MADE A RUN FOR LIFE.
A. H. whitmarsh Set Upon by Foot
Pads, Cut and Shot At.

Last night Mr.. A. H. Whitmarsh,
who lives at No. III Pecan street,
when returning home from a neigh
bors house, and when at the corner
of the Mullins home, was halted by
four white men who demanded of
him to throw up his hand, Instead
of complying with their request, he
attempted to run by them, as he
passed one of them madela slash at
him with knife cutting cash under
his ear and simultaneously with this
one of the men shot at him. This
did not have the effect te.make Mr.,
Whitmarsh stop but accelerated bis
movements and he cleared the space
between the Mullins corner and his
home place in the quickest time he
ever made it before. His wound is
not dangerous we are glad to say
and he was down to-day telling of
his narrow escape.
We should organize :. blunteer

DR.. R. L. Grants Spring.

The editor and reporter visited
DR.. Grants suburban place yes
terday, which is situated on State
Line Avenue II miles from the Mil
Ter county court house. We found
that the doctor had placed a fine
mesh wire fence around his place
which contains some 30 or 40 acres
and built large two story house on
a commanding hill. He has a
beautiful place aud it willbe valu-
able after it is cultivated sufficiently
long to get the stumps and roots
from the ground On the place
and near the house is fine spring
or rather springs, for in the little
branch in which they are situated
we can see the esand agitanted by the
force of water coming to the sur
face. The DR.. has had sunk in the
earth three 20 inch tiling, six feet
deep and has connected them by an
other six inch tiling running under
the ground and along the branch,
which feeds the three and keeps
them discharging quite bold little
stream. We were shown an alaysis
of the water and found it free from
mineral substance of a poisonous
nature, and the chemist who an
alyiEed it said the water could not be
excelled for manufacturing pur-
poses, in fact, Mr.. Eaton who is
charge of the place said he furnished
one of our largest soda water manu-
facturers here with water from
which he made his soda. The water
is palatable to taste and Mr.. Eaton
said he sold many gallons to private
families for drinking purposes, Mr.
Eaton, who is in charge OF the
place, is running dairy-known as
the Excelsior" and we found him
busily engaged in looking after his
COWS. He is milking at this time
some II head and finds ready sale
for his milk. DR., Grant has valu-
able piece of propert in his country
place, and we hope he may reap
good results from its ownership.

FLYTRAP CAUSED a FURRY


Mrs. Armand Smith, of WiIkesbarre,
Pa, accused her husband OF trying to
kill her. His explanation is that he was
merely trying to keep the flies Off his
bald head and sleep peacefully
The two were camping In a tent
along the shores of Lake Winoda, and
Monday night, after the rain, Smith
was greatly bothered by the fies,
which found his bald head special att
traction. Una bic to stand 1t any longer,
he got up in the middle Of the night
and spread a cupful of molasses on q
palm-leaf fan and placed It near his
head. Then the flies, being distracted
by sweeter morsel, he slept soundly.
Mrs. Smith rolled over In her sleep
some time later and then sprang from
the bed, fighting some horrible thing
that chung to her face and tried to
smother her, while a fnghtful buzzing
filed her with terror. In the dark
ness and confusion she imagined all
sorts Of things, and chiefly that her
husband was trying to murder her. He
rushed to her assistance and pulled the
fam, the half-dead flies and the motas-
ses from her face. >~ss = = SIS.
Then he tried to explain, but she
would not listen, and left him be1noant
ing the fact that he had lost his hair.
The next day she had him arrested and
taken before Alderman Donahue, and
the whole horrible and amusing story
was told. The alderman advised them
to go home and talk it over, and if they
did not feel better at the end Of a week
to return to him

THINKS SHE IS LIKE CYRANO
Pretty Girls DeIusion That NerNasa
ApDendage Is "a Mon
strosity.

Alice Mulcahy, aged %, living with
her father, Thomas Mulcahy, a well
known citizen of WinchelI avenue, Gin
cinnati, O., has been for some time the
victim Of a strange delusion. She be-
heves that she possesses nose Like
that attributed to Cyrano de Bergerac,
and that she must keep it concealed
She therefore continually holds her
hand upon her nasal appendage and
refuses to go upon the street. When
anybody comes into the house she hides
herself in dark corner, with her hand
over her nose On all other points Miss
Mulcahy is rational. A chance remark
criticising her nose is declared to have
caused her to worry herself into her
present condition. Her relatives at last
concluded that she was demented, as
she has a handsome face and her nose
IS, in fact, regular in shape and with
out blemish It is not even as large
as the noses Of many young ladies,with
small features.

ELOPING GIRL TURNS BACK.
Hats at the Minister'S Gate and Then
Returns for Her Mothers
Consent.

