RECOVERED.
Bodies Of the Three Drowned
Men Finally Recovered.
Two Funerals Held, Sunday, With
Knights TempIar Service.
Third Will Take Place, Tuesday Deep sor-
row and Sympathy Expressed.
RECOVERED.

After days of intense suspense, the
bodies of the three missing young men.
Edwin l.. Nash, Lewis b. Moore, and
Joseph NJ. Wight, who were drowned
in the Kennebec river, a week ago,
Sunday, have been found. The task
of searching had seemed almost hope
less, and as day after day passed, even
some of the most hopeful had begun to
despair, fearing that the swollen river
had carried the bodies far from even
the uncertain location of the capszing
of the boat in which the men were last
|seen.
1t proved. however, to the satisfaction
of those who have SO persistently
searched through the rainy adverse
weather, that the bodies were found
where they evidently first reached the
bottom of the river. They were within
about 100 feet of one another, and it is
thought from their position that the
three, on the boats capsizing, started
to swim for the eastern shore. Two
bodies We're found Saturday, those CT
Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Nash. And, when
night came, and that of the third of the
party. Mr.. Wight, was not found, the
sympathy of all was felt for his parents,

Word was received in the city of the
finding of the last of the three, just be-
fore the funeral services of Mr. Nash
commenced. Then those in whose
hearts lay the sorrow and sympathy
for the dear ones Of the last to be found
of the unfortunate ones felt at last,
that all human power for their comfort
had been accomplished.
The bodies were promptly cared for.
That of Mr.. Moore was found at II

over the late Sir Knight Nash.
The prelate spoke touchingly upon
the sad case Of the widowed mother.
whose only son, who had been one of
their honored brothers, lay before them.
That son had been her sole support.
and her pride and comfort. She now
is left alone, at her home in Steuben.
Often did the prelatc in his feeling way,
speak of the hope of the hereafter
when all would meet again. Very APP
propriately was given by the
Abnaki Quartet the beautiful hymn

The response Come Unto Me-" was
also given.
When the last sad words were spoken,
the Knights slowly left the room, fol-
lowed by the grieved friends who had
50 learned to respect the one who had
been taken away. On the casket were
many beautiful tributes. including a
cross and crown from the C0mnandefy

q triangle beautifully interviewer, from
the Royal Arch Chapter; a wreath
from the employees of the Gannett &

The remains were taken to Steuben,

They were accompanied by Sir Knight

$115, 295, 500 during 1896. The losses
the past year from June to December
show a large falling off compared with
the same months during the previous
years, but the estimates for December
are in excess of the losses Of that month
during the two preceding years. The
loss by fire during these years is about
equal to the receipts of the treasury for
customs, and more than one-third of
the receipts of all the railroads in the
country after paying operating ex-
penses. This is large amount of mon

system which has kept the Pacific coast
in the grip of his railroad. His personaI
characteristics are not SO well known.
He is described as having calm, De-
whiskered, ox-eyed and nervous face.
His frame is tall and elastic, revealing
the strength and health of an iron con-
stitution. There is tendency OF MS
head to bend forward when he walks,
and he carries gold-headed cane from
habit rather than necessity. He dresses
in black, but is neither shabby nor
fashionable. He wears tiny gold stud
in his shirt bosom and small ring on
the little finger of his left hand. He Is
not given to ostentation. He Is fond OF
reading and enjoys game of whist in
the evening. He does not like society.
He rarely goes to balls or big dinners.
He gives no champagne suppers and
keeps no dog kennels or racing stables.
He is averse to elaborate furniture and
draperies. He is opposed to liveried
lackeys, and disappointed his daughter
by refusing to adopt coat Of arms
when she married prince. His great
grievance is that he has little home life.
He longs to settle down in a house per-
manently and live in quite ease. His
ambition is said to be to lead studious
existence in a country home.

t.AssoED A MOUNTAIN LION.
The Daring Exploit of Two Intrepid
Californians.

