requisitton papers on the governor Of III
nOis for Prof. l.. Isrig and his brother,
who are accused of defraudlng c. w.
Christian, an old man in Charlton, out
Of over 500 by a scheme which IS new
in every particular.
They are said to have made an offer
to cure his wife of cancer by a new pro-
cess they claimed to have just discovered.
He readily agreed, as his wife has been
severely afflicted for some time. He asked
them to begin treatment at once, and
they called for six $50 gold pieces. ex-
planning that their method was to soak
them in vinegar and rub them on the
cancer after they had become thorough
~ saturated. Three Of the coins were put
in one small can and three in another.
and they were used alternately.
Strangely enough Mrs. Christian began
to improve under this treatment. One day
last week the Isrigs told Christian that
his wife would be cured by one more
treatment, and they would return to give
It on Friday. Meanwhile the cans must
not be disturbed, they said. or the charm
would be broken. Friday came. but the
men did not. Finally the cans were
opened and were found to contain Instead
Of the gold pieces three silver dollars
each. Christian Immediately notified Sher-
If Manning, who located the Isrigs st
Rock Island, where he had them arrested
pending his arrival.

Huge Specimen at Lincoln Park,
Chicago, Attacks a Keeper.

CHICAGO, Juns &c. w. McCurren,
head animal keeper at Lincoln park, was
severely injured in fight with an eagle.
Edwin Franklin Brown, of Evanston, mas
long kept a pair of golden eagles in
private aviary. They are unusually large
specimens of their kind and Mr.. Brown
presented them to Lincoln park. Mr..
McCur-en went to Evanston to fetch item
to Lincoln park. He entered the big
cage, captured the female cage and hand
ed it to an assistant on the outside
When he turned to catch the other eagle,
the bird attacked him savagely.
AS 1t swooped upon him, McCurren
caught it by leg in his left hand and
held 1t at arms length. With it's olsen
gagged claws the eagle clutched the mans
arm and sank it's long, sharp talons INTO
his flesh. By the wonderful strength OF
grip of the birds foot, one of it's talons
was driven into the wrist so that it's point
showed for half and inch through the
skin.
The eagle continued to belabor it's cap
tor with its pinions until an attendant
rushed in, and, clasping the bird in his
arms, gave Mr.. McCurren an opportunity
to withdraw the talons. Mr.. McCurren's
injury was painful one, AMI was dressed
by physician. 1t has resulted in tenn
