Major Moore, chief Of peliec OF the
District Of Columbia, took the stand.
He arst met Miss Pollard, accompanied
b- Breckenridge, at his ofiice, May l3,

said he might have to ask my protec-

marry her, and seemed excited. She
demanded that he name the day. He
named May 81, 1898. He said he would
marry then if Providence spared bis
life."
Witness warned Misc Pollard that she
must not make threats against Colonel
Breckinridee's life as the police would
deal with her. May 17#h, in the wit

was pregnant through relations with
him; that she WAS going; TO New York to
prepare for the event aT d he intended to
marry her. "He asked me to witness

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Bullet Passed Through st. Louis Mans
Brain, and Yet He Recovered.

Brain, and Yet He Recovered.
Emil yu:<rtrs- -sL--------.-:--a- q cot
at the City hospital for over two months
with bullet in his brain, is now walk
ing about nearly as we'll as any one and
will be discharged cured man in the
course of a few days.
Witzky's case is one of the most re-
markable that ever came under the no
tice of st. Louis surgeons. 1t is much
stranger than that of the man lesson,
who attempted to commit suicide in
Forest park year ago. lesson fingered
between life and death about month,
but finally died from the effects Of the
bullet, which lodged in the center of
his head. lesson never got up from his
bed after sending the leaden pellet into
his brain, and for that matter was un-
counscious nearly all the time. Witzky
is as rational as any man walking the
streets. He shot himself over the left
eye after having trouble with his wife
and mother-in-law.
From the paralysis it caused in his
right leg DR.. Marks decided that the
ball lodged in the back of his head on
the left side. The jagged hole in the
forehead finally healed over, and after
remaining in half dead state for near
ly week Witzky came to. He was not
able to move for fully month on ao-
count of the paralysis. No sensation
was in the right leg whatever. Needles
could be thrust into it. or it could be
pinched or burned without his feeling
the pain. Three or four weeks ago the
paralysis began to disappear. 1t was
thought strange indeed by DR.. Marks
and the other physicians, for the bullet
had not been removed, and no reason
was apparent for the "deadness" to dis
appear, Yet go away it did, and since
that time his recovery has been steady
as clockwork. How that 3S caliber bull
let plunged through six or eight inches
of his brain and remained resting among
the tissues without causing instant death
or perpetual idiocy passes the compre-
hension of every scientific man who has
heard of his case.-St. Louis Globe

AsToNIsHEp INDIANS.

They Thought a Red-Haired Paie.acs
Something of Freak of Nature.
twenty years ago the Indians in
/ Colorado knew but little of the white
man. and nothing hardly of his ways
CIR habits except from tradition.
Among the people wEo went TO settle
in Colorado at that time, says
Golden Days. was man with very red
hair He and his party were thrown
among the Indians. who thought ut
first that his hair was painted. just as
they painted their own bodies and
faces.
An old chief came up to him one day
and lool:ed at his hair very carefully.
''Ughr' said he.
And then, turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge, he
wanted him To ask the man where lie
got the kind OF paint that would color,
and yet not be greasy or look dauby
lie was told that the mans hair was
not painted, but he would not
believe it. He once more walked
up to the man and scrutinized
his locks, running his hand through
wv IA anu ipbh4tE at Ms iliEtES.
The red-haired man became little
nervous. and half fancied thatthe chief
was calculating how nice a red scalp
would look hung to his belt The in
terpreter, however. laughingly told the
man what the chief had said
Two or three more Of the Indians
then gathered around the party. and
they and the interpreter had pow
WOW. Finally the interpreter asked
the man if he would object to putting
water on his hair.
He saw that the Indians would not
believe but that it was painted, until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water rubbed it on his hair and
then showed his hands to them. But
it took four or five days of wondering
examination 10 convince them that he
had not found some peculiar paint, and
got himself up in a bright red suit of
hair.

USEFUL ALLIoAToRs.

They Are Valuable as Destroyers of rroub-
tesome Rodents.
The bayous of Louisiana were form
erly the homes of alligators without
number They did no particular harm,
except by catching stray pig or dog
now and then: nor were they known
to be of any particular use. The peo-
pie. for the most part, let them alone.
Then there sprang up at the north a
demand for alligator skins for the
making of satchels, pocketbooks and
the like, and the natural result fol-
lowed. The alligators were killed in
great numbers, till presently they were
almost destroyed.
No harm was done, people thought;
but by and by it began to be noticed
that certain mischievous quadrupeds
were multiplying. In the rice fields,
according to a Louisiana exchange, the
muslxrats increased in such numbers
that ii became hard work to keep up
the back levees. which had been built to
keep the water ON the rice during the
growing season. What perhaps was
more serious, the same burrowing ro-
dents infested the front levees, and
nothing but constant watchfulness
averted disastrous consequences.
Then market gardeners began to
complain of an alarming increase in
the number of rabbits, raccOons and
other animals which proved upon the
caulifower. cabbage, lettuce and SINH
lar vegetables. Some of the gardeners
were compelled to inclose their gar
dens with close wire fences, or else
abandon the cultivation of some of
their most profitable crops.
The alligators had not been useless,
and the people had learned anew that
it is dangerous to go too fast and too
far in disturbing the order of nature.
