MOUNTAIN LIONS’ SIEGE.
WiOETA OF T3RHCR FOR A FAMILY
IN THE ARIZONA WILDS.
A Man and Two Wcmen Take Turns
Keeping All My at tte Fire on Which
Their Lives Depended Welcome
Scouts.
From Drake's Magazine.
While in command of a small scouting
party in Arizona I went into camp one
bright day on the Rio Pueroo, very near the
New Mexican line. The tents had been
pitched and the animals sent out to graze
under a strong guard, and I was walking
in front of my tent, impatiently waiting a
summons to dinner, which 1 knew by the
strong odor wafted from an adjacent coffee
pot would not be much longer delayed.
We wore about ninety milee from the
nearest fort and hundreds from any settle
ment There were no ranches w hatsoever
in this part, only some cattle and sheep tie
longing to Mexicans, which w. re herded
through the territory. These were in charge
of the Mexicans, who lived much the same
kind of life as did their stock. Their blanket
was their only house, and when night came
on they would He down wherever it might
overtake them. For miles around the land
was as level ns the bed of a billiard table.
Mountains were seen in the distance, which
were inhabited by Indians. Rut my little
command and a few rattlesnakes and
tarantulas were the only living things near.
‘•Dinner is ready, lieutenant," was tho
welcome summons with which my cook
greeted me, and I woe soon doing justice to
a held dinner of beau soup ana “slap
jacks. ”
I was In the midst of this savory repast
when I noticed a stranger approaching me.
He was a well-built, powerful looking man,
about 40 years of age; hie face was intel
lectual and extreme!}- handsome; he wore a
full beard and moustache, both of which
were iron gray. Ha was ooarsely clad, and
carried no weapon. The latter clrcum
etauoe was the most remarkable thing of
all, for in those days in Arizona one
scarcely moved without his arms.
Nearing me, he asked, in a pleasant, quiet
manner, If I were the commanding officer.
I replied that I was.
“I came to see If you could lend me a
pistol or a carbine for a few days," he said.
“You don’t mean to tell me that you are
entirely without arms!" 1 said, not un
reasonably astonished.
“Yes; I have nothing of the kind," he
answered. “I have been annoyed for the
past three months by those Infernal Cali
fornia lions and if I had a shooting iron I
might kill some of them."
“Are you camping near here?" I asked.
“I live just around tho bend of the river;
will you walk down with me?"
Greatly astonished, I asked if ho lived
there quite ah lie.
“0. no,” he replied, "my wife and mother
live with me."
Little dreaming I was so near a residence,
I eagerly accepted his invitation, and tilling
my pipe and leaving the sergeant in charge
of camp, I started forth with my new ac
quaintance. As we made the turn in the
river I saw a large shelving rock rising
from the level prairie. It was not more
than 100 yards from the river’s bank, and
was really quite imposing in its dimensions.
It struck me as so peculiar—so entirely out
of place, that 1 expressed my surprise to my
companion,
“Yes,” he answered, “I fancy it is a me
teorite. lam under great obligations to It,
whatever it is, and however it came here,
for It has promoted me for months. That
rock is my house.”
By this time we had reached the natural
dwelling. At what might be termed its
opening the rock was ten feet or'more from
the ground, and it sheltered a space about
twenty feet in breath, gradually sloping
backward and downward. As I stepped
under the protecting roof I saw two women
sitting at work.
My host presented me to his mother and
wife respectively, and I saw at a glance that
they were Mexicans; not of tho class, how
ever, known as greasers, but representatives
of a much higher grade. Like most Mexi
cans, they were disinclined to converse in
any language but their own, but when they
learned that my knowledge of their tongue
was too slight to enable me to understand
them they overcame their reluctanoe, and
we chatted quite pleasantly.
I learned that they had been living there
for three months. They catue with the in
tention of farming, and later proposed
erecting n suitable dwelling.
The Indians had not molested them, but
they were worried by the lyons, which
came by twos and threes nightly to the
opening of their habitation, and there
howled till daylight w hen they returned to
the mountain.
They told me it was necessary for one of
them to be up all night to keep the fire burn
ing, which was their only protection from
these monsters.
Consequently they had taken turns sitting
up nights for the last three months.
Having listened to a graphic description
of their far from pleasaut neighbors, I told
them frankly that If I had a pistol or car
bine of my own I would willingly lend or
give them one, but all the weapons in the
command, even those on my person, be
longed to the government, and that the
orders respecting them were so stringent
that I was unabie to accommodate them.
