The toboggan may now be fairly ranked
as a representative American amuse-
ment. 1t has been claimed by several
notable writer's on sports that it is essen
TALLY of Indian origin and therefore may
be classed as a purely American phase
of sport 1t is a representative sport
amor.y the best known nations, although
no other civilized nation than our own
makes leading feature Of it, or carries
it to such perfection.
THE FIRST TOBOGGAN.
The earliest mention of the primitive
toboggan is found in the history of the
inhabitants of the Sandwich Islands, in
the Pacific ocean. The game as prac-
ticed by them was called 'holua, and
was undoubtedly the forerunner of the
coaster and the toboggan slide. 1t was
participated in by several players, each
of whom was furnished with kind of
sleigh called papa. This was composed
of couple of rather narrow runners,
varying from seven to eighteen feet in
length, according to the skill and caprice
of the player-the runners being made
of hard, sound, seasoned wood, about
three inches in thickness, and curved up
at one end so as not to catch in the
ground and to better enable the sleigh to
rise over small obstacles encountered in
the ''run," or slide. A curious point Of
construction, however, was that these
runners were not placed in parallel po-
sition like those on a sleigh, but diverged
slightly at the rear end, being about
seven inches apart, and converged at the
front where they turned up, until they
were within two inches of each other.
The idea was to render the sleigh more
easy of guidance. These runners were
bridged across with pieces of board to
render them rigid, and the bridges were
covered with mat of native fiber.

For instance what will the Latin Republic

the amendment was the result of thorough
investigation. The difficulty about it Is
thus; The amount of sugar to be re-

sugar would receive no benefit from it.

not enact a aw more favorable 10 Spain

Mayor Pattison's Dual Life.

SUPERIOR, Wis July l6.-A story is
current here to the effect that Martin
Pattison, mayor of Superior and the
wealthiest man ID this place is not Martin
Pattlson at all, but is Simon NJ. Thayer,
and a romantic narrative is used in con-
nection with his former lie. The
inevitable woman figures largely in the
case The denouement was brought
about by al application for divorce filed
BY Isabella Murdoch, of Sanilic County,
Michigan, IN which she calls him Martin
Thayer. and makes the following al
legation of facts: Pattison, or Thayer,
married Isabella Murdoch In Michigan in
the sixties, but afterward fell in love with
her sister Martha, and in 1871 fed with
her, going to Marquette, Mich. There
Martin Thayer and Martha Murdoch dis.
appeared and Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
Paitison came into being. Thsyer having
simply dropped the name of Thayer and
taken that of his mother before her mar
riage. Pattison, as he was known,
invested in mines and became wealthy,
but riches could not stay the hand of
death, and the woman he had fed with
died and was buried at Marquette. though
her own name does not mark her grave.
The widower soon found solacc for his
grief in a servant who had lived with
them before the death of Martha Muir
dock. and when the thread Of his story is
again taken up they are to all appearances

moving to Superior. Riches paved the
way to honor, and Mr.. Pattison has in
consequence held many Offices, state and

still prevails in Perry county. Several
years ago the notorious Buck ana Zach
Fugate organized a band of outlaws in
the county and robbed several stores and
shot and wounded a constable who was
trying to make an arrest. They made
their escape to West Virginia. but were
followed and recaptured 10 Lincoln county
and brought to this county and lodged in
Jail. In a few days they effected their
escape. Two OF their number were sent
to the penitentiary, Since then there
have beea no courts held here on ac-
count of the French and Eversole feud.
The fugitives have appeared in this county
again and oragnized a new band, which
has resulted in the robbery of several
stores. On July 8 Constable Emery Alien
gotwarrants or the former indictment and
proceeded to arrest the band. They were
found near the mouth of Balls Fork.
The constable and posse had just cap

Of the day are h~urrying home. Every

The second was younger, sturdy and ag-

A good looking man Of middle age

Before she could sit down, however, the
younger oma pushed her aside and
sat down herself. There was no one in

who had given up his seat intended it

the younger one astonished everybody
for a moment. Then half a dozen seats
were vacated and the elderly woman
took one of them.
The man who had first given up his
seat raised his hat to the woman who
had taken the place not intended for her
and said IN a voice that could be heard
throughout the car: Madam, l believe
you to be among hat class of women
who are always complaining of mans
lack of courtesy toward women. You
will pardon me if 1 say that you are also
one of that class of women who tempt
men to be discourteous." Then he

other: Served her right" The woman
flushed and looked straight before her.
