EICHENLAUB Is FREED.
Prisoner Proves He Is Not Dart, the
Burglar.

In the case of Antony Fl. Eichen-
laub, arrested two weeks ago on the
charge of having committed bur-
glary in this city in 1889. there ap-
pears to have been a rather remark
able instance of mistaken Identity,
and yesterday the prisoner was set at
liberty, having established to the sat
isfaction of the court that he was not
Charles Dart, whom he was alleged to
be when arrested. Eight years ago
Charles Dart robbed the safe in Peter
Bielen's West Seventh street butcher
shop of $16S. Eichenlaub recently
came to ST. Paul and was locked up
as Dart, on the charge Of having COM
mitted the robbery. Mr.. Beilen and
several other witnesses positively iden-
tilted the prisoner as the robber, but
EichenIauD maintained that 1t was g.
case Of mistaken identity, and yester-
day had sixteen witnesses in court to
swear that he was not Dart. The
witnesses had all known Dart and
positively averred that the man under
arrest was not he. Among them was
Stephen Burns, formerly the proprie-
tor of the Market restaurant, where
Dart worked, and several walters who
had at various times been employed
with Dart.
EichenIaub came from ChillicoIaR,
O., and declares he was not in st. Paul
in 1889.

has been registered. No person car

the seven cycling associations. Then
the wheel receives number, which
must be attached to it in two places.
The rider must be always armed
with the police "permit," which bears
his photograph. He must carry bel
and lantern. When several persons
ride together, they must keep not less
than IA feet apart-a rule which proves
that the Irish bull, as we'll as the
American bicycle, has been naturalized
in Russia. When turning corner OF
crossing street the bicycle must be
ridden very slowly, with bell-ringine
accompaniment. In crowded streets
riders must alight and lead their wheels
and they must do the same when hor

II retired as soon as reached home

Mr. Tupper now executed a bold
move. Taking the paper which Mr..
Barnes had found in the parlor Of tie
farmhouse, he folded it so that only the
first half of the sentence could be read.
Approaching Virginia, he suddenly
held it up before her eyes and said:
"Did you ever see this before?''
This was so unexpected that Virginia
was thrown off her guard. At the first
glance she smotf cred all exclamation
and hurriedly put her hand to her
breast Instantly, however, her agita-
tion passed, and she replied quite calm
ly.

coldly.

Virginia answered by half scornful

excitement. He was accustomed to deal
with wary criminals, but had never
met woman so provokingly self pos
sessed as this one.
"Come, Miss Lewis" said Mr. Tup-
per, "it is useless to deny what I say.

her. Both its forepaws fastened them
selves on the hind wheel of the BIZ
cycle. The claws sank deep into the
tire, and wheel, rider and bear went
toppling over, confused mass, in the
dusty highway.
When Miss Loughran struggled to
her feet, she was covered with dust
and bleeding from a scratch in the
face. Turning about, she saw the bear
making desperate attempts to free it
self from the wheel. Then Miss
Loughran did what few city girls are
capable of doing. She climbed tree.
She knew that it would be worse than
useless to run away, for it would not
be long before the bear would be free
and after her. How she ever got up
that tree, she will never be able to tell
lucidly. But after desperate strug-
giles and many sobs, she got as high as
the lower limb, over which she swung
herself. In her excitement, she forgot
that bears can climb trees. 1t was not
until she was perched there that this
thought came to her.
"Great goodness Suppose that bear
should climb this tree |" she cried.
The thought made her shudder.
Happily for her, this occurrence was
averted. Just as the bear had sue
ceeded in getting itself untangled from
the wheel, pack of bunting dogs ran
out into tie road short distance
above. The bear Immediately turned
tail and fled into the woods on the
opposite side of the road, followed by
the dogs. A minute later two young
hunters came into view. Both were
running. When they saw the bicycle
they stopped.
II wonder where that bear got this
wheel ?" said one of the hunters.
"If you please, it's mine," said Miss
Loughran.
The hunter looked around in aston
ishment.
~ thought I heard a voice, Harley"
said he to his companion.
Miss Loughran slid down the trunk
of the tree, rather the worse for her
experience, yet relieved to know that
her peril was past. 1t took few words
to tell her story. Beyond the fact
that the rear tire was badly punctured,
the wheel was not much injured.
Miss Loughran insisted upon trun.
ding the wheel herself to her aunt's
home, though she was accompanied
the greater part of the way by the
two young men, one of whom was
from New York, and the other from
Rutland, this state.
~ never expected to have such an
exciting time in quiet old Vermont"
said Miss Loughran, "but then one
cannot always tell what is going to
happen. My only regret is that the
horrid bear was not killed."

