Cne Horse Rroke His Neck and An
other begged in Quiclxs sand.

Valdosta, Ca, Feb. pa rather pecu-
horse on the street here. The driver of
a wagon got out TO go in a store and
tied the lines to one of the wheels The
man hardly entered the store when the
horse began to back. The lines wrapped
around the wheel, drawing the animals
head backward. The horse became
frightened and tried to rear up bat the
tight line caused it to fall over on it's
head, breaking the animals neck The
horse was good one.
Another horse and a couple Of gentle
men had a thrilling experience last even
ing at the Mile Branch, one mile above
the city. The gentlemen were Mr.. G..
w. Coffey OF this city and DR.. Stout of
Chicago. The doctor was on Il visit TO
the city and Mr.. Coffey was showing him
the town. They had started to the Fair
Grounds and reached the Mile Branch.
In crossing the stream, the horse begged
up in quicksand and mud, its entire body
going out of sight, leaving only the head
protrudinS from the water. The gentle
men returned TO the city on a street car
and summoned several negroes to go TO
the scene. These got around the animal
and lifted it out of its predicament. The
horse was chilled through and through
but was otherwise uninjured. 1t was
brought to the city and given plenty OF
stimulants and exercised and is all right
now. The recent rains washed away the
plank walk. which has spanned the stream
heretofore and what appeared to be
pretty sandy road was quicksand.
Postal Inspector Fred Peer has been
here two or three days this week, looking
into some violations of the postal laws,
and warrants were issued against two
negroes and a well known white man,
charging them with sending obscene mat
ter through the mails 1t is understood
that the matter was in the nature OF adj
vertisements No arrests have been made
yet, and the names of the parties have
not been given, though it is. understood
that the case Will be sensational.
Messrs. Carter & borough, of this city
have filed a suit for injunction against
the comptroller OF Florida 90 prevent
him from collecting tax which they
afIege is discriminative. They have been
sending a number of statesmen into iE1ori-
da and recently several of them were
arrested and forced to pay a large license
fec, fec which, it is claimed, is not
charged against people living in the
state. The case will be heard in the cir
cult court at Jacksonville next Monday
aud it is said that some very pretty
legal points are involved in it.

indianapolis, Feb. 15.-"Rajah," a Ben
gal tiger at Bostock's Zoo. in the Cyclic
rama building, this morning 30 injured
Albert Nelson, a lad l6 years of age
employed in the place, that he died soon
after reaching the hospital. Nelson was
employed about the ZOO to clean the
cages of the other animals, and had just
been in the cage with the baby lions with
which he played and petted as usual.
He stepped from the cage and, IL II sup
posed, made a mistake In the dark hall
way back Of the cages, and opened the
door to Rajsh's cage. and was inside be-
fore the mistake was apparent.
The employees heard struggle In the
tigers cage, and when they reached the
place Rajah was clawing and biting the
lad. Though no one but Frank BostocK,
the zoo manager, ever entered the cage
of Rajah, w. +. Tanner and Sam stew
enson ran to the scene and entered at
the risk at their lives to save the boy
They grabbed redhot pokers from the
stove, and other employees also armed
themselves with pokers which are always
kept redhot and used for cowing the
beasts.
In the cage q desperate battle was In
progress between Tanner and Stevenson

pistol balls were fired into his body, but
stll the tiger refused 20 let go and
clawed and tore at Nelson's flesh as II
the bullets and red-hot pokers were so
many playthings. The taste of bloCd
had Infatuated him and IL seemed as II
nothing could overcome the brute in his
thirst for more blood.
Meantime the other animals in the zoo
excited by the cries of the tiger and the
commotion occasioned by the rescue
were excited to a degree little less than
Ratah, and the place was one contin-
uous roar. Charles Vaughn finally
brought a revolver and seven shots were
fired IN rapid succession into the body of
