The friends of Dovale Fontaine of
Norwalk, who started several months
ago to walk to San Francisco on bet of
81 900, believe that he is dead. Letters
and kilograms to San Francisco and
cities along the road have proved fruit
less. Fontaine's mother has been max
ing every effort to locate her son but has
become discouraged.

Moore at Ansonia, refuses to accept the

George Catlin, Who Was Assaulted by
His Insane Brother, is Dying
George Catlin, the young man who
was murderously assaulted by his broth
er Perley at his home in Harwinton
Thursday, is very low to-day, and the
doctors says that there is but a very
slight chance for recovery. Perley has
been taken to the insane asylum at Mid

CATION. Sutton leaves a large family.
The almost lifeless body of James
Walker of Jersey City, N. j., was found
last night in the hold of a coal barge of
which he was captain. There was every
indication of poisoning, and the physi-
clans at the New Haven hospital con,
firmed this. They declare it to be a case
of arsenical poisoning and do not be-
lieve that Walker can live. He was
last seen aboard his boat on Friday. II
is beyond doubt an attempt at suicide.
John Moriarty, aged IS, in going down
stairs at his residence in Willimantic
yesterday afternoon, made a missteI
and fell to the bottom breaking his
neck, being instantly killed.
Mrs John Kelly of Bridgeport had &
miraculous escape from horrible death
last night while crossing the tracks at

escape she failed to notice a train com
ing in the other direction and stepped il
front of it. The woman was hurled
through the air some distance and wher
picked up it was found that outside o.
her lett arm being broken she had sus
tanned no other injuries further than {
general shaking up.

Death valley, California, notwith-
standing its suggestive name, is the
abode of more curious and wonderful
specimens of animal creation than any
place of its size within the limits of the
United States. The oldest of these
creatures, perhaps, is species of rodent
called the kangaroo rat" which trav-
els from place to place by executing a
series of jumps or springs, almost in
exact imitation of his namesake of the
Australian wilds. Then, too, as though
it were natures purpose to make n
miniature of every larger piece of handi-
work, the same locality furnishes the
kangaroo mouse" a counterpart and
perfect pocket edition of the rat Be-
sides these kangaroo rodents there are
at least two other odd specimens of the
same genus in the California Valley of
Death-the pocket mouse" with little
pouches inside his mouth for slowing
away surplus food and the scorpion
mousse" which feeds wholly upon scor.
