clasped fast in its talons. A great
cry of horror arose from the camp,
but it was the sweetest note the
young brave had ever heard. The
bird flew straight up into the
sky until it became a mere speck to
the enthralled beholders below.
When it reached a great height 1t
would drop its prey into the lake and
let the current draw 1t to the nest.
Such was its custom, and FOR this
the young Indian had prepared by un-
winding from his waist a long buck
skin cord, and tying himself firmly to
the Ong's legs. The clumsy feet conld
not grasp him SO tightly as to prevent
his movements. At last the great toes
opened wide, but the Indian did not
fall. Again they closed and opened,
and the enraged bird thrust down his
head to see why his victim refused to
fall. In mighty rage the Ong tried
to grasp the man in its mouth, but
the strong web between the set birds
toes sheltered him. Again and ags in
the bird tried to use his horrid teeth,
and each time his huge body would
fall through the air in such twistings
and contortions that those who
watched below stared in bewilder-
ment. But what the watchers could
not see was that every time the huge
mouth opened to snap at him, he
young brave hurled q handful of
poisoned arrow heads into the mouth,
and down the big throat, their sharp
points cutting deep into the unpro-
tected flesh. The bird tried to dis
lodge him by rubbing his feet to-
gether, but the thong held firm. Now
it plunged headlong into the lake.
but its feet were tied so that IL could
not swim, and though it dashed the
waters into foam with Its great wings
and though the man was nearly
drowned and exhausted, the poison
caused the great bird such agony that
1t suddenly arose and tried to escape
by flying toward the center Of the
lake. The contest had lasted long,

SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS.
How An Innocent Man was Sus-
pected.

How An Innocent Man was Sus-
pected.
A little story was told at the New
Willard Hotel In Washington the other
day by New Yorker who was travel
ing on a Pullman car between st.
Louis and his home, which goes to
show the danger Of convicting man on
circumstantial evidence. The principal
figure In this incident was not con-
victed, but had it not been for for
tuitous circumstance it might have
gone hard with him.
1T seems that one of the occupants
Of the car on getting out Of his berth to
dress missed his vest, which was q
rather serious affair, inasmuch as 1t
contained in an inside pocket roll or
money which consisted Of six brand
new 500 bills.
"a little later he picked up the gar
ment on the floor, but on searching, the
roll Of money was gone. 1t was
clear case of robbery, and the man
naturally raised an excited outcry,
which drew the attention OF all his
fellow-travelers. Early In the game
the proposition to search everybody III
that coach was made and adopted W. n
but single dissenting voice. One man
stood out fiercely and Indignantly
against 1t, and said that he would
never consent to such an indignity, but
would oppose it with all the force he
could employ.
"This man was at once an object OF
suspicion, and many whispers directed
at him went around. Every other indi-
vidual aboard voluntarily submitted to
being searched, yet nothing was seen
Of the olen bills. At this point some
amateur Sherlock Holmes cornered the
porter, and by adroit questions and
threats. made that rascally employe
own up to the theft, and also made him
disgorge 5000 in handsome notes that
appeared to be right from the Print
ing Bureau. The owner of the money
was overjoyed and all hands congratu-
lated him on recovering his money.
About this time the Obdurate gen.
tleman who had resolutely declined to
be searched secured the floor. Now,
my friends said he, Il will tell you
why 1 risked your suspecting me Of the
theft and What did this man do but
go down in his hip pocket and fetch
up a roll Of money that he counted out
in our presence, and, as sure as 1 am
living man, in this roll there were
just six-no more and no less-brand-
new bills, each Of 500 denomination
Positively there was no way Of telling
them from the bills that had been re-
covered. Then we all knew why he had
declined to be investigated"

