SAGAcIOUS DOGS.
Stories Told of Some Remarkable An
imaIs In the Old Country.

SCOFleS ! OlO VI SSItS TSh'c' NeS'S ''''
imaIs In the Old Country.
The following stories, all of which
are properly authenticated, says the
Golden Penny, illustrate more fully
the wonderful power of canine reason
ing. Some dogs seem able to under
stand what is said to them to a re-
markable degree. 1.-THE wisest dog l
ever had" once said Sir Walter Scott,
was what is called bulldog terrier,
I taught him to understand a great
many words, inasmuch that 1 am pos
tive that the communication betwixt
the canine species and ourselves might
be greatly enlarged. Camp once bit
the baker, who was bringing bread to
the family. I beat him and explained
the enormity of his offence; after
which, to the last moments of his life,
he never heard the least allusion to the
story, in whatever tone of voice it was
mentioned, without getting up and re-
tiring into the darkest corner Of the
room, with great appearance OF dis
tress. Then if you said, the baker was
we'll paid or the baker was not hurt
after ALL Camp came forth from his
hiding place, capered and barked and
rejoiced. When he was unable, toward
the end of his life, to attend me on
horseback, he used to watch for my
return, and the servant would tell him
his master was coming down the hill
or through the moor and although he
did not use any gesture to explain his
meaning, Camp was never known to
mistake him, but either went out at the
front to go up the hill or at the back
to get down the moor-side. He GER
tainly had a singular knowledge of
spoken language"
Many cases of a similar understand
ing of human speech by dogs might be
cited, but still more wonderful is the
following anecdote, which appears in
Blaye's History Of Dogs" Of dog
that learned to speak his masters
name. NJ. Blaye says that "a former
editor of the Dumfries Courier declar-
ed most solemnly that he heard a pug

STORIES ABOUT EAGLES.
A Battle With a Stag-knockins a
Sheen Over a Precipice.

Sn66p OVcT ETSSiRiSS'
Some years ago Sir Charles Nor
daunt witnessed in Scotland a strange
battle between an eagle and stag,
with completely dispels any theory that
the ornithologist may put forward as to
eagles not attacking large animals.
The bird singled out from a herd one
particular buck, which 1t succeeded
in driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal repeatedly with its powerful
wings, knocked it down and finally
killed it. Baron Schroeder witnessed a
still more remarkable spectacle. An
eagle attacked a fawn which was one
of a herd in the highlands. The cries
of the little one were answered by Its
dam, which sprang upon the eagle
and struck it repeatedly with its fore
feet. Fawn, deer and eagle rolled
headlong down a declivity and the bird
was dislodged from it's hold and the
fawn rescued. But Sir Kenneth Mack
enzie knows more thrilling story than
either Of these for, according to re-
port, an eagle was rent in twain dur
ing a battle in his forest Of Gairloch.
Fixing his talons in the quarters of a
roe, the bird was dashed against tree,
to branch Of which it endeavored to
hold to stay the flight of its captive.
The bird was halved in an instant.
Many traditions are extant as to ca
giles having carried off and devoured
children. In the north of England the
legend is perpetuated by the name of
many an inn, the sign 1.-The Eagle and
the Child" being common. The most
recent case bearing close scrutiny ap-
pears to be one which occurred In
South Africa. A Boer farmer living
on the veldt just beyond Barberton,
whose stock had been harried by ca
giles, lay in ambush for the aerial rob-
berS and saw one of them descend and
carry off the five-year- child of one
of his Kaffir servants. He shot the
bird, which, with the child still clutch
ed it's grip, fell into a thorn bush.
The bird was dead when picked up,
but the babe was little hurt. The ca
gle measured nine feet from tip to tip
to a similar end, but appear less cred
ible than this one.
Two eagles will stalk a covert In
concert. While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with a
great screaming. driving out its quar-
ry for the hidden eagle to sweep down
and make an end Of it. An even more
insidious method has been observed,
when an eagle, detecting a sheep on
the edge of a precipice, flew at 1t,
screaming shrilly, and with forceful
beat Of wing hurled it into the valley
below, where it could devour it at it's
leisure. There is good reason for be-
lieving, after all, the ancient legend
as to the manner in which Eschylus,
the Greek poet. met his death. 1t Is
said that an eagle dropped a turtle on
his bald head. Algerian travellers are
familiar with the sight of eagles carry
ing turtles and tortoises to a height
and dropping them upon rocks to
break the creatures shells and render
the flesh accessible.-The Scotsman.

