THE RAND DISTRICT.
It's Wells, Sunk Through Solid ROCK,

Frederic M. Mooers, one of three pros
pectors to discover quartz in the Rano
district in April, 1895, now guest at the
Palace, gives some interesting 1nforrna-
ton concerning the present status OF MN
ing operations in that region.

A Coroner's jury in the case Of the
death of Arthur Brown, who died from
the effects of a fractured skull caused
by a club in the hands of A. Bierwith, a
clearinghouse keeper, returned a verdict
yesterday of justifiable homicide. The
testimony was that while Bierwith was
ejecting Brown the deceased took hold OF
his coat and was about to pull Bierwith
over the banisters, and that Bierwith, TO
save himself from injury and possibly
death, drew the club from his pocket and
struck Brown on the head with it to make
him let go.

DIR. TANNERS RIVAL.
An Ohio Pig Lives Without Food on
Water for Twcnty-SiX Days.

The famous Dr. Tanner has Il rival in
Fairfield County, o., whose achieve
ments the once champion faster OF the
world may well consider
The doctors rival is not man OF
science. and even his parcntagc is OF
doubtful origin and his association re-
pudiated by Il considerable part OF the
population of the world as contaminat-
ing.
The famous Fairfield faster, news OF
whose wondrous deeds have just reached
this city. says Columbus paper, is Il
hog, and is the property OF William
Krger, Of Royaldom, Fairfield County.
Mr. Kirger is welI-to.do farmer, and
his story OF the enforced fast Of one OF
his stock hogs for twentysiy days with
out food on water can be- relied upon as
true
"Four weeks ago Friday he said. "a
straw stack standing in my barnyard,
the stock. fell over. | had twenty-five
head OF shoats in the lot at the time, and
the following day, saturday, turned
them in another lot to prevent them
wasting the straw We did not count
the shoatS when We moved them, and
did not discover that there was one
short.
"Wc passed through the yard where the
straw pile was located, a dozen times a
day, and there were no signs of pig to
be seen. Thursday afternoon | took Il
man and we began hauling the straw
away, and after removing several loads |
nI "A Il II nm
from under the straw and stagger uff.
"Thc pig had been under the pile for
just twcnty-six days without food or
water A. soon as released. the animal
began to eat the barnyard offa, and APP
pcarcd very hungry.
"When the animal was confined be.
npath the stack it weighed possibly
eighty pounds, and when it was released
Thursday, ailcr a twcntysiS days fast,
it had lost fully forty pounds OF its flesh.
The animal had lived during the entire
time, which. considering that it was fat
when it was imprisoned is not 50 re-
markable, but how it could live under
all that straw for that length of time and
| have no water is a mystery.
/ even Tanner, the great, had all tie
! wafer ne wanted, Wllllc tne pig WeI'
without either food or drink. The
animal is getting along nicely, and see
no reason why ii should be any the
worse for its enforced fast"
Mr.. Kirger says that the animal was
buried beneath some four or five feet OF
straw during the time Of its imprison-
ment, and the wonder Is that it sue
cccded in getting enough air to keep II
alive.

he was well enough to be moved the
mother went to the White House to ask

story was enough. She saw the Presi-
dent, and in his kindly way he ques-
toned her. She told the story of her
five soldier boys, and when she had
finished, he stepped to his desk and
wrote an order for the young mans dis
