WRECK OF THE BETSY D.
She Ran Into a Sea Serpent and Foun
dered.
From the Chicago Times.


I'm the fall of 1862" began Uncle Bob,
81 was q passenger on board the Marguerite,
homeward bound from Natal. Perry was
the captains name, and the mate was Tom
Harding, a short, thick-set, brown-co
plexioned, bushy-whiskered old sailor,
loaded TO the muzZle with sea yarns, which
he would fire Of at you at the slightest
spark of encouragement Well we had
got along pretty close 10 the island of St
Helena when Ton began talking 70 me
about a sea serpent he had once seen on
this very identical spot. What he told me
] will repeat as nearly as / can remember
in his own words:
81 calc late said Harding, 1T war Just
about heer as witnessed the wonderfulest
sight / ever see in my life. 10 war In the
old brig Betsy 3. four years ago, and we
war lying becarmed in just about this
latitood. AS there war nothin' TO be did
but wait for wind, we war loungin' about,
all bein' quiet and still, when along about
six bells the stiffness was broken By a
shout from the lookout aloft.'
"'Well, jackson, what is it," asks the
captain.
Extraordinary appearance on our
weather bow, Capt. Morgan, sir, says
jackson.
"'What's It look likeY

nothin. There ant no such thing he
says, like that, says he. Most like It's an
old hulk coated with sea drift, or mebbe O
line o. prancin' pOrpusses, says he.
Just at that moment a man on the bow
yells out that he secs the critter, and the
captain he ran for'ard with me after MIN.
There war some thick clumps Of yaller fog
ahead, and the sea sarpint war just agoin'
out Of sight into one OF 'em. But we caught
a glimpse Of the beast, and dash my grand
mothers cats tail II he didn't leave hole
IN the water behind him as big as q Colora-
der canyon.
"Hang me- yelled the captain, II I
don't think he's changed his course and is

INDIANS LOVE GAMBLING.


They Will Bet Big sums, Even on the
Death of a Friend.
The gambling instinct among Iudi-
ans seems rather to be increased than
otherwise by civilization, and more than
one. Cherokee who drew at Tahlequah
recently for himself. his wife and his
children quite a large sum of money in
full discharge of his personal interest
in the Cherokee strip came near losing
every dollar of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
Vas exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulative recipients were standing to-
gether near the post office. A boy was
seen coming along the street on a
bucking pony. For so young a boy he
held his seat well, but it seemed eX-
ceeding probable to the onlookers that
before he got the pony home he would
either he thrown or would have 20 get
off. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement, and
finally one man bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
boy would be thrown before he got
past them.
The bet was accepted with vicious
eagerness. and as they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirled round,
bucked, sat down on its launches, and
did everything else that was ever
known to n trick horse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement of
their argument. Finally the horse,
despairing of any other means of get
ting rid of its rider, leaped in the air
and fell on its side, knocking half the
life out of the boy, and then rolling
completely over him. An alteration,
of course, followed as to which had
won the bet. The plucky boy hung on
to the horn of his saddle, although ap-
parently fatally injured. He neither
fell off nor got off, but was lifted off
the furious animal by half a dozen men
who rushed quickly to the rescue. Eff
forts were made to quiet the two In
and the suggestion that the bet
be declared off was freely made. As
each man declined to pay the other,
this was the final outcome of the af-
fair; but the wagering of such a COM
paratively large sum over such an in
significant event shows that specula-
ton will always be more or less pop
ular with the average Indian.-St.

There mas been a great deal said
about ring masters and ring rule in
the Republican party of this county.
but a greater mistake or Il more false
charge waS eve made. There has
been no attempt made by any ma or
set Of men to control or c~ounter-act
the will and wish Of the Republican
voters of this county in their selection
of candidates for the coming election.
and the action OF the convention held
in this city last Saturday proves the
assertion.
There each precinct selected lis own
delegates 10 the county convention,
without dictation. let or hinderance.
So that there could BE- no stocking the
