SOMETHING
ABOUT
'WATCHESI

During the last month the
different watch companies
have increased the price on all
grades of their watches. We
anticipated this move on the
part of the manufacturers, and
bought largely of the ELGIN
and WALTHAM and other
makes, before their increase in
price. This will enable us to.
continue to sell our watches at
the same low prices as hereto
fore. We will not increase our
prices. but, on the contrary,
will be enabled to sell them a
little cheaper on account of
the extra discount which we
secured by buying such a large
bill of them at one time.
We have about three hun
and fifty (watches) now from
which to make a selection, and
we think the time is opportune
for intending purchasers.

. suddenly at his residence Folly" about five
< miles south of this city on Tuesday morning
Il last the morning Of the election. Tho COM
: munity was never more shocked. He had
been about over the county good deal dur
ing the canvass, he was in Staunton and on
the Fair Grounds on Friday and seemed
then in the best of spirits. He has made
rather an aggressive campaign considering
his we'll known diffidence and dislike of press
ing himself upon the people, and had he
\ lived would have pclled vote beyond his
party strength. He was man of singular
but captivating manner, of the highest in
tegrlty, and his successful business career
had mode him competitor which gave his
political opponents peculiar and just cause
tof alarm His kind genial nature seemed
TO admit OF no disturbance. He was always
in happy frame of mind and seemed as lit
Tie given to sOmbre thought or disquieting
meditatlons as any man Of our acquaintance.
The circumstances of his death were as j,
follows: He was complaining on the morn
ing OF the election, and did not attempt to |
leave his bed, but said to persons who came
to see him that he intended during SO. A
person had been sent by him to carry some
message, and when the party has gotten a
short distance from the house he was recall
ed by members of the family and on return
ing found that the Col. was dead.
Col. j. q. Cochran was the son of john
Cochran and Margaret Lynn Lewis. Hell
has two brothers living Judge Jno. L. Coch-
ran, OF Charlottesville, and Dr. Henry K.
Cochran. of Smythe county, va, he has also
one living sister, Mrs. Jno. M. Preston, of
Smythe county. His immediate family con- v
sists of son, Joseph S. Cochran and a !
daughter, Mrs. Anne Rawlingson. He was 3
widely related IN the county and state. His B
near relatives in this county, are the de-
'cendants of his fathers brothers the late
Addison and Geo. Moffett Cochran. His :
mother and the wife of the late j. Howe
Peyton were sisters and he has an extended
through that branch Of his
amily. a
AT the time of his death he was one of the 8,
supervisors of the county, and this is the =,
econd time he has served in that capacity. !,

THE LEGEND A MYTH.

pivcstci of Its Romance.

Tie Enchanted Me.a of New Mexico
Divcstei of Its Romance.
The legend of the enchanted mesa,
situated some distance south of Albu-
Guerquc, New Mexico, has been eX-
p!odcd by party of explorers. headed
by Prof. Libbey of Princeton Univer-
sity. The mesa is perpendicular rock
rising IG0 feet above the surface of the
3:ain and covering forty acres. Here.
according to tradition, Acoma Indians.
to tlse number of 1 500. dwelt in vii
iage in the sixteenth century, their
means of access to the top of the mesa
heing by steps they had cut in the rock.
Once while the able-bodied members
were at work in the fields below light
ming destroyed the steps and cut Off
from their kinsmen the aged Indians
and children left in the village on top
of the mesa. To reach the unfortu-
mates, thus isolated. was impossible.
and all Of them to the number of 300
perished. The surviving AcOmas then
moved to n new home and ever since
regarded the mesa as sacred. Thus
runs the legend.
Last week Prof. Libbey ard party
visited the mesa prepared to explore
it. A line was shot across the rock,
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1897-09-01

