Writing of the kiangs, or wild horses,
of India, found near the land of Tibet,
Thomas W. Weber in The Forests of
Upper India and Their Inhabitants"
says:
Here for the first time we saw the
kiang, or wild horse. Several herds
came to look at us as we marched and
galloped around, neighing and kicking
up, but kept at a respectful distance.
They have big, ugly heads and tails
and ears like mules and a black
stripe down the back; color, light bay,
with white noses. They have fine free
action in trot and gallop and are four
teen to fifteen hands high, strong in
the legs and heavy in the body. We
were welcomed by the neighing of nu-
merous wild horses to the land of the
kiang. Several herds kept circling
round, the old stations approaching in
quite threatening manner, snorting.
squealing and kicking up their heels,
while the mares and foals galloped off
at more respectful distance There
was herd of kiangs which careered
about our camp in a most objectiona-
BILE way, making the most fearful dis
turbances. We witnessed battle roy
al between two stations, which for
ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any

the pair went at one another like ii.

1Ae pulbisiT WuiIleu TOulu anu uisap-
peared through an inner door leading
into the passageway.
Prindle hastily felt about the floor
for the revolver, but the weapon not
meeting his hand at once, he rushed
after the burglar. His blood was on
fire with anger. Listening an instant,
he heard feet flying up the stairs above
him. Apparently the robber had plan
ned to escape to the roof and slide
1elS rain pipe into the dark alley
at the rear.
Prindle sprang up through the roof
hatch as the man crossed the almost
fiat roof toward the rear and caught
him as he reached the low parapet
wall at the roofs edge.
The robber was of larger and heav-
Ter mold than the lineman and was
desperate. As they grappled he tried
to draw knife from his pocket, but
Prindle clutched those awful fingers Of
his into the mans throat and tripped
him backward. They came down to-
gether on the pitch and gravel of the
roof, but the rush and fall threw Prin-
die beyond his antagonist, tearing his
hold loose. In another breath they
were together again. fighting desper-
ately.
As they came striking and struggling
into the angle of the parapet Prindle
suddenly felt himself lifted bodily, and
the next instant he was being pressed
over the wall. Feeling himself going,
he set his fingers into the biceps of the
burglars left arm and pinioned his
right hand In that awful moment he
felt the cords of his arms and fingers
contract until they burned like hot
wires. With cry of agony the robber
jerked him back to the roof, then whirl-
ed and ran across the roof. drawing
the knife as he fed. Prindle saw the
moonlight CLINT of the knife blade. and,
battle, he recoiled. The burglar turned
in the angle of the wall, striving to re-
gain breath before the next onset.
A power wire stretched across the
roof some eight or nine feet above the
floor. Prindle drew a pair of rubber
faced gloves from his pocket, drew
them on and suddenly leaped up and
caught the wire. AS he descended the
wire snapped and fell to the roof. In
stantly he caught up the two ends of
1t and sprang at the robber, who met
him with uplifted knife.
The craftsman seemed to divine the
terrible nature of the tiny weapons in
the lneman's hands. for his face
blanched white. In the moonlight Prin-
die looked equally pale. If he could
touch the robbers flesh with the bare
ends of the wires. he would win; If
not, he would probably die by the 9TH
er's knife.
1t was strange duel. They tented
several times, then struck together.
The clothing was sheared away from
Prindle's arm. but the burglar fell in
knotted, quivering heap. The point of
one of the live wires had gone up his
sleeve; the other had punctured his
neck.
When the burglar recovered his
senses. Prindle had him securely tied
with detached pieces of the wire and
was at the front parapet of the roof.

officer.
The bank people gave Prindle hand
some reward. When metallic circuits
had been run by the telephone compa-
ny on his suggestion and they found
the troublesome induction overcome,

dent. It is true that there is

influences, beca use of Mr..
Roosevelt's position on tn e
trust question. But it is more
certainly true that the people,
the plain people, believe in
the Presidents honesty of pur-
pose and in his strenuous
methods of acting for what he
believes to be the right. Sena-
tor Hanna held a commanding
position under the late President
Mckinley, due to the close friend
ship and mutual admiration that
had joined them for years, and
he doubtless feels the difference

he has wisely desided not to try

rHr PRESIDENT AND SENATOR HANNA

Early in the week, Senator
Hanna gave out an interview in
the course of which he said that
the Republican State Conven-
ton of Ohio would not endorse
President Roosevelt for a second
term. His claim was that as he
had made the campaign in Ohio,
and would, as the candidate for
Senator, be the leading factor
in the convention, and as he was
the Chairman of the National
Committee, such action would
be misconstrued by other candi.
dates. AS there are no other
candidates announced, and a1 the
President has the endorsement
already Of a clear majority of the
delegates, the Senator's claim
was rather far-fetched.