The Daring Exploit of Two Intrepid
Ca1ifornians.
Two men living In Green Valley, in
the mountains east of San Diego, had
lively experience with a mountain lion
recently. They were on their way to
the Griffin ranch on horseback, and
Mrs. Hobbs, mother of one of them,
was with them. Young Hobbs was rid
ing ahead, with Griffin behind him,
when a sudden turn in the creek bed
through which they were passing took
Hobbs out of sight for second. In
that brief space there was an unearthly
bowling and screeching, followed In
stantly by the rearing and plunglng OF
the horses. Mrs. Hobbs shrieked in
fright and there was general hubbub.
A mountain lion had jumped out up
on young Hobbs, uttering ferocious
cries as it leaped on the horses shout
ders, and used it's hind claws with great
rapidity. Hobbs leg, fortunately was
encased in long boots Of heavy leather,
which resisted the lions onslaught.
The horse in plunging dislodged the
screaming brute, which darted back I'M
der the shadow of cactus thicket.
Hobbs reached for his gun to prepare
for another attack Griffin had his
hands full in looking after Mrs. Hobbs,
whose horse had become unmanage-
able.
Placing her at a safe distance in the
rear, he returned and hastily put up
scheme with Hobbs to take the big
brute alive. Hobbs was to draw 1t from
the thicket, while Griffin, with lariat
ready, was to rope it. Griffin retreated
few steps, making his lariat ready,
while Hobbs, with a. Warwhoop, dashed
toward the clump. The lion, crouching
in the shadow, screamed with rage and
jumped out toward him, frothing at the
mouth and splitting. The horse trem-
bled with fear.
At that moment Griffin spurred for
ward, threw the lariat with steady aim,
and in another second had the lion
struggling in the dust with tight rope
around it's body. 1t clawed and screech-
ed, making frightful uproar, but Grit
fin, sinking the spurs in deep, dashed
down the road, dragging his feline cap
tive over rocks and cactus. Hobbs ran
back, got his mother, and returned,
bringing up the rear. Griffin kept up
a lively dog trot in order to keep the
line taut, while the lion wasted it's en-
ergy clawing at the rope, occasionally
making a sally toward the horse in
front of him.
Hobbs, by attacking it from the rear,

Famous Sioux Battlefield.
The battle of Wounded Knee Creek,
which took place six years ago between
the Sioux Indians and the grizzled vet
Grams who had fought under the gal
liant Custer, is still fresh in the minds
of our readers.
The Sioux uprising, as It will be re-
called, had it's inception in the Ghost
dance. Orders had been issued for the
disbanding of Big Foot's band. The
order aroused hostility among the
Sioux, and without hesitation the "med-
icine' man threw a handful of earth
into the air. This was signal for
the Indians to fire. The United States

Sea of Azov Frozen over.

The first time in the remembrance Of
the living generation the Sea of Azov is
frozen over solid. The Don River and
the Sea Of Azov froze very suddenly
in rather unexpected way, and as
consequence number of vessels were
taken unawares and stopped on their
way. More than twelve steamers are
helpless in the ice between Azov and
Rostov, and a large number of vessels
are dispersed in various parts Of this
immense frozen shoot Of water, first
tossed about by the violent storm and
then held fast in the glacial embrace.
While the River Don has frequently
frozen over there is no record of the
Sea Of Azov having frozen solid in this
century.

An Eastern newspaper, commenting
upon the recent sale Of an Arizona
mine to secure loan Of $4,000 to Hor-
ace A. w. Tabor, says that this is about
the last we will hear in public Of that
once prominent man. Do not be too
sure Of that. The mining millionaire is
always next door to beggary and the
prospector is ever near to untold
wealth. Mr.. Tabor, who has thrice been
fabulously wealthy, is again grubbing
as he did years before the great car
Donate find at Leadville. 1t may be
that he will not again strike it rich, but
then again he may be on the top Of the
heap in a few years. Tabor has been
foolishly extravagant, according to
Eastern ideals, but he never went back

Of her life at the old family home in