ELEVEN JURORS
CONVICT MARKHAM
-a..sas+t-.
Is Found Guilty of impersonat.
ing Conductor and Fleeing
islmmigrant.

Eleven jurors brought In a verdict
of guilty before IL o'clock last night
in the case of the state against Bert
Markham, charged with grand larceny
in the second degree. Markham was
charged with impersonating' a railroad
conductor and securing. the payment
of $71 from an immigrant who was
told it .cwas for additional freight
charges on car of goods which the
immigrant was shipping. Markham
approached the immigrant at the Min
nesota transfer and told him if the
additional charges were not paid his
car, en- route to North Dakota, would
be sidetracked.
Accompanying the verdict was a
recommendation signed by each mem
Der of the jury, requesting the court to
give the prisoner a light sentence.
The case, which has been on trial
three days before Judge Lewis in the
criminal division of the district court,
was commenced with the usual twelve
jurors, but yesterday morning, Charles
Brenck, one of the Jurors, failed to
show up and the attorneys agreed to
try the case with eleven. When Mr..
Brenck made his y appearance some
time later heawas dismissed, with a
lecture from Judge Lewis.
Markham will be sentenced Monday.

GOVERNOR APPOINTS
THE ART COMMISSION
Names Seven Members, as Recon-
mended by the Art Societies,

After some months of delay Gov.
Van SAINT yesterday found it possible
to appoint members of the state art
commission created by act of the leg
islature last winter.
The law provides that the governor
and the president Of the state univer-
sity shall be ex-officio members Of the
commission and that the other seven
members shall be appointed by the
governor from lists presented by the
Fine Arts Society Of Minneapolis, the
Art Workers Guild of st. Paul and the
art committee of the Minnesota Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs. The delay
was caused by failure of the organi-
cations named to agree as to who
should receive the appointments, but
an agreement has finally been reach
ed, and the governor has named the
commission as follows:
Robert Koehler, artist, Minneapolis;
David Erickson, artist, Duluth; Miss
Margaret B. Evans, educator, North
field; Mrs. T. B. Walker, connoisseur,
Minneapolis; Mrs. William Thompson,
connoisseur, Hamline; William Young
bauer, manufacturer, ST. Paul; H. S.
Jones, architect, Minneapolis.

MAKES STREET CAR
COMPANY PAY $4,000
Water Board POstpones Its
ElectrOlysis Suit for a Cash
Consideration.

1t took $500 in cold cash to induce
the board of water commits sioners yes
terday to postpone it's 100000 cleo
trOlysiS damage suit against the street
car company.
This the company agrees to pay the
city and in return it is given an ex-
tension of time until July 1, 1904 to
make some satisfactory arrangement.
So strong were the persuasive powers
of the board that the company further
agrees to pay all damages accruing
from any electrolytic injury to the
boards mains suffered during that
period, to pay all expenses resulting
from the employment of experts and
the making of tests, and to keep the
board fully informed as to the progress
of it's efforts in eliminating the cleo
trolysis nuisance.
The agreement which the company
has announced a willingness to enter
into was announced verbally by Com
missioner Dwyer, of the electrolysis
committee, yesterday afternoon at the
regular meeting, and without further
comment was Endorsed by the other
members.
The progress of the suit and nego-
tiatiOns for a settlement so far have
resulted in a virtual victory for the
board. Instead of $4,000, the amount
that the company will have to pay
over when the agreement is signed
will be near $4,000. The effort to
eliminate electrolysis so far has cost
the street car company a pretty penny
and the end is not yet
1t was expected that a disagreement
would result between the members Of
the board over the proposed settle
ment, but if there was any difference
it developed at the executive meeting
of the committee held Wednesday.
~ I
the company should be dealt leniently
with, but the others insisted on a cash
settlement and carried the day.
The suit SO far has been engineered
by the boards attorney, Thomas Nc
Dermott.

LIBEL SUIT AGAINST

Defense Moves Dismissal of Action
Brought by HennepIn Attorney.

upon the application of the S. S. Nc

Attorney Boardman, of Minneapolis, who
recently sued the, proprietors of McClures

ton with the story printed In the maya
zine showing up the municipal corruption
of the Mill City.
The article in the magazine handled
County Attorney Boardman rather rough

of the McClureg company, and the argu-
ments to dismiss the suit were upon the
ground that the service was not suf-
