He Forwarded an Eye to he Examined
for Color Rlindaess.
1t is reported that a short time ago
an order was issued on one of the lines
of the Pennsylvania company for all sec
tion men to come to the Office on GER
tain day and have their eyes examined,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The fol-
lowing day a number Of men appeared
and passed the examination. Just be-
fore the man who had charge OF the
tests left the office a messenger boy
came hurrying in with a small pack
age neatly tied up and addressed to the
eve inspector. The latter opened 1t and
was surprised to find a glass eye
wrapped up in tissue paper and also an
old-fashi0ned silver watch.
The contents Of the package proved
a puzzle to the inspector until he I'M
folded hastily scrubbed note, which
ON being deciphered was found to read
as follows:
"Oye inspector: Dear Sir-The day

tnat tlme tneTe was
no one along the southwest border but
had heard of t..is wonderful city.
1t was said to be situated In the very
heart Of Navajo land.
That it was the lost city of Cibolo
everyone agreed.
The Indians declared the country
haunted by giant phantoms.
Old hunters, who had ventured far
dnto the Navajo country, told thrill
ing stories of seeing its glittering
towers far across great desert on
which no human being could live.
While we were led to take some stock
in the mysterious city, we laughed at
the tale of the deadly desert.
Old Dave Handy was our guide.
Dawes age no man could tell. but his
hair was white as hoar-frost, while his
step was as elastic as that Of youth
not past 20.
Old Dawes pard, Apache Jack, claim
ed to have crossed the deadly desert
and reached the wonderful city.
He told marvellous tales of the treas
ure he HAD seen there, where the walls
of the houses were overlaid with gold
and silver. and the towers encrusted
with precious stones.
He even exhibited curiously-chased
ornament of gold which he claimed to
have brought away from the land OF
wonder.
1t had been his intention to return
to the city with sever i comrades anu
bring away enough Of the treasure TO
make them all rich.
But the fever got into Jacks bones,
and he lay down to die in Santa Fe.
I think now that the man was de-
ranged.
Where he obtained the golden orna-
ment cannot imagine. but that he
saw in Navajo land what we afterward
beheld l have no doubt.
In his dying moments he must have
believed that he had reached the
Golden CITY"
He told Old Dave how to find the dead
desert.
Dave was not fool enough to try to
penetrate alone into the Businesses OF
the Navajo country.
He took along six companions, OF
which l was one.
Avoiding all dangers, we had pene-
trated to the very heart Of the reser-
vatjnn.
There, Old Dave declared we must
come upon the dead desert.
Riding through mountain gap we
cane. to the open country beyond.

Looking Out foi Mrs. Grundy.

All the world that inhabits certain
New Jersey town is talking just now
of the following incident:
A spinster aged 81 years recently
announced her engagement of marriage
to a man aged so years. The spinster
owns, among other goods and chattels,
handsome country residence several
miles from the New Jersey town. Some
time since she invited her intended
spouse to pay an afternoon visit with
her at this residence. She was. how
ever, anxious not to shock the proprie-
ties in any way. She, therefore, in
sisted that they must have chaperon,
and, with this object, widow aged 30
years was persuaded to accompany the
pair.
There is nothing like due regard for

Dave was in advance.
A cry broke from his lips,

Dave was In advance.
A cry broke from his lips,
Thar she am"
We urged our horses forward, and
the spectacle that dawned on our view
caused us to gasp for breath and sit
uuivering on our jaded animals.
I'VE had found the wonderful city!
It rose d the open plain before us,
far out, yet near enough to cause us
to wonder at the tales of the perils en-
countered in crossing the desert.
Thirty minutes, or, at most, an'hour's
sharp riding must bring us to Its great
wall.
The buildings were magnificent in
size
We could see towers, and balconies,
and gates, and parapets, and spires,
and columns Of temples.
the sun, hanging low, glittered on
ne kilded domes and flashed from the
vilvsry spires.
In the midst of the city was mighty
temple, lifting itself high above all
the other buildings, magnificent
structure that filled us with awe.
tn to that minute l do not believe
one Of us firmly believed he would
ever set eyes on the wonderful city.
But we had found it at last. =
"a We were spellbound.
For long time we remained notion
jess, staring, staring, staring.
"Hurrah!
The shout burst from Old Dawes lips.
He plunged his spurs deep into the
horse he bestrode.
~ We followed his example.
Out upon the desert we dashed.
The sun was dropping behind the
western mountains
We must reach the wonderful city
before darkness fell on the desert.
.Madly we urged our horses forward,
xiying no heed to the fact that they
were already well beaten by the jour-
nsy Of the day.

