abandoned since the opening of the
railway, soon led away from the valley

speedily lost it's identity in succession
of wood roads, and, after following sew
eral of the latter to their vanishing
points, Philip gave up the struggle and
determined to let the horse find the
way if he could. In common with un-
equestrian mankind in general, Philip
shared the belief in the inerrant path
finding instincts of horse; but after an
other hour Of hesitant wandering, dur

that he had gained asprained ankle and

the maxim about great haste and small
speed, he got up with some difficulty
and continued his wanderings afoot un-

able. After that there was nothing for
it but to sit down and wait for daylight,
and he was about to resign himself to

have made him take the only bed in the
cabin if he had not insisted upon sleep

CRAWFORD WEBB ACQUITTED.

Last August Crawford Webb shot
and killed James nianley on the
Miami reservation in the Indian
Territory. Just prior TO the killing
as we remember it. Marley went 10
the home of Webb aud found him
out in the stock lot milking. The
two mcn talked until Webb had fin
ishcd milking and then started 10
the house, Webb leading. Just as
they reached the gale leading into
the dooryard Nanlcy struck Webb a
couple of times on the head with a
six. shooter. Webb staggered up
against the gate post, but recovered
himself, and jerking the revolver
away from Marley, shot him. The
trouble is supposed TO have origi-
mated over Manley's sister, with
whom Webb was living. She was
the only witness to the killing and
died five days afterward. Webb
pleaded self defense.
The case was tried in the United
States district court al Fort Scott
this week. the trial lasting two days,
and Webb was found not guilty.

was in the city last evening with
his brother. in-law, John Uhles, of
Frontenac, says the Pittsburg

peculiar ailment of the eyes, which
so far has puzzled all the eye spe-
cialists in this part of the country.
1t began TO make its appearance
about eight weeks ago by red or
inflamed condition of both eyeballs,
and although not of painful ma
ture, water began to run from them.
and as the aiiment increased so did
the volume of water. About three
or four weeks ago the eyes began to
burn and became very painful.
However, the pain only continued
for a few days when it ceased, but
he found himself totally blind. He