HE COIJLD NOT SEE The SIGNAL.

Clark Russell has, in a recent issue
of the New Illustrated Magazine, a
spirited account of Lord Nelson at the
Battle of Copenhagen. Although the
English ships met with variety of
disasters, early in the fight, for three
of them had touched ground and one
had been swept astern by a counter
current, yet Lord Nelson still kept his
signal to "bear down" flying defantly.
About one in the afternoon Sir Hyde
Parker, commander-in.cheif, hoisted
from his flagship the signal for the
action to cease. The signal-lieutenant
reported the signal to Nelson, who
seemed not to hear him. The lieuten-
ant waited for him to make fresh
turn of the deck, and said:
"Shall repeat it, my lord ?"
Nelson answered: "No, acknowl.
edge it," and asked in minute, "Is
number 16 still hoisted ?"
This number signified "for close &C.
tion," and the sailor who answered
eyes" was greatly surprised to hear
the little admiral say:
"Mind you keep it sol"
The stump of his right arm began
to show the strong agitation he was
under; whenever Lord Nelson was
worried, he worked his "fin," as the
sailors called it. Turning to Colonel
Strout he said in a quick, eager voice:
"Do you know what is shown on board
the commander-in-chief?
"No," said the colonel.
"Why, to leave off action !" exclaim-
ed Nelson. "To leave off action ]" he
repeated. "Now shoot me if dol"
Then turning to Captain Foley, he
remarked:
"You know, Foley, have only one
eye. l haye right to be blind some.
times" Putting his glass to his blind
eve, he exclaimed: ~ really do not
see the signal !"
He went on fighting, and the battle
of the Baltic became one of England's
most famous victories. A blind eye
that does not see defeat is better than
two good eyes that fail to recognize
success.

WILD FLIGHT FROM A BEAR.

Miss Jessie Loughran, of Jersey
City, who is visiting her aunt, Mrs.
James Davis, near this place, writes
a Woodford, VT, correspondent, had
a lively adventure with large black
bear this week. She is an enthusias-
tic wheelwoman, and when she came
from Jersey City she brought her BIZ
cycle with her. She had gone about
five miles from her aunt's house, and
was returning home, when she heard
the sharp crack of rifle. That is
nothing unusual at this time of the
year in Vermont, for the deer season
is now open, and there are many hun
ters in the woods. Miss Loughran
would probably not have paid more
than passing attention to the shot had
she not heard Immediately afterward
heavy body crash through the un-
dergrowth skirting the roadside. She
turned around, and so doing, lost her
balance. To save herself from a fall
she dismounted.
Hardly had she left the wheel when
a large black bear burst out of the
woods in full view of her. 1t was
evident that the animal was wounded,
for it was snortiDg with rage, and
enGeavored to lick it's left shoulder.
Miss Loughran screamed, and made
desperate attempt to remount her
wheel. Never before did her wheel
behave so disreputably. 1t wabbled
as it never wabbled before, and cavor-
ted with all the wickedness of an
unbridled bronco. At least, that is
what she thinks it did.
No sooner did the bear see Miss
Loughran than it gave a snort and
made dash for her. Half frightened
to death, Miss Loughran made another
desperate attempt to mount her wheel,
and this time was successful. Just as
her feet caught the pedals and the first
burst of speed was acquired, the bear
shot up alongside of her, and with one
dart of his paw tore jagged piece
out of the side of her Tapping skirt.
The wheelwoman looked down upon
the enraged bear, and wondered how
long the race would last. So long as
the bear did not get tangled up in the
wheels, and she ran against no obstruc-
ton, she was reasonably sure of get
ting away from the animal. But fate
had not decreed that Miss Loughran
should escape absolutely unscratched.
The bear got over the ground with
surprising celerity. Once when round
ing turn in the road the bear drew
so near the wheel again that it tore
another piece from Miss Loughran's
skirt. The sharp claws even went
deeper and scratched Miss Loughran's
leg. At that Miss Loughran screamed
at the top of her voice.
"It's a wonder 1 was not heard in
Woodford," she said afterward. 81
thought every minute was to be my
last"
Luckily for the young woman, the
bear did not get mixed up in the
wheels of the bicycle. Not a mile
had been covered in the race with the
bear, yet Miss Loughran imagined
that she had gone at least half way to
the New York state line. The bear,
though painting hot;y, was beginning
to gain steadily on her; the excite
ment of the race was telling on her,
and she was rapidly losing both nerve
and strength. She began to pedal
with renewed vigor, but the squirt was
made too late. The bear was upon