our veins.
We had no thought Of anything but
our amazing discovery.
To our bewilderment the city seemed
to recede before US.
We drew no nearer.
In vain we urged our over-driven
horses.
AS we galloped fiercely into the des-
ert the colossal buildings seemed to
glide from us.
Then, had reason ruled, we should
have drawn rein.
But no; we reeled wildly on, our nos
trils filled with dust, our threats dry
and parched. our eyes fixed on the siren
city.
1t seemed that we were entranced,
fascinated, dazed, hypnotized.
At length, as the sun dropped lower,
we saw a blue haze gathering about the
city, which began to fade and grow
DINNER.
Then it was that Old Dave came to
his senses.
He wheeled his staggering horse
square in front of me and caught my
animals bride.
Stop he shouted h0arsely.
He forced my horse on its launches.
Others swept past, unheeding his
command deaf to his shouts.
Besides Old Dave and myself, but one
other of all the party stopped, and that
was Charlie Brandt, a young fellow
of 20.
His horse was nearly spent and he
drew rein.
On toward the wonderful city raced
the other four, and we saw them melt
iuto the blue haze of the desert and dis
appear.
Then, as we sat there, exhausted,
staring after them, weird thing hap
pened.
The sun went down and the mystic
city melted away before our eyes-van-
ished from view.
1t was not yet dark, but the city was
gone like a phantom.
1T is the mirage"
The words came thickly from my
tongue. | could not bear to think we
mad been tricked and yet knew 1t we'll.
No city was there-nothing but
phantom reflection that came-whence!
We had no desire to spend the night
on the desert, and SO we turned back,
Fastening to reach the gap again be-
fore darkness settled.
We were barely successful.
But we had left four comrades in
the desert.
We never saw one Of them again.
Long we waited on the border of the
desert, but they came not back from
the phantom city.
1t had lured them to doom.
Searching for them, we proceeded as
far as we dared into the desert, but we
found no trace of them-nOt even their
bones.
During the three days we fingered at
the border of the desert the city rose
three times before our eyes in all It's
grandeur, and three times it melted
from view, leaving the plain bare and
desolate as far as the eye could reach.
To this day have never heard that
anyone has reached the "City of Gold"
But the glittering mirage has iured
many fOrtune-seeker to doom.
1t still appears at intervals.
And somewhere on the face OF the
earth the wonderful city must actually
exist Just as it is reflected in the mirage.
But where?

The Crawford Hearing.

Our report last week, Of the Craw-
ford hearing ended with adjournment
on Thursday. On Friday morning,
Mr.. Chsmplan again took the stand,
and on cross examination by MIR. Nc
Cormick, said:
ION May 26, l asked Mr. Cowan to
go to my place In Arcade township.
/ had knowledge that an attempt
would be made to take some Of my
property. l should judge that I was
within seven or eight rods Of the men
in the correl, 1t was moonlight
night with full moon. No clouds in
the sky. I did not recognize who was
IN the lot. They drove the hogs north
west. At one time l was within forty
feet Of the parties who we're driving
the hogs. I was close to them, They
we're little ways part, IrecoGniz-
ed Mr.. Crawford, he was close to me.
AS they came out of the gate they
we're sixty feet from me. I recogniz-
ed Mr.. Crawford as the person who
drove the hogs out Of the yard. /
knew him from his dress, He had o
white stick or board in his hand. He
had on a dark colored hat and suit.
We found o spade with Crawford
afterward, so he must have had q
spade with him in the lot. We fol-
lowed closely. Part OF the time we
were close and part of the time not so
close, we lost track of them once. It
was so bright we had to keep back so
as not to be seen. / had no knowl-
edge of the way the hogs were to be
driven. We headed the gang of, by
making a big circuit through a rye
patch on foot. I saw the men before
l saw the hogs, When / saw the men
near the rye patch they were about
five rods apart, The hogs we're scat
tered. Two men were driving one
bunch Of hogs, and one man another.
Mr.. Crawford was by himself, (when
asked If he knew the other men. etate
objected, objection sustained) / was
about six or seven rods from Mr..
Crawford, Had no trouble in recog-
nizing him. The other parties were
about twice as far away. They were
close to part Of the hogs. Mr. Draw
ford was with part of the hogs All
the parties were driving the hogs,
The sheriff was with me at the point
near the rye where the arrest was
made. The sheriff ordered him To
halt, and I drawed a gun on him,
State here rested,
Court adjourned to two o'clock p.
m. In the afternoon a motion was
made by defense asking that Draw
ford be discharged. Justice Polling
over ruled the motion, and bound the
defendant over to the district court
fixing the amount of the bond at $780,
