ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS OF
EVERYDAY LIFE
aueer Episodes and Thrilling Adven-
lures Which Show that Truth IL
Stranger than Fiction.

-
There is curiosity near Crawford,
"a, that Is considered wonderful In its
way. IL is large fat rock. and is To-
.ated near the old Echois mill. Many
curious marks are discovered on its sur
ACE. The rock covers an acre Of ground.
One Of the strange features OF the rock
s the track OF some huge beast Of bur-
len. also the tracks Of the rider Of this
queer. antedeluvian monster. IL seems
hat the rider and his stecd made tour
across the rocks, leaving their tracks inn
pressed in the solid granite. About
middle way of the stony surface can De
,een place where the girth OF the riders
saddle broke and he dismounted to fix
{, leaving his tracks as plain as II made
IN sand bed. The hand of time has not
erased them, but they are there now,
showing the form of the animals feet
and the precise impression of the giants
feet impressed therein, with toes and all
as perfect and distinct as o schoolboy's
barefoot track of to-day. 1t is wonder
and can be vouched for by some OF the
best citizens of Oglethorpe county.
ONE OF the novelties of New York is Q

Along the edge Of the roof is canvas
screen about six feet high, which is
painted to represent water. AT one enc
Of the screen. and rising above 1t, is
platform which looks like pier. Upor
this the fisherman sits. Near him Is hin
basket. He casts his line into the sea
which is the space behind the painted
screen. When he catches fish the spec
sators see the liz straighten out and TIT
rod bend with the weight. The fisher
man works his reel vigorously until n
has raised his fish clear OF the water
then to reach it he takes the rod in be
side him hand over hand. He takes tn
fish off the hook and losses it into hi
basket, bats his hook anew, and agall
drops his line into the sea Occasion

Of satisfaction. he takes drink from

Striking MinersH Attack Colored La
borers and Pinkerton Men at
Franklin, Wash.
About 1000 Shots Fired and Two
White Men and One Negro
Killed.
The Militia Called Out to Prevent
Further Bloodshed-More
Trouble Feared.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 30.-Since the
bringing of 900 colored miners from the
East few weeks ago to take the place
OF white strikers on the Franklin coal
mines near Seattle, the labor unions
have evidenced great dissatisfaction and
late authentic news from Franklin,
makes known that the negroes and Pin
kerton guards had a pitched battle with
the white strikers at daylight Sunday
morning with the result that the whites
We're routed and driven back into the
woods with loss of two men killed,
several others wounded and two women,
wives OF the white miners, were shot in
the limbs but will recover. One negro
was probably fatally shot.
1t is estimated that at least l 900 shots
were exchanged, but owing to darkness
most OF the men fired at random.
The white strikers precipitated the
battfs by making the attack. After the
fight, and when daylight came, the ne
groes were crazed with desire for re-
venge, and threatened to go down on
the flats, blow up the mines and kill all
the white miners, who number 1875, and
their families The guards, assisted by
Chief Sullivan, had all they could do to
keep the negroes from carrying out
their dire threats. At q. m. two COM
panies of militia were sent to the scene
to protect the mine property and keep
the negroes and whites from shedding
more blood.
At Newcastle, Coal Creek and other
mining camps in this county. strikers
and "scabs" are arrayed against each
other and it is thought that battles may
occur at four or FIVE places within
twenty-four hours.

DANGER AT ST. JOE,
The River Is Very High and Still Rising,
Stock Yards in Danrer

The River Is Very High and Still Rising.
Stock Yards in Danger.
KANSAS CITY. June 3O.-The Stars St.
Joseph (Mo.) special says: The river has
risen steadily since Saturday and at
noon is within sixteen inches of the
highest point reached in ten years.
Residents of the French bottoms, north
of this city, are in state of alarm and
many are preparing to move. The
water is still rising and reports received
from Sioux City and Omaha show a
gain OF six inches in eighteen hours. If
the river should overflow the French
bottoms it is expected that a new chan
mel will be cut through, leaving many
farms on an island and diverging the
stream from the Kansas shore two
miles. If the present rate of rise con-
tinues twenty-four hours the stock
yards and hundreds of houses in South
St. Joe will be inundated. The situa-
ton is serious to the packing interests
as we'll as hundreds Of farmers on the
lowlands.

ONLY NINE lNTRUDERS.
Complaints from the Chickasaw Nation
Prove to Have Been UnfOunded.

Complaints from the Chickasaw Nation
Prove to Have Beea Unfounded.
WASHINGTON, June 3O-The commits.
sioner of Indian affairs has received
telegram from Agent Bennett, at Paul's
Valley, I. T., in which he says that after
a thorough investigation, with the
assistance of 100 Chickasaw Indian
scouts, covering territory of fifty
miles, he only found nine intruders in
the Chickasaw nation, six of whom
were given ten days to gather their cat
tie and leave; one brush hiding, and the
other two were placed in the hands OF
the Chickasaw militia with orders to
remove them to Oklahoma. Instead of
doing this, however, the agent says that
the captain of the militia hired one as
cook and the other as teamster. In this
section the Chickasaw authorities as
serted that there were 800 families of
intruders. The agent says that
many names enrolled as intruders
are fictitious, many others have
permits to live in the nation, while 9TH
ers are old Mexican war veterans who
live entirely upon their pensions, of
whom no permits have ever been de-
manded. The agent says the facts have
been grossly misrepresented by the
Chickasaw authorities, who issued hun
dreds of permits which were not re-
ported to the national authorities, which
were paid in good faith and are now
held by non citizens listed as intruders,
and who also hold permits for each year
of their previous residence in the Chick
asaw nation. The movement has thus
far resulted in unmasking the swindling
schemes of permit collectors, who, he
says. are fugitives from justice. With
few exceptions those in the nation are
peaceful, law-abiding citizens, having
the consent of the national authorities
to remain there.

No Danger at Omaha.

OMAHA, June 10. While the Missouri
river is on one of its periodical sprees at
st. Joseph, Gibson and Kansas City, it
is quiet at Omaha. There has been a
rise of one foot since Saturday morning
and Sunday morning registered 14e5-10
and at mig ght the rise was ID 7-lO feet.
The danger line, established several
years ago. is eighteen feet, which is
construed to mean that when the water
reaches this mark it is thirty-six feet
deep in the channel. This limit was
fixed by the food of 1867, but on the
bank it has been rip-rapped and filled in.
These figures. are thought by river men
to be false. Il
