RIDICULOUS STORY ,,vrs

Editor of Tho Times -Dispatch.
sir-In answer to your publlsh-
al article by Mr.. Bossier, OF Ne"
orleans. La, allow me to say that M'.
poss,er has been misled by the faise-
hoods told him by Mrs. Inez Ellis Cor
don as to n dressing gown she WISHES
to sell as having been worn by my
father. Jefferson Davis. when captured.
absolutely deny any connection De
tween Mrs. Gordon and my faHil!g' as
she states she Is my cousin. also
wish YOU to state that the clothes worn
nv nv father. Jefferson Davis. are In the
Confederate Museum here. in Richmond.
Also that he was not In camp nt the
time of his capture, but merely stop
ned over night to bid his VIE ana
children farewell. He had nothing but
his waterproof cloak and his pistols, as
he was on horseback. and therefore the
whole story Is an absurdity, and an Ut
ter falsehood invented by Mrs. Gordon
IN order to enable her to sell this
dressing-gown she says my father
wore do not even know 1t was his:
IL so. it was used after he was put IN
prison.
In both my fathers book and my
mothers "Memoir Of Jefferson Davis a
full account of his capture VIII De
found, but as was there know what
I state is the truth as I was an eye
witness when he was captured. also
know my father did not tell Mrs. Cor
don what she states. as he was lncap-
able Of falsehood and would nave no
object in incorporating facts as to
his capture. Any one creditng Mrs.
Gordons statement will be most de-
plorably misled. Mr.. Bossier informs
me Mrs. Gordon photographed him, ask
ing him to contradict my statement.
I therefore ask you to publish my re-
iteration of the truth, and / hope all
Southern papers will copy this.
Yours truly,
MARGARET H. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
HAYES, Daughter OF Jefferson Davis.
p. S. Mrs. Gordon's statement that
Mrs. Dorsey gave Beauvoir to Jefferson
Davis is also not the truth. Mrs. Dor
sey wished to give my father Beauvoir
and he bought it to avoid taking it as
a gift.

they felled crashed down onto a den

bear and four partially grown cubs,
which were alternating there.
The animals scrambled out and
with angry growls made for the two
men.
Weeks and his son were armed
only with, clubs and axes, but they
promptly attacked the bears, which
appeared to be slightly dazed. They
succeeded in killing two of the cubs
after long struggle with the ami
mails. which awakened to their dan
ger as the fight progressed.
The mother bear, which the men
declare is fully eight feet in height,
and weighs about 500 pounds, at last
retreated with the two live cubs, dis
appearing in the brush.
