Last week Governor Isaac p Gray
and staff attended the encampment
at Evansville, Ind. They were met
by q committee and q band from
Evansville. When their train
reached Purcell's Station they had
to meet another train. While waiting
on the side-track q number of gentle
men on board got out and helped
themselves to watermelons that grew
in a field near by. John Setter, the
owner of the field, saw them in the act.
He dashed angrily into the a and
grabbed q piece of melon from the
Governors hand and threw it out OF
the window. As he withdrew some
one said: That's Governor Gray
Turning round Mr.. Setter said:
Governor Gray, you may think me
a little hasty but I'll give you to I'M
derstand that I raised those melons
by hard work while you were taking
your ease. and I don't propose to let
you and your men carry of all the
melons in the field"
As he left the train he met others
coming in with more melons, and a
lively struggle for possession of the
melons ensued, in which Setter was
gashed across the hand with q knife.
Governor Gray wanted to pay for
the melons but the farmer refused
the money. As the train moved
away the Governor tossed q handful
of coins to him. Philadelphia

II all reports are true, Captain
Kennedy, the editor and proprietor
of the Denver Afternoon. has at last
fallen into the ownership of q big
mine. The story. as the Captain
tells it. reads like q romance.
More than 20 years ago be was on q
pleasure jaunt through the very
widest part Of Northwestern New
Mexico. One day while out with
his gun he struck an outcrop which
had, IS he thought, a very peculiar
formation. A small portion Of it
was broken off and put into his
game-bag and there il remained
until two months later, when he
found himself in st. Louis and in
company with a friend who is q well
known metallurgist. The speci-
men was then carefully examined
and later on sssayed. The button
was a surprise, and the very mex.
day the Captain started for New
Mexico. After d long and fruitless
search he returned. The lead, il
seemed, had been swallowed up,
for not the slightest trace Of il
could he find.
Years went by and the search was
again renewed, but with no better
success. Then it was that an old
friend came to the Captain, q mar
who had spent his entire life in the
Territory of New Mexico, and told
him of some wonderful blossom roch
he had found in a certain locality
but said that he did not have
sufficient money to develop it. The
Captain thought he understood the
situation. His old lead had onct
more been found. Naturally thu
cash to develop it was at once forth
coming. Results obtained so faI
have been most satisfactory, mil
runs on small quantities of ore hav.
ing given returns that would Sc
ordinary men wild. 1t is under
stood that development work on the
property is now being pushed
rapidly, and Captain Kennedy il
convinced that he is a half owner il
another Comstock. The exact To-
cation of the mine is something of
secret, although it is known 10 be il

A Dead Man Found Through a
Dream


In the terrible wreck at Hurri-
cane Bayou. on the Mobile and
Birmingham road, last June, when
several men were killed, two young
men riding on the bsggage-car
platform were instantly killed, one
of them being mashed fiat in the
wreck. The young men were not
identified until to-day, when Mrs.
John L.. Divine and Mrs. III. Morris
of New Orleans visited the potter's
field and had tue bodies disinterred.
Mrs. Divine recognized her brother,
John Murphy. The tracing was
materially assisted by a dream Mrs.
Divine had months ago, wherein she
saw the undertaking establishment
wherein the body of her son lay
after the accident. She saw in o
coffin her son with his head mashed
fiat. This led her to believe that he
had met death by accident, and she
instituted inquiries concerning all
unknown parties who had SO died.
She was led to Mobile, where she
recognized the undertaking establish
ment of the City Sexton as soon as
she entered it. The body Of her SOD
lay in the coffin just as she says she
saw il in her dream.-Mobile special

Lady de Grey and "a Jersey LILY.
When Mrs. Langtry was in Paris
recently the presence also one of
England's most famous beauties,
Lady de Grey. formerly Lady
Lonsdale, gave rise to little
comparison between them. The
Parisians seem to think that Mrs.
Lantry was not SO beautiful as when
she was a trife more slight, and
they we're inclined to give the apple
to Lady de Grey. The probability is
though, that with the world for