The old Indian woman glanced
furtively at the distant sky line, and
then centered her gaze upon the deep
crystal waters of the lake. The Ong?
she said. 1 will tell you of the Ong.
The Ong was q huge bird, greater
than the houses of the white men. Its
body was like the eagles, and its
wings were longer than the tallest
pines. It's face was that of an In
dian, but covered with hard scales,
and its feet were webbed. It's nest
was deep down in the bottom OF the
lake out in the center, and out of the
nest rushed all of the waters which
fill the lake. There are no rivers to
feed the lake, only the waters from
the Ong's nest. All the waters flow
back near the bottom, in great under
sweeps, and after passing through the
meshes of the nest are sent forth
again-S Every plant and bird and ami
NAL that gets into these under-cur
rents, and sometimes even the great
trout are swept into the meshes of
the nest and are there held fast to fur
nish food for the Ong.
He ate everything, he liked every
thing, but best of all he liked the
taste of human flesh. No one ever
heard or saw anything of such poor

Am Dying Egypt, Dying.

am dying Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark, Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh! Queen, support
me.
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran le-
gions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and shattered gal
leys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards sur
round me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
I must perish like a Roman
Die, the great Triumvir still.
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew
him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung world away!
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her-say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, Augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commin-
gled,
Yet shall mount the throne of
kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Eggplant
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to stygian honors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine;
can scorn the Senate's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
am dying Egypt, dying!
Hark! insulting fOeman's cry;
They are coming-quick, my falchion!
Let me front them ere l die.
All! no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell:
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra! Rome! farewell!

CHICKAMAGUA ANNIVERSARY.
One Of the Great Battles of the Rebel.
ilon-Tragic Death of Poet-Soldler
General LytIes

one OF the Great Battles OF the Kebels
iion-Tragic Death of Poet-Soldler
General Lytle.
Forty-two years ago the latter part
Of September was fought and won by
Rosecrans the great battle Of Chicka-
magua.
Chattanooga, the objective point of
the campaign, has been well considered
the very gateway Of the entire South.
Bragg, In command of the Confederate
force, was outwitted and outma-
neuvred, and the town Of Chattanooga
fell into Federal hands, entirely by
strategy.
Chattanooga was then but poor,
struggling village, never having been
even heard of by one in a thousand OF
those who composed the Northern
army. 1t Is now a wealthy, prosperous
city of over 10000 inhabitants and the
home of many Northern families. An
electric line runs from the city to
Chickamagua Park every 80 minutes.
The celebration Of the anniversary
Of the battle, from the 10Th to the 23d
of September, where the tales Of the
campfire and the picket line were once
more recounted, has been of surprising
interest to thousands Of old veterans
and their quondam foes.

mortals as We're drowned in these wa
tiers, for their bodies were carried to
the Ong's nest and no morSel ever
escaped him. Sometimes he would
fly about the shores in quest of some
child, or woman or hunter, yet he was
q great coward, and was never known
to attack anyone in camp, or when
two or more were together. No arrow
could pierce his feathers, nor could
the strongest spear do more than
glance from the scales on his face and
legs, yet his craven's heart made him
afraid, for his toes had no claws, and
his mouth no beak.
Late. one fall the Washoe Indians
were making their final hunt before
going to the valleys and leaving the
lake locked in its winter SHOWS. The
Chiefs daughter was sixteen years
old, and before leaving the lake he
must select the greatest hero In the
tribe for her husband, for such had
been the custom of Washoe chiefs
ever since the tribe came out of the
Northland. Fairer than ever Indian
maiden had been was this daughter,
and every unmarried brave and war
rior in the tribe wished that he had
performed deeds Of greater prowess,
that he might be certain of winning
the prize. mat laSC night Ut the lake,
around the big council fire, each was
to smoke the pipe and recount to the
Chief the noblest achievement of his
life, and when all were heard, the
Chief would choose, and the women
Join the circle and the wedding take
place. For many years the warriors
had looked forward to this event and
the tribe had become famed because
of acts of reckless daring performed
by those who hoped to wed the
Chiefs lovely daughter.
1t was the morning of the final day.
and much game and great stores of
dried trout were packed ready for the
journey. All were preparing for the
wedding festivities, and the fact that
no one knew who would be the bride
groom among all that mighty band of
warriors, lent intensest excitement to
the event. All were joyous and hap
by, except the maiden and the hand
some young brave to whom she had
given her heart. In spite of custom
or tradition, her love had long. since
gone out to one whose feet had been
too young to press the war path when
last the tribe gave battle to their
hereditary foes, the Piutes. He never
had done deed Of valor, nor could he
even claim the right to sit with the

Nursery Nonsense.

