Thomas II. Dixon, u well-known
Wheeling printer, and Edward D. King,
another printer, had their trial at Pitts
burgh on the charge OF killing William
Cunningham, also n printer. 1t was
testified that death was due to blood
clot in the brain. Several eye-witnesses
said that Cunnin CHAM knocked Dixon
down and was in turn knocked down
by King, When Cunningham fell he
fell out in tho street with his head on
the car track. A man who looked like
Dixon then ran out and kicked him and
one Mckee ran over and intcrfered.
He and George Miller helped Cunning
ham up and started to assist him down
smithficld street. AT Lemon alley this
man who looked like Dixon rau IN and
struck at Cunningham and then kicked
him several times III the stomach.
Capt. Robert Denniston, OF the police
force, testified that King told him in
central station that Cunningham had
insulted Tommy Dixon and he knocked
him down.
The defense said they would ondeavor
to prove that Cunningham's death was
brought about by his own evil habits
aud not as the reault OF any blow; that
had it not been Tor the fight the man
would not have lived anyhow, as disease
and drink had already done their work
and the blood clot which caused the
death Of the man was already forming
they would show that both prisoners
bore excellent regulations in their ma
tive towns and wherever they were
known, and that they were Of peaceable
and law-abiding dispositions.
Thomas Dixon told about going
from Wheeling to SEQ his mother and
brother. He met Cunningham and
they took several drinks together, and
he loaned Cunningham fifty cents.
That night, about 10 o'clock, he was
standing on Smithfeld street, in SsOnt
OF tho Dispatch office. Cunningham
came up and said, "What are you look
ing att" He answered, "Hello, Bill, "
and kicked him playfully in the shins.
With an oath Cunningham knocked
him down, and tho next Dixon rnmem.
bcred was when King picked him up
and asked who hit him.
Yesterday forenoon at 9:40 King and
Dixon were brought into court, al
though the jury had not appeared.
Both looked nervous and i'll at ease.
Their counsel sat beside them and
looked much more confident than their
clients. At l0:45 n. m. the jury filed in,
and the prisoners wera ordered to stand
up, and the Jury announced n verdict
had been agreed on. Tho foreman said
"Wo find tho defendants guilty Of
voluntary manslaughter and recon-
mend them to the mercy OF tho court.

surprised. They were at once remand

sealnad bx His own Hand.

In the state of New Hampshire lives a
writer of cheap literature who is now very
careful to attach nothing but a pen name
to the creations of his imaginative brain.
He has been In the business many years.
and some Of his first stories were written
under his own name, a thing he now re-
grets. At one time he turned his attention
from sensational literature to politics, and
he was appointed on the staff of the gov
ernor of the Granite State, after which he
took a fancy to sometimes write Colonel
before his name.
After his appointment by the governor
the author rapidly secured political pres
tige, being finally nominated for some high
Office. He apparently stood very good
chance OF being elected, but at this critical
period of his career disaster swooped down
on him in the form Of one of his old stories,
which he he'd sold to New York publish
ing house some years before.
The title Of the story was Long knife.
the Scalp Taker," end in more ways than
one it was hair raiser. The publishers,
having heard of the great honor conferred
on their talented contributor, took care to
prefix "Colonsp' to his genuine name. and
it is recorded that the author fell in q spasm
when he heheld the paper containing the
first installment of his story. q
Naturally 1t was not very long before the
gentleman's political opponents obtained
possession of the bloodcurdling tale and
straightway proceeded to make campaign
material Of it. Extracts from the story
were printed in many papers, the title be-
ing given and the name Of the author al
ways attached. the greatest care being tax
On not to omit the Colonel part of it.
The unfortunate would be politician knew
his hopes were ruined, and directly he in
dulged in heavy booze, appearing in
disgracefully Intoxicated condition at an
important political conclave. AS a result,
with the aid of ''Long Knife, - his scalp
was taken by his rival for the office, in
whose wigwam it was hung to dry, and the
disheartened and disgasted author retired
to private life and to grinding out blood
and thunder novels at SO much grind

lIany valuable medicinal properties were
formerly attributed to those substances
known as bezoar stones, morbid concretions
found in the stomach OF certain animals,
particularly the camel. They consist chiefly
of lithofellio acid and are still used in medi-
cine by Hindoo doctors.-London Tit-Bits.

Pure Nerve.

Pure Nerve.
There were four Of us who had encampeo
for the night on the Gunnison river Id
western Colorado. We had been prospect
ing for gold with decidedly poor success
and were therefore rather disheartened, but
we endeavored to keep up our spirits by
telling stories while we lay about the camp
fire and smoked.
Suddenly we were startled by peculiar
whirring sound, which every man OF us
recognized instantly.
There's RATHER in camp" cried JET
fries as he started up. Look out for it.
We all moved rather hastily, with the
exception of Bolton, who lay quite still on
his back, his hands under his head, his cob
pipe having fallen from his teeth.
sShp' he whispered. For Gods sake,
keep still The snake has crawled into my
shirtp'
We knew what that meant, and we be
came motionless instantly. felt chill OF
horror run down my spine as thought OF
the poisonous reptile Struggled to Bottoms
bosom, in which it might plant it's deadly
fangs in few moments. The har1ng IRE
light threw fantastic shadows on the black
canyon, wall, and the river murmured sui
lenly. Away in the night lone owl hooted
Not muscle of Bottoms body moved,
and it seemed that he had ceased to breathe.
The only motion apparent about his person
was caused by the snake crawling beneath
his shirt. We sat there, staring and help
less, unable to make move to save our
imperiled comrade.
After time the RATHER thrust his ugly
head out of the opening In the front OF
Bottoms shirt, lifting it over the mot1onless
mans face. We could see the reptiles
forked tongue darling out and his eyes
plittering while his head waved from side
to side.
Stiu Bolton remained moveless, knowing
the slightest action on his part might seal
his fate. We could see he was white as a
corpse.
jim Nevans, the best pistol shot Of our
party, drew his revolver, pressing on the
trigger as he cooked it so it might not
click
The snakes head was within six inches
of Bottoms eyes, and it seemed that the
yenomous creature might strike at any in
slant.
ssShall shoot, Dave?" softly asked New
ans.
"Shootr' was the only word Bolton ut
tered.
The cooked revolver was slowly lifted,
and every man held his breath. The weap-
on spoke, and the bullet cut the rattle
snakes head from it's body. Like flash
Dave Bolton leaped to his feet, tore the be
headed reptile from his bosom and flung it
into the fire. Then he sank down helpless,
almost fainting, great drops of perspiration
standing on his face.
But he had displayed pure nerve.
