The Terrible Experience of IL Young Cali
fOrnia Scout.

\ sick and sorry looking specimen of
humanity stepped from the passenger
train last night and climbed into wait
ing wagon and was driven to the coun-
try. His name was Samuel Neff. He
is a man OF about thirty years Of age
and his parents reside in Pine Greek.
Young Nctf is just home from Arizona.
where he has been prospecting IN the
mines and acting as scout on the hunt
for Indians. Unfortunately for him he
found the murdcrous red devils, and
they almost made 'mince-meat of him.
One day while riding through canon
he was shot through the shoulder and
fell from his horse. Ills assailants,
finding that he was not dead, tortured
him outrageously. They cut gashes
IN his face and all over his body, and
applied fire to his feet and hands and
ended their brutal assaults by scalping
HIM. lie suffered untold agonies and
prayed that death might relieve him.
Finally he fell into,a faint, and upon
awakening he found himself being kind
" treated in q miners cabin. The
miner had picked him up and carried
him a long distance Oh horseback. Nctl
suffered weeks of eXcruciating pain and
rayed with a fever, and as soon as he
was able to travel he took the road for
home.
Last evening a Chronicle reporter ask
ed Nett how it felt to have his hair lift
ed.
1T is a dreadful sensation" he said.
Zone thinks, as the skin is being torn
from the skull, that his feet are coming
right up through his body to the top OF
his head. Oh, it is terrible. 1t is SO
painful that you cannot utter Il cry and
thousands Of stars dance before your
eyes. You imagine rcd hot needles are
darting in and out of your flesh and YOU
clasp your hands so closely that the
finger nails cut INTO the flesh. l would
rather be run through a thrashing ma
chine, ground up in sausage mill or
thrown under a locomotive than to ever
undergo such another ordeal. 1t makes
me shudder to think Of the fortunes l
have gone through with and I never
want to look upon the face Of another
Indian"
DO many persons survive the opera
ton :" interrupted the reporter.
mo, l have only heard of two or
three men besides my y who have lost
their hair by the scalThg-knifc and then
lived to tell oft"
''NIr. NcG, do you think the hair will
ever grow out again:'
''Oh, no; l shall always have bald
spot up there. The skin was torn off
for q space of four inches square, and
Pm afraid it will never heal again.
Tvcn il Il docs iGal5oyor the here PLACE
will always be so painful that 1 cannot
touch it. l keep my head tied mp in
cotton and sweet oil. You can see that
my beauty has been considerably
marred. These frightfrl gashes across
my face will 60 with me to the
grave" ."-California Chronicle.

Triplets Twice in About Il Year.

A little more than year ago we re-
corded the fact that Mrs. George Poore
of West Newbury, gave birth to triplets,
two boys and a girl. The girl lived but
short time afer birth, and the boys
grew healthy and strong and are alive
and we'll to-day. Now we have the
pleasure of recording an exact repetition
of the circumstance. This week triplets
were again born to them, two boys and
a girl. The Girl breathcd q short time

Territory Recovered.

We are reliably informed that, by the
recent survey Of the State line. made by
Il commissioner and surveyor appointed
by the Legislature Of North Carolina,
two thousand acres of land heretofore
considered Il part OF North Carolina
really belongs to South Carolina. This
survey givcs'to South Carolina the fol-
loving prominent landowners; J. NJ.

The most OF the territory is valuable
farming lands and will add greatly to
tho panhandle Of our county. Some
suppose that the carl ly settlers OF North
Carolina crowded the Indians down and
took possession. At any rate the State
should look after her rights. 1t may

who was recently deposed from the Ba-
varlan throne. committed suicide at 4
O'Clock yesterday evening. He had
gone out for promenade in the Park Of
Berg Castle: accompanied BY DR. Gud-
den, his physician. The King suddenly
threw himself into Starmbcrg Lake and
was drowning. The physiclad jumped
into the water to rescue the King. and
was also drowned. The Medical Com
mission, which examined the late King
Ludwig, report that he had ordered the
members of the ministerial deputation,
headed by Count Holstem, who called
upon him to procure his consent to re-
ycncy, to be tlogged until they bled and
then to have their eyes extracted. Be-
fore his death the belief was spreading
among the common people of Bavaria
that the Kings deposition was illegal.
The people did not believe he was insane.
Precautions had been taken to prevent
the populace from rising to restore the
King. There is evidence that n violent
struggle occurred in the lake between
the King and DR.. Gudden, III the cndcav-
or of the latter to rescue his patient.
Many. footprints can be seen i'll the soil
ut the bottom Of the Lake near where
the bodies were found, and there are
several brusics on DR.. Gudden's face,
which were probably made by the Kings
finger nails. The marks consist Of two
large and two small scratches on the
right side Of the nose and forehead.
These signs show beyond Il doubt that
struggle took place.

The objections urged against Mr..
Morrison's tariff bill in the United
States seem to be sectional complaints
rather than objections to the tariff
principle contained therein Louisiana,
for example, objects to the duty on
sugar being reduced; Alabama, Geor-
gia and Tennessee will vote against the
bill unless "some of its provisions re-
lating to iron ore, coal, and cotton
goods are eliminated; 8" objections are
also made by four states to a reduction
OF the duty on rice; and the Demo
Gratis of North Carolina and Tennessee
are quite angry because the bill does
not reduce internal taxes So goes

loving public. He can chew up glass
and swallow it. There is no mistake
about it. He chews up the glass and
drops it down his throat into his Bes-
semer steel-lined stomach. 1t is even
asserted that if he is shaken, the glass
can be heard to jingle on the inside,
but this may have been something else.
Ordinarily when broken glass is taken
into the system as tonic, instead of
harmonizing and getting along peace
ably with the gastric juices, it causes
trouble. The man who eats broken
glass in the interest of science assumes
pensive expression, then an express
sion OF sadness steals over his face, and
he suddenly bounds in the air, and
having toyed with the milky way with
his feet, he comes down hard and ex-
pires in futile attempt to tie his legs
in bow-knot around his neck.
Jones, the colored Texas freak, omits
this part of the performance entirely.

slonate yearning for broken bottles, as
a regular article of diet, apparently
without any bad effect on his inner
structure. After he has chewed up a

indeed freak of which the Lone Star