Two magpies sat on a. garden rail
AS long ago as a week;
And one little maybe wagged his tail
In the other little magpie's beak.
Then doubling like a flst his little
claw hard
Said the other "Upon my word.
This is more than flesh and blood can
stand
From maybe or other bird"
SO they picked and they scratched
each others eyes
Till all that was left on the rail
Was the beak Of one Of the little mag
pies,
And the other little magpie's toll.

The battle Of Chickamagua, which
followed Chattanooga, was most desper-
ately contested on both sides.
Bragg was reinf| ICED by veteran
corps from Virginia, under Longstreet,
and Buckner's Corps from East Ten
nessee, until his forces outnumbered
Rosecrans' by over 1900, and yet the
Northern army, by wise and vigorous
marching day and night over noun
tains and through passes, and by the
concentration of widely scattered
forces, inflicted such terrible losses
that Bragg was incapable of any but
the most cautious following when
Rosecrans fell back to occupy Chatta-
nooga, for which he had been contend
ing.
Among the many brave officers on
both sides who gave up their lives for
their beloved causes there was none
Drawer, none more mourned than the
Union Brigadier-General, VIM. III.
Lyle. About to give the order to
charge. he was struck in the head by
bullet and fell dying in the arms OF his
aid.
His poem of ANTHONY and CleOpa-
tra," generally believed to have been
composed the night before the battle,
but which, as q matter of fact, was an
earlier production, has been classed as
one of the most mastery lyrics In
American poetry.

Glenwood Springs, Col, May l.
Unique in the history Of Colorado
was the church service held at the
Old Blue Schoolhouse, on West
Divide Creek today, attended by
President Roosevelt and his hunt
ing party, and all the ranchmen
and their families for miles away.
The little district school building
was not a tenth part large enough
to accommodate the congregation
and as a result the organ was
moved to the front porch. On the
porch seats were provided for the
president and his party, the Rev,
Horance Mann of Rifle, Col, the
choir and the trustees of the
church. The members of the con-
gregation stood or sat on the
ground of the school yard or in
their conveyances. After the pas
tor had concluded his sermon the
president spoke for ten minutes.
He expressed his well-known
views on good citizenship, the
morality of man and patriotism
and duty to home and country.
He was cheered heartily through
out his remarks.
He concluded with "And now

you. There are a good many of
you. so don't stampede or get to
milling" AS the president made
use of the cattle terms the ap-
plause was terrific.

A Fify-Three Thousand Dollar Oil
Deal Closed

An oil deal Of great moment TO
the oil fraternity in general was
closed a few days ago, and as ).
result some of the best oil proper
ties in the surrounding country
were purchased by capitalists OF
this city. The price paid for the
property was $4,000.
The property embraces the In
graham property at Waverly,
which, in the past, has been own
ed and operated by the Hochstet-
ter company. 1t consists of some
fifty wells, all of which have
settled production in the Cow Run
sand. The strike on this prop
erty was made about ten years
ago, during the heat of the oil
boom in Washington county, O.,
and since that time it has made
almost a mint of money for its
owners. The production is hold
ing up well and the property is
considered one of the richest and
best developed tracts in the oil
territory for miles around.
The deal was made direct from
the Hochstetter company to Me-
Coy & Company of this city.
There are some locations left on
the leases, and these will be drill
ed at once.
1t is probable that the new own
ers of the purchase will clean out
the wells and do much to bring up
the production. The deal between
the two well-knOwn parties had
been pending for several days
but was practically unknown to
but few Of the local oil men.
The present daily production OF
the above oil company. which is
composed of II. w. Mccoy. DR.. J.
r. Stathers and Samuel MeSser Of
this city, is 80 barrels per day.
