Cows Strange Adventure

London.-A Chatham COW, which ma
ture has endowed with an excessively
bad temper, was guilty recently of a
grave lapse from bovine decorum.
She was being driven from market
by new purchaser, when she START
ed in pursuit of small girl. The
child ran into her home. The COW
arrived, painting, and broke in the
door.
Unable to work off her superfluous
wrath in this way, she stumbled up-
stairs and proceeded to demolish the
contents of the best bedroom. Some
one opened the window. The COW put
out her head and forelegs and bel
lowell defiance at the crowd which had
gathered.
But this was the pride that preceded
the fall. Her hoofs slipped on the
zinc roof of the bay window, and she
slid bodily into the street, carrying
the window with her. She was not
injured.

Knocking the weapon from the grasp

blow in the face and then turned his
attention to the second highwayman.
For several minutes the two struggled

used the blade of the weapon. infict-

After his pockets had been searched
by the woman the trio dragged Groew-

fled.
When he recovered consciousness

FACE DEATH ON
SEA AND LAND
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF TWO
MINING MEN.
ShlPWRECKED IN PACIFIC.
Reach Land After the Greatest Diff
Guilty and Then Narrowly Es-
Gale Death on California
Desert

San FTancsco.--On the steamer Cura-
Gao. which recently arrived here from
Mexico, were two men who had passed
through the experience of shipwrec,<
and narrow escape from death in 4
desert, after getting to land. They were
Thomas E. Adams and w. c. Frye, min
ing men, and both Of them reached this
city in the outfits that they wore after
they had escaped from the sea and had
rramped in a starving condition across
he peninsula of lower California. For
tune was particularly good to them and
their companions, despite their tough
experiences.
EARLY last month Adams and Frye,
who had gone to Lower California to
inspect certain mining properties, put
out from Magdalena bay in the gasO-
line launch Navajo for San Diego on
their return. The boat was in charge
of Victor Gum, who had as his assist
ant a big Swede named Ben Sal
berg When the vessel was Is miles
out to sea, the gasoline tanks e.
ploded, wreclling the vessel, and Adj
ans and Fry. with Capt. Gum and
his assistant. were compelled to take
to the skiff that was carried on the
launch. The Navajo herself sank be-
fore they had fairly got clear of her.
For IA hours the four men rowed to-
ward the shore, and only after the great
est difficulty, and when all hands we're
about exhausted, were they successful
in reaching a landing, and this was at
desOlate point of the coast Is miles
north of Magdalena. In taking leave OF
the Navajo the men sacrificed all their
belongings except the clothes they wore
at the time. and both Adams and Frye
left behind them all the money they
possessed. Arriving on the beach
through the breakers, they found them
selves withou, provisions or sufficient
clothing. but they were glad that all
hands had been able to reach the shore.
After brief discussion Of their sit
uation, it was resolved to strike across
the peninsula to Santa Rosalia, on the
gulf coast where the steamer Curacao
was soon to call on her way to this city.

tramp and dropped down the coast

An Auto Wreck.

Duluth. J. Stevenson, aipromi-

the result of an accident to his auto
mobile. Mrs. Stevenson and their
ur-year-old son were in the machine
at the time and the mother was slight

The machine collided with tele-
phone pole on London road at about
Fifty-seventh avenue east, and was
wrecked. Mr.. Stevenson was thrown
forward and his head struck the pole.
He was unconscious for ten minutes.
