said a drummer to Boston Globe re-

The reporter thought he had seen some
thing Of the sort.
"Well," continued the drummer, "yOu

The Woman Who Breaks Horses in

increased each time he saw the phenome-

asked the lady when the questions be-
came a little pointed. 49," she con-
tinued, ~ wish could get to the city.
am sure i could surprise the city folks"
and the modern wonder jumped lightly
on the back OF a 16-hand horse, and with
only whip in her hand guided the animal
whlthersoever she wanted.
There, what do you think of that?"
she inquired, as she gracefully rolled off
the horse's back. "You know | have
heap to contend against" and the equine
lady lowered her voice into whisper.
1.-The men are all jealous of me; yes, and
though the brutes are Jealous they have TO

great horse-breakers that have visited
this country. No. L don't give away my
secret in breaking in horses. They have
tried to steal it from me, but am too sly
for that. Wait till / get to San Fran
cisco, and then l shall be known all over
the world"
The last seen of this eccentric female
was her attempting to noun: huge,
stout stallion Darebacked, while her hus-
band and one or two of her stable help
stood well out OF the range OF the skittish
creatures heels. Notwithstanding the
fact that cowboys are QuiXotic in their
devotion for the fair sex, this woman
filled them with the most sovereign con-
tempt ana disgust, and when she visited
this rancho in search of work the men
showed their dislike for her and her man
ners so plainly that they refused TO talk
to her and even to sit at the table with
her. "HOrse breaking" they said, twas
all we'll and good fer men, but when 1t is
followed by a woman the woman and not
the profession ought to be desplsed."

reporter Of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
the other day. One night, John l.. Sulli-
van, with Pete Mccoy and few of his
other sporting friends, came in and want
ed something to drink. 1t was after u
O'Clock, and the bar was closed, but the
head barkeeper happened to be near the
desk, and knowing Sullivan be opened
the doors and the party went it.
They sat at a table for some time
and drank couple of bottles
of wine. They bad evidently had
some before coming to the hotel, and they
felt the effects OF il pretty strongly. AS
they sat there, dispute arose about
some point or other, which did not I'M
derstand, and sullivan finally wanted to
bet 500 that he was right. ooh, come
of" said Mccoy, ''yOu haven't got $l00."

voice, as he rose from the table. "Tll
show you I've got money. see nere," and
quick as a wink ne drew a magnificent
gold watch from his vest pocket, released
IL from the guard and threw 1t with his
whole strength against the partition
which separated the wine room from the

That was sample Of the reckless
and foolish displays which he frequently
made in those DAYS. But it is not only

such things. ] have seen exhibitions

They sat at table IN front OF the bar,
and after the bottle had been emptied, the
Young man deliberately picked II up ana
sent it crashing through magnificent
French mirror, which filed the whole
wall back of the bar. Then he drew
check book from bis pocket, signed
blank, and before the proprietor had time
to show anger, asked him how much he
should I'LL it out for. That break cost him
$1,000.

sent to the taxidermist, Charles
Dury. with the request that he make a

sition that she had been poisoned. The
following morning employees OF the garden
transferred the remains to the taXlder-

thing be took cogniZance OF was the fact
that the thigh bone OF the left leg was
frighttully shattered. This ne thought
strange, but not more so than that all the
bones had an undue proportion OF lime in
their composition. On opening the body
the mystery OF the broken limb
AZ once made plain. Therein he
found an egg OF enormous proportions. In
its longest diameter IL measured fifteen
inches, While the shortest diameter was

A MRS. ENoCH ARDEN.
A Former Chattanooga Man Unin-
tentionaIly Bigamist.

tentionailY Bigamist.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Aug. 10.-A
romance almost without parallel came to
light in this city to-day, and so intricately
is the plot inter woven that it would make
truth appear stranger than fiction. Thirty
years ago there resided near this city
then a struggling village, James Starns, a
sturdy young farmer, with a wife and
two little boys. In 1854, Starns concluded
to try his fortune In the West, and went
to California, a month later. having
found a pleasant SETTLEMENT, he sent his
wife money with which'to join him. Mrs.
Starns wrote, saying, she would start in
tive months, but at the end Of that time
she had received no reply. Starns wrote
letter after letter to his wife and relatives,
and she wrote to him, hit neither ever re-
celyed a word OF the other.
Ten years afterwards Starns sent his
wife $500 but the money went back to him
as no one called for it. BY this time both
the husband and wife each supposed the
other dead. MIR. Starns went to Michigan
and from thence to Wisconsin, where elk
years ago ne married the daughter of a
wealthy farmer. BY some strange fate
he drifted to Chattanooga last week. Not
even the Oldest inhRbitant remembered
him and he could find no trace Of his folks.
To-day he learned that family named
Starns resided near the city aud procur-
ing a carriage, took his wife to ascertain
whether or not they were his relatives.
Arriving at the house Starns was horrifed
to find that the aged white haired ladv
who received him was no other than his
first wife and he realized the fact that he
had two wives. An explanation followed
and the wives were introduced but each
exhibited a marked GOODNESS. The parties
refuse to talk and it is not known what
they will do.

Accident on Lookout Mountain.
From the Chattanooga Times


From the Chattanooga Times.
Lee DenneauX, a bright lad of 10 years
of age and who is we'll known in the city,
met with a probably fatal accident on
Lookout Mountain late Monday after
noon. A delivery wagon started down
the st. Elmo pike and young Denneaux
jumped in to ride as far as the bridge
across the deep gorge. When the wagon
reached the bridge the little fellow, in at
tempting to alight, fell over the side OF
the wagon and was caught between the
railing and the wheels. He struggled
manfully to save himself, but the next
revolution of the wheel threw him over
the bridge In the gorge. He fell on pile
Of sharp rocks with such force that the
driver supposed he was killed. Assist
ance was hurriedly summoned and Young
Denneaux was removed TO his home.
