ALLIGATOR SHOOTING.
An Exciting Time Caused by the Bad

An Exciting Time Caused by the Bad
shot OF the Rihoman.
Mr.. Kirk Munroe in the Cosmopoi-
tan describes canoe trip in company
with two young Seminole Indians, Mic
cochee and Kowika, who were engaged
In their regular occupation Of hunting
alligators for their hides. The canoe
was dugout, made by Miccochee him
self out Of huge cypress log. The trio
made camp late in the afternoon, and
after awhile Mr.. Munroe discovered,
what he had not before suspected, that
the hunting was to be done at night
Darkness had hardly fallen before the
believing Of alligators was heard-a
sound much like the roar Of an angry
bull. Miccochee listened with evident
satisfaction. "Allapatta (alligator)

Miccochee welded his push-pole from

the canoe, while l, with jack-light on

position Of honor in the bow.
The alligators had ceased their NUT
terings, and had begun to think that
we had killed or frightened them all.

The Lihhy Prison WAR Museum.


OF the many attractions outside OF the
worlds fair in Chicago, there are but lew
in which there is 80 much interest center
ed as in the Libby Prison war museum.
In 1880 this celebrated prison was remov-
ed from Richmond TO Chicago and con-
yer,ed into war museum. The project
was undertaken by syndicate Of the best
known business men Of the city, whose
enterprise was conceived in commercial
spirit, but has attained national reputa-
ton. A project such as this was never be-
fore heard Of. To move brick and stone
building the size Of Libby prison more
than thousand miles, across rivers and
mountains, was an enterprise that many Of
the best known contractors In the west re-
fused TO undertake at any price. But the
move was made with success. Then the
famous old structure was filled with wsr
material that represents the work OF q
lifetime and the expenditure Of half q
million dollars The great collection Is
conceded to be second to none in the
country and includes much Of the most
valuable material that the greatest civil
war tLe world has ever known has left to
posieri,y. The collection includes ,hous-
ands and thousands Of relics Of every dee
cripiion, many Of which form important
links 10 the history of the nation. The
old building itself is frauSht with inter
esting memories and the story Of the Gel
sbraied tunnel escape Of February 0, 1884,

TUESDAY MORNING. MARCH Z, 1888.

George A. Pettibone and other striking
coeur D'Alene miners in Idaho against
the United States, the court decided
in favor Of the miners, and directed
that the Indictment against them be
quashed.
These cases grew out Of the riots
at the wardner mines. The court at
that time had granted injunctions re-
stricting the strikers from interfering
with the men, and 1t was alleged that
Pettibone and others conspired to vio-
late the laws Of the United States. The
court holds that the indictment under
which they were convicted of this
charge Is defective in that 1t was not
shown that the men had knowledge Of
the order of the court. Justices Brew
