Golden Rumor Is Afloat.

A rumor was current upon the streets today that residents of the wild cat hills neghborhood three miles west of Camp Ground had dis covered traces of gold in the rocks and hills of that section and that farmers in that region are very much interested in the reported find Just how accurate or well founded the report may be no one seems to know.
 Huse Bone, who owns some land in the Camp Ground section, visited his property yesterday and he heard of the reported find while there. Levy Thompson, who owns a farm about one mile west of Camp Ground, told MT. Bone that he had heard traces of the yellow metal was dis covered about three weeks ago and that some of it had been accumu- lated by those searching for the precious money-making stuff.
 Some persons are inclined to be- lleVe the report ana are of the Opln- ion that those discovering the metal are endeavoring to keep their find a secret. MT. Bone made inquiry after returning to the city last eve ming but found that the report had not yet reached the city, his in- formation upon the subject having been gained while he was at his farm.
 A few gold mines and dozen or so oil wells with little gas on the side should serve as pretty good boost for the city. We already have a whole lot of mica and good pros poets of a rich strike of oil on the Lovelady farm.

 HOW JACK STILLWELL WHIPPED A RATTLESNAKE

Gen. Sandy" Forsyth's band of scouts had been surrounded by Chief Roman Noses Cheyennes and in the sandy bed of the Arickaree river in eastern Colorado they were fighting for their lives one September day in 1868. They had no food; their doc tor had been killed, and relief must come soon if they were to be saved. Forsyth called for volunteers to go to Fort Wallace, Kan, 100 miles away, for aid
 Every unwounded man at once of- fered himself for the perilous journey. but the general selected Pete Trudeau, an old hunter, and Jack Stillwell, a boy of nineteen. When night came the two scouts started. Taking off their boots, they walked backward down the dry river bed in their stock ing feet to deceive any Indians who might come upon their trail.
 When morning came they hid in q dry ravine within sight and sound of an Indian camp. They had nothing to eat or drink, and the sun beat upon them tiercely all day long. On the morn- ing of the fourth day they found them selves on the open plain with no cover in sight.
 Suddenly they came upon the skele- ton of buffalo surrounded by rank growth of green grass. Into this scanty refuge Trudeau and Stillwell hastily crept. They were not a min ate too soon. A large party of h. lians appeared and halted within a. hundred yards of their hiding place. The scouts were hugging the ground when Trudeau heard hiss in the grass in front of him, and second !ater big rattlesnake crawled slug yishly out and coiled within foot ,f the scouts head
 Stillwell was chewing tobacco, and just before the snake sounded hls deadly rattle, the young scout leaned forward and shot the spray of tobacco juice squarely into the open jaws and eyes of the reptile. The rattler could not stand such lose. He crawled hastily away. The Indians soon passed on without dis covering the scouts. Stillwells lucky shot had saved their lives.
 Forty-eight hours later the two men reached Fort Wallace. Trudeau was completely broken by his terrible ex- oerience and he died few days later, but when the relief expedition left Fort Wallace the undaunted Stillweli rode at its head. He lived to become I judge In Texas and leading figure In that state until his death few tears ago.A

PET. WHICH KILLED MAN
 PROTECTED
Monkey Causing Death of King Alexander of Greece Alive and Tempered by Royalty.
Limited Press Associations,

Washington, Aug 10.-The mon- key which bit King Alexander of Greece, causing the monarch's death, is alive and the pampered pet Of royalty instead of picking in a sur geons vat, as claimed, according to John Poulos, American Greek, just returned from Athens.
 My father is a palace official, and from him l learned the true story of the simian regicide," said Poulos.
 Poulos said that the guilty mon key was a Weeping Capachin. Ar ter it bit the king it was turned over to court physician for obser- vation.
 .''The monkey was little round headed, human-faced fellow, and ex- cept for moody eye did not ap- pear to be vicious" narrated Poulos. "When the doctors called in consul tation decided to kill the monkey to determine if it was suffering from rabies, King Alexander him. self intervened and asked that the life of his pet be spared if possible. As the doctors were confident their diagnosis of the kings illness was correct, without further proof, and that he did not have rabies, Alex ander's request was granted, al- though the world was told that the monkey was killed.
 Alexander died Constantine re- turned. One day the reinthroned king asked of the fate of the mon- key which had killed his son.
 "'He is caged in an unused room in the palace, sire, informed re- tainer.
 CT will see him. said the king. He went and gazed at the monkey. Maybe 1t was flea on the monkeys head that made him raise his hand as though in salute to the king. Constantine thought not.
 The instrument of the gods he muttered He shall live Then turning to servants of the house. hold, Constantine ordered that the monkey be put in more luxurious cage. He detailed a special servant to look after it's wants and ordered that no harm should come to a sin gle hair on it's body"
 At the Creek Legation here 1t was said that the monkey assassin was dead.
