made late after
noon call and had consented to stay to
tea. The biscuits were little heavy,
and the guest, instead of eating them,
showed them slyly into her pocket, but,
when urged to try one more by the lady
of the house, the guest answered:
"They are really delicious, but 1
can't take any more as L ate late din
ner. never relished anything as much
in my life."
."That's so, ma" says little Johnny,
3she likes 'em so much she put
'em in her pocket to take 'em home
and eat EN-"
On another occasion there was gen.
tleman at supper. The biscuits were
really good, and the gentleman ate very
heartily. When urged to take one more,
ne replied:
"No, 1 thank you, I've eaten three al
ready"

ONLY FORTY DAYS GRACE.
Dto Cattle Kings of Indian Territory Muss
More On With Their Bori,,es.


More On With Their Bori',es.
The proclamation OF the president WARN
ing cattlemen and other intruders to leave
Indian territory within forty days, has
produced CONSERVATION that spreads from
Kansas to Washington. The president is
in constant receipt of telegraphic appeals
for the revocation OF the order and protests
against so summary a proceeding. He is
also appealed to personally by influential
lawyers, who have been retained by the
cattlemen mainly because OF their sup
posed influence with the administration.
These efforts are not likely to have any
weight with the administration. The &C.
ton complained OF by the cattlemen was
the result OF deliberate consideration on the
part OF the president and cabinet, and
came to them as an original motion from
Gen. Sheridan.
The cattlemen have no right in the terri
tory, and when they entered upon the lands
they knew the full extent of the risk they
were assuming. When these people APP
plied to Secretary Teller for approval OF
their lease with the Indians the secretary
declined to give them recognition and
warned them that they could remain there
only upon sufferance OF the Indians, ana
that il any question arose between tne III
dams and cattlemen requiring interference
the departments decision would assuredly
be in favor OF the former. With tins
knowledge the cattlemen made leases ano
Scations, believing that any controversy
that might arise would be taken to the
courts when they could with the and OF
money and smart lawyers delay the pro-
ceedings until the expiration OF their leases.
The direct interference OF the president by
n proclamation of summary expulsion sup
ported by q large military force was not
dreamed OF by the cattemen. Senator
Plumb, who is believed to have large inter-
ests in these cattle companies, is here ac-
lively working to obtain a modification OF
the terms OF the proclamation, but it Is not
believed that he will succeed. The circum-
stances under which the president acted
would make it difficult for him to change
his order, even were he SO disposed. With
q threatened Indian outbreak which might
have extended from the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes to other tribes, the president
sent Gen. Sheridan to the scene OF the
threatened strife with instructions to fully
inform himself OF the causes for the troubles
and make such recommendations to the
president as would enable proper action to
be taken by the executive. After full IN
curry General Sheridan recommended DIS
missal OF the Indian agent, the removal OF
The cattlemen within q period OF forty
DAYS, and placing the Cheyennes and Ara
pahoes under the care OF the army with o
competent military officer as agent. In
view of these facts it is not likely that the
proclamation will be modified or with
uramn. nho cattlemen must go.