“I had a pistol when I came,” said my
host, "but I lost it crossing tho river. Since
thon you are the first parson that has been
this way.”
I felt real sorry for him an I also felt that
they might think I had given a very flimsy
reason for refusing the loan they asked.
That three human beings should be an
noyed night after night by wild bsasts, and
a company of cavalry unablo to give them
protection, seemed inoredibie, yet such was
the case.
At length a happy thought struck me.
"I tell you wiiat I will do,” I said. “I
will send the company In charge of the
sergeant about five miles further down the
river to encamp; then I will bring Curley
with me, and we w.U stay here to-night
with you. Curley is an old frontiersman
arid is acting guide for me. He is a good
shot, and will enjoy the sport.”
My proposal was joyfully accepted, and 1
returned to camp to give the necessary
directions. About an hour later the com
pany moved out aud Curley and I were
alone.
“What sort of an outfit is that down
there?” said mv companion pointing to the
stone mansion 1 had recontly left.
"I cannot tell you,” I answered. “The
People say they are worried by the lions,
and I have told them you and I will stay
with them to-night and sample a few.”
“Some escaped jailbird, I suppose,” said
Curley. ‘ ‘The country's full of them.”
Yes,” I answered, "the couutry is full of
them, but lam sure this man is no crimi
nal. His muuner and his appearauce, bar
ring his clothes, are those of a gentleman,
and his wife seems more than ordinarily re
fined.”
"Well,” said Curley, “if they will trot
out the lions we don’t care what they are.”
With that we started toward the rook.
The California lion may have a legitimate
name, but this is the only one I have ever
beard applied to him. He belongs to the
panther and wildcat fainilee, being, I be
lieve, a cross between the two.
They gave us coffee, bread, and fried
bacon for supper, and our host surprised
and delighted us by producing from hi*
trunk some cigars. Not a lamp nor a
candle of any description did they have.
Wheu darkness came on they went to bed
or on watch, as the case might be.
Wc told them all to retire whenever they
felt disposed, and they wanted not a eaound
bidding. We eaw that our rlflae ware In
good order and that our ammunition wee
bandy, and then we permitted the fire to
die out.
Not long did we wait; we bad not been on
guard more than half au hour when Curley
wlepered to me, “Did you see that thing
et eaking up here!”
I bad already aean ft, but It was only a
$o l said. “It u nothing but a j
' coyote. We must not shoot; it will frighten
; the liona”
“I believe you are right," said Curley.
I “ But how about this senator that is ap
j preaching?”
Sure enough, here came a large Hon,
i walking proudly along, scarcely thirty
i yards from us.
“Do not fire,” said Curley. "Wait until
. we get mi re of them.”
A few minutes later four large lions were
in our immediate front. The man had cer
tainly told the truth thus far, whatever hi*
intention as to faruiiug might be.
“You take the one on the rignt and I'll
take the one on the left,” said Curiev. "Are
you ready i”
"Ready,” I replied.
"Fire!”
The report of our riflee and the screams
of the startled sleepers wers almost simul
taneous; the three were sleeping soundly
and the shots naturally startled them. I
threw another cartridge into my rifle and
fired at an escaping lion, hut I doubt if I
injured him. We rebuilt the fire and
dragged two fine specimens of the brutes
where its light would allow ua to inspect
them. I had shot one through the heart and
Curley had sent a bullet through the brain
of the other.
I ‘l think we hod better leave them out
side,” said Curley; "the others will scent
the blood and come back.”
W bother they scented the blood or not, 1
am not prepared to aay, but back they cer
tainly came. We waited until a good op
portunity offered, and then, at a given sig
nal, fired again; two more large lions fell,
and Curley succeeded in loading aud shoot
ing one that was endeavoring to escape.
This made five that we had killed. After
watching another hour without any result,
we made up the fire and slept until sunrise.
The little family were overjoyed at behold
ing our night’s work, and succeeded in cou
viucing us of their sincere gratitude.
After breakrast Curley skinned the five
animals and gallantly presented the pelts to
to the y ung wife As we bade good bv to
the family he said, "If yon rub a little
strychnine over ttiese carcasses, and stake
them at some little distance from your
ranch you will not be troubled much longer
by the lions.”
Then, with a cordial farewsll, we pro
ceeded down the river to overtake the com
mand.
