consuls at Shanghai have cabled their
governments that there is urgent need
for warships to protect that city. owing
to the menacing attitude OF the Chinese

of merchandise recently accumulat ed
there. II seems that the Chinese have

THE BIGGEST LIAR IN ARIZONA

W. L. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
One of the stock stories related by
Captain Hance, the veteran guide at
the Grand canon of the Colorado, who
admits that he is the biggest liar IN
Arizona. concerns an adventure which
took place some years ago. The cap
tain says that he was pursuing flock
of mountain sheep, which jumped over
the precipice into the canon, right at
the deepest part, where you can look
down over 5000 feet. He saw his dam
ger before he reached the brink but
it was impossible to stop his horse so
suddenly and over he went after the
sheep. While he was falling, the cap
tain says, he was very much fright
ened, but it occurred to him that II
he could get out of the saddle just
before the horse struck the ground he
might save himself. SO he took his
feet out of the stirrups, and when his
faithful animal was about five feet
from the bottom of the canon he threw
himself off and landed safely on big
rock. with no injury except few in
significant bruises. The horse, how
ever was crushed to fragments. There
was not "a single bone in his whole
body left unbroken.
Captain Hance, however, insists that
he had another escape even more mar
velous than this, and 1t was with the
same horse, a favorite animal, which
was famous as jumper.
THAT horse, when he was feelin'
good" said Captain Hance, could
jump over any tree on the Colorado
plateau, and many time he has made
better than mile a minute with me
on his back. and I weigh about l50, I
have ridden him bareback. blanket
back and side-saddle, uphill and down.
and he never stumbled, nor balked, nor
whimpered, although many a time he
went a week without food or water
l had never seen such a horse before
or since, either for speed or intelli-
gence, and for jumping he could beat
anything in Arizoneeia, but he couldn't
