widow of Colonel John Stotsenburg. Of
New Albany, Ind, bears the dlstinc-
ton of having been often under fire on
the firing line around Manila. When
Colonel Stotsenburg went to the Phil
ippines his wife accompanied him, and,
arriving there, insisted on being per-
mitted to accompany her husband in
the subsequent campaigns. She went
as a nurse, with the consent of General
Otis, but on many occasions she had to
spend hours in the trenches with the
troops.
Letters from Manila to relatives,
written months ago. tell of instances in
which the plucky woman was caught
during different engagements and was
forced, with her escort, to drop in the
trenches. where she lay, with the bull
lets whistling over her head. On diff
ferent occasions she could not restrain
her enthusiasm, and, although she does
not make reference to it, reliable re-
ports tell of her seizing a rifle from a
dying soldier and doing very effective
work.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Thompson last week. Thompson gave the
dog to Taylor, and the Sheriff was leading
it out of Robinson's stable with rope
when it made the attack upon his horse.
The legs of the horse were badly cheWed
and it's right side was poisoned by the
dog teeth.
Taylor wished to shoot the vicious brute
but was deferred by Thompson. who ar
rived on the scene in time to assist in
making the dog let go its. hold on the
horses leg. Bullion was then presented
to District Attorney McIsaac, who con-
cluded upon investigation that the dog
might be of valuable breed but had a
bad reputation and was not intended fol
the society Of a man of peace.
Bullion is son of Bridget, the famous
bull TERROR that once was accidentally
confined in a deserted house and there
subsisted for twenty-five days on diet of
air. When discovered she was able to
stand on her feet and recognized Shearer,
the owner. When Bullion was a little pup

half Of the town would now be in ashes.
Within the last two years three hotels
there have been burned to the ground.
two Of which have been rebuilt. and less
than a month ago Hoitt's School was
destroyed.
The fire to-day started in the barn
connected with Martin Kuck's hotel.
The barn was surrounded by other
buildings, and had they taken fire the
whole block would have gone The de-
partment has only one available fire
hydrant, its new ones, six or seven in
number, not yet having been put into
place. Only lately has there been any
fire department at all, Menlo having
been dependent upon Palo Alto and
Redwood City for assistance.
The citizens have now become thor
oughly alarmed. They had recently
purchased 800 feet of fire hose. but at
the time Of the fire had not taken it
from the railroad freight house. In or
der to use it to-day they were compelled
TO break into the freight shed to get il.
the agent not being there at the time.
The fire department at Redwood was
telephGned to, but by the time it
reached the scene the fire was under
control. The barn was a total loss.
