A Milbank dispatch Of July 30, states
that "The Grant county court house in
this city was burned to the ground
about 5 o'clock this morning. The build
ing was a S25 600 structure and was in
sured for $1,000 and $500 upon the furni-
ture and books. But one or two Of the
register Of deeds books were consumed,
but many Of the treasurer's and audi
tors books and the clerk of court and
probate filings were destroyed. The
books in the probate and clerks office
remained uninjured in the safe. Coun-
ty Judge Owen loses his law library
and furniture to the value of $500, with
out insurance, and County Attorney
Lockhart also loses his law books. The
q. A. X. post and woman's relief corps
lose all their effects. All indications
point to the fire as Of lncendlary origin"
The statement that the building was
worth the $4,000 is a little of color as it
was not worth over $1,000 when it was
built, nearly fifteen years ago. But the
building OF thas court house and its at
tending villalnies saddled a debt of
100000 upon Grant county which she
has not yet been able to pay off. The
burning OF the old shell will awaken
many unpleasant memories.

Queer Thin1s In GEORGIA.

Colonel @. L. Williford of Madison
has in his possession a silver quarter
that has a history. 1t was coined in
1891, and was cut out Of a mules shout

Waters, who got Mr.. Ainslie to make
the operation. He inserted his knife and
found a hard substance, which he ex-
tracted with little trouble, and which he
found to be the above mentioned quarter.
The operation was performed in the

negroes. How the quarter ever got there

1t is now generally believed that the
gold mine found near Indio, on the
desert, by the McHaney brothers, is the
Pegleg mine, found by Pegleg Smith

quartz, old workings, human bones,
kind of gold, richness and location in

Mrs. Louis Kirshoffer Of Orange, N.

n hound belonging to her husband went
mad, broke his chain and made IA dash
at one of Mrs. Kirshoffer's SONS. He tore
the boys clothes, but fortunately did not
bite hard enough to break the skin.
Mrs. kirshoffer rushed to her sons aid,
and the dog turned on her and bit her,
but her clothes were too thick for him
to break the skin. She then picked the
dog up by the collar, carried him to the
c~ellarWay, threw him down tho steps
and closed the. door. Mr.. Kirshoffer
came home later and shot him.

An Encounter With . wildcat.

Harry Prutzman of Leesport, a brake
man on the Pennsylvania railroad, had
an exciting adventure this week on
Frisker's mountain, neal Gouglersville.
He had a day off and vas out picking
huckleberries.
He came to a mountain spring and
lay down on his stomach to take a drink.
While in this position a wildcat sprang
out of a tree above him and alighted
upon his back. The animal sank it's
claws deep into his flesh, causing great
pain. Having no weapon to defend him
self, his chances seemed very slender for
coming out Of the contest with the vi
cious animal alive.
However, he turned, and after a des-
perate struggle succeeded in throwing
the animal from him and regaining his
feet. It Immediately sprung upon him
again, tearing his clothing and rending
his flesh with it's sharp claws. After
several encounters, which greatly weak
ened and fatigued him, he managed to
deal the animal a sound kick, which
sent it away some distance and gave
him an opportunity to grasp a club,
which was lying near. With this he
managed to keep it at bay, and after a
duel Of about ten minutes it apparently
became tired Of the attack and moved
away, when Prutzman escaped -Phila-