suitable tackle was made ready and
separately the members ascended in a
chair to the legendary home of the
Acomas. The legend proved to have
been unfounded. Writing of the sub.
ject Prof Libbey says: mo traces of
former inhabitants were found. Fur
ther, no affairs or traces of prayer
sticks were found. This fact best of
all shows the inaccessible character of
the place, because, If 1t had been ac-
cessible, the medicine men of the
Acoma tribe would have certainly used
It for such purposes.
mot the slightest trace was found
which would enable me to believe that
a human foot had ever before passed
over the top Of this famous rock. A
few agile lizards and several gray
rats were the only occupants Of this
castle In the air. Some fine specimens
Of stunted pines, few species Of flow
ering plants and the ubiquitous sage
brush lent q variety to the surface on
the line Of color of the bright sand
stone"
Thus dies n legend that has been the
Inspiration Of poet and romanist.

-Ihe truth does not often float to the sur
face in such times of excitement. rs ver9
weight seems to sink 1t below view, while
the straws and driftwood almost choke
the channel.
When it became known that the nun,
dered mans wife lay dying, public feel;
ing sighed, "How she must have loved
him!' and took a-turn against Ben.
The evidence in the case was purely
circumstantial, but dark of its kind
Ben was a dealer in the finer kinds OF
cutlery, and upon his shelves was a case
of knives precisely like the bloody one
found beside the murdered man. There,
too, was his known enmity, and its oc-
casion; and it was remembered that he
had been seen coming from Stciner's
and had seemed under some excitement
at the time. His own Language, concern
ing a settlement with Steiner some time,
was quoted against him.
The trial drew near its close, and it wal
likely to go hard with Zen, unless the
jury proved more conscientious and scrup-
ulOus about trusting to circumstantial evl'
dence than the crowd which thrOnged the
court room and had already condemned
the prisoner.
The truth came out by the mcrest acci;
cident. Ben's clerk seeing a strange and
very handsome woman in the court room,
suddenly remembered that he had sold
that woman that very knife, OF one like
it, three weeks before the murder. He
whispered the-fact in the ear of Ben's
counsel.
The woman gave herself up, and owned
to her guilt at the first demonstration.
Steiner had wrongcd her, she said, to an
extent that only his death could atone
for. II it was necessary that any one
should die because a bad man had got his
dues, she was ready.
Ben was at once liberated, and the wO
man took his place. In the end she plead,
ed insanity, and the jury was glad enough
to escape hanging her.
Zen ElrOy quilted the country for q
while, but he returned in time to marry
his old love, who had not died, and whose
roses bloomed late as brightly as they had
early.

Nerve.

There was stern discipline among
the Japanese in their late war with
China, and at every point display of
IRON nerve. The medical inspector OF
the combined feet was Or. Kawamura
HoShu, who was on board the flag
ship during one tremendous action
when the vessel was struck with dis
astrous effect by shell.
One gun was shattered, the floor OF
the surgery was crushed in, and the
Doctor was thrown with terrible force
against the ceiling. When he regain
ell his senses he found himself unable
to rise upon his feet and could only
crawl out of the wrecked surgery TO
seek a place of comparative safety. a
marine met him, picked him up with
out word and began to carry hiT
away.
aren't you n gunnerT' asked the
wounded man.
Yes, sir"
'Then why are you not at your post?
Let me down Mt once, and go thrre
Others are detailed to attend the
wounded"
but, SIR urged the man, "the gun
which l serve was shattered by he
shell"
81 thank you for your Intentions"
said the Doctor, firmly, "but you need
not attend to the wounded without spe-
cial orders to that effect. do not
need your help"
The gunner placed the wounded man
upon the deck and went his way, and
the Doctor tried TO take off his shoes.
TO find out how much his feet and legs
were injured. While he was doing this
he tainted again, and an attendant
bore him away to the room which had
been hastily fitted up for a snrscrs.
There the doctor called for bucket
of sea-water, placed his fee. in it to
stop their bleeding. and despite his
great pain and loss of blood. continued
to direct the other surgeons In fh,ir
care for the wounded.
