FURBEC& NO ENDORSEMENT,

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Again referring to the alleged endorse
ment of Furbeck's nomination by the
Order of Railway Conductors: wish to
say that the statement is false, and is
only made by persons ignorant of the
laws governing the order, and for the
purpose of catching the railway vote.
Ny experience am ong railway en-
ployes shows me plainly that so palpable
slur upon their intelligence will be
deeply resented by them at the polls.
Yours truly, Z. w. WRIGHT.

HOW A STAGE GoEs-n'gUREs

Brete Harte is always charming in his
descriptions, and his picture of a noun
tain stage will appeal to all who have been
churned IN one. Il occurs in an interest
ing story entitled ''An IDgenue of the
Sierras" He writes:
The huge vehicle swayed from side to
side, rolled, dipped and plunged, but Bill
kept the track, as it, in the whispered
words OF the expressman, he could feel
and smell" the road ne could no longer
see. We knew that at times we hung
perilously over the edge of the slopes that
eventually dropped a thousand feet sheer
10 the tops OF the sugar pines below, but
We knew that Bill knew it also. The half
visible heads OF the horses drawn wedge
wise together by the frightened reius, APP
peared to c!eaye the darkness like "a plough
share, held between rigid hands. Even the
Dsats or the six horses had fallen into a
vague, monotonous distant roll. Then
the ridge was crossed aud we plunged into
the stl!l backer obscuTity of the brush.
Rather we no longer seemed TO mOve-it
was only the phantom night that rushed
by Us. ct even IN that awful moment
our speed was unslackened. 1t was as If

machine was determined By other hands
than his. An IncautIOus whisperer haz-
arded the paralyZing suggestion of our
meeting another team To cur great
establishment, Bill overheard it; TO our
greater establishment, he replied: st "ud

Struggle With A Lion
A Trained Animal Attacks His Keeper
in a Museum.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Wallicker Suddenly Springs Upon His
Nubian Keeper. Who Is Rescued After
Hard Struggle by the Attendants
Who Flock About the Cage.
BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Nov. 26-Harring'
toms museum was the scene of very
exciting occurrence tonight. Among
the attractions this week is trained
lion, named Wallicker, in charge Of a
Nubian, Veno. The latter enters the
lions cage at every performance. About
10 o'clock this evening when the Nubian
went into the cage the lion suddenly
sprang upon him. Before he could es-
cape the enraged beast struck him down
with his paw and jumped upon him,
fastening his teeth in the mans arm.
He yelled with pain and fright.
The large audience became panic
stricken. Men, women and children
made mad rush for the door, fearing
that the lion would break out and at
tack them. Meantime the attendants,
arming themselves with whatever came
to hand, surrounded the cage and en-
deavored to beat the lion away from his
victim. The taste of blood had wrought
him up to a state of fury and 1t was
some time before they succeeded in
driving him into corner. When Veno
was liberated he presented bloody
sight. His right arm was badly lacer-
ated, his hand bitten clear through, and
his clothing almost torn from his body,
He will recover, however, although the
wounds are very painful.
This lion is one of the fiercest in cap
tivity. He killed three men, it is said,
during the last season, while in the
Southern states.
