AN OVER-WARM DRIVE.
Mr.. Coon Had to Rush 1t to Escape
From a Forest Fire.


Chicago Tribune.
Zone hundred square miles Of desola-
ton; millions of acres of burned tim
Der land" is how c. Fl. Coon, of New
York, briefly describes the burned dis
trict of Wisconsin. Mr.. Coon has just
returned from the district recently dew
astated by fire. and he says person
who has not visited that part of the
country since the flames swept over it
can form no conception of the desolatiOn
there. Mr.. Coon was at Eagle river
when the fires started with fishing
party, and remained in the country until
last week. He tells of narrow escape
he had from perishing in the flames
when near Lake Content:
I'VE became so used to the fires and
smoke that not much attention was paid
to the situation" said he. 1--WE went
about our business just as if nothing
unusual were going on. l was return
ing from the lake one day with fine
| string of wall-eyed pike, when found
myself with my two ponies and cart be-
| tween two fires. The wind was blowing
a hurricane, and thought my time had
come. l could not get back to the lake.
as escape that way was cut off. My
only chance was to get to wide creek,
but in order 10 reach it would have to
drive through burning timber distance
of 100 yards. | did not have much
time to debate the matter. and was
soon dashing through the flames, apply
ing the whip freely to the mules. I'm
like most horses they did not hesitate
when the burning underbrush was
reached. but dashed madly on. l held
my handkerchief over my mouth and
nostrils, not daring to inhale the smoke
and heat. Finally the creek was
reached and the ponies plunged into the
stream, and l was minus eyebrows, hair
and whiskers, and my clothing being on
fire, too, threw myself into the water.
For two hours the ponies renamed in
the creek before it was safe to venture
out. During that time we were almost
sutfOcated with smoke and heat. Nearly
all the hair was burned off the horses,
and l was kept busy in the creek put
ting out charcoal cinders that fell upon
the bodies of the ponies and into the

THOUGHT OF HIS FAMILY.
If He Were Killed He Didn't Want
Any Financial COMPLICATIONS.

The road was uneven and there were
numerous sharp curves, and as the train
was running at high rate of speed it
was anything but comfortable for the
passengers. Some times it actually
seemed as though ali the wheels on one
side of the Pullman were off the rail at
once.
This didn't serve to put any of the
passengers at ease, BUTT seemed to have
a particularly bad effect on little old
fellow near the middle CT the car. He
grew more and more nervous with every
jerk of the ear, and finally called the
porter to him.
"How soon will we reach a place
where can send dispatch?" he asked.
"BOut ten minutes, sah," was the
reply:
blank
1t was brought and he hastily scrib-
bled the following message to a New
York broker:
"Sell all my stock in x and 2 road at
once and at any price you can get"
you don't seem TO have much con-
fidence in the road" said the man in
the next seat, who had read the dis
patch over the little mans shoulder.
Z" haven't" was the terse reply.
"You don't think it has much of flu
ture, apparently?"
Future be hanged" returned the
little man. II was thinking of the
present and my family"
Your familyp' exclaimed the
stranger. "What has your family got
to do with it?''
Everything. my friend, everything
exclaimed the little man, land if you
were anything of a financier you'd see
1t. I've got to ride 200 miles on this road
yet, and how would 1t look for my FAM
lily to sue the road for damages that il
secured would practically come out OF
my estate? No, sir, I'll allow this dis
patch twenty minutes to reach New York
and I'll allow the broker twenty-five
minutes to dispose of the stock. II this
blamed car keeps the rails for forty-tive
minutes more, some one else will be
stuck for damages if l climb the golden
stairs. And if she holds the rails for
the whole 200 miles 1 can buy the stock
back if l want it, and go back by another

A HAUNTED WHITE OAK.
Under It's Branches Twelve Men
Were Shot to Death.

