A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
A Manacled Skeleton Found in a Tree
Down in Texas.

A Manacled Skeleton Found in a Tree
Down in Texas.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Dec q. - Near
Tishomingo yesterday strange discovery
was made by some woodchoppers who were
working in the hills west of that place
They brought to town a skeleton and the
section of tree to bear evidence of the
truthfulness of their story.
They cut down a large oak tree which was
partially hollow, but the entrance to the
followed portion had almost entirely grown
over, leaving only a narrow slit in the out
side of the tree. When the tree fell
to the ground it was split open
by the shock, and there, lying
in the center of the broken wood,
was the skeleton of a man. On the ankle
of the skeleton was band of iron attached
to piece of chain, evidently from the man
acles worn when it sought refuge in the
hollow tree. From all indications the skel-
eton has been entombed for years, for the
tree had grown sufficiently to almost cover
the opening through which he crawled to
hide. Two of the ribs were broken in such
manner as to lead to the belief that il was
done by bullet.
The supposition is that the man escaped
from some prison and had fled with a por-
tion of his manacles, and, being shot and
hard pressed, had sought refuge in the tree
and there died.

NAMED FOR M'KINLEY.
A White House Pet That Bears the Bi
Mans Cognomen.

A White House Pet That Bears the Big
Mans Cognomen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Ever since the
death of the Scotch collie, Dash, which
Mrs. Harrison brought from Indianapolis
with her, there has been dearth of pets at
the White House. Nov, however, the
faithful old watch and house dog has been
succeeded by younger and more vigorous
specimen of canine, white and iver-spot-
ted pointer puppy, about 6 weeks old. A
friend of the President in Ohio is the donor
of the dog, whose pedigree is vouched for in
a long parchment roll, and he also enjoys
the distinction of having been born in Ohio
the day that Governor Mckinley. was
chosen to preside over the destinies of the
Buckeye State.
From this circumstance probably the at
tendants at the Executive Mansion have
named the puppy Mckinley, and he is as
thriving and energetic in search of mischief
as any dog yet born. Every visitor to the
White House, when Mckinley is loose,
is subjected to a searching examination, and
if young American happens to be in the
party he is pretty apt to be subjected to
some OF 'Mac's" frolicsome antics.
