Two Adventists Predicting the End OF the
World In Adams County.
PEBBLES, o., Jun 23.-The people in
the eastern part of this (Adams) coun.
ty are considerably worked up over the
preaching of two Adventists, who made
their appearance in the neighbor
hood of Mineral Springs about
two weeks ago. The men ap
pear to be about sixty years OF
age, wear long gray hair and
have the appearance of prophets,
which they claim to be. In their
preaching they claim that in these days
of distress and unrest there are many
who think they see signs of the APP
preaching dissolution of time; tEat
soon there will come visitations that
will remove all but the elect from the
world, and that the millennium is
about to dawn. The prophets claim
to be of the elect. The eX-
citement in the vicinity is equal to
that of the ''Millerite" period, and
farmers are neglecting their work and
crops to attend the meetings, and be-
lieve that earthly labor is now useless;
that the signs of the times point to the
second coming of the Saviour into the
world. The men were accompanied by
two women, who deserted them one
night this week.

HARD TO KILL.
An Instance of the AlligatOr's Tenacious
Hold Upon Life.

Hold Upon Life.
An alligator's tenacity of life is re-
markable. | have no doubt that when
it's brain is pierced by bullet the ami
NAL does not long survive, but it sinks
into deep water where it cannot be
seen. | never succeeded in killing and
bagging an alligator by a shot in the
brain. The structure of the skull pro-
vides so much protection to the brain,
and bullet might easily be DETECTED
by the hard bones. 1t was not my
vocation to go about killing alligators,
but on one occasion | was witness to
the great difficulty of taking the ami
mails life.
View on shooting party near the
Pointee indigo factory, on the Ganges,
and one day when we returned from
our mornings round in the jungles,
after deer and always possible tiger
or wolf, we found that some fisher
men had brought in an alligator about
six feet long. securely bound on bull
lock cart. The animal was still alive
but had evidently been severely beaten
to make him quiet on the bullock cart.
so the order was given to tie stout
rope around its loins and to turn it into

itself while we We're taking our baths
and our breakfast.
breakfast over, the alligator was
hauled out of the tank. and was quite
lively, so that it had to be fastened to-
ii tree. Then operations for killing it
began. but bullets from Il small rifle or
an ordinary twelve-bore gun seemed
only to irritate it. A Sontal brought
large spear, one of the lato venabula
fcrro which they use. and drove it down
the alligators throat into it's vitals.
and this had more effect, while another
man got an AK and chopped away at
the neck till the head was separated
from the body. The body was then cut
open and the heart was lying on the
ground by its side, but still the tail
continued to move. But here we with
drew. and the mob of Sontals, who had
been eagerly waiting, rushed in with
their knives and cut up the body and
ate everything eatable. so that in
short time there was nothing left but
the skin and bones.-Longiuan's Maga-

TARsNEY KIDNAPPED.
Tnken From His Hotel After Mid
night in a Closed Carriage,
Hc Is Spirited Away and Coat OF Tar and
Feathers Applied to Him--Revolvers
Wero Used to Prevent Interference
Reward OF $1,000 offered.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. June o5.-
Probably the most glaring outrage con-
nected with the recent trouble at Grip
pie Creek was committed shortly after
midnight Saturday morning. Adjt.-
Gen. Tarsncy, of the Colorado State
National Guard, who was stopping at
the Alamo hotel, was called from his
room shortly after IL o'clock and in
formed that some party at Cripple Creek
wished to speak to him over the tele-
phone. When Gen. Tarsney appeared
behind the clerks desk to answer the
alleged call, he was suddenly con-
fronted by a masked man, armed with
two revolvers, who requested him to
accompany him. The hotel clerk in
the meantime had been placed under
guard Of one of the kidnapers. Tars-
ney Immediately called for help, and
was as quickly clubbed into submis-
sion with a revolver, and almost in
stantly several more of the lsidnapers
appeared and carried him to the side
walk, where two closed carriages un-
der guard were in waiting.
The embarkation was the work of
only a moment and then ensued wild
ride east on Cucharas and north on
Weber street then east to Austin
Bluffs, at the city limits. On each of
the drivers boxes sat one of the mob
with drawn revolver who saw that the
hack drivers promptly obeyed orders.
Arriving on the open prairie at Austin
Bluffs Gen. Tarsney was removed from
the carriage and stripped nude, and a
coat of tar and feathers was adminis-
tered. The ringleader of the kidnap-
ers had previously given orders that
Tarsney was not to be abused This
order seems to have been obeyed, after
the general was subdued by clubbing
Mt the hotel
After tar and feathering Gen. Tars-
ney the mob warned him against re-
turning to the springs. While the mob
were at the hotel Police Officer Agard
heard the calls for assistance and while
on the way to render aid was stopped
by another member of the tarring
party and compelled at the point of
a revolver to halt until the balance of
the mob had secured their man. In
less than ten minutes after the hacks
had departed three mounted police
started in hot pursuit of the abduc-
tors. One of these officers who struck
the right trail and came up with the
mob also had the experience of looking
down the muzzle of villainous gun.
He was ordered to surrender, which he
promptly did, and was an involuntary
witness of the dastardly outrage.
DENVER, Col, June 23.-Gov. Waite
is greatly excited over the outrage
committed upon adjt. Gen. Tarsney at
Colorado Springs early Saturday morn
ing. He has offered. reward of $1,000
for the arrest and conviction of any of
the participants.
