SAVED BY HIS DAUGHTERS.
farmsr Fred Crabsnhorst Has a Fearful
Experence


BooNE, Ia, Feb. 9.-The family of
Fred Grabenhorst, living five miles
northeast of Ogden, this county, had
an experience with robber which they
will not soon forget. A fellow named
Joe Ross secreted himself in Graben-
horst's barn and when the latter came
from the house shot him, the shot taxi
ing effect in the arm. He tried to fire
again, but his seven-shooter missed fire
and Ross then went to clubbing Gr.a-
benhorst over the head. The farmer
cried for help and his wife and
two daughters, school teach
ers, rushed from the house
TO his assistance The elder girl
grabbed Ross by the wrist. while the
other, 16 years old, took the revolver
from him and began beating him over
the head with it. A terrible struggle
ensued. The mother was thrown clear
over a fence, but the two girls finally
overpowered Ross and bound him fast
with rope. He was taken into the
house and the youngest girl guarded
him while the other went to the
neighbors for help. Ross was
then brought to this city and
lodged in Jail. He came here from Des
Moines about two weeks ago and claims
that his home is in Pennsylvania. He
says that two other hard characters
living at the mines near here planned
the robbery and that he was compelled
to try and carry it out. His plan was
to kill the old man in the barn and then
kill the woman in the house. after
which he would have robbed the house,
where he supposed $500 or $500 could
be found.
Grabenhorst is not mortally wounded,
though his arm will probably have to
be ampltated.

wAsHlNoToN's MINIATURE.
A Valuable Portrait Of the First President
Now Owned bv a Baltimore Man.

Now Owned by a Baltimore Man.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 9.-In the autumn
Of 1850, the first year of his presidency
Of the United States, George Washing
ton commissioned John Ramage to
paint miniature of him on ivory.
General Washington was then in New
York, and had but short time before
recovered from dangerous illness
caused by carbuncle on the thigh.
Charles Henry Hart, Of Philadelphia,
an authority on Washington portrait
ure. in an article in 1889 on the Orig
lnal Portraits of Washington" says:
This artist, Ramage, was an Irishman,
and the principal miniature painter in
New York from 1877 until his death,
which occurred soon after he painted
the miniature of Washington. All trace
Of this interesting portrait is unfortu-
nately lost"
This portrait, it is fair to assume, is
now in Baltimore, and Is in the posses
sion of Harrison Stabler, a clerk in the.
National Bank of Commerce. 1t was
shown 10 Mr.. Hart at his Office in the
Drexel building in November, 1891.
.'Mr. Hart, said Mr.. Stabler in speak
ing of the matter, pronounced IL at
once the original Ramage miniature.
and fairly trembled as he looked at il.
lie examined il carefully and was pos
tive il was the original portal. I" -"
The history of the miniature is an
interesting one, and Is made more SO
by the fact that it is one of two or
three noted portraits of the great
patriot, the whereabouts of which have
never generally been known. Wash
ington gave sittings TO twenty-onc
artists, and Ramage was the eighth
who had the privilege of studying his
features and reproducing them. Until
two or three years ago. when 1t came
into the possession or MIR. Sta5isr, the
Ramage miniature had never been on
exhibition, and for more than fifty
years had never been outside of Lynch
burg, Va. 1t is oval and about "a
inches wide and Is mounted in gold.
Ramage was goldsmith as well as an
artist, and both the portrait and locket
are of exquisite workmanship. The
portrait was made by the straight-line
method, and Is upon a background Of
blue and green. The detail of the
work is microscopic. The whole face,
eyes, nose, mouth chin and forehead
shows the wonderful strength of the
man. II Is a face full Of character and
power, but not handsome. Ramage
evidently tried to paint the man. not
the Father of His Country" for his
portrait shows no attempt at idealism
as do those Of Trumbull and Gilbert
stuart, The face Is thinner than the
face shown in the Stuart portrait and
some other portraits, for Washington
when he sat for RSmagc, Had
evidently not thoroughly recovered the
lesh he had lost In the illness which
came near costing the country the life
OF It's first prezideut and its greatest
man. There has bean some discuzsion
