The wild strawseerry.

The wild strawberry E very widely
diffused over the surface of the earth,
being found in the chill regions Of the
north as well us in the sunny climes
Of the south. 1t is not tropical plant,
however, and except on mountain sides
Is not found south of latitude So de-
grees north. On the European CONT
nent it grows extensively from Lap
land and the Shetland isles to Italy and
Greece. 1t is also found throughout
western Asia, but is unknown in China
and Japan. 1t has grown abundantly
on the bleak hills of Iceland for CEN
turtles. 1t is found in America from
Labrador and British Columbia to the
pine woods of the southern states and
on the high lands Of Mexico and the
Andes. The hardy plant, with its tiny
scarlet berry, may be said to girdle the
earth on the line of the polar circle and
several hundred miles southwark, ex-
cept that it is not found in the basin OF
the river Amur. in Siberia.

authorized its agent not to exceed
$4,000 in the bidding, but Mr.. Carney,
seeing that Mr. Parker was going TO
go above that amount, bid $3.50 on his
own responsibility. Mr.. Parker raised
it to $4,000, and Mr.. Carney asked for
half hours time to get the consent of
his clients, in order that he might
meet the bid. The thirty minutes were
allowed, but at the end of that time
the sale was declared made at $500.
When Mr.. Carney was able to COM

low the Latter Turned Hunter and
Chased the Red Man.
"A retired officer of the Northwest
mounted police who took part in Mis-
souri, buffalo run forty years ago De-
scribes the impression at the time as
Of an earthquake. The galloping,
horses, the rocking mass of fleeing buf-
falo, the rumbIing and quaking of the
ground under the thunderous pound
ing, were all like a violent earthquake
The same gentleman tells how he once
cav a wounded buffalo turn on an In.
dian hunter. The mans horse took
fright. Instead of darting sideways to
give him Il chance to send n last finish
ing shot home the horse became wildly
unmanageable and fled. The buffalo
pursued. Off they rushed, rider ana
buffalo, the Indian craning over his
horses neck, the horse blown ana
tagged and unable to gain one pace
ahead of the buffalo, the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
like fire, pounding and pounding, closer
and closer to the horse till rider and
buffalo disappeared over the horizon.
ITO this day l have wondered what
became Of that Indian" said the off
Ger, "for the horse was losing and the
buffalo gaining when they went behind
the bluff" This incident illustrates a
trait seldom found in wild animals, a
persistent vindictiveness.-A. G. Laut

been in the piano tuning business al

1885 o'clock Saturday night by Officers
Weaver and Lage. upon the request OF
Boone officers, who wired the city in
advance of the Chicago limited, No. 6,
the description of Walters, who was
thought to be on board. The man
was smooth enough not to give away
his destination by purchasing ticket
at Boone, but instead paid his fare on
board the train to Cedar Rapids.
Walters is wanted at Boone for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
1t is alleged that he gave checks on O
bank in which he had no deposit, sue
ceeding in getting one cashed by
man named Lockard, who filed the In
formation. Both checks were for 50
When taken from the train Walters
threw his check book away, but II was
found Sunday morning on South
Third avenue. Walters admits his
guilt. He was taken to Boone Sunday
evening by constable who arrived

to gain his liberty, but was caught IN
the act by George Herman. who, armed
with q. club. drove him back The mat
ter was reported to the police, ana ne
was locked up In the iron cage inside
the cell. About 2 O'Clock this morning
he was allowed the freedom of the cor
ridor by Officer Weaver, in order that
he might get drink of water. AS the
man had sobered up, the officer judged
he would make no further attempt 10

o'clock he found the prisoner gone and
a bar of the ventilator. which was pried

Old Soldier Disappears and Eff
forts to Locate Him Are
of No Avail
SOME FEAR FOUL PLA'
PLAY
Was Known to be Looking For Money
and Friends Think That He Received
it and Was Put out of the Way in
an Effort to Rob Hm-Has Not Been
Seen Since Thursday.

Christian Schrank, an old soldier in
the neighborhood of 40 years Of age,
has suddenly disappeared and all eff
forts to find him have SO far proved
futile. Schrank has not been seen
since Thursday morning, when he left
the Globe Hotel, on Market street,
where he has been rooming, TO go to
his work He took his lunch buck
ct with him, but there was
not much worry when he did not
return in the evening. When Friday
and Saturday passed, however and still
he put in no appearance, Landlord y
H. Lee began instituting search
Schrank has been boarding at the
Blaney restaurant, corner of Third
avenue and Market street. He ate his
breakfast there on Thursday morning,
and had his lunch put up. Since that
time he has not been to the restaurant
for meal. His belongings are still
in his room at the Globe. just as he
left them he arose Thursday morning.
Mr.. Lee fears that perhaps Schrank
might have met with foul play. He
is known to have been looking for
money about ten days ago, and it IS
thought perhaps he might have re-
ceived it. made known in some saloon
that he had it. and then was enticed
away and robbed. While Schrank is q
drinking man, he does not imbibe to
excess. He has been making efforts CT
late thru an attorney, to secure pen
sion, and only a few days ago his
captain, the only proof of his service,
lacking, was located.
Mr.. Lee has made every effort pos
sible to find Schrank, but up to this
afternoon he has been unable TO find
out anything that will clear up the
mystery.
