b. a man around and their suspicious
were confirmed by finding a mans cork
leg. Then began a search of the creek
and the deceased was found about 40 feet

dent occurred is not known. The de-
ceased must have made a struggle for
life as he cut his cork leg loose, his pants
showing the knife marks plainly. No one

came up at the inquest which was held
by Justice Houston at Chinook. showed
that he had driven into a deep hole and
became entangled in the lines on being

OF late he has been markedly atten-

her birthday at such a time, he had the
impertinence to send her an expensive
present of an exceedingly impertinent
kind. 1t, or, rather, they, were in
satin box, and their buckles cleaned
with gems. The widow wrote note
of thanks and before she sent it she
showed it to somebody, who told the
story. This is what she said:

SAGAClTY OF A MINE MULE.

Jim Smiley was in Pittsburg recent
ly. Jim will be remembered as a man
who had studied the character and
ldlosyncrasies of the coal NINE Jim
believes an old mine mule has more
than horse sense, and in some cases is
gifted with second sight. Jim drove
white mule for Captain w. b. Rodgers
of the Tide Coal company that had this
faculty, and owing to his exercise of it
Jim ds able to relate some of his Won
derful experiences with mine mules.
The mule, Jim says, has scriptural au-
thority for seeing things that his driver
cannot see, and cites the story of Ba-
laam and the mule ancestor in corrob-
Grafton of his theory.
The particular mule that Captain
Rodgers owned was noted for his light

lection to going the way he was direct

Jim shouted few "cuss" words at the
mule and, calling him by an oppro-
bious name, invited him to ''gwan" He
started off in good style until the cross
entry was reached. Here he stopped.
The mule switched his tail. Jim APP
piled his blacksnake whip. which he
unwound from his shoulders for the
purpose.
Force and persuasion were unavail-
ing. Jim got behind the mine car and
pushed 1t against the mule. The animal
held back. Jim pushed harder and, the
mule toppled over into the car. Jim
could not get the mule out of the car,
and was forced to get another mule and
pull the wise mule to the sidetrack,
where 1t was high enough to dump him
out of the pit car Jim took the Dor
rowed mule and went back into the
cross entry, and when he arrived at the
point where the wise mule had stopped
he found that a fall of roof had oc-

to two certain pieces of acreage property

the sum of 1924 to redeem them from the
persons holding the tax certificates. The