RAIL AND CROS3TIE.
It Is reported that an eastern syndicate
has a forty-five day option on the Tennsi
■?a Midland road.
The Nashville and Chattanooga railway
ha* notified the treasury department that it
will, on June 1, pay $&ti0,000 of it* bonds
Issued at the close of the war to compensate
the government for imDrovements put on
the road,
W. J. Davis, assistant train dispatcher at
the Central railroad, returned yesterday
with his wife from a month’s stay at their
old home in Galveston, in Central Indiana.
Mr. Davis says that Indiana has the largest
and finest wheat crop that was ever raised
In the state. The crop is already nearly
matured.
The Order of Railway Conductors is at
work arranging a grand excursion from
along the Central railroad and the Savan
nah, Amertcusand Montgomery railroad to
Tybee on June 10. They are also working
up au excursion from Hatatinah to Tybee
on the day following. The Order of Hall
way Conductors expect to carry down
several thousand people on each of then
excursions.
The Central railroad has made arrange
ments to carry between 5,000 and 6,000 col
ored people to Andersonville to-day from
Macon and along the Southwestern division.
A special train will also be run from Maoon
for the accommodation of the white people
going down. The colored people of south
west Georgia always celebrate Decoration
day by a grand excursion to Anderson.
Maj. J. F. Hanson of Macon will deliver
the address at Andersonville.
The Macon Telegraph save: The clerks
in the Central railroad olflee are notable
for the nioe discrimination wbloh they
show in what they drink. The abundant
supply from Tuft’s springs is not quite good
enough for them at present, and so they
have a barrel of artesian water brought
from Wadley every (lay, to replenish their
coolers. They say they object to “mixed
drinks,” and want their drinking water
brought from a place where no river water
cau get into it.
President VanPraag of the Mexican Gulf,
Pacific and Puget Bound railroad, is in
Memphis, and in an interview about the
new road says that grading will be begun
at Pensacola within thirty days and proceed
northwesterly as rapidly as present arrange
ments will permit. Tho road is destined
for Memphis. The distance from Memphis
to Pensacola is something over 500 miles.
The route has been surveyed from Eutaw,
Ala., to Pensacola, and the engineering
corps will soon begin work from there on to
Memphis. Tbs prospeotue of tho Mexican
Gulf, Facifio and Puget Bound Railroad
Company has just been Issued by Mr. Van-
Praag, setting forth the commercial advan
tages to be derived from a direct rail route
between Pensacola and Memphis.
BALZAC’S MANUSCRIPT.
How His Famous Boole “Cesar Blrot
teau” Was Written.
From the Paris Figaro.
Balzac’s method of working was eccen
tric. When be bad well considered the subs
jeot upon which he proposed to write, be
would cover some thirty or forty pages with
ideas and phrases. These he would send to
the printer, who returned proofsbeets pasted
upon large sheets of paper. The work was
then oorrected. On a second road
ing the forty pages grew to one
hundred and so on, while on the
proofsheets new lines would start from
the beginning, middle or end of a
phrase: and if the margins werejinsuffleient
other sheets were added, until at last the
work was satisfactorily completed. A speci
men of Balzac’s "oroot” has the appearance
of a geographical map with its rivers, estua
ries and lakes, or perhaps it even more
closely resembles a complicated railway
system, in which the lines cross and re-oross
each other in a manner that would almost
bewilder Bradshaw.
The most graphic description of this real
ist at work is to be found in an article in
the Paris Figaro of Dec. 15, 1837, called
"The Misfortune! and Adventures of Cesar
Blrotteau Before His Birth." It appears
that Figaro promised the book for Dec. 15,
and Balzac only begau it on Nov. 17. The
printing press was prepared. Balzac imme
diately sent In 200 sheets, scribbled in five
nights of fever. “Every one knows
how he writes. It was an out
line, a chaos, an apocalypse, a Hindu
poem. The time was short; no one
could make head or tail of tho writing, but
it was transposed as nearly as possible into
familiar signs. The author sent back the
first two proofs pasted on to enormous pla
cards. It was frightful. From eaoh sign,
from each printed word, shot a penstroke,
gliding like a sky-rocket and bursting at
the extremity of a luminous fire of phrases,
epithets, substantives, underlined, crossed,
intermingled, erased aud superposed. Its
appearauce was simply dazzling. The office
was far from gay. The typesetters beat
their breasts,the presses groaned, the proof
readers tore their hair.”
