who haze just returned from a fish
iysg trip to upper Bear creek.
The anglers caught a fine mess OF
trout and only psed half OF them for
the evening meal. Just before they
went SO sleep they heard a noise on
the rnck above them. and an investi-
gation revealed a big wildcat sinking
off In the moonlight.
Fearful that the animal would come
back after the trout they hung them
On two upright poles in the ground.
about midnight they were awakened
by the roaring Of a mountain lion
that seemed to be almost on top OF
them. One OF the men was brave
enough to move toward the sound,
hut the fierce roaring Of the lion
scared him away. In the morning
when they went to look for their
breakfast OF trout they found 1t gone.

BRAVES FIRE FOR KITTENS
Firemen Rescue Mother Found Carry
ing Their Lifeless Bodies
Through the Smoke.

New York.-Maternal instinct led a
smoke in an effort to shield her six
little kittens in the s~ix-story loft build
ing at No. la West Seventeenth
street, until the firemen had to carry
her out of the place to save her life.
She was limp and almost s~uffocated
when the firemen picked her up, but
was still making a valiant fight for
her offspring. All six of the little
fluffy felines were dead, but the
mother was struggling toward the
front windows with two Of them in
her mouth in a hopeless effort to get
them into the fresh air.
The fire started in the underwear
shop of Fisher & Co, on the sixth
floor of the building. When Lieuten-
ant Comiskey reached the place with
his fire company he noticed the cat
walking feebly toward the front Of the
loft. She had in her mouth the two
little kittens, but the fire had attained
such Roadway that the lie,ltenant's at
tention was diverted from the mother
cat for a few minutes.
When the fire was under control he
again saw the cat standing over a
box. He went up and found that there
were four more kittens. All of them
had been smothered by the smoke, as
were the two the mother had been
carrying. The lieutenant carried the
mother to the street and Acting Chief
Ross decided to adopt her. He took
her to the engine house at Sixth ave-

extensive preparations lor the pre-

take the form of narrative from the
time, soon after his election when.

do their bidding.
He hopes to show. it Is understood.
that gradually he incurred the EN-
nifty Of many Of the men back Of the

break came only when he proved a
hopeless tool. From that point he
will narrate incidents that he believes
will show the gradual crystailization
of the Impeachment proceedings. it

that Charles +. Murphy, the Tam

cuses of having instigated his i'm

They say the governor will take
the stand and that his story will com
pei the attorneys for the impeachment
managers to call the Tammany lead
er.
Many friends of the governor have
insisted that he ignore the proceed
ings entirely in so far as being pres
ent himself is concerned. Others
have insisted that even If the COVER
nor decided to testify he should not
permit Mrs. Sulzer to tell her story.
But the governor has maintained from
the start that he will tell the story
Of the alleged conspiracy which he
insists brought about his inpeaci1
ment.

a white woman at Brownsville last
Friday morning at 8 o'clock and
was arrested, identified BY the wo-
man and jailed BY 10 o'clock. Al
1880 he was taken from the Jail
By 4 mob Of white men and strung
up to a tree in the court yard.
The negro was a driver for a
grocery store and in his rounds
making deliveries he attacked a
Mrs. lowers on Oak Street. in
the suburbs Of the city. He al
most strangled her, but as she was
a strong and robust woman and
the negro small she was able to
resist him and call for Help. She
phoned the police station and two
officers soon had him under arrest.
He denied that be was the party
wanted. but one of the officers
took him to the woman, who
promptly identified him. He was
placed in Jail and the key to the
Jail was hidden as a precautiOn
against mob violence.
The mob collected and were at
the Jail before the officers realized
that there was any danger. The
doors were broken down with
sledge hammers and an entrance
affected. The few officers that
we're there were powerless to re-
sist such a mob. Nothing was
done to conceal the identity Of the
Of the mob, many Of
whom were prominent men Of the
city.