William Halves and Miss Wayne
Rhine, aged % and 10, respectively,
eloped from Union county to Nashville,
ILL.,, with the avowed intention of be-
ing married, but returned to their
homes at night still only lovers. 4
The couple arrived there early In the
morning and Immediately applied to
the county clerk for marriage license.
They were the best dressed couple that
has entered the clerk s office for many
a day. The would-be groom admitted
to the clerk that they wished to marry
against the wishes of the girls mother,
but so long as the two were of age they
thought they had right to do so. The
License was granted and the young MAD
asked to be shown to the nearest min
lister, but here the girl interposed and
suggested that they first look over the
city. The two stroEed along the
streets and finally brought up at the
home of the Methodist Episcopal min
lister. The young man started to lead
the way to the door, but the girl
grasped his arm and held him back
"Oh, WILL" she cried. sthe tears start
ing down her cheeks. II can't do it. I
can't without mothers consent. You
know love you SO much, but now am
sorry l ever came here. Please let's go
right home, and my mamma will re-
lent in time"
Halves pleaded, but all in vain; the
girl was firm. The license was returned
and the two left in the evening for their
home, trusting to be forgiven.

THE LADY AND THE SNAKE.
Rattler Coiked Behind Woman's Chair
and She Made an Excit-

Mrs. Bertha Grebel, of Harold S. D.,
had an experience with a rattlesnake
which she will not soon forget. While
sitting at a table the other evening
engaged in writing letter she heard
peculiar noise behind her. A glance
not revealing anyone in the room be-
side herself, she continued her writ
ing. The noise being repeated more
plainly she decided to investigate, and
was horror-stricken to discover huge
RATHER coiled on the floor in the mid
die of the room, only a foot or two
from where she had been sitting. She
screamed upon beholding the snake,
and then there was an exciting race
between the lady and the reptile to
see which could get out Of the house
first. Mrs. Grebel won the race, but
when she returned few moments
later with her husband who was pre-
pared to kill the intruder, the rattle
snake had disappeared.

Hair-Raising Tale.
Attacked by Hideous Sea serpent
and Barely Escape-Had Bulgfng
Eyes, Large Mouth and
VfcfOus-LOoktn& Teeth

A hair-ratsing sleep-destroytng sea
serpent story has spread terror among
the visitors at Aalendale on Gull lake,
near Kalamazoo, Mich Bathers no
longer 60 into the wateY and boating
parties venture out only when heavily
armed The marine monster was dis
covered by Harry Kemper and Miss
Carrie Wirthin, of Cincinnati, who
were out fishing just before dusk.
MIR. Kemper describes the serpent
as having short, thick forelegs and q
head as large as that of calf, with
bulgfng eyes, large mouth and vicious
looking teeth On its forehead was a
thick growth of hairy-ike substance
and it's body was covered with scales
that gave forth phosphoreseent
glow IN the twilight. Kemper says
the thing had face almost human in
its expression and that it reminded
him more than anything else of pic
lures he had seen Of Aguinaldo.
Mr.. Kemper and his companion say
their suspicious were first aroused
when they lost a half dozen spoon
hooks and lines, then their minnow
pail, trailing behind in the water.
Noticing the water strangely agitated
near by, Mr.. Kemper started to row to
shore. He says something grabbed
one Of his oars and the blade came up
with piece torn out. Then he says
there appeared above the water a
hideous head that swayed from side to
side and emitted a kissing sound.
Some 20 or Is feet away the tip Of the
reptiles tail could be seen flashing the
water to foam. Kemper rowed for his
life toward shore, with his companion
in state Of collapse, with the mon
ster pursuing them. When about 20
rods from shore he beat it off with
his oar and in doing so capsized the
boat. The couple were rescued by a
passing launch.
Kemper came to Kalamazoo and
purchased a large quantity of dyna-
mite, which he is going to explode on
the spot where the monster disap-
Peared. In 1893 a strange water non
descript was said to have appeared
at Gull lake and killed calves, sheep
and fowls along the shores.

Shoup of Idaho intends to ask a vindi-

SETTLERS AND STATE LANDS.


The system under which state lands,
allotted by the general government, are
being selected is creating more or less
dissatisfaction among the settlers and
residents of the different counties, for
the reason that their timber supply and
local grazing privileges are threat
efied.
Large sheep and cattle companies
and wealthy farmers and stockmen are
enabled under the law to pick out a
small tract here and another there,
each being the key to a large area,
each affording control Of some pass or
spring or timber tract. each giving the
holder the possession of an entire range
at a nominal outlay, each lessening the
local advantages to bona fide settlers
and to men who are actually trying to
improve and build up the section.
The law seems to permit this. There
is no claim that the law is violated or
in any way disregarded. But for all
that. it appears that an injustice is be-
ing done, and that the tendency is to
hinder and delay the development Of
the upland valleys Of the state.
The timber problem is a serious one
TO all the settlements. Grazing privi-
leges should be offered as an induce
ment for men and women to locate in
the sparsely settled portions Of the
state. But there is a difficulty in the
way Of almost every remedy which
suggests itself.
II the grazing lands We're leased in
stead of being sold temporary relief. at
least, might be obtained. AS yet the
limits of irrigation possibilities are not
fixed, and public control Of timber and
grazing lands ought to be retained I'M
