Inspector Of Mines, c. C. Woodson, of this
city. The people of Rich Hill, where he
formerly resided, and of his present. home,

threw away the heavy butt of cane which
for years had been its only support from
total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly
unhesi,atingly about the two cities. people
looked and wondered. The story of the re-
msrkabie csse has BE- come the marvel of the
two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Woo1soa told
it to Times reporter, it is here pub i,hed ;

No magician of the Far East ever wrought
