One of the strangest and yet true 90
currences has been experienced near
this place, which is in the middle OF
the desert. Last Tuesday evening
az engine 81, Engineer Spencer, was
returning from Lavic, he encountered
the following experience, which is
best told in his own words:
II had just rounded thecurve near
mile-post 673 and had taken my
watch from my pocket Noting tho
time, ,6:25 o'clock. I returned it to its
plgcs and naturally glanced ahead OF
my engine. What was my surprise
to see not over thirty yards ahead OF
me and approaching the track from
the south, man apparently six feet
tall, about thirty-fve years Of sge,
with long, black hair hanging down
his shoulders and heavy black beard
He was entirely naked, and bis skin
was tanned Putting on the driver
brake, I brought the engine to stop
Just as the man crossed the track.
Aftsr xcssing he stopped and looked
at us-
II immediately crossed over to the
freman's side, and as l started to
climb down to the ground he started
off. I called to him as I reached the
ground, but, with 8 frightened look,
he dashed away. ! thought I vas q
good runner, but the way his bare
feet got over the cinderS and gravel
led me to believe otherwise. Once
or twice he looked back, but did not
slacSsn his pace. Reaching the hills,
which are about half a mile from the
track, he soon disappeared. The
fireman, who had remained with the
engine, now came up, and we went
around the hill, but he had dlsap-
peared from view. I confess I did
not dare to follow him around there
alone, AS it wes late, and our Sd
CINE was standing on the main track
alone, We abandoned further search
and returned to the engine"

4 War Reminiscence.

THAT man was one of the brayest
and coolest soldiers in the Confeder-
ate army"
Such was the remark OF an old
Confederate soldier in front of the
Hotel Chiquola last Monday, point
ing to man with an empty sleeve
who had just passed. Those who
heard the remark were young men
who have come upon the stage since
the trying time of war, but being
none the less admirers Of heroism,
they at once inquired as to the one
armed mans history, when the mar
rator continued:
1T was in the Wills Valley fight
at Lookout Mountain, in 1863, when
we tackled the Yankees in the night
and found them little too many for
US. We were considerably worsSed,
but most Of the boys got back to
camp by morning. Among others,
one man made his way over the
mountain with one arm hanging limp
by his side, and sat down to breakfast
with his old mess. When he he.got
through he raised up and said:
"Well, boys, I guess this is the last
time will eat with you. I will go
down now and have this arm taken
off, as it Will never be any more use
to me. I can't handle the rifle any
more, but / wish you all good luck.
With that he walked off towards the
hospital, as cool as if he was going to
have his picture taken, and that
evening we heard his arm had been
anputated."
