the curative properties of the weed, he
permitted copperhead and rattle
snake to bite him and was successfully
healed. He went to a picnic at Lulu lake
on Lookout mountain with three rat

he worried the snakes, making them
bite him until they would do so no more.
He finally put his tongue in the snakes

LOST IN A GREAT CAVE.
Note Found in n Bottle Purporting to
he from Hopeless Wan
dPrer.

While viii Russell, a son of Chief of
Police Frank Russell of Bedford, Ind,
and two other young men. named
were exploring cave on the farm of
II man named Kern. w miles south
west of Bedford, the other day, they
discovered a mysterious note, which,
If true. reveals the awful death Of
an unknown man.
After going quite a distance back
in the cave, which is said to be about
three miles in extent. bottle was dis
covered at the top of a high precipice
in an i:dentation in the rocks, and
was held in place by mud which had
been daubed around it. Inc bottle
contained "a note, which read as fol-
lows:
Have been lost here since Sunday. De-
cember 20. 1896. II is now 1925 p m, Decem-
Der rs. Am hungry and last oil all gone.
JAKE OLDEN, Lincoln, Neb.'
One the back of the note was writ
| ten: Tell my friends | died happy.
JAKE"
The bottle was of quart size and
had contained coal oil, as the note
was saturated with it.
The young men made thorough
search for anything that might lead
to an explanation of the mystery, but
they were unable to go beyond the
precipice upon which the bottle was
found. The depth of the declivity
seemed to be about so feet and wa
ter could be plainly heard falling in
the depths below.
On May 13, 1894, James Corbn and
Martin Hansford undertook to en-
! plore this cave and were lost through
their light going out, and it was only
after many hours of hard labor and
perseverance that they regained the
| entrance.
Whether the note was written by
some one who was really lost or as a
joke is a mystery, but it is certainly
possible that one couid enter this
great cave and become lost \ search
will be maze again during the com
ing week, when an attempt will be
made to descend the precipice where
the bottle was found.

CHASED BY A CINNAMON BEAR
Thrilling Experience of Hunting
Party on Colorado
Railway.

Robert Martin, weIl-known hunt
er and cattleman of Archuleta county,
Col, arrived at Denver the other day
and related an experience that he had
just passed through with a big Gin
namon bear. Martin was with a Rio
Grand section gang in Cumbres pass
repairing ties and travelling by means
of a handcar. Work had hardly COM
menced before little cinnamon bear
appeared in search of its mother
The men capt lred the cub after
strategic moves and tied him to the
handcar, which was put on the track
He Immediately commenced to howl
for the dam, and in few minutes a
big, lean, lank mother made her ap-
pearance and started for her cub with
blood in her eye. The men immedi-
ately rushed the car toward the down
grade and started to work, with the
bear ten feet behind. The harder the
men worked the faster the bear ran,
and Martin, who was sitting with his
feet hanging over the rear of the car
had one shoe torn off by her claws in
sudden spurt. Another jump and
the dam almost made the car, but fell,
but was on her feet in moment.
For three miles the bear chased the
car on down grade and was only
stopped by a gulch trestle. The cub
remained the section mems trophy.

KING OSCARS LITTLE JOKE.
Greets Cordially American Visitors
to the Palace MS "FeIIow
MOnnrchs."

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. George
f. Baldwin. of Chicago, have just heard
of a pleasant experience which they
had in Stockholm recently and which
exhibits the true courtesy of King Os-
car of Sweden. While sightseeing in
Stockholm they visited the royal palace
and were charmed with its beauty and
dignity. They had reached the floor
on which King Oscars private suite is
situated when they were stopped by
an attendant, who told them they
would have to wait. as the king was
there, but was about to take a drive,
when the apartments would be open.
AS they waited in the corridor royal
carriage drew up at the foot of the
staircase. A moment later the king ap-
peared in the uniform of an admiral.
AS he passed Mrs. Baldwin made a
graceful courtesy, which he acknowl-
edged with a courteous bow. Turning
to an aid-de-camp he said:
"Please show that lady and her
friends through the royal chambers.
| see that they are Americans, fellow
monarchs," and with another bow and
smile the king departed. Mrs. Bald
win is one of the beauties of Chicago.
She has many friends in New York.

and he shall prepare and conduct the
farm agreeable to the wishes of his
mother. and shall deliver to her annu-
ally one-fourth of all the proceeds
from said farm in money after thresh-
| ing shall be done"
