He STRUCK Billy Patterson.
From the st. Louis Republic.


Last week we published an exhaustive
review of famous case-that of William
Patterson of Georgi1, the same Billy that
was struck this week we publish what
is believed to be an authentic answer to the
well-known conundrum. Mrs. Jennie G.
Conely of Athol, N. V, says that her
father, George w. Tillerton, who lived at
Franklin, Ga, at the time, and who has
long since died, struck that his
toric blow. AS related in 'tNotes
for the Curious" last week, Patterson was a
to his estate near GAINESVILLE, Ga, where he
became entangled in the famous broil and
received the blow which caused him to re-
peat the question, "Who struck Billy Pat
terson~ Being powerful man, with fist
like sledge-hammer, Patterson searched
long and patiently for the man with
audacity enough to strike him, but his
search awaited nothing. Tillerton kept
the secret from his own family until the
old man became SO persistent in his
efforts to discover the perpetrator of
the deed, even going 50 far as to leave
the country when he feared the $1,000
reward would cause some one to reveal his
identity TO the enraged Billy. After the
death of Patterson, Tillerton refused to
mention the affair, which was the best
course to pursue, as his friends would doubt
less have twitted him with playing the
live sheep racket over the dead lion" 1t
is only recently that Mrs. Conley has heard
of the reward waiting a claimant in the
Franklin county, Georgia, court of record.
The writer has not been informed whether
or not she will make an effort to secure the
dollars offered as reward for her fathers
rashness. Future developments will add a
third and last chapter to this interesting bit
of history.

SOUTH AFRIoA's BANK RoBBER.-
Chase the Police Had for Him After
His Escape.

Chase the Police Had for Him After
His Escape.
An interesting account is given by the
johannesburg Star of South Africa of the
police chase after McKeon, the bank rob-
Der, whose achievements in the matter of
perpetrating 70 bberies, escaping from Jail
and eludlng the police entitl5 him to rank
with the notorious Jack Sheppard, and
whose regard for his clever black horse re-
minds one of Dick Turpin. In the hurried
start after McKeon when he escaped from
the Pretoria Jail, says the newspaper in
question, the mounted police forgot
to take handouts with them. Fur
Their, McKeon had friends all along
the route. He was born in Basuto-
land, and every Basuro is his fast friend.
even to Mama. Consequently when the
police inquired along the road of Basutos if
they had seen two men pass on horseback
they invariably said that they had not.
Mckeon's love for his famous black horse
now at the mounted police barracks, was
extraordinary. The police had to have
three remounts before they could run that
horse down. Two of the mounted police
sighted McKeon and Cooper far ahead of
them They spurred on after them, think
ing that they would bring the fugitives to
halt on the steep bank of the Rhenoster
river.
What was their surprise, however. when
they saw McKeon leap his horse down the
20-foot bank into the river, swim across,
and, when he saw Cooper's horse would not
follow, come back, and reaching out pull
Cooper's horse down by the bride and drag
him through. One of the policemen had a
rifle and resolved to take long shot.
When McKeon saw the smoke of the gun
rise he and his companions drew their
horses apart and the bullet passed between
them. Shortly after McKeon drew his
horse up, leaped down. removed the saddle.
and stood patting his horse on the head.
The police approached and he surrendered
without word, giving over his two re-
volvers with the remark that he was en-
riching the government with revolvers,
for this was the sixth they had
had from him. He said he gave himself up
because he did not wish to kill his horse.
Cooper hadded over his revolver, too. look
ing rather glum. McKeon said he knew he
would receive twenty-five lashes, but he
would only stay in Jail for eight months,
when he would once more say goodbye to
tho authorities. He did not know why they
had given him twenty-five years, for he
lad not murdered any one or stolen a sheep
or OK. Robbing q bank of its surp lus
money was no crime. The police were en-
tirely taken off their guard, and conse-
quently at daybreak the next morning the

Humors of the Silver Fight.

Now that the republicans in the House
have been brought back to Reed and reason,
one can remember some of the humors of
the situation. Probably the funniest Incl

Farmer Wade, the republican congressman
from the Thirteenth Missouri district Mr..
Wade was at his home in Springfield Mo-

but when he learned of the struggle he de-

vote with the democrats against McKinley's
motion to table BANDS appeal from the

depot, jumped into cab, paid driver 81
extra to lash his horses, rushed into the
House, voted, and then when the result was
announced he found that he rad succeeded
in reducing the majority AGAINST his bill
from twenty-eight to twenty-seven.

SULLIVAN AND JACKSON
To Fight in Virginia, Within Six
Miles of WASHINGTON.
Ffont e Washinqton Crttic.

