TRAGEDIES OF THE WOODS.
Evidences of Many That Have Hap
pened Out of Mortal Vision.
From Forest aud Strea


one day in the fall of 1883. in the noun
tains of northern Colorado, while engaged
about the ranch. l saw up at the bead Of
the meadow a half-mile away bunch of
dozen antelope coming down from the hills
at fun speed closely pursued by some black
animal. / knew that it must be a black
wolf. since an occasional one had been
seen. and nothing else that l could think
of could run as this was running All who
are familiar with antelope know how won
derfuI is their speed: there are a very, very
few animals which can equal them.
When | first saw them the wolf was per-
haps five or six rods behind, and during the
distance l could see them POSSIBLY eighty
rods} it was gaining steadily but surely,
and as they went out of sight into the hills
on the other side of the meadow it was
seemingly only about two jumps behind,
and they began to scatter as it was closing
in on them
| was so intensely interested that / was
fairly riveted to the spot, and not until
they had disappeared did waken to action
| ran to the bunk house, got my gun. and
ran up a steep. timbered hillside for near
cut to an open valley, for which they were
headed, believing it would catch one within
a short distance. When l got to the edge
of the timber on top of the hill | saw the
antelope all huddled together and standing
still. just as sheep do after being chased or
scared. The antelope would have offered
good shot if it had been meat L was after,
but l cared nothing for getting an antelope,
but did want shot at the wolf.
Judging from the actions of the others, |
felt certain that it had caught one but the
surrounding country was composed of
ridges rayineS and patches of timber, and.
notwithstanding my careful search, failed
to find any trace of the wolf and its prey.
As | trudged back home after my fruit
less chase | meditated, | have often
done since. on the long, unwritten history
of wild-animal life in regions where man
has not broken in upon the natural cOndi-
tionS: of the contests and conqueStS among

up to the mOnarChs of the forest. all un-

LAUREL, Md, July 6, 1901.
Nelson Fisher, the fifteen-year-o son Of
Mr. Ellsworth NJ Fisher, a well-known cit
izen Of this town, was taken to the Gar
field Hospital in Washington yesterday af-
ternoon for the purpose of having a large
number of grains Of gunpowder removed
from his face and eyes. The lad was asked
to touch off a toy cannon Thursday, and
turned to light the fuse. when the cannon
was discharged in his face by some one
else applying the match. The charge of
powder entered his face, chest. eyes and
neck, causing him much pain. The powder
was removed, and Mr.. Fisher was assured
that the danger of evil effects resulting
from the accident was small.
Not many Of the farmers of this vicinity
were enabled to make a holiday of the
Fourth, most of them being busy In the
harvesting Of wheat and other grains The
prospects in some districts are not bright
for a large crop of wheat. While the cron
of straw will be fine one, the grain did
not fill well.
A lively canvass is being made of this
town by the candidates for the state legis-
lature. Mr.. Charles W. Darr, democrat.
and Mr.. James p. Curley republican, have
announced their candidacy for the position
Of state senator. and a hot fight Is looked
for here as both candidates have a largo

Gilbert Islanders i'm Hawaii.
From the Hawaiian Star

The Gilbert Islands, or South Sea colony
is certainly In hard case. The number Is
not very large. but it seems now In the
condition of not knowing where to rest the
sole of Its foot. There are two colonies, one
at Kakaako. and one at Lahaina. The peo-
pie belong to a very low class in the scale
Of development. as their appearance shows
What ought to be done with them is either
to ship them back to the isles of their birth
or to put them on piece Of government
land. The latter might be the best solu-
tion. These people make a living by weay-
Ing mats, hats and so forth. Their larder
is of the most primitive. and shark is con-
sidered delicacy among them.
