LOST In THE BAD LANDS.
Nine Days without Food in That ISOLATE
Region.


Region.
George Jackson, a prominent wool
grower of Ubet, in Fergus County, Mont,
has had an experience in the Bad
Lands, Northern Montana, which he will
never forget. About two weeks ago, in
company with his wife, he left Billings for
his home at Ubet. distance Of 175 miles.
On the second day out they came to where
two roads forked, and jackson, despite his
wiie's protests, concluded to take the new
course, saying that, while it ran through
the Bad Lands, and was rough country,
yet 1t was the shortest course.
At night small lake, the only water
within thirty miles, was reached. Here a
camp was made About dark Jackson went
to the lake for water. Not returning in
little while. his wife went to hunt him, but
discoveredlnO traces Of her husband. This
was Thursday, week ago. The following
day. Friday, Saturday and SUNDAY. Mrs.
Jackson wandered about in the Bad Lands,
with but scant supply of food, looking for
her husband, but her search was unavail
ing. Monday passing freighter aided her
10 hitch The team up, and put her on the
road to the nearest ranch. There posse
was organized t. look for Jackson. and
after five days search they gave it up, con-
Guiding that he had been drowned in the
lake.
News was received from TIBET that the
missing man had been found by a party of
home-hunters in what is known as Devils
Basin. He had been without food or shelter
for nine days, and was pitiful sight. He
was so weak he could not rise. and was eu-
tirely unconscious Of his surroundings. The
first thing he said was: Give me some
bread and meat" The place where he was
found was no more than two miles from the
spot where he and his wife camped, and the
presumption is that when he left the lake he
wandered around in n circle. The doctors
believe that with careful attention he will
recover.-CinciDnati Enquirer.

had the pleasure of witnessing from box
at PalmeT's Theater the triumphant debut
of his daughter Blanche, who took the part
of Queen Elizabeth in the play Amy Rob-
sart" A beautiful girl of IS. she is the gen.
uine product of dingy City Hall place, and
has developed histrionic talent that's likely
to make her famous. 1t WAS rather a
strange sight to behold this girl OF the Sixth
Ward, born and reared within the shadow of
tie City Hall, personating England's virgin
Queen. and in genuinely royal manner
quelling the quarrels between naughty
Leicester aud the lowly Sussex. Miss Walsh
is a success, and Fatty" her father, is as
proud of her as he has reason to be, and
beamed on her with rich red face like the
rising sun. After the performance was
ended the ex-Warden went TO the stage
door, tucked his daughters arm under his
own, and together they went home. The
old man has made the same ultimate failure
in life that befalls all politicians, hut he IS
rather to be envied than pi;ied for the good
fortune that has come to him in his lovely
daughter.

Despite the cable dispatches sent to the
