 Hardly had this incident been re- corded when Sergeant Happy" nearly fell backward out of his chair at ...le apparition that appeared in the police office door. The apparition was Arthur Very. a negro, who, bathed in crim- son blood, was standing there dangling his head by a string, his neck nearly cut in too.
 pr. GreiI was hustled out of bed and came down to the office and sewed Arthur's head back on again. and then took the patient to the hospital and sewed back his scalp. and also stuck his left kidney together again. which Gus Ware, Arthur's assailant, had thoughlessly severed in an attempt To a,ffiict Arthur with floating kidney. pr. Greil only took twenty stitches in Arthur's scalp. but before taking them. he Tapped the skin open and shut ike 1t was a door. The kidney proved the harder proposition and pr. Greil had to open Arthur's ribs at the back So he could get at the kidney. re cut In AEthur's neck ran from the nape of h is neck around to the ear on the other side from where the cut had started.
 Art hur was so incensed at the whole proceeding that he told the police who did it. and officers D. P. Cantey and Sikes went to Shusiar's quarter. near the gas house, where the carving had been done, and unfeelingly dragged Gus Ware and Will Jones, who stag gers under the sobriquet of "Preacher.' out of their nice warm beds and put them in cells at the guard house. Gus swore he had not intended killing Ar thur. and said if he had wanted to end his fife, he would have cut him In the heel a la Archtlles. Preacher des nies any participation in the matter. saying he simply held Arthur while Gus did the vivisecting.
 Dr. Greil says it was nea. work, and Arthur stands as much chance of re- covery as frozen white particles of water have in the place the preacher" says bad people go to.

HUNTING WILD HORSES.
How 6rumbies In New South Wales
Are Trapped and Broken.

Hunting "brumbies." as the wild
horses are called there. is a favorite
sport in New South Wales Districts
like the Clarence and Stephens and
Manning river watershed are still the
home OF numerous droves OF brum-
bies, and hunting them Is declared to
be very exhilarating pastime. The
first step taken is to stake out n corral
and make all secure except a narrow
entrance. which can subsequently be
gated. On either side OF the entrance
and projecting from ii funnelwlse n
"booby fence" is prepared.
To the simple minded brumby Il
presumably looks like a stockade. and
pieces OF futtering cotton make IL look

MAIL CAMPAIGN ARTICLE RE
GARDING BRAxToN COUNTY
ASSESSMENTS BRANDED AS
UTTERLY FALSE BY FACTS
OBTAINED ~ THE GAZETTE.

An Investigation OF the Gazette
into the statements by the Even
ing Mail day or two ago TO the
effect that the Democratic county
court in Braxton county greatly re-
duced the assessments made on
land owned by Lewis Bennett and
others proves those statements TO
be absolutely false and brands them
as the cheapest kind OF campaign
clap-trap.
The facts In the Braxton county
case are az follows.
Lands owned by Lewis Bennett
and Others. Jointly. in Brax.on coun-
~ were reassessed at the total val
ne OF S9l.4e5. Mr.. Bennett any
more than 400 other land owners
applied to the county court for re-
lief against an assessment claimed
20 be too high. With very few ex-
ceptfon every man who applied for
relief had his land assessment re-
duced and the reduction ranged
'ohi AV 10 ~ per cent, except as
to Bennest's lands. These lands
were assessed at a total valuation
OF s91.46S and the county court
reduced tho amount less than So
900. or less that 10 per cent. The
county court consisted of two DEM
ocrats and ono Republican and one
Democrat voted against reducing It
and the Republican and the other
Democrat voted 10 reduce It. The
Prosecuting attorney was a Republi-
can and agreed to the reduction.
The Bennett lands were wild
lands OF uncertain value at the time
and they were assessed at a higher
rate shaff the average price in the
districts In which they were loca-
ted.
Many OF the leading Republicans
OF the county had their lands re-
ducsd at the same time.--Charles-
