STRUCK WITH AN IDEA.
How a Gibson County Farmer Got Even
With Some Thieving CoOns.

How a Gibson County Farmer Got Even
With Some Thieving CoOns.
A Memphis drummer relates the
following coon story to a CONNER
cial reporter:
Last winter meat was very scarce
in the vicinity of Milan, and En-.
Baker, an industrious farmer, saw a
chance to speculate. Hitching up
his four-horse wagon he drove to
Fulton, KY, and purchased large
quantity of bacon sides. While in
the vicinity Of Martin, ON the re-
turn trip, he camped for the night
Snugly wrapped in blankets by the
side Of a roaring fire, he lay undis-
turbed until morning. Goingto his
wagon ON arising he was Mortified
to find every vestige of his bacon
stock gone. Looking out over a TO-
acre field he saw the surface of the
ground literally alive with coons,
The thievish animals had stolen the
meat, carried it to the field where
it was consumed. But providence
/
was on the side of Baker. On the
previous day the ground had thaw-
ed, forming a slush. The coons re-
NAMED too long, and were frozen in.
Baker was struck with an idea,
Whetting his old buck-horn handle
knife to a razor edge, he went upon
the army of coons and slit the hide
from the nose to the rear of the head
Putting an extra charge in his ole
musket he fred. The result was
startling. Each coon jumped out
of his skin, leaving farmer Baker il
possession. The sale of the hides
recompensed him for the loss of the
meat, and he now regards himself
as the only coon hunter in those
parts"

HOW A RUN WAS STOPPED.
Silver Dollars Heated Red-Hot and Hand
ed Out With A Ladle.

San Diego Cali SUM-
Horace McPhee, who is here as
Riverside County commissioner,
says there was no furry whatever
about the bank of Elsinore. The
people knew that the bank was safe
and were willing to let lit remain so.
And then McPhee told story
which is particularly pat at these
times. He said there was a run on
O bank in an iron mill town and
the depositors were being paid in
silver dollars. The excitement in
creased and the run became fast
one. The cashier was young r.
ishman and the work put upon him
was more than he liked. He re-
solved to stop it. He sent the jan
itor with a bushel of silver dollars
into the rear room where there was
a stove, with instructions to cheat
them silver dollars red-hot." They
were heated, and in that condition
were handed out with a ladle. The
depositors grabbed the coin, then
kicked. "But you'll have to take
it that way," said the cashier. awe
are turning them out as fast as We
can melt and mold them, and if you
won't wait till they cool you'll have
to take them hot" That settled it
The run was stopped. McPhet
says the story is true, but denies
that he was the Irish cashier.

IN THEIR OWN TRAP.
How Three Australians Attempted tho
Capture of Bush Ranger.

Age-Herald.l
Power was a well known Aus
tralian robber, or "bush ranger" as
such outlaws are called at the an
tipodes. He had made himself the
terror of all the settlements, and so
defiant did he become that the gov
ernment offered a thousand pounds
for his capture or proof Of hisdeath.
Stimulated by this hope of re-
ward, three young men, clerks in e
Sydney bank, planned to spend
their vacations in capturing the
outlaw, with a view to the reward.
Before starting off they provided
themselves with three good saddle
horses and as many rifles and tpis-
tolls as they could handle.
In addition to these preparations
the clerks had also with them an
accurate description Of Power, Sc
that they were entirely sure that
they would recognize him on sight.
They were looking for heavily
bearded, roughly attired man, who
rode roam horse. They therefore
had no suspicion when on entering
the forest near the Blue Mountains
they were joined by good looking,
smoothly shaved man, who rode
thoroughbred bay.
The stranger made himself SO
agreeable as to gain the confidence
of the young men, who told him OF
their purpose and Of their certainty
of capturing Power and taking him
back to Sydney tied to his horse
like pack of wool.
That night after they had en-
camped and eaten supper the affa-
BILE stranger suddenly assumed a
new role. With revolver in each
hand he faced the dazed young
men and said: Gentlemen, I am
Power. Now, obey me or 1 will
shoot fast and sure"
"What must we do?" asked one
Of the young men.
First throw your rifles and pis-
tolls into the fire."
This order was speedily complied
with.
"Now throw every stitch of
clothes you have with you after
your arms"
Soon the clothes were burning,
and the three trembling wretches
stood before the implacable man
with the pistols.
When this was donehe tied them,
one at a time, on their own horses,
, and then, taking off the brides, he
: I.sent them, Mazeppa like, back to
) Sydney. On the pommel Of one Of
| the saddles was found pinned a Bit
ofpaper with these words: "Powers
: sends with these things his compli,
: ments to the governor and suggests
!. more reward and better men"

