HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST.

THE finding of q skeleton at Scran.
ton, Pa., started police mystery, until
the bones were found to be those of q
calf.
A VETERAN hunter Of Danforth, Me-,
in attempting to kill q huge bear with
knife, was carried three miles on the
animals back before the wild beast
died from the loss of blood.
Throw up your hands and cash."
yelled a highwayman with q gun to
Patrick Matthews, of Shenandoah. Pa.
Matthews gave up package he was
carrying, then knocked the man down
with stone, and, recovering his pack
age, escaped.
A TERRIBLE method of suicide was
adopted by a machinist of Waldhcim,
Wcstphalia. He put the engine ut it's
highest speed and then threw himself
against the fly-whecl, which struck his
head OFF at once and tossed his body
against the wall with crushing force.
Rather violent, but dead sure.
A BOX containing big snake, con-
signed to King &5 Franl1lin's circus, fell
and broke open in the Southern express
office at Birmingham, Ala. The snake,
seven feet in length, drove the other oc-
cupants from the Office, and compelled
the night clerk to take refuge in the
vault, where he spent hours before the
snake was recaptured.
ONE of the largest devil fishes ever
caught in Puget sound was caught
near Port Madison the other day by
some fishermen. When first caught it
would measure, spread out fifteen or
twenty feet across from tip to tip of it's
arms. On each of its eight arms were
over two hundred suckers, making in
all upward of sixteen hundred.
THE latest fish story comes from
Ocala, Fla, where the cook at Il res
taurant is alleged to have found dia-
mond ring in n fish's stomach. The
ring is of handsome design and contains
seven small stones set in 4 circle, with
one larger than the rest in the center.
Inside tho band on the lower side arc
engraved the letters S. Z. L. The ring
is valuable one, probably worth from
one hundred to one hundred and twenty
five dollars.

THE SAME OLD STORY.

During the progress Of the Indian
murder trial in the District Court at
this place the following custom
among tho Pluto tribe in regard TO
witchcra't was noticed by reporter:
One OIL Indian on the stand claimed
to be judge among his own people,
and test lied that it has always been
law amolg his tr.oe as far back as he
can remember whenever u witch ap-
peaLed in their MIDST to put her to
death, and he also SAID that his grand
father has told him that in years gone
by the Indiacs, Ike The whites of the
early days Of tn.s coIutry, buried
supposed witches at the stake. The
evil one always p. etends TO be doc
t:ess aod when a certain number of
her patients die the regular doctor of
the tribe pronounces her witch and
the friends OF the deceased fall upon
her and beat her 20 death with clubs
or mangle her with axes; sometimes
they are stooed 20 death. The case
before the Court is w:tchcraft case
and the prisoners, two womea aud
one man, Killed their victim in the
most brutal manner, using axes and
fairly cutting the supposed witch to
pieces. The prisoners claim that
they did not think they were doing
any harm and can't understand why
they are kept in jail. The Piules are
a very snpersT; y.ous people and they
imagine by killing these witches that
their tribe will suffer no illness and
those that are i'll VIII get we'll and
happiness will reign among them

a wHOPPING FISH STORY.

Poison Csed as Eait, and Hundreds
of Cattle Dying.
TAHLEoUAH, l. T., Sept. 20.-For ages it
has been the custom with the Indians about
this time in the year, when the fish re-
fuse to bite at an ordinary bait. to use a
poison, or rather an intoxicant to vitate the
running waters in order that the fish might
be harvested. This was tried a few days
ago IN the Illinois river, and the result is
that hundreds of cattle are dying every
day. The material used as poison is moth
ing more than the common buckeye root
pulverized and deposited in the water
The cause of the fatal result and loss
Of so many cattle can only be
accounted for in the fact that too much was
used. Heretofore ouly a small quantity,
twenty-five or thirty bushels. was used, but
on this occasion nearly 125 bushels were
used, and over 500 natives participated in
the slaughter harvesting by shutdown in
ten miles of water nearly three tons of the
finny tribe The oldest citizens declare
they never saw anything to equal it. The
Cherokee laws are somewhat oppressive and
unreasonable regarding che privilege of
fishing, and the national council at its last
session passed law prohibiting the use of
explosives to destroy fish, but failed to pass
any restrictions on the use OF poison, but
now the lesson has been taught, and the
most prominent citizens will work to
throttle the sports.

MYSTERIOUS STONE. rHRo wERs
Showers of Rocks Fall Upon the

Showers of Rocks Fall Upon the
House of Texas Negro.
DENTON, TEX, Sept. 2O.-A great deal Of
excitement has existed among the negroes
in the northern part of Denton for the past
four days over the very mysterious way in
which stones aud brckbats have been fall
ing on and into the house of an old negro
woman named Nancy Curly. She repor ted
the matter to the officers aud they made an
investigation, but returned with the mys-
terry still unsolved. The old woman declares
that she has no enemy she knows Of that
she has not wronged any one, and this pecu-
liar procedure on the part Of some one does
not at all cause her to feel comfortable.
The rocks have been hurled into the
Kitchen through a window on top of the
house and in different parts Of the yard
yet she claims that sne has not seen any one
throwing the stones and brickbats and has
looked in q ravine near the house to see if
possible, If any person was secreted or had
glass ball or any kind of a trap which
would throw these sized stones hidden there
and neither was found. When asked if it
wasn't probable that some of her children
we're doing the throwing, she replied that
they had not, as she could see them all
when the throwing was going on.
The mystery is how the rocks are thrown,
as it is fact that the stones have come
from the direction where the officers at the
same time were. The conclusion arrived at
by the officers is that her uuappr eciative
offspring wish to run her Off from her home

How Two Young Men of Cambridge
Robbed JeWeler.

HOW TWO Young Men OF Cam bridge
Robbed a JeWeler.
Boston. Sept. IA novel, clever and
bold robbery took place in Cambridge this
afternoon. John Gill, a Harvard square
jeweler, was the victim. Wednesday two
young men, said TO be Harvard students,
visited his store and were shown a variety
of CLOCKS from which to make selection.
After examining the goods without being
able TO decide they left, saying they wo uld
call again.
True to their word, they put in an appear
ance this afternoon, one Of the young fell
lows having package under his arm. The
innocent looking bundle was naturally and
carelesSly placed on the floor at the base of
the counter under the showcase The young
men were all business, and asked Mr. Gill if
he would kindly show them the clocks
again. The proprietor left his work and
went TO the rear of the store to get the goods
in question.
This portion of the store is shut off by a
large safe and nigh counters. and while Mr..
Gill was making selection of clocks to
show the would-be purchasers they were
not idle. The taller one, standing on the
package which had been placed on the floor,
reached over the showcase and noiselessly
opening it, stole very valuable diamond
ring and decamped with his pal before Mr..
Gill could realize what had been done.
The box left behind proved to be an
empty wooden one, neatly done up in
wrapping paper 1t was Just high enough
to enable the thief to reach over the coun-
ter and get his hand in the showcase, prov
ing conclusively that ON their first visit the
couple had done some close figuring.
