On Sunday morning Frieze entered the pas.

on his milking stool when he heard the bell

feet, and. knowing he could not reach

almost touching the ground and his
tail erect Just rs he reached Frieze

once more charge on the farm hand. Again
the prongs OF the fork were driven into his
side. Frenzied. hecked with foam. aud bleed
Ing from his wounds he again turned and
made rush for Frieze. The move WAS 20 sud-
den that the laborer could not dodre the beast
The pitchfork struck the animal square In the
forehead.
The force OF the charge knocked Frieze to
the ground. The bull trampled on him. but
the man kept his hold on the fork. The bull
saw that his victim was down and rushed at
him, and as the fork again stuck In his nose he
turned 1t aside. Catching Frieze on his horns.
he tossed him In the air. The bull met him as
he came down. and again tossed him. catching
him on his no rs as he fell.
Henry Drockman who was some distance

lowing ofthe bull. lie fastened to tho pasture,
and arrived in time to SEQ the bull uuwing at

When matters, however, began to be threatening around Manipur she gave the first signs of her courage by refus- ing to leave the post held by her hus- band amid his dangerous surroundings. Her own letters home gave the most concise summary we have had of the events which led up to the terrible dis aster of the 24th.

deviltrv is still familiar theme from Pittsburg to Cincinnati. Hundreds of stories of their daredevil scrapes are still told along the river. and it wasnot an uncommon thing when several hun dred of them had sold their timber, which they had tioated down to Gin cinuati in immense rafts and fleets, for them to get on board one of the largest boats which at that day piled the river on their up trip and take the captain, pilots, engineers, and other officers prisoners and then run the boat to S it themselves. Every other craft in the legitimate trade gave the pirate" as wide u berth as possible, running into the bank if necessary to get out of the way. When town or landing was ap- preached the bell was kept changing as fast as stalwart arms could pull the rope. while the whistle was blown loud and long enough to awaken the seven sleepers. The citizens of the towns seemed to know by intuition that the raftsmen had taken possession of boat long before she came in sight and crowds of them would congregate along the bank to witness the strange scene. There was no use to resist, as steamboatmen soon learned. and the only way to save the boat and property was to effect some sort of compromise, which generally ended in the dare devils running the steamer half day or such a matter, when they turned her over to the proper owners.

The Big Sandy dollar" as
The Forrest City times., 1891-07-24

the counterfeit was denominated, was as commd6 as it's more legitimate brother from the mint at Washington or New Orleans along the Ohio valley, and it was claimed openly and l be- lieve frequently admitted to this day by the older people that the "Big Sandy dollar" contained as much silver and was as handsome piece of money as the genuine, Even long after the discovery of the coniackers' den in the mountain the bogus dollar remained in circulation. To account for this the writer has been often told that the counterfeiters had discovered vein or mine of silver in the mountain, and that they were using pure silver and more of it than was contained in the genuine. Be that as it may, the tradf tion still exists that silver mine ex- isted and was long worked at some point on the Sandy.
 This is the character of the country wild, mountainous and almost inn penetrable, and thinly populated by a people who are 100 years behind the times and who to-day are living over again ill q somewhat modified form the lives of their ancestors of century ago.

KISSED A ROADACENT.
Eydfa Thompson Had Thrilling
 Experience Out West.

A good story is told about Lydia Thompson, the burlesque actress who first visited this country in the ea,$y seevnties. At that period there was DO railway to Cheyenne. To make that city the famous burlesquer was forced to cross the plains by stage from Deadwood. Sire only took part of her company along. It was on cool August evening that the Coach left Deadwood, After two-days' ride they were attacked by road agents, who were disgusted to find that all the occupants of the coach were of the geatler sex. The outlaws seldom attack or rob women. Yet they didn't like to tell the driver to ''go on" on such occasions. As they hesitatcd on this occasion, the burlesquers, who were ready to hand out their valuables, wondered what it all meant.
 What do you want?" asked Miss Thompson, who had thrown an old red shawl under her arm and other wise changed her appearance to that of an Irish woman of meagre means.
 T want a kiss demanded the leader of the road agents.
 ''But sure, yez don't want to kiss an auld woman like meself," said the fair Lydia.
 You may be Irish, mann, but dem lips is just too lovely fur anything; so git down. an be mighty quick about it. and the leader whipped dangerous looking gun out of his pocket.
 Lydia alighted without further ado and delivered kiss to the outlaw with unerring aim.

 X farmer of Williamsbridge, on the northern out skirts of New York city, blows his land with horse and mule harnesscd together. The mule has a hairless, stabbed tail. a dropping ear. and a dead eye But what he lacks in personal appearance he richly makes up in sagacity. The other morning. lshortly after dawn. the farmer found that both horse and mule had been stolen out of the stable during the night After breakfast time tho mule ilmpod hcme, travelling for tho most part on three legs Ore of the rear letloclss was badly spraincd. and his lips were llecked with blood as though he had been trying to chew something too tough for ordinary masticating powers. Almost at the same hour q sorry locking man with a SEQ bill in his pocket was arrested as a suspicious person by the Carmansville police. He was covered with cuts and bruises, which he accounted for by saying that he had been knocked down by run away horse. crushed by the wheels of the wagon behind it. and mangled by a dog that was pursuing the turnout. The farmer suspects that the man was in contact with both ends of his mule, and that the $20 is the result of a cheap horse sale.