The proofs were sent back seven oon
secutive times, and then a few symptoms
of excellent French appeared, aud there
was observed a oertain connection lietween
the phrases: but the day—Deo. if -was
fast approaching, and it was felt that the
book would never appear. But iialr.ee aud
Figaro sept their word with tbs public, and
"Caesar Blrotteau” saw the fight on the
date agreed agreed upon, it was composed,
written end corrected fifteen timet by the
author m twenty days. In a letter in which
be speaks of an attack of neuralgia, he
says; “I wrote ‘Laser Blrotteau’ with my
fa*tia mustard.”

CARTER’S TAI.E OF LOVE.
EXTRACTS FROM ADVANCE S v EiTS
OF UR. HISB.SO.N and NOVEL.
Outline of the Story of "Tne Street of
the B g RocSc"—Unfortunate Marri
age of Mr. Felden and His Long
Chase After “Fate.”
From the Chicago Tribune.
Carter H. Harrison’s love etory, “The
Secret of the Big Rockwill be out in a
few days. It will be published in connec
tion with a series of letters written last
snmmer, entitled “A Summer’s Outing,”
and is a sequel to an incident referred to in
one of them.
There is not much plot to the story. Mr.
Feldeu, a rich southerner, marries bis niece
to fulfill the dying wish of his father. Her
beauty is wonderful, but her heart is cold,
and soon after their marriage he says: “A
marble statue would as quickly have aroused
a feeliDg of passion in my heart.”
The following summer they visited Lon
don, and while at the flower show Felden
meets a young woman who Is his "fate.”
In describing the incident years afterward
to hi* frioud Jamison, the hero gives a
glimpse of his moral and in: effectual views
of life and marriage.
“Mr. Jamison. 1 have a very decided theory of
true marriage I reverence me Bible, but not
every word of it. • * * Nothing to me in the
book o£ Genesis reveals deeper knowledge of
human nature than the account of the creation
of Adam. God created man; male and female
created he them! They were then good. He
afterward separated the female frurn the male.
Kach thus became imported-each Itevaine a
part and uot a whole. There is constant yearn
lng in them for reunion. When the true Kve
unites with her Adam they tieooine one, and
their union is bliss. When so united no man
shall put them asunder. The union is founded
on natural, not moral or religious laws. Men.
and women are for each other: not one man for
one certain woman, but in classes. A man finds
his physical mate in one of a certain class."
SH'ARCHIRO FOR HIR "FATE,"
That young woman at the flower show is
Felden’s mate-that is, "one of the proper
clas*.’’ He returns with his wife to their
{ilantatiun in tho south, but as nslther
oved the other, aud as be cannot get his
“fate” out of his mind, he takes what hit
father had left him in money and converti
ble bonds, deeds everything else to his wife,
and starts through the world hoping once
again to meet the young woman he loved.
In India be meots a cunniug native who
so totally changes his appearance that even
his own servant dona not recognize him. In
this disguue he af>erward meets his wife
at a ball in New Orleans and is a stranger
to her. He can, however, after a certain
time if desired come back to his original
self.
From New Orleans he goes to his old
home, and Dinah, his faster-mother, and
her husband Jim reooguize him by bis
voice. He buys them and over afterward
lives with them. They go to Cincinnati to
live, where he nurses old Diuah back to life.
At a hotel in Cincinnati be again sees the
young woman whom he believed to be his
"fate,” and follows her to Boston, but there
finds out she is a younger sister aud au t-x
aot counterpart.
Here is a racy bit of dialogue during his
first meal at the house of Rita, bis "fate”:
Mrs. Allen, the aunt, was a screw, but an epi
cure. Like all genuine gourmets the old lady
was a table-talker, and a good one I resolved
to return Miss Rita's disdain by ignoring her
presence, and if possible arouse her interest in
me against her will. When the aunt served ms
with tea she said:
"Mr. Felden, there is a cup which I am sure
you cannot c* quat in Chicago. New-made people
oau soon become good judges of coffee, but a
connoisseur iu tea must have blue blood m bts
veins.”
DISCI’SSION ovxa TSA.
“I do not bostaf, a long line of ancestry," I re
joioed, "but my palate must be the heritage of
good blood for 1 enjoy the Chinese drink
greatly, aud ain very particulsras to the brand.
