From the Rockies comes story
that three vultures attacked an eagle
in his nest on mountain peak the
other day. Although attacked from
three points, the king of birds gal
lantly held his own and slew two OF
the vultures. The manner in which
the eagle did this was peculiar. Sim
Cling out one of the attacking birds
it grasped it tightly about the neck,
buryirlg it's talons deeply in the flesh,
and, then, rising almost perpendicu-
larly for about one hundred feet, al
lowed it's prisoner to drop in stunned
condition on the rocks below. Two
falls served to kill the first victim, but
three were required to knock out the
second. The survivor, seeing the fate
which had befallen its companions,
turned tail and started rapidly down
the mountain side. uttering shrill cries
as 1t few.

SIZE WON HER WAGER.
An Athletic Young Lady Does
Some High Kicking.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
A curious incident happened at Wal
lacks theater yesterday morning, which
proves that a society girl who knows she
is nimble and athletic will stop at nothing
to prove it and win bet. Last week,
when the Chicago base ball club and the
Giants witnessed the performance of
| "Prince Methusslem," the club from the
Windy City sent over the footlights to
De Wolf Hopper a monstrous ball of
white and red roses. Saturday night three
| young ladies who are members of the ex-
elusive 400 of New York's most fashion
able society attended the opera with some
friends. AS they were going in they
noticed the ball of roses, which for few
days had hung from the chandelier in the
lobby. AS they stopped to admire it, one
of the girls was heard to say to a com
panion: II bet could kick that"
Nonsense, it is too high" responded
her friend, and they passed down to their
seats.
Yesterday morning closed carriage
drove up in front of the theater and a
liveried footman sought Mr.. Stevens, who
was busy with the last dress rehearsal of
Lorraine" and said lady would like to
see him. He went at once tothe carriage and
recognized the young ladies who had talked
about kicking the ball the night before.
The first question asked was if TIE ball
was in its place. 1t was, and the rest soon
came out The young ladies had gone
home after the theater, and the one who
can be seen any day in the surf at neigh
boring resort offered wager, which her
companions promptly took. They de,
cided to settle the bet Sunday morning
when no one was about, and now, would
Mr.. Stevens help them.
Mr.. Stevens is nothing if not the most
accommodating man in the business, and
he entered heartily into the scheme. The
young ladies left the carriage and were
ushered into the dimly lit lobby by the
side door. Then the genial guide was told
to 60 out and stand with his back to the
door and let no one in until he was called.
He agreed again and left the young ladies
to decide their bet. In few minutes a
clear, musical laugh was heard, which was
taken as an invitation for Mr.. Stevens to
enter, which he did. In the center of the
lobby stood the athletic young lady in a
splendid fitting bathing suit of black and
gold, while on the floor was a long ulster
which she had worn in the carriage, while
in the bottom of Hopper's floral base ball
was hole which told that the bet had
been won. The entrance of Mr.. Stevens
caused the young lady to jump into her
ulster in double-quick time, and, thanking
Mr.. Stevens for his kindness, the three re-
entered the carriage, the liveried footman
closed the door and they rolled up town.

the house, who very promptly opened fire,
the robbers also firing. Then commend
running fight, the thieves gong ia
the direction of Marshal Karnes and Dep
uty MAYS, Who opened on them with shot
guns and pistols, the thieves turning their
course ~ d firing back, but owing TO the
lat, L So of the hour, it being Just about
dark, aud high cotton ard two-year-old
sprouts, they made their way TO the cedar
brake and escaped, leaving their horses
and saddles and one hat, which is now IN
pos4eslon of the sheriff. Officers went
out again next morning and found the hat
where it had fallen as the wearer went
into the brush, but the ground being so
hard and rocky the officers could never
strike any trail. One thief was hit in the
shoulder but not hard. This will be a
warning To outlaws that they may expect
to fight when they invade Bell county.
jim Odell, the gambler, who shot and
killed Charles Quinlsn on August II, 1886,
was shot Tuesday night, in Calves
ton, and seriously if not fatally
wounded. The shooting occurred at
Odell's residence, at about 1920 O'Clock.
Odell was seated on the gallery when the
gate was opened and a man began to
ascend the steps. When he got to the
top of the steps he suddenly drew a revOl.
yer and fired, the ball striking Odell about
the left hip and ranging downward. As
soon as the assassin fired he fled. Odell
was at once conveyed into his residence
and medical aid summoned. The wound
is pronounced severe, but not necessarily
fatal. Odell says he knows who his
assailant is, but refuses to divulge his
name to the police, saying he will settle
with him when he RECEIVERS. He is suffer
ing acutely and has to be kept quiet by
morphia. The shooting has caused in
tense excitement in snoring circles

The citizens have just com pleted ar

Mr.. R. X. Stanford, of Meridian, con-
tenn plates the establishment of a factory
at Meridian, in which ths Crews cotton

connection with sheet iron working gen

10000 cans of fruit.
The New Orleans Coffin and Furniture
Manufacturing company, of New Orleans,
have equipped their factory with entirely
new and the latest improved machinery.
Their capacity in power and machinery is
now three times to what it was before the
fire. They are daily receiving orders
for their goods, and as they were delayed
since the fire they expect that their trade
will be larger and more extensive than
their manufacture. So far the outlook
seems to be excellent.

Ore runs so to 65 per cent metallic zinc
and large quantities.
John G. Bone, of Batesville, has recently
added one turning machine, one boring
machine and one buzz, or hand planer
(jointer.) His factory is about as full of
machinery as can be worked unless he en-
larges. He has contracted and made to
order sash and doors for three large stone
store houses in Batesville, and is rushed
now to get up with small orders. He
does not consider the outlook good. He
says there is a foundry in course of con-
struction. The manufacturing interests
are sadly neglected Cedar timber trade
to the northwest ports of the United States
very good. Manganese ore shipped in
large quantities to Pennsylvania from the
mines twelve miles north of Batesville.

OF the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the fact that every purchaser receives
fair equivalent for his money. The
familiar headline, 400 Doses One Dollar"
stolen by imitators, is original with and
true only of Hoods Sarsapsrilla. This
can easily be proven by any one who de-
sires to test the matter. For real economy
