CARRIED MAIL MANY YEARS.
First one-Armed Man Admitted to the
Postal Service Resigns His Po-
sition at Milwaukee.

Elisha H. Bramhall, for 80 years a
mail carrier at the Milwaukee, Wis.
post office. and the first one-armed man
to be admitted to the mail service in the
United States, has retired. Disability is
given in his letter to the postmaster as
the reason.
The veteran carrier came to Milwau-
kee from New York in 1857. and for some
years he worked at the timers trade
with Capt Denny, now superintendent
of the carriers division. At the OPEN
ing of the war he joined the Twenty
fourth Wisconsin regiment and was
made orderly sergeant OF his company.
The loss of one arm was sustained in the
battle of Chickamauga.
Shortly after his return to Milwaukee
Mr.. Bramhall entered the employ of the
post Office and worked regularly until
1888, when he sustained a serious injury
to his good arm. While he was on a farm
at Summit, Waukesha county, recup-
Grating from the injury, fire caught in
the barn. No one else was present to
loosen the cattle. which we're tied to
the managers within the burning build
ing. and he went himself, cutting the
tethers with his crippled arm and saw
ing all the animals. Two years later he
was reappointed to his former position.

ONE 30 & E. c. WINES DRUG STORE A COR MAIN FIRST
FORTUNE FOR GOOD WIFE.
Fathers Will Says Chicagoan Must
Marry or Lose Inheritance
of 100000.

J. Lawrence Tennis, OF Chicago, has
written to a Pittsburg newspaper that
he has been called from Europe by his
attorney to find a wife before July Is
or he will lose an Inheritance of $780,
600, left him by his father, who died in
Alaska six months ago.
1 The will expressed that he must
marry refined and intelligent woman
and settle down, or else divide the es-
tate with a number of brothers.
The newspaper has offered quite a
galaxy of women anxious to share
Tennis pile. Tennis describes his
wishes as follows:
1 want some one l won't have to
apologize for and who could take into
society, old enough to have some sense,
say 70 to SO, and who would be good
fellow with me. Some of the boys sug-
gested that l advertise. l would pre-
fer an eastern woman. l am 35, five
feet six inches in height, brown hair
and eyes, sound teeth, not much of a
beauty, but | know how to appreciate
Il in woman. 1 believe in one law
Tor the sexes, and the girl who picks
me can order anything from the menu
OF life that she wants. and there will
be no questions asked. l am willing to
divide the cash and take my chances
on loving her. l don't think 1 deserve
to pick a ringer"
Tennis explains that his father made
this sort of a will because he had al
ways been good fellow" and he
thought marriage would stop his in
elination in that direction.

SEEKS REVENGE ON A GOAT
Indiana Man Wants $4,000 for Hav-
ing Been "Butted" by the
Fractions Animal.

Can goat butt" n man long enough
and hard enough to DO that mans anat-
omy damage enough to warrant that
man in suing the owner & tn goat for
50 600?
This question will be thres ed CIT in
the courts of Indiana as SON as &C -nsel
for William Fiddler, of Terre Haute,
can get the case brought to trial.
1t appears that Mr.. Fiddler in going
about his business, unarmed, as he was
not expecting an encounter with any
wild animals, ran afoul of a goat owned
by Samuel Graf.
After having surveyed Mr.. Fiddler
from distance, Mr.. CRAFTS goat evil
IDENTIFY decided that there was not
enough room in Terre Haute for both of
them. Accordingly, without giving Mr..
Fiddler notice that any secret society
initiation was on the days programme,
the goat proceeded to butt him.
He "butted" long and earnestly. and
when the smoke cleared away the goat
owned the field of battle and all the ter
ritory contiguous.
Mr.. Fiddler got away somehow-iust
how is not made clear in the bill of
complaint, but he was sufficiently
panied. both physically and mentally. to
cause him to enter suit against Mr..
Graf, the owner Of the goat, for $4,000