There is onlv one oountry in the world where
good tea Is almost universal. A bad cup of tea
in Russia I found the exception. ’’
“Ah,” she Bald, “but it is in England that it is
always the beverage?”
"Yes,” I acknowledged, “as a food, not as a
beverage. English tea is good to eat—that la to
mix witli and wash clown your muffins. Russia
teaia a drink, and is even jealous of a thing so
coarse as sugar."
"You have been a traveler, then, I suppose.
What other countries have you visited? I have
myself wandered considerably, but only in Eu
rope.”
"I have visited nearly every Europeon land,”
I said, for I was determined to please her anil
at the same time to win the attention of the
niece; "have hunted the tiger in Indian jungle*
and laved my limbs in Holy Ganges among its
devotees."
“O how charming!” the good lady exclaimed.
"To get myself on tho best footing, dear
madam," I rejoined, "I will say I have strad
dled the equator and have used tbe arctic circle
for a trapeze."
She clapped her hands, saying: "That's capi
tal, is it not, Rita? What else and where else,
Mr. Traveler?"
"in Burmah 1 have ogled beauties with huge
oigar3 piercing the lobes ot their ears, and have
worshiped Soudanese ladles closely veiled on
the Upper Nile, awakening from my dream of
adoration to find the Yashmac of my divinities
covering ebony-colored leat,ires."
"Go on, dear sir, go on, ’ and the old, wizened
eyes sparkled with pleasure.
“1 have been in —■” I glanced at Rita. She
wa* listening with intense interest; I grew
ashamed of the game and paused. But knowing
how a woman's nature clothes the mysterious
man in brightest raiment, and is ready to find
the prince in beggar's raiment, I resolved to
show her a despised drummer who hail been in
all lands, and even an actor in wild and danger
ous adventures.
BOMK OF HIS ADVENTURES.
He then tells, to summarize the remainder
of the dialogue, hotv he had mwd tbe
dark teak forests of Siam, where jungle
fever kills; had lived In a grand palace in
Cambodia, the only tenant of a magnificent
lost city, where "ireee were rooting on the
frieze* of marble porticoes”; bad once been
caged in a cave near old Goloonda with a
huge tiger striving to tear down the barri
cade erected to keep him out.
Finally tbe wall toppled; he crouched for the
fatal spring, when a shell from my faithful gun
f ilerce-1 his heart, and I sank in a swoon from
ong excitement and physical exhaustion.
These stories, like Othello’s, captivate
Rita, and in due time she and Felden aro
married. Afterward they come to Chicago,
and then, about 1870, spend a summer in a
camp near tbe straits of Mackinaw.
One morning after a fearful storm he
goes out to catch some fish aud is drowned,
a hugs pieoe of rock pinning him to the
bottom of the lake, Rita become* heart
broken and in tbe end prevail* upon Jim,
the negro servant, to assist her In commit
ing suicide and laying her by the side of
her husband. Ho doe* *O, and then, with
tbe aid of Jamison, he covers the bodies
witii strong canvas, pinning it down with
boulders.
When last visited bjr Jamison, who tell*
the story to Mr. Harrison, the fated couple
bad a monmnent of sand piled up again>t
tbe Big Rock. Some time afterward the
faithful Jim had died, and be waa also buried
at tbe rock.
Tbe Big Rock, with its double tragedy, is
situated near tbe route of steamers on their
way from tbe "Soo” to Maokinaw.

C F COURSE IT CAN’T.
It Has Got to Meet tho Issue Fairly
and Squarely.
Editor Morning A'etoe: Council can’t
afford to make light of the goat question.
Wo are not living in a country village
where stock is allowed to roam at large.
Neither arc we inclined to go back to the
old time high brick walla We must en
oourage our citizens to build fine housoeaml
to beautify their grounds, and council mint
see that we have laws to protect them, and
have said laws properly enforced. Aider
man Harmon has inode a noble effort to
give us pretty streets and squares, but ho
has accomplished very little, because people
are permitted to trample down tho gross
and to cross our squares from any point.
We are not disposed to grumble, lint w hen
we visit other cl tine and see their beautiful
parks and reservations, all covered with
beautiful green grass, and signs stuck up—
" Keep , off the Grass”—we naturally feel
as if we were not keeping up with the out
side world. Couucil will soon have the
Sunday liquor traffic settled, and then we
hope to see the "Billy Goat” question settled
forever. Progress.
