The Devils Footprint.
Ry WILLIAM c. HILL.

On the turnpike leading from the
grlmy little mining town of Tracy to
the more elevated and refined village
of Monteagle, there is one of those
strange phenomena of nature which
have not been explained to the salts
faction of any one. The simple fact
Of il is, that as the road winds above
a narrow ravine, it crosses a rock
where appears clearly and distinctly
the imprint Of mighty foot. A
measurement would allow it some
six or, perhaps, seven feet for length
and correspondingIy one or two for
width. Close beside it is the half
print, as it were, which closely re.
sembles that Of the heel. There is
something very strange IN connec-
ton with these marks, for although
this road has been trayersed for
many years, these footprints show no
signs Of obliteration. AS is custom
airy with Ill such places, this Is rec
pguized by the popular name of the

In regard to this strange freak Of

SWISS HOME SEEKERS.

> w lSS HUM E-OEEN GA0'
Mr.. f. G. Robe tson, of Clncinna-
ia, has been in tie city for several
days looking after the interests of
the Swiss Pioneer Union, the new
colony to locate in Lewis County,
Tenn. He states that the title to the
land has been found to be sOmewhat
clouded, but will be cleared up in q
short time to the entire satisfaction
of all parties concerned, The title
is perfect to the greater portion Of
the lands in question and nothing re-
mains that cannot be made good.
The Swiss are very careful and want
everything just right before they
take hold. They settle on 100000.
ores at the start and have options on
as many more. They are very much
pleased with their New home and
have named it new Switzerland.
Some families will move to Tennes.
see this fall and the rest will come IN
the spring and next fall. There are
about 100 families belonging to the
colony at present, and new members
are joining continually. 1t will not
be long before they will have 200
families that will average five per-
sons to the family, which means 1000
added to the population of Tennes~
see. They expect to start cheese
factory among the first industries,
and establish such other industries as
are needed from time to time. These
people come mostly from the country
districts of the Northern and Yves,
tern States, and know what it is to
work and build home in an unde-
veloped country. They are Eone-
seekers, home-buiIders, and home.
! owners. The State will hear from
these people in future years.
Mr.. Robertson says that this is but
! the beginning of the good work, and
that he already has more than 100
families of Germans wanting to To-
cate in Tennessee. He expects to
bring a party of prospectors to this
State next week, and that others will
follow from time to time. His plans
for bringing new settlers and lnves-
tors to the various Southern State,
are proving very successful, and he
is kept busy travelling all the time
He does not handle lands with qpes'
, tionable titles, and would advise all
landowners to see that their abstract
is correct. The coming Cenlenia
, Is Tennessee's GREATEST opportunity

fractions for home, seekers. Tn

THOSE SHASTA QUAIL.
Behrens' Case Not Regarded as a Very
Serious One.

Serious One.
The other day the fact was published
in these columns that c. H. Behrens, a
hotelkeeper (and Constable) at Shasta,
had been complained of for having live
quails in his possession, contrary to
law. The matter being also reported
to State Commissioner Morrison, he
wrote to District Attorney Rose at Red
ding requesting him to give the case his
attention.
Mr.. Rose informs Commissioner Nor
rison that he has investigated the mat
ter and finds that Behrens has few
mountain quail that he keeps TO please
his little girl, and not for profit; that
the birds are very tame, and will not
leave the house when liberated. Beh-
renS, he says, is willing to do whatever
the State Commissioners direct-turn
the birds loose, or pay a fine-but asks
to be allowed to keep them, as the mem
bers of the family have become at
tached to their pets.
Yesterday Mr.. Morrison commune
Gated the facts to the other members of
the Fish and Game Commission, and
the board will again consult with Dis
trict Attorney Rose and advise him
what course to pursue. AS Behrens is
represented as being q responsible
business man and a good citizen, and
as the law authorizes the State Com
mssioners to grant permits to keep
live quail. under certain conditions, 1t
is quite likely such permission will be
given him.
