SEA OF AZ0V.
:sussia Proposes to Firing WcnIth and
Trade 10 I+s nores by Eecp-
eninE Its Waters.

The Russians propose, not to make 4
lew sea, but to improve an ole ono. The
'ea of Azoy, which lies back of the Girl
nea, is a body Of water go miles long
md SO miles wide. 1t opens into the
Baltic sea, and would be an important
center OF trade were it rot for the fact
hat 1t is so extremely shallow that 10
6cean-Eoing steamer can enter It. Even
mall boats have difficulty In navigating
lts waters. Now the Russian govern
rlant proposes to bring wealth and BUSH
1ess to the shores Of the Sea Of hzov by
Building O dam across the strait by
%hici It communicates with the Black.
Zen of Azov, letting the rivers which
into the shallow body of water fill
/. up to q depth which shall make 1t
practicable for large steamers. 1t Is
thought that n heavy dam about two
.r2ilss long, with G great lock capable Of
taking in ocean steamers, would accom-
plish the desired result. Where the
chores of the sea are high naturally
they would be all right when the water
rose. hut where they are low artificial
shores would have to be constructed,
otherwise the Azov might only be in
creased in area instead of being deep
cred. 1t is a big undertaking. but the
Russian government is seriously con-
sldering the work. and detailed plans
have been prepared. ,

TELLS A WEIRD TALE.
'rof. snoddy Fought OF Strange
Beast With a Bride.

Miller, S. D., Aug. 13.-With bride
and d small penknife Prof. ]. H.
Snoddy, ex-county superintendent and
now state conductor Of institutes, put
up the fight Of his life on the lonely
prairie twenty-five miles north Of here
while hunting his lost horse.
His antagonist was a beast, the name
Of which the professor does not know.
Exhausted from long walking during
the fore part Of the night, and within
half mile Of his lonely prairie home,
the hour being near midnight, he was
about to sit down near the trail on
what he supposed was q rock. when
like flash the supposed rock leaped at
him, the point Of attack being the
professors throat.
The fight was on in an instant, Mr..
Snoddy luckily in striking quick and
heavy blows with the bride getting the
unknown animals long hooked teeth
tangled in the bridle leaving twenty
three distinct tooth marks on the iron
bit, and biting easily through the think
blinds. During this round the animal
stood on its hind legs, and was as tall
as man. Gradually withdrawing
back wards, the professor had five more
similar battles with the determined
beast before he reached the door Of his
house. It may have been a mad dog,
but Mr.. Snoddy thinks 1t more likely
mountain lion, strayed into that
leighborhood from the northwest.

known here by several thousand head
but 1t Is estimated that they will be
fully equalled by shipments this year
Range men are coming into town daily
from points as far out as 125 miles and
everywhere excellent conditions are re-
ported. One reason that shipments are
to be so heavy this year is that sew

that will be admitted to market and
the rest will be sent out for feeders