From the WASHINGTON Critic.
| Just at the time John L. Sullivan, the
worlds champion pugilist, has been in
| dlcted for the second time for indulging last
year in prizs fight with Jake Kilrain in
the state of Mississippi, and escaped with a
| $500 fine, there comes absolute information
that the contest for pugilistic supremacy
between him and Peter jackson, the col
ored champion of the antipodes, will come
of in Virginia, within sight of the national
| capital.
At the last session of the Virginia legis-
lature charter was granted to a corpora
| ton headed by DIR. Bailey, giving the
widest scope to sports of all kinds, when
practlced under the auspices of the club,
and guaranteeing to contestants. managers,
helpers and spectators absolute protection
from police interference.
That corporation is now in active opera
ton. 1t has secured plot of land about
miles from this city, overlooking the
Potomac and the capitol. Upon this tract
Will be built pavilion capable of accom-
modatIng $1,000 spectators. 1t is Intended
that here the leading boxers, wrestlers and
otner athletes shall contend for supremacy,
championship medals and money
Arrangements have already been made
positively by which the fight to settle tue
disputed question of superiority between
Sullivan and jackson will be brought Off at
this place. The date for the great event
has not yet been fixed. Indeed, it cannot be
until the duration of Sullivan's stay in
Mississippi is definitely known. Both men
have agreed that their differences of opin-
ion as to each others personal prowess shall
be decided upon this spot and under the
protecting auspices of the corporation afore-
said. Sullivan, with the forethought which
comes from hindsight, has taken eminent
legal advice. This has satisfied him that
the chare of the club will protect him and
all other participants in the contemplated
passage-at-arms-or fists, perhaps.
Not only is pugilism to be a prominent
feature, but bull fighting will be provided
for the admirers of things classic and for
elgn. Indeed, it is given out that the in
ltial conte will be of this character. To
this end famous Mexican matador has
been engaged. If any one doubts the con
stitutionality Of the charter, it can be tested
by this bovine battle.

FLIES CALL THE GUESTS.
An Englishman's Tale About the
Queerest Hotel on Earth.

An Englishman's Tale About the
Queerest Hotel on Earth.
From the Chicago Tribune
"The queerest hotel IN the world is in
Guatemala City, Central America" said an
English tourist who is stopping at the Rich
elieu while there a few weeks ago I
stopped day at the biggest hostelerv and
met with more surprises than | have pre-
vlously encountered in my trip around the
world. The house is built only one story
high, on account of the earthquakes. 1t is
constructed in the form of hollow square.
and the interior court is made beautiful
with trees and flowers. The exte-
rior pesents the appearance of a
prison. After pounding a high knocker
on the outer door you are ushered into
scene of verdant beauty. The hotel was
formerly the private residence of one of the
richest families of Central America, but the
owner was banished by President Barrios
for an alleged conspiracy against the gov
eminent. Around the interior were bal
comics overlooking a garden filed with
orange and peach trees, palms and beauti-
full flowers. The fare was good, and we
had our choice of pancakes with honey,
fish, poultry, fruits and coffee and choco-
late. You can't eat there if you are In
hurry, though. Only one thing is served
at time, and you can't get a cup of coffee
until everything else has been served. The
hotel furnishes candles, but matches are
extra. Then there Is system of
calling the guests which entities the hotel
to the name of the queerest one on the
earth. You are called by flies. The flies
down there are nearly as large as an
English sparrow, and they sting like q
hornet, though the bite is not poisonous.
They never kill them, but brush them away.
The halls of the hotel are filled with these
pests in the morning. Over each door is a
transom. Now. If you leave a call for Z
O'Clock your transom is opened at o'clock,
and the flies go in. Do they wake you? 1
should say so. The sensation is like that of
being sandbagged. In five minutes from
the time your transom is opened you are
downstairs looking for the proprietor. 1t
doesn't do any good to kick, though, for
that system has been the custom for years. :"

From the american Angler.
Henrik Dahl Of AaleSund, Norway, was
reader and follower of Darwin. Wishing to
apply his theory of the limit of adaptabiiity
of a species to its environment he procured
herring from a neighborirg ford and
carried it home in tub of sea water. He
renewed the water daily for some
time and gradually reduced the
quantity, with so little inconven-
fence to the herring that he concluded
that the fish might in tine learn to breathe
air undiluted with water, like the cat and
the man.
1t turned out as he expected, and the
water was finally turned out of the tub of
the herring, neAer to be replaced, even for
bathing. Henrik next removed the fish
from its tub and placed it on the ground.

first, but soon learned to move freely and
