]. A. Adams, former resident Oh
Arizona and grandson of Eold John
Browns, whose "soul goes marching
on" wandered away from his camp
on the Colorado desert on May 19 and
sperished for want of water. The
story Of his disappearance is graph
cally told by Charley Fay, one of the
party, as follows: N#&
I'VE went out on the desert pros
pecting for gold. An Indian whom we
had employed to show us where to
find water on the desert caught his
foot in the stirrup while mounting his
horse and fell on his back.
.sTh e horse started to run dragging
the Indian by one foot. AS the ground
was covered with Jagged rocks the In
dian would have been killed had not
Adams run up and taken the horse
by the bit The animal, wild with
fright, reared and plunged. Adams
was twice thrown upon the rocks, and
once the horses hoofs. hit him, but he
still gripped the bit until Mr.. La
mere and i succeeded in releasing the
Indian.
L after the danger was over, Adams
sat down upon a rock and began
laughing, and when asked if he was

little tired, but / guess you'll have to
/ help me set this arm We then start

that he had gone we made every eff

much until daylight, when we found

the tracks all that day and until about
| 9 o'clock the next day, when we came
| to a hard, rocky place at. the foot of
some rock hills. Here we lost the
trail and try as we might we could
not find it again.
For three days we searched the

prettily situated, with forests and
mountains surrounding it. This is

ried over noise they have heard in
the plastered wall of the structure.
They became nervous and tore the
wall out to ascertain the cause.
Here they found a cat, still alive
but worn to a skeleton and the strange
part Of the affair was that the cat had
eaten her tail off bit by bit to sustain
life during the three weeks she had
been a prisoner ..-.... g
The feline had evidently strayed into

on, and had been there until discov-

day in March, 1S66-in which Capt.
Desha and Lieut.. Kimbrough of Gym

Desha had served in the Confederate
army, and Lieut.. Kimbrough was in
the Federal service. The duel was
fought on the line dividing Fayette
and Scott counties, on the James K.
Duke farm. Lieut.. Kimbrough was the
challenging party. Two shots were eX-
changed. At the second shot KIM
brough was shot through the upper
part of the thigh, the ball passing
through the body. He recovered from
the wound, but always limped after

FHects Of Chlorofory1.

Prof. William James of Harvard uni
versity in a recent address in Edin-
burgh spoke of the curious half-con-
scious states, marked by apparent in
crease of intellectual powers, expert
enced by persons who are being put
under the influence of chloroform,
ether, nitrous oxide gas and other an
esthetics. He noted, however, that
all the exaltation of mind disappeared
when the subject began to approach
the normal state again. Still, he was
inclined, he said, to believe that our
ordinary waking consciousness was
one type only of that mental phase,
and that other potential states lay be-
yond it and often parted from it by
the filmiest of screens. THAT may
