Gillen, of Troy, who had been enjoying
a vacation in the hop fields. stopped at

were arrested as tramps. They were put

tried to tell the justice that they were

Haunted byA Rat.

A singular story, which the genius Of
= Hoffman or a Poe might make ex-
tremely effective. is that of a man in In
diana who seems to have been haunted
by an evil spirit in the form of a rat-or
at least that is the form the idea would
probably take in the story.
Some twenty years since he was feed
ing grain in threshing machine. when
q rat ran across the floor of the barn
where he was at work He turned to
watch it, and allowed his hand to be
Drawn into the machine in his absent
mindedness His hand was torn off. and
he has since been forced to make shift
with the remaining hand. which fortu-
nately was the right
A few days since. so the story goes, he
was feeding threshing machine in the
same place, when again rat ran across
the floor Remembering the old acci
dent he vented his Indignation in vio-
lent kick at the animal. when his foot
slipped. he lost his balance, and in re-
covering himself he let his right hand be
drawn into the machine, and it was in
turn pulled off as the other had been.
The story is il curious one, and full of
possibilities in the way of development
of its marvellous side 1t could be car
ried little farther. and the crowning in
cident be made the death of the victim
of the maleyolent haunting rat. Boston

Indians Getting Restless.

Capt. Trimbleton. of the Seventh Unit
ell States cavalry. passed through Pitts
burg u few days ago on his way from Fort
Sill, l. T., to New York. and conyersed
will, a Chronicle-Telegraph reporter on
tho outlook III the Indian section. He
said: No ont. who is not in the Indian
reservations can comprehend the almost
magical spread among them of the i'm
preston that the Great Medicine Man is
once more about to visit the earth Thou

plows and agricultural occupations t.

Quoting wild orgies to welcome the
Great Medicine Man.
The effect Of the fanatical preachings
of certain tribal leaders is proving
source OF grave alarm. One part of
their religious exercises is daily wash
in the Washita river. On the banks of
that stream they expect the Medicine
Man to appear, who is to cover the world
with thirty feet Of soil, exterminate the
white race, and once again apportion
the country out for the tribes of Indians
believe that there will be a serious out
break among the Indians as result of
this religious excitement. The sight Of
10000 Indian braves and squaws flock
ing to the Washita river every morning
to bathe and chant wild dirges is calcn-
lated to excite apprehension among army
officials and white settlers alike"

but they have failed from difficulties in

than two-thirds of the tack business is
controlled by that state. and fully three
quarters by all of New England. New
