IN DARK ROOM WITH A COYOTE
strange visitor That Came an the
Night 10 Colorado Rnnch--
mans Bedgide.

NJ. ]. Mcmahon, ranchman living
near River Bend, on the Union Pacific
raod, SO miles east OF Denver, went
into town for surgical treatment, and
the story he told reporter for the
Denver Times Is weird and startling in
the extreme. Mr.. McMahon is a wild
over, and lives with two of his hired
hands at his ranch. One morning Late
ly he was awakened about three O'Clock
by a heavy blow against the window
near his bed. He lay still and listened
and presently he again heard sound
as of body being hurled against the
window. Three times this was repeat
ed, and at the fourth blow the window
gave way with loud sound of splin-
tering frame and falling glass, and
an animal sprang into the room. 1t
was TOO dark for Mr.. Mcmahon to see
what kind of beast had come to visit
him. The room was very dark, and
he had not firearm in the house. nor
a weapon of any kind at hand. So he
lay quiet and waited. The animal came
up 10 the bedside, and, instead Of
ieaping upon him, as lhe had feared, it
stood quietly looking at him, and final
Is laid its head on the bed and gazed
at him. Its action was so much like
that OF a collie which Mr.. McMahon
used TO keep that he put out his hand

animals head and stroked it down over
the back. as he used to do to his dog.
and he did tbs several times without
a sound or a motion on the part Of
his strange visitor.
Then the weirdness, the strangeness,
the unnaturalness of the uncanny sit
uation dawned upon him, and he was
seized with terror. He was certain
that he had either a strange wild beast
from the plains or mad animal to
deal with. His two hired men were
asleep in the second room from his,
and he was alone in the darkness with
this strange presence. His overwrought
nerves demanded action, and would no
longer remain still. seizing blanket,
he leaped from the bed, and, protect
ing his hand with the blanket, he Crap

JAMAICA GINGER POISON.
Supposed Suicides Now At
tributed to Its Use.

1t is now believed by many that
George E. Nelson's death was
caused by drinking Jamaica GIN
ger. There are several reasons for
this conclusion. 1t is stated on
good authority that a certain
brand ofJamaica ginger is made
by the use of wood alcohol.
Within radius of ten miees OF
Eutaula, within the past week, it
is said, three men have been kill
ed by drinking this stuff. 1T is
now definitely known that DR..
Huffaker, of Clarksville, who died
last Sunday night or early Monday
morning, came TO his death by
the drinking of Jamaica ginger,
and it was supposed at the time
that be committed suicide; but in
the evening, when a. boy living at
or near Clarksville, died from
drinking Jamaica ginger Of the
same brand as that which Dr..
Haffaker drank, the suicide theo-
ry was abandoned.
Friday, May A, Nelson and others
were out near Olalksville fishing.

forbade it, and told them to drive him
into a vacant room and hold him pris-
oner. Mr.. Mcmahon went to the
kitchen and began to battle his wounds,
while the men prepared the room for
the coyote.
Before they were ready he leaped
out at the window by which he had en-
tered and walked around TO the
kitchen. Standing on his hind legs, the
animal placed his front feet on the
window sill and for several minutes

effects IL due TO the lack OF knowledge
