Nine Days in a Well.

At Johnstowm, Nebr., week before
last. while John Anderson was at
work digging well the sides caved
in and buried him. For nine days he
was entombed, when he was finally
rescued. Anderson says that when
the boards and sand closed in over
him he was crowded into a box about
two feet square, and without enough
room for him to stand erect. He
could not get on his knees or sit down
but had to stay in crouching posi-
ton during the whole of his imprison-
ment.
About the first three days" said
Anderson, Il got along very well, but
after that | began TO want water
badly The fourth day, when it rained,
l heard what l thought was water
slowly dropping. Feeling around, |
found it, and holding my mouth open,
managed i'll this way to get about a
dozen drops of water which gave Inc
much relief. | had no difficulty in
breathing until the we'll below me
came so near being filled by sand oc-
casionally coming In caused by the
diggers above | had breathed the
air over so much that it had become
impure, causing me to feel smother
ing sensation, but about this time the
rescuers got near enough to me to let
in the air from above. BY having a
good supply of chewing tobacco, | did
not suffer SO much for food as might
have been expected. From the begin
ming | could hear considerable that
was said and done above. | heard
the wagon when ii started to town for
lumber, and heard some one say the
man is dead, and the order given to
try TO pull my box out. When they
began to pull knew there was great
danger of the boards giving way and
crushing me, and for my own safety,
and to give evidence of being alive,
| cut the ropes, and heard the eXcit-
ing talk that prevailed when it was
discovered that | was alive. it was
music to me, and from that time on
/ was hopeful of being rescued. About

ing on my hand, and found il TO be a
fly. l thought by this that an opening

to me. In reaching it to me it became
covered with sand, but no honey

bottle of water and a piece of bread
were given me, and was truly thank
full. From this time on began to
gain strength and by helping my res
cuers, the time passed quicker than
one would suppose. When my feet,
which are badly swollen, are better,

Loads of Patent Medicines.

If General Sheridan drank all the
stuff sent him he would have died
long ago. The mails and the express
have been loaded with miscellane-
Gus collection of patent medicines
nearly every day since the Generals
arrival at NOnquitt, Mass, and enough
has been sent to stock n good-Sized
country drug store The collection
embraces pills, powders, salve, oint-
ment, medicines, tonics, and mineral
water. Old women send herbs and
advice in large chunks The medi-
cines come from all parts of the coun-
try. California is specially well rep
resented, and far oil Texas sends It's
share. while the cranks in the immedi-
ate vicinity are frequently heard from.
Some of the packages are accompa-
MED by letters from the givers stat
ing that the particular nostrum rec
commended saved their lives. Some
come from kind-hearted old women
who actually wish TO do the General
good. Others come from patent med
icine men anxious TO advertise their
wares, but the greater number come
from cranks. Every mail also brings
letters of advice.

Still Braying.

Our gally contemporary. the Charles
town Democrat, has lot of questions
that it submits to Mr.. Charles II.
Knott, candidate for the State Senate
and saws that if Mr.. Knott answers
them to its satisfaction it will support
him and if he does not it will be
against him. We reckon it makes
precious little difference to Mr. Knott
whether the Democrat supports him or
opposes him. He isn't looking around
for that kind of help, for that paper
and its editor are becoming so well
known in this State that the bray OF
the ass will never again be taken for
the roar of the lion.
As to Mr.. Knots course in the
State Senate, he will be answerable TO
his constituents, not to any self-con-
stituted Judge who impudently takes
to himself power of attorney for the
whole people. Mr.. Knott will be
found supporting every bill that he be
lieyes TO be right, but no man will be
allowed to say to him, Promise to
vote for such and such bill or else |
will not support you"
l. We cannot now name any measures
that he may favor, but we feel pretty
sure that there is one scheme that he
will unalterably oppose-and that Is
the debt scheme that Mr.. Mason ana
his Wall street colleagues have been
so long trying to fasten on West VIZ
ginia. Mr. Mason also doubtless sees
that he will have no plant tool in the
person of Mr.. Knott, and he will do
what he can to defeat him.
But as the Democrat and its editor
are not likely to have any more lnilu-
ence in November than they had at
the late primaries and the ensuing
conventions. we think Mr.. Knott need
feel no alarm as to the issue.

An Incident in Western Life.

Seven men lost their lives in an en-
counter between Hugoton and Woods
dale men in Stevens county, Has,
Thursday. Sam Robinson, the city
marshal of Hugoton, and NJ. Cook, of
the same town, went to the Dudley
ranch, near Pony creek, accompanied
by their wives TO look up some cattle
which they were trying 10 buy.
While taking dinner, Deputy Sheriff
Short, "a Woodsdale man, accOmpa-
MED by five other Woodsdale men,
rode up to the party and asked Robin
to surrender as he had a warrant for
his arrest Robinson said he would
go short distance, leaving Cook and
the ladies behind, and then give his
enemies chance to take him. He
did so, and on reaching u convenient
spot both parties opened fire, with
the result that four Woodsdale men
were shot and killed The other two
fled to the strip and Robinson escaped
without q scratch. Cook fastened to
Hugoton and gave the alarm, and
soon an armed party went TO their
assistance. Meeting n lot of Woods
dale men an encounter took place in
which three more persons were killed
and number wounded. John Cross,
sheriff of Stevens county, was one of
the men killed in the second fight.

Love Will Have Its Way.

The elopement of Seventeen-year-Old
James Hudgins with pretty Alice lie
PreuX, n Baltimore belle, has given the
gossips in that city something to talk
about. The parents of both are high
" incensed and threaten to take steps
to annul the marriage. Hudgins
formed the girls acquaintance at Sun
dav school and called at her house.
Owing to his youth nothing was
thought of the visits until recently,
when his attentions became more
marked. Mr.. lie PreuX forbade him
the house, and then the lovers resorted
to clandestine meetings. The other
day the girls father went to New
York and his absence was quickly
taken advantage of. The boy lover
was too young TO get license, so he
impressed friend into service who
obtained the desired document. Armed
with this the pair went to the residence
of the Rev. s. +. ClarksOn, Metho-
dist minister, who kindly united them.
They then proceeded to the home of
the groom, where they met with a
warm reception. The boy husband
carried his point, however, and Sc
cured quarters for himself and bride.
Mrs. HudginS then sent her mother
this note:
My Darling Mother:-I am sorry TO
believe you will be angry, but | am
married to James Hudgins because |
love him.
Mrs lie PreuX was almost overcome
with grief when she read the note,
and at once telegraphed for her hus-
band. She did not wish to call on the
boys mother but later on Mrs. Hudg-
ms, ST., called on Mrs. lie PreuX to
discuss the matter. Both matrOns are
grieved and angry, and await only
the arrival of the senior Mr.. lie PreuX
to take some action.
