Had His Rooster.

Jailer Morris of Rankin county is
very much puzzled over a mysterious
happening in his Jail last week. A
negro prisoner was found sitting in
his cage one morning tenderly nurs-
ing a big one-eyed rooster which he
requested the jailer to have killed
and cooked for him. He declined
to tell how he had managed to get
the rooster, and as there were no Wis
itors in the Jail that day it is i'm
possible to fathom out the mystery.
The fowl was too large to fly in be-
tween the bars, and even had it done
so could not have been pulled
through the bars of the cage. The
negro had his chicken, but stoutly
declared that he would never tell
how he got it.

MINISTER'S SEVERE TRIAL.
Rev. Frank Hoyes' Etcaps in Nor.h
Topakas Flood.

Many people here know Rev. Franl
Hoyes. formerly Methodist pastor
at WakeSsld, and we believe at Chap
man He lives in North Topeka, In
small oae-story house ON high
ground. He did not suppose water
could possibly reach him, but on
Saturday evening his neighbors living
on lower ground commenced to come
to his house reporting that their
houses we're filed. Soon he had
seventeen, and still not dreaming
that the water could reach his house
he was hopeful and confident, but the
waters continued to rise till they
were driven up into little cubby
hole over the joistS,a very small space
covered with boards. Nineteen peo-
pie stayed until Wednesday, and one
old lady Of eighty and Mr.. Hoyes'
wife about seventy.
On Wednesday they were rescued
and all went out except Mr.. Hoyes
and his wife. They offered to take
one Of them In the last load, but the
reply was you cannot separate us
now, and SO they both remained until
the rescuing party came back.
The agony Of those days, according
to Mr.. Hoyes, no one can measure.
He lie in very poor health and 1t Is
feared the exposure and effects Of be-
Ing in the water will soon end his
life. His house was uninjured but
bis goods were badly damaged. He
and his wife are being cared for BY
Rev. A. 8. Embree.
