carcass, furiously stamping on it till
it was a shapeless mass.
Meanwhile the cows were having a
hard time with No =. But they man
aged things differently and had affairs
more their own way. They ran toward
the gator and, Watching their chance,
Jumped on him. This was done re-
Peatedly and the gator did not get
chance hardly to strike back. One cow
yentured too close and the gators
long tail came around with a thud and
struck her fairly on the side, sending
her dozen feet. The others, enraged
by this, followed their charges by try
ing 10 gore the gator. He kept out
of their way by striking at them and
trying TO seize their noses in his jaws.
One COW was caught by this means and
half thrown. AS she stood there trem-
bling and moaning with pain. the bull,
who had just finished his victim, heard
her. He came up with roar and
with the utmost fury pitched at the
gator. The willy saurian heard him
coming and had turned half around
when the bull caught him on his horns
half lifting him from the ground. The
gator clawed and bit at its antagonist
and the fight for several minutes was
a warm and bloody one. Finally the
bull triumphed and got the gator un-
der his feet, when he trampled him TO
death.
No. was all this time trying to get
the calf into deep water, but the little
fellow was fighting as well as he
could and bleating loudly. The gator
had gotten him into two feet Of water
when Mr. Carew appeared on the
scene. He drew his gun and killed No.

jim Carew, who lives ten miles above
Fort Bassinger, Fla, on the river, has
some fin. cattle, and the best of the lot
he pastures IN an inclosed pen near the
river. There were four CONS. d bull
and two calves in the lot the other
morning when, hearing a terrible din,
he trotted out with his gun 10 see what
allied his pets. Three gators had man
aged TO get into the inclosure from
the river side, and while one was stalk
ing a calf that he had managed 70 get
to the waters edge, the other TWO were
fighting the enraged cattle.
Gator No. I, the biggest of the lot
and an ugly customer, was fighting the
bull while No. was trying to keep
out of the way Of the frequent and
furious rushes of the cows. No. 3 had
the calf in charge. 1t was bleating
loudly and this served to infuriate the
cattle
The fight between the bull and his
antagonist was furious and bloody
one The bull charged up to the sau-
aside and gave the bovine a terrible
blow with its tail that staggered him.
With a loud below of rage the bull
turned quickly and with good luck
hooked the gator on the side, half
turning him over. The saurian ragged
and beloved and finally managed 10
get loose. He then struck the bull
again a sounding whack, half knock
ing him down. Following this he dart

jaws on the nose The bull beloved
with pain and stamped on the gators
head For a few minutes they plunged
around and then the bull got loose.
With more caution he plunged at the
gator and managed to gore him badly,
partly ripping his side open. The
gator had enough now and tried to
crawl away, but the bull kept on push

A plate of hash proved more dead

years experience as a soldier during
the war of the rebellion. He was

union in Dallas, Tex, and regaled
himself with a breakfast, the chief

to have in it a piece of shoestring
with a brass tip at the end. The
brass tip caused a fatal attack OF

directly across Hoag lake he landed

parachute exhibitions at HOag park.
Hillman's balloon, a massive hot air
one, was being prepared for the aft
ernOOn exhibition, and Ward and 9TH
ers were assisting. Everything
ready, the professor gave the word,
the balloon was released, and swift
ly mounted into the air with the pro-
fessor hanging to the parachute.
Ward started to get out of the way
as the balloon was released, but his
left foot caught in one of the guy
ropes. and, to the horror of the sew
eral thousand spectators, he was car
ried into the air suspended head
downward. His weight held the bal
loon on its side, in danger of an i'm

Ward dangled from the balloon about
ten feet above the aeronaut, and be-
yond his reach. If the balloon was
brought to an upright position there
was some chance for Ward, so, after
a few words of advice as to how to
secure himself and draw himself up
right, Hillman released the parachute

safely to the ground.
The balloon, freed from this
weight, righted itself and shot up

landed in Il tree unhurt.

FEATURES

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L.
 Mclean & Co.
 New York, June 21.--The speculative interest of the public is becoming more apparent daily; in fact, the market act ed to-day like a genuine run away bull : movement. Conditions have improved considerably, and whereas one year ago the leading topic in financial circles was the damage to corn, the exact re- verses is the rule now, and it is gener- ally conceded that the largest corn crop on record is practically assured.
 We have used our best efforts for some weeks past, to induce our cus- toners to buy stocks before the present movement started, but it is not too late yet and we advise getting into the market immediately, on any slight re- action which occurs, as big bull move- 1nent shrould rule throughout August. when prices will probably advance to still higher level
 In addition to buying the stocks rec commended from day to day in these 1et- lers were also suggest the purchase of Peopie's Gas, Copper and Sugar al- though the last two are somewhat dan- gerous and should not be bought ex- oept with reasonable stop orders The lower priced railways look particularly safe, while Union Pacific Southtertn Pa- cific and Atcthison will probably con- tfnue to be the leaders.
 Chicago markets: On the very favor able crop weather there was some lioui- dation in both corn and wheat and on any further decline in wheat would again advise it's purchase.
