SKELETON IN THE GUTTER.
Queer Find Made by NewsbOy in
Street of Atlanta.

Atlanta, Dec. 7.-Of the rag and
bone and hank of hair" nothing was
left in this case but the bone-a wo-
mans skeleton, found in the gutter
by a newsboy, and taken by him to
the police headquarters.
The skeleton was dry as the bones
Ezekiel saw, and a wire run through
the vertabrae showed that the cap
rice of some medical student Or the
janitor of some medical college had
been responsible for putting all that
was left of her out in the cold. Where
she came from, nobody knows, not
even as much as Byron knew about
the richest Romans wife. Maybe she
was somebody's darling. Maybe she
was somebody's cook. The former
more romantic probably seems the
more, reasonable as the skeleton
shows a we'll proportioned form, with
dainty hands and feet.

AIMED AT RABBIT, KILLED MAN.
Hunter is Slain by His Own Trap
gun Device.

Lawrence, Ind, Dec. 26.-A bullet
intended for a ''treed" rabbit fired
from a trap gun killed hunter near
here to-day, but not until he had
captured the animal with his hands
when it was scared from it's refuge.
John w. Cook ran the rabbit into
a hollow log. For some unexplained
reason he arranged his rifle so it
would fire into the log when he pull
ed string. Then he stopped over
the other end of the log and pulled.
Cook received the bullet in his breast
and the rabbit, frightened by the dis
charge, bounded out of the end of
the log into which Cook was peering.
He grabbed the animal and stagger-
ed with it two miles to his home,
where he fell dead.

TIME TO VISIT FAMILY.
Allowed Paroled Convict who Must
Leave State.

Columbia, Dec. 25.-It developed
that George w. Ennis, the ex-Union
soldier, whom the governor paroled
from the penitentiary on Saturday,
has a wife and some children living
in Barnwell and the governor ex-
tended the terms of the parole few
days so as to enable Ennis to visit
them. The condition attached to the
parole was that Ennis must leave
the State within "a hours, but few
more days were granted him in order
to enable the old man to visit his
wife and children in Barnwell coun-
ty before leaving the State, never to
return. Ennis is an interesting char
acter, has served 19 years in the
penitentiary, and is now about IL
years of age. He has two brothers
of wealth and prominence who live
in Illinois and it is presumed that he
will go there when he leaves the
State.

was received here this afternoon of
the accidental shooting yesterday af-

There was queer old specimen of
humanity brought to the Cuyahoga
conuty Jail. He had been convicted
of the crime of cruelty to animals,
and there was no doubt in anybody 8
mind that he richly desrevd the pen
atty inflicted. 1t is the custom to ex-
anime prisoners, however, before
they are assigned to their cells. When
this old reprobate was brought up
the interrogation went thus:
What is your name?"
"Budd Dobbs.'
What is your age?"
''Sixty-eight."
What is your religion?"
"Great snakes! Does a man hat
