A man and his wife rushed across the
street in front of a horse car, and the
ground being covered with frozen snow
the man slipped and fell on the track. The
horses were coming along at sharp trot,
and it seemed to every one who saw the
man fall that he would surely be run over
His wife screamed, and the driver shut
down his brake with might and main and
pulled the horses away from track on
which the man lay. When the car came
to standstll the front platform was over
the man and the wheel almost touched
him.
The man was so frightened that he
crawled out of his dangerous position with
difficulty Not unnaturally he forgot to
bring his umbrella with him, and it was
run over and broken in two when the car
started again. The wife's feeling when
she saw that her husband was unhurt was
one of the greatest joy, but as soon as she
discovered that he had allowed his UNI
brella TO be run over this changed To an
ger.

the matter with you anyway? Haven't

She went on in this strain until she and
her husband were out of hearing The

escaped the car wheels only To meet worse

scene murmured, "Deliver me from q

DENVER, Col, Jan. 27.-Barney O'Dris-
coll, prominent mine owner from Silver
ton, while discussing the Kansas situation
in the Windsor lobby last night said /:
John j. Ingalls, would never have been
elected to the United States Senate had it
not been for pretty girl"
After some coaxing Driscoll was pre-
vailed upon to tell the story, which is as
follows:
TWENTY-FIVE years ago was a resident
of Doniphan county, Texas, and in the fall
OF lS72 was chosen representative from that
district on the democratic ticket There
were two candidates in the field for United
States senator-Ingalls and odd Beans
Pomeroy. Pomeroy was well known and
an ex-senator with a large following, while
Ingalls, was comparatively unknown. Our

no figure in the contest, but went to the

TO cast the solid democratic vote for any

piled: 'O'Driscoll will vote for Ingalls, if
this bribery business is cleared up and if
you will do it you shall have the introduc-
tion.' The executive agreed.

lowing explanation: Judge Delehay some
times took too much toddy, and while in
that playful condition. caused by an over
dose Of stimulants, had thrown one of In
gals cases out Of court. The latter went
to Osborne, who was a more experienced
lawyer, and employed him TO get the case
reinstated. He gave Osborne $500 for do

Men, and They Are Not Dead.
From the Galveston Netos.
The Alabama Indians came from east of
the Mississippi river over 100 years ago.
They have been gradually reduced in num-
bers TO about 220, of whom about sixty are
warriors. The name of the chief is John
Scott, and there are four leading, or, rather,
subordinate chiefs, viz Billy Ponchy,
Washington Silestine. Charley Thompson
and Joshua Poacho. They have acquired
but little of the habits. customs, etc., of
civilization, clinging with tsnacity to the
savage customs Of their race. Some few do
not use whisky.
They are generally honest, truthful, and
industrious; they are peaceful and very
grave in demeanor, yet at the same time
very susceptible TO mirth when they per-
ceive things ludicrous. A portion wear the
same clothing as their white neighbors;
others the garb Of their forefathers. They
are fond of ornaments, preparing them
selves beautiful work in heads and colors.
The men wore long black hair, and where
they have not adopted the dress of whites
wear bright-colored shirts and buokskin
leggings The squaws dress in bright
colored calico, with profusion Of bead, tin
and silver ornaments. The Alabama In
dlAus take care OF the old and helpless
among them. They live in a village on
Big Sunday Greek on a tract of 1880 acres
of land given them by the state of Texas.
They have fields. and raise corn, cotton,
sweet potatoes, sugar cane. and peas, and
have horses, cattle, hogs and poultry.
They raise sufficient grain for bread, and
pick cotton and do other work for the
farmers. They are also successful hunters.
Their houses are built Of logs and slate, and,
accustomed TO the open air as the inmates
are, they are sufficiently comfortable. AS
might be expected, the Indians are supersti-
tIoCs and believe in witchcraft.
They are governed by their own tribal
laws, which are In some instances very
strict; they slay the murderer, etc. For
indians, they are handsome and intel~
hgent tribe; their law prohibiting marrying
with the whites or colored race is strict.
They are expert ball players and have the
following dances: The green corn, bear,
horse. frog, deer. bird, chicken, scalp and
war dances. and mimic the different ami
mails and birds In their dances. The Ala
bama Indians have been for some time
instructed by the Rev. Mr. Curry and his
wife. Mr.. Curry is now dead, and Mrs.
Curry is still teaching them, and deserves
great credit for the care and attention she
has given them. e-
