Ran the Pony Down With Dogs.

It is not customary to run
horses down and catch them with
dogs like foxes, but such was done
one day last week. A few weeks
ago a lot of Indian ponies, wild as
bucks, were sold here, and since
then many man has had his
hands full trying to break them.
Mr.. Tom Redwine was, one of those
who bought ponies, but his imme-
diately broke loose from him and
roamed at large. The other day
he got track of it, and dogs were
put on it's trail at Mineral Springs.
They ran it for all the world like
a fox, driving it to the ssCatawba
river, and back to the village of
Waxhaw, when it gave out and
was caught by the men who were
following the dogs.--Monroe Jour

chant From Being Buried Alive.

Nathan F. Chidester, business
man of Jefferson, Texas, was at
tackled with a seri Gus illness re-
Gently and died, &C cording to the
attending physician. An under
taker prepared the body for burial;
1t was wept over by the family,
and one day last week the funeral
services were he]. at the Chides-
ter home. A clergyman delivered
q powerful" ser mon, at the close
Of which those present were invit-
ed to take last look at the dead.
A relative of Chidester's noticed,
when she looked at the face. that
the lips were moist. With q cry
she declared that the man was
alive. A hurried investigation was
made and it Was discovered that
he was breathing. Physicians
were quickly summo ned and Child
ester was removed fr ON the coffin.
In short time he had regained
consciousness and WAS sitting up
in bed.
He is now able to walk about
the house, and if NO set back &C.

PRO BONO
PUBLICO
Is Mayor Harrison's Motto Taught
By Experience in the
Recent Disaster.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-As soon as the
coroner releases his control of the Iro-
quois theater the playhouse will again
be given over to the flames if plans
evolved by Mayor Harrison and Walter
/. Fisher Of the City club are carried
out. Experts who will fight over again
the lroquois confagration will have
trained tremen at their elbow to see
that the demonstration of the plans
does not bring about any property loss
outside the partially ruined playhouse.
The purpose of again firing the thea
ter is to test the sufliciency of city or
dinancos, present and prospective
At a conference just held between
Mayor Harrison and Mr. Fisher this
subject was discussed cXhaustivcly,
and it was decided that nothing that
had been done in Chicago for many
years would approach this plan in the
amount of good for the public
With men who understand every de-
tail of the test 20 watch every action
of the flames and gases and 10 regulate
effects by manipulation OF the venti-
lators and doors, it was urged that the
benefits to accrue from the fire test
would be practically inestimable
With the lroquois stage filled with
excelsior and rubbish and a fire raging
thereon, the conditions being like those
of the fatal afternoon of Dec 30. the
experts expect TO learn "a great deal
about the flames that sWpUt SO many
lives away.
j. Il. Freeman, an expert ON fires
will be asked to take charge Of the test
Six additional churches have been
ordered closed. A number of lodging
houses also will suffer in consequence
of the strict enforcement of city or
dinanceS.
From action taken last night Ivy the
city council it is evident that the the.
alters in this city win not be able to re-
open their doors for some time.
