it while out hunting one day last spring,
and he brought IL home to exhibit il to hs

cage and placed at the back Of the saloon.
The little fellow would stand no foolin;,
however, and at the least attempt 10 a2-

done TO make the animal comfortable.
In time he became more tame and a. ss

He became favorite with everybody VINO

how TO do a number Of tricks. He eats
dozen bananas a day and will go through
the pockets Of any one whom he knows,
usually finding something. He and Rap,

comical to watch the two together the dog

dogs licked in no time. They turned tai
and ran out Of the place for all they wers

He landed on the back Of the largest

by scratching and biting him.
Il was a victory for Pete and he seemed
TO realize it, for he walked up 10 whers

PREHISTORIC REPTILES.
Remarkable Find of Professor Brown in tho Vicinity of the Little
 Colorado River.

 ural History, situated In Central Park, New York
 The professor stated that the expedi- tion left Holbrook on May 8, and fol- lowed the Little Colorado river to a point northeast of this city.
 In speaking of the formation and gen. eral appearance of the country which they traversed he said: "After leaving HolbroOk 1 saw on either side of the river escarpments of the upper triassic beds, composed of inlerstrati- fed marls and sandstone of character istic pink and red tints, rising in rugged broken bluffs tOa height of two and three hundred feet. These same beds are continuously exposed on either side of the river to a point where the box canyon of the Little Colorado begins to Tanners crossing. At this point a beautiful geological section of entire triassic series was made, reaching from Moen Copie wash to twelve miles below duucT N CEOSS'HS, WuciC VhC '''NSNiS beds were resting on the carboniferous limestone. This section shows the triussic to be about 1000 feet in thick ness, composed of practically three beds. which can be correlated with [ he trassic of Europe. The upper beds consist of massive white and pink cross bedded sandstone, merging into red sandstone, inier-stratified with marls, these sandstones being 5000 feet thick in some places, the whole series of the upper beds reaching a total of l,4OO feet, resting on four-foot stratum of limestone"
 The object of the expedition was toI hunt for vertebrate fossils and make geological cross sections, and corrOlat- ing the different stratas with those of Europe.
 Their temporary headquarters were at Tanners crossing, and it was in the vicinity of this place that their most important discoveries were made, which included the fossilzed remains of prehistoric reptiles and d petritied forest that is not on the maps. They counted thirty-eight petritied stumps standing and whole forest of fallen trees.
 Speaking of the fossil remains which he discovered Professor Brown said: "In the lower beds of the triassic 1 found crocodile remains allied to the g-nera beloden of Europe. These were undoubtedly twenty-five feet in length. A scale which have is twelve inches in diameter. In the same beds found ancestrial dinosaurs of the jurassic forms. These are of special interest because they are found in the base of the trassic and are transitional forms connecting the crOcOdiles with the great group of dinosaurs. Those found in Connecticut occur in the sandstone and are more highly organized"
 The belodons, of which they had at least three species, have never before been found in the West.
 The dinosaurs frequently reached eighteen feet in heighth and seventy feet in length and were kind of gil gantic lizard. According to the plates shown the reporter they would not have taken the first premium at beauty show. The professor claimed they were "plated'-nOt silver plate, just armOr plate.

EuUADoR HAS INTERVIEWED.

On the list hmus.

On the lsthmus.
Washington, Sept. Ga eablegram
has been received from an authorize
tive source in Cali, Colombia, near the
Ecuadorean border. stating that Ecua-
dor has interyened as against Co.
ombia with an army we'll equipped
and with vessels of war. Under these
circumst ances, the cablegram states
it will be necessary to meet the move
of Ecuador by having Colombian war
vessels in Pacific waters near the Col
ombia-Ecuador frontier.
The information in the cab!egram
is considered clear evidence OF Ecna-
doris intention to join forces with the
rebellious element on the isthmus of
Panama. Unt.l now Ecuador has
maintained strict neutrality. bat the
cablegram received today indicates
that the nrst overt move against Col
ombia has been made.
onsiderable surprise IS expressed
at the news of the intention OF Ecua-
dor to invade Colomia. as disclosed by
dispatch received from aali, which
is the most important of the cities OF
the department Cauca bordering on
Ecuador Senior B.aza. the new pres
ident of the latter country, who has
lust assumed Office, heretofore has
given evidence of his -ntenfIon TO or
serve strict neutrality between Gel
ombia and Venezuela in their pending
difficulties. The impression prevails
that the invading force is under the
direction of the intervening party in
Ecuador which probably has force
of men near the border line and is
taking an early opportunity to act
before the new president can stay it.
The real objective point is believed to
be Panama. where the invaders may
assist the Colombian revolutionists
and those who may be brought from
Nicaragua. Reliance is placed, how
ever, by the Colombian officials On the
presence of nited States men of war
at Panama to prevent any attack on
the place. The battleship Iowa is eN-
pected at Panama in day or two,
and with the Ranger now there will
be able to land a considerable force
of marines should this be necessary
TO prevent attack.

Cherokee, Sept. Six years ago
this fall an aged couple by the name
of Schultz, living sixteen miles south
west of here, were murdered. ne
old people had between $1,000 and
81. 800 hidden in the house, $500 being
in the old bible. Only small part
of the money was taken. Three
years ago a man by the name of Skin
ner was tried for the crime, but was
acquitted The murdered woman had
two brothers, George and John Mon
taghnev, living near. Both brothers
are well-to-do farmers. Suspicion
has pointed finger toward the
brothers from the first, but there was
nothing definite. Since that time
Georges mind became unbalanced
and he has been at the asylum for
some time. Johns wife died from
nervous decline. Recently there has
been trouble in the family. and
son of George has turned states evi-
dence and the matter is now before
the grand jury. Both brothers and
their families as well as a foster son

,iis Head on the Floor.

;'ottstlam, Sept. 5.-Prince Chun Wis
Iued the D,ausoleum at Fridenskirche
yesterday and placed wreathes on the
tombs of the emperor and Empress
Frederick. Emperor William received
Prince Chun at noon in the presence
of royal princes, Baron Won Richth-
ofen, the foreign secretary, the prln-
cipal members and generals and the
court dignitaries. The prince read
a letter. written in yellow ink, to the
emperor.
After the audience Prince Chun in
spected the guard of honor, and de-
turned to the Orangery, where the
emperor visited him later.
Prince Chun was to have bowed
three times, lowered himself on his
knees and cast his eyes on the floor
while his secretaries knocke-- Their
foreheads nine times on the floor as
an apology for the murder of Min
lister Won Kettler, but the imperial
authorities concluded at the last mo-
ment that it was better to do away
with such medieval form and sim
ply permit the reading of a letter of
apologys from the throne of China.
1t is generally conceded here that
the settlement of the Chun difficulty
marks another success for Chinese
diplomacy. a semi-otficial intimation
has been conveyed to the press that
the government waived the petition
for forgiveness, owing to 4 desire not
to place China in the attitude of
