of Merrimac fame and osculatory noto-
riety, is again brought to public view by
virtue of having saved young woman
from drowning in the Mississippi near
the Chautauqua Grounds at Piasa, ILL.,,
Yesterday. From the accounts in the
newspapers one would suppose the
young woman jumped overheard for the
purpose of being rescued by Hobson, as
she asked him previously if he would
rescue her should she fall into the river.

Tulsa, /. IT,, July ia Greek In
dian boy, Charles Mingo, was found
dead Wednesday, securely fixed on the
horns of a wild Texas steer. He had
evidently been there all night. When
found, the steer was trying to dislodge
the boy by rubbing against the banks of
a small rayine In which the animal was
standing, completely tired out from an
all night run. The steer was imme-
diately shot and the body taken from its
horns. The boy was terribly mangled
and bruised by the horns, one of which
ran clear through the body.

The State Department announces to-
day that its attention had been officially
called to the recent statement of Consul
General Bragg, of Havana, contained in
letter, to the effect that the United
States could not hope for anything good
from the Cubans. 1t was not said how
this information was officially brought,
but it is believed it is through Minister
Squier. Appended is an explanation by
Consul General Bragg, to the effect that
his remark was personal one and that
he should not be held officially respon-
sible for it. Notwithstanding this ex-
PLANTATION all the papers in the case have
been forwarded to the President at
Oyster Bay and he is to decide whether
or not General Bragg is to remain in the
Consular service.