A TIME TO SAW WOOD.
When we Employ Our Time to Serve Our

Kansas City Journal
1t is the man who industriously
"saws wood" who arrives at the OBJ
jective point with the greatest de-
gree of certainty. 1t is the individ-
ual who is always getting ready to
make money who does most Of the
talking in the world. The man
who is never seen on the street cor
ners discussing grave public ques-
tions is the one who is making the
best of the situation and is doing
something to keep his wheels NOV
ing. If he has steady employment
he does his work as we'll as he can,
tries to make good use of his in
come, and finds that he has no time
for grumbling.
Ii he is dependent upon his own
efforts for the employment of his
time, he is looking around for the
main chance, knowing full we'll in
times like these that the man who
"saws wood is most likely to come
out at the head of the procession
when the agitation is at an end and
those who have taken their time to
to do talking finally turn their at
tention to business. This does not
apply to that class of curbstone pro-
phets who are never known to toll
spin, or look with favor upon any
thing save an invitation to drown
their sorrows at the nearest bar
Them we always have with us
Sunshine and shadow alike fine
them busy at their calling. The
public welfare has little interest il
their going or coming.
But there are thousands to-day
who would better serve their owl
best interests and, the good Of thu
community as well, if they would
use whatever means they have to
gether with their best energies, i
they would bottle up their wisdom
on the questions which are suppos
ed to be delegated to the Statesmen
at Washington and to those wh'
make a business, and money, b,
educating the public, and going t,
work. A little money will go fur
ther now in buying, building, ant
almost anything else than at an,
previous time in the history of th
West. They who "saw wood vii
be counted as the wise ones of til
period.

LINcoLN's ASSASSINATION.
Some New Light Touching the Tragedy of
Twenty Eight Years Ago.


quenched out the life of President
Abraham Lincoln, it seems from
the following that the public has
not heretofore been aware of very
material fact connected with it, that
is Booths motive. Further testi-
mony is also given as to Mrs. Sur
rats innocence. Lieut.. James B.
Jamison, of Lake Como, Putnam
County, Fla, who commanded the
body-guard of President Lincoln
until it was assigned to other duty
about two weeks before the assas-
sination, and who was called into
the room in which Mr.. Lincoln was
carried after being shot and saw
him breathe his last, said recently
upon the subject to a reporter of
the Philadelphia Times:
"I have seen in print many sto-
ries of the plot against Lincoln's
life, many Of them blaming the
South, but never the true one. The
facts are that Booth had a very dear
actor friend named Anderson, who
was condemned to be shot as a spy.
Prior to that time Booth and Lin
coin had been friends. A strong
effort was made in Anderson's be-
half, SO strong that a Cabinet meet
ing was held, and in some way
Booth managed to appear at the
meeting and plead with tears in his
eyes for his friends life. He left
the meeting with the understand
ing that the sentence would be COM
muted to Imprisonment. Anderson
was shot the following morning at
sunrise. Booth was frenzied with
rage, and it was as a result Of this
that the plot to kill not only Lin
coin, but the entire Cabinet, was
formed. There was more than one
man prepared to shoot that night,
and if the courage of the man to
whom was entrusted the duty of
turning out the theater lights had
not failed him, there would have
been a general slaughter. The
South had nothing to do with Pres
ident Lincoln's assassination, and,
moreover, Mrs. Surratt, who was
hanged for completely in the crime,
was an innocent woman. | know
it to be fact that Chief Of Secret
Service Baker on his death con.
fessed to Secretary Stanton that
Mrs. Surratt was hanged on per-
! jured evidence"
This is decidedly an impressive
narrative, giving as it does to the
American people and the world al
entirely new theory from any here
tofore mentioned and based, az
claimed, upon personal knowledge
as to the motive of the volcanic
Booth for enacting the terrible
tragedy. The theory, however
which initiates against the abso
lutte acceptance of the CORRECTNESS
of the report, and suggests tina
there may be a mistake somewher,
about it, is the fact that the inform
alton was not given to the public
quarter of a century ago. Booth
real motive for his desperate act ha
heretofore remained a mystery t.
the American people.
The most probable theory plac
ed it upon his volcanic character
coupled with the excitement of tn
J times. There never was, however
the slightest pretext for attributin
} the deed to Southern influence O
desire. The South was as muc
shocked and as regretful of tn
tragedy as the North. The state
, ment as to the innocence of Mr.
, Surratt is simply adding new test
