They Make n Terocious Assault on Earm
Hand, who Finally Dispatches Thcm
with n Club.
ANDERSON, IND, Dec. 8.-Last evening
John Martin, farm hand, residing In the
extreme northern part OF the county, hau
n terrific tussle with pair Of wildcats. lt
was in the dusk Of the evening, and martin
was passing through narrow strip Oh
timber. He was walking slowly along the
highway, when all of sudden ne was
startled by shrill scream, and cata-
mount sprang from low clump oil bushes
into the middle of the road in front OF him.
The animal was unusually large ana
ferocious. Martin saw at once that
there was to be fight to fnish'
and there was mortal dread as
TO what the result might be. There was
no time to be lost, for the catwas there FOR
business. She sprang at the mans throat
but received whack with his walking
stick which laid her on her back. Just at
this juncture the male cat appeared on the
scene. Before Martin could recover MS
guard the male caught him by the shoul-
der as it leaped and raked him, tearing
section of his coat and about six inches OF
skin and flesh into ribbons. Fortunately
the cat missed its calculations as the man
swung about with the weight of his blow
upon the first one. AS it was the wound
was very painful. BY this time the male
had got on it's feet again, and both cats
prepared 20 spring at once. Martin, see-
ing that the affair was getting SER
ious, backed up against tree and
awaited their onslaught He didn't
have long to wait, as the male
snarling with rage, made a leap ut his
throat, while the female crept to one side,
as IL to flank him. This fact saved tho
man, as 1t gave him time to relieve the big
eest one, which he skillfully did by jump
ing to the right and striking it as it struck
the tree where he had just stood. Inc
blow knocked it senseless. The female
made a flying leap, but another quick
movement allowed her to strike the base OF
the tree, where the man had stood, He
gave it one hard blow on the side but
slipped and fell, when the cat buried her
teeth and claws in his legs. 1t was
now rolling, tumbling fight for
very brief period, but the mans good
luck did not desert him, rs he was fortun-
ate enough to hit the animal on the back,
| breaking its spine. As soon as he could
| free himself from her embrace he ran to
| the male, which was just getting on its
feet, and hit it two or three terrible blows,
| which killed it. Both cats were now dead,
| but the man was so badly torn and
! exhausted that he had great difficulty in
making his way to the residence OF the
nearest neighbor, where he was put to bed.
He is still laid up from the effects of his
injuries, and is likely to be for some timc

MINT MONEY FOUND,
Wrapped in an Old Quilt and Hid
in a Trunk.
Fourteen Hundred Dollars OF MISSING
Government Funds Traced 10
Their Hiding Place.

NASHVILLE TENN, Dec. T.-Several
weeks ago a heavy shipment OF silver was
made from the New Orleans Mint to the
TREASURY Department at Washington.
When the boxes were opened by the Treas
urv officials il was discovered that 400
silver dollars had been distracted and
hoos of shot substituted. The robbery
was communicated to the authorities OF
the mint and the Southern Express COM
pany, and Mr.. II. G. Fisher, superintend-
ent of the latter, began careful e1amina-
tion at New Orleans on tho l2th Oh NO
yember. He traced the silver from
the mint to the time it was placed
on the train at New Orleans. His Ia
bors have been crowned with success, the
robber having been discovered and the
missing money found in trunk which
had been checked to Bowling Green, Ky.
When Mr.. Fisher entered upon the investi-
cation he had forwarded to him the bags
of shot that had been placed in the box.
He went through tho shot and found an
advertisement showing that the shot hau
been made in October by latham Bros, OF
New York. Correspondence with latham
Bros. developed the fact that they had
1nnue only tWO suipiioh'o Va
TO the South. With this clew Mr.
Fisher clearly ascertained who OBJ
tained the shot The evidence was SO
conclusive that the robber, knowing
his guilt would shortly be fully estab-
lished, wrote Mr.. Fisher, and, inclosing the
check for the trunk, told him that If he
would take the check to Bowling Green,
get the trunk and open it he would discov'
er the missing money. Mr.. Fisher met the
man, who made full confession. The
trunk, which was lying in the railroad Of
flee at Bowling Green, was examined, anc
wrapped up in bed-quilt was found the
fourteen hundred silver dollars. Mr.. Fish
er, in declining to give the name OF the
guilty man, said he was not actuatet
by desire to save the reputation OF thu
individual in question, but did not wish Il
blast the lives Of innocent women ant
children. The robber, he said had com
mitted the theft nnder circumstances tina
would excite the sympathy of stole, ant
had already suffered as much as If he hat
been consigned to his prison and his nam
given to the world. Mr.. Fisher telegraphe'
to Mr.. Montague, the Superintendent
the Mint, that the money had been recov
cred, and said that no person connected
with the Mint was in any way concerned
in the robbery.

manufactured by the Pittsburgh Steel
Company was tested this afternoon and
proved miserable failure. The gun was
charged with thirty six pounds Of powder.

gun was charged with forty-eight pounds
of powder. When it was touched off a
shower-bath of mud, boards, beams and
huge pieces of steel were scattered in
every direction. The whole bomb-proof
structure in which the gun was confined