Near New Holland. Ca, there Is a
little swamp near the road. AT its edge
stands a large white oak tree. Years
ago this spot was often pointed out as
the scene of the murder of twelve men,
and the place bore the reputation of
being haunted. 1t was said the rafting
of chains and groans and prayers for
mercy could be distinctly heard by
passers-by. No one ever stopped to in
vestigate, as we can testify from per-
sonal experience, having heard the
groans some fourteen years ago. and
| having done some of the most distin-
guished travelling in all our eventful
| career.
But to the story, as told in the New
York Dispatch. Howard Thompson
was a witness to the killing, which oc-
Cured in 1868, he being about ten years
old at the time. The killing was done
by Bob and Ben Jordan, of Pickens
county, and the murdered men were
| deserters who had been arrested in Gill
mer county.
While the Jordan boys were in the
| Confederate army crowd of deserters
visited the house of their father and
assaulted their sister and the wife of
| Bob Jordan, and carried their father,
who was about seventy years old,
| through the mountains about sixty
miles, and subjected him TO many
shocking crueltieS. Then the Jordan
boys returned home and began their
record of killing. Every man known to
be deserter or sulker became victim
of their unerring rifles. Bob kept list
of the names and dates in small book.
He was pursued one day, and in cross
ing a river lost his book. 1t contained
125 names. After that he kept no
record. This was before the killing near
Gainesville.
Bob and Ben Jordan became recruit
ing officers and arrested twenty-siX men
in Gilmer county and started with them
to the front. On the way two escaped,
and twenty-four were lodged in Gaines
vile Jail. Next morning the Jordans
picked out twelve who, they had reason
to believe, had been implicated in the
outrages upon their family and chained
them together and marched them to this
white oak tree on the New Holland
road. They stood them up In rowland
Bob Jordan marched along the line with
a large army pistol and shot them with
his own hand, one at time. Some fell
on their knees and prayed, while others
looked their SLAYER straight In the face
and died with an oath Oh their lips.
Among the number was fragile boy
about fifteen, who was chained to a
very large man.
The boy was shot first, and the man
supported him in standing posture
until he himself was shot, when they
fell to the ground together.
Those twelve men were hastily buried
in trench dug upon the spot. but after
the war they were eXhumed by the
Federal authorities and removed to the
National cemetery at Chattanooga.
After the war Bob Jordan was shot to
death in Florida by a weak, sickly
Young man upon whom he was impos-
ing. Ben was stabbed to death in a
barroom in Texas. The spot where the
killing occurred is now in cultivation,
but the old tree still remains.

Worked the Wrong Way.

Philadelphia Record.
The old thirteen" superstition has
a damper put upon it by recent occur
renee at the Forest home, a retreat for
infirm theatrical people in this city.
For several years the population of the
home has been just thirteen, and as act
Ors, of all people, are most superSti-
tious, the management short time ago
decided 20 increase the number to four
teen. This was done despite the fact
that during the entire time IN which
the population had numbered thirteen
not a single death had occurred. The
new inmate was Nelson Decker, and on
last Tuesday, just three days after the
unlucky number had been increased to
fourteen, death claimed Miss Dora
Shaw, a star of by-gone days. In the
death of Miss Shaw the number is again
reduced to thirteen, and it is probable,
now that the rule has worked with
contrariety, that the number will never
again be considered an unlucky one by
the inmates of the Forest home.

STRUCK 1T RICH.
A st. Paul Man Makes a Good
Find in Montana.

Find in Montana.
Capt. Charles Nelson, of st. Paul, has
returned from a several months soJOurn
in Montana. where he has evidently
struck a rich find in mining. He brought
with him a number of specimens of
minerals from in and around Monarch,
a new mining town that has sprung up
like a mushroom since the building of
the Montana Central. branch of the
Great Northern road, up the Belt river.
A great many people have examined
the specimens on exhibition in the win
dow of the Michaud Carpet COM
pany. An assay of the minerals
by n. Lehnen, of this city, shows that
in one mine there is $500 in gold, $50 in
silver. and $50 in lead to the ton. In
another mine the aggregate of these is
1922, and in a third SOL per ton. Capt.
Nelson says there are about fifty mines
in the mountains about Monarch, and
that there is great excitement over the
finds. He thinks also that the pro-
ductiveness of the soil and the good
climate will make that section of the
country desirable for settlement, aside
from the mining interests. Monarch is
built in a gulch, fifty-three miles from
Great Falls. Capt. Nelson came to visit
his family, but expects to return with
them in couple of weeks.
