capturing Her.
Atlanta, Ca. Jan. 23.-For three hours
last night a full-grown African Honess
had undisputed possession of the desert
ed Midway at the exposition grounds. The
animal escaped from the Hagenback arena
and was captured only after the hardest
kind of work by the employees of the
place.
Last night the Hagenback people de-
cided to attend an entertainment in the
city. The arena in which the animals
are housed for the winter was left in
charge of a lone negro known as Pab.
Pab was instructed to put fresh straw
in the cages at 1890 o'clock. and was told
that the feeding would be attended to
when the trainers returned. At that
hour he approached the cage occupied
by ''Vic," one of Lorenzo's performing
lionesses. When he opened the door with
a roar that big animal leaped through and
daShing under the surrounding cages dis
appeared out OF the door. The negro reach
ed the door in time to see Vic" disappear
among the ruins of the midway. Then he
started to warn the few people whose bus
mess required their presence on the
grounds at that hour. When the employ
es and trainers of the arena arrived at the
gate half an hour later they found badly
frightened negro awaiting them. For two
hours the gang of trainers maneuvered to
get the lionesS into a corner Finally at
O'Clock this morning she was cornered and
successfully lassoed.

the knowledge that SO many forms of

Lemars, la.

A Curious Case That Is Now on Trial at
Lemsrs, la.
A breach of promise case against a
dead man is peculiar affair. but such is
the case of Hubner versus Reikhoff, now
on trial before Judge Frank r. Gaynor
in the district court of LIE Mars, la.
Mrs. Amanda J. Hubner, aged 36,
good looking and fairly educated, was
the housekeeper of William Reikhoff for
about two years shortly before his death,
which occurred in Lemars Sept. s, 1894.
He purchased fine residence in Lee
mars, furnished it richly, and installed
Mrs Hubner as housekeeper She served
in that capacity for several months and
then went home TO Grinnell. and Mr..
Reikhoffs daughter attended to the
household.
After the death of Mr.. Reikhoff his
last will showed he had not provided
for Mrs. Hubner and she began d suit
for $4,000 against the estate ON the
ground of breach of promise of mar
riage.
The deceased was scholar of rare at
tainments and very eccentric. He devot-
ed himself TO books, and declared that
he bad no time to read newspapers. One
of the wills that was produced in court
was literary gem. Several months be-
fore his death he had coffin construct
ed of two inch oak and lined with cop
per. In it he was buried at his old home
in Toledo, la. He had travelled much in
his later years and was writer upon
political and economic questions. He
was greatly beloved by his children and
by friends who penetrated his reserve
and eccentricity. Chicago Tribune.

The limited train came through Red
dick at o'clock in the morning and
stopped at water tank for few min
utes. so the bishop, accompanied by Rev.
Jacob Schwartz, pastor of the Reddick
church, drove to the tank and waited.
When the train came along, the veneer
able bishop mounted the steps of the last
sleeper just as the cars began to move.
But being incumbered by heavy satchel
he could not knock ON the vestibule cur

porter.
Faster and faster the train moved,
and the bishop, his flesh cut by the
keen sleet driven by strong wind, and
thoroughly drenched by heavy rain,
chung to the railing of the platform for
dear life. Station after station flew by
and the train showed no disposition to
stop, although the aged prelate prayed
that it might. But il was the limited,

Eng lewood, 40 miles from Reddick.

ON, although his senses were nearly

would surely lose his grip but he didn't,
and just as the train was drawing up to

porter happened TO look out.

he saw the white haired bishop balanc-

curtain, he seized the old man by the
shoulders and dragged him inside.

train rolled into the Dearborn station
he had almost recovered from his excit-
ing experience.
The bishop said that, although he had
travelled great deal, this was decidedly
the toughest trip of his life.--Cincin-