tinued.
"Did you remove anything else from
the room where the corpse lay?"
II did"
This reply was complete surprise to
Mr.. Barnes. He knew that Mr.. Tupper
was alluding to the paper upon which,
they thought, was written the name Of
the murderer, and he was astonished to
find that she appeared about to admit
It's possession. The next question was:
"WiIl you kindly state what that
was and why you took it?''
"It was a medallion locket. took
that also because it is mine.'
Mr.. Barnes now understood why she
had admitted taking something, since
it was not the paper. He was never
theless curious about this new point.
"Where did you find this locket?"
asked Mr.. Tupper.
II noticed that my uncle had his fist
tightly closed, as though holding some
thing, and, forcing it open, removed

ADDRESS TO COTTON GROWERS.
TO BE CONTINUED.

President Wilborn Calls For Delegates
to Meet In Atlanta.
President Wilborn, of the South
Carolina Farmers Alliance, has, in
accordance with the suggestion OF
the cotton convention which met in
Columbia recently, issued a call to
the cotton growers of the south. 1t
is as follows:
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 10, 1897.
To the Cotton Growers of the South :
At large and enthusiastic meeting
of the cotton growers of the state of
South Carolina, wherein all sections of
this state were represented, it was re-
solved that every state in the south be
invited to send delegates to a conven-
ton to be called to meet in Atlanta,
Ca, December IA, 1897. The purpose
of this convention is to organize the
cotton growers of the south, thereby
securing unity of action in the mar
keting anc sale of this great staple,
also to devise ways and means by
which we may be able to break and
throw off the shackles of business
slavery that now binds US. With for
eign exchanges debating the price, we
can only expect ruin and distress in
the future. We can achieve indepen-
dence only by organization.
With a view of securing an ex-
change of ideas and perfecting an or
ganization which it is hoped will re-
suit in good, 1 have been instructed to
call convention of delegates from all
the cotton growing states to meet in
Atlanta, Ga, on the l4th of Decem-
ber, 1897.
All who are interested in this cause
are most earnestly requested to CO.
operate. The governors of the cotton
growing states have been asked to Sc
lect delegates and all state organiza-
tions interested in the prosperity of
the cotton growers are requested to
name and secure the attendance Of
delegates at this general convention.
]. G. WILBORN,
President South Carolina Cotton Grow
| ers' Association.
President Wilborn has in the fol-
lowing letter, asking Governor Ellerbe
to seek the cooperation of all of the
southern governors
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 10, 1897.
His Excellency, w. H. Ellerbe, Gov
ernor of South Carolina:
DEAR SIR-Will you kindly ask the
governors of the cotton growing states
to appoint delegates to the Cotton
Growers convention which has been
called to meet in Atlanta, Ga, Decem-
her IA, 1897?
The purpose Of this convention is to
consider the marketing, sale and price
of cotton and to devise some plan, if
possible, by which the producers OF
this great staple may receive price
above the cost of production.
We realize that concert of action
among the farmers of the south is es-
sential, therefore 1 urge that earnest,
practical farmers be appointed from
each state. The representation we
would ask for is one for each congress-
ional district and two from each state
at large, to assemble in Atlanta, Ga,
December IA, 1897. With the hope of
your kind cooperation, l am,
Most respectfully,
J. G. WILBoRN,
President South Carolina Cotton Grow
ers' Association.
Governor Ellerbe has already indi-
Gated his intention of doing what he
could to help the cotton growers along
in their work.
