A HEAR AND A DARREL
Too Much Liquor Got the Best of
Poor Bruin,
’Way back in the "50s I was
temporarily handling the lines of
the Sacramento Overland Stage
company, and it was over lots of
land 1 tell you, for my route ran
through the roughest section of
the Sierra Nevadas. One night
about sunset I was swinging along
the rocky trail at a pretty good
pace, as I wanted to reach Rabbit
creek before dark, where we
changed horses and gel supper.
I had three passengers, all men
and for freight earned a barrel of
gin strapped on behind the stage,
The gin was for-Red Mike, ’ who
ran a free-and-easy att he mm,ng
camp of Rahim creek. Suddenly
W attention was called by one -f
the passengers to a novel race
which was going on down the side
of the mountain between a miner
and a grizzly hear, with the man
about a hundred yards ahead run
ning like a deer. Hut the hear
was gaining rapidly and it seemed
that he had him sure, when sud
denly the miner turned and dart
ed off in another direction. The
grizzly was slow in stopping, hut
when he did get straightened, the
way he annihilated the distance
was a caution to catamounts.
Several times the miner played
this trick and on each occasion he
gained considerable ground in our
direction, hut it could he seen lie
was rapidly tiring, and unless
something happened the bear was
dead sure to get him. We were
wo „derimr what we could do to
he]p the poor fellow, when sud
denly the leaders smelled the
grizzly. They snorted and start
pd off on a dead run. I put on

West Point, Miss., March
On September 15. 1891, there ap
peared in the Globe-Democrat a
special from this city reciting the
f icts of an encounter with a negro
tramp by Miss Earle Wise, of La¬
cross, this county. Miss Wise was
at home alone that day, and on
going to the door in answer to a
knock, found a negro there who
held a kmfe to he throat and e
manded the valua es n e

an offer of marriage, which was

A SAD TRAGEDY.
A l.over Hies in the Arms of His
Would-Be Bride.
New Orleans, March 26.—A
Tiines-Democrat Corpus Christi.
Tex., special says. ‘‘A tragic af¬
fair occured in Ilidalgo county
yesterday, which is touching in
the extreme.
Two state rangers with P. S.
Coy of this county, as guide, were
in the locality mentioned above
on the outlook for horse thieves.
Suddenly they came upon two
Mexicans riding the same horse
and called to them to stop, as they
were officers and wanted informa
tion.
“I'll die before you shall take
me," replied the Mexican, riding
in front, and drawing his six
shooter he fired at the rangers,but
without effect.
Coy immediately returned the
shot and brought his man to the
earth. The ball passed through
bis body, producing almost instant
death.
“The Mexican riding behind
sprang from the horse, and kneel¬
ing beside the prostrate form of
the dying man, raised bis head
and began sobbing and begging
him not to die.
The rangers came up and discov¬
ered that the uninjured Mexican
was a 16-year-old girl dressed in
men’s attire, and that the dying
man was her lover. They had
eloped for the purpose of getting
married.”
Here's a Question.

A Few Hill anil Cleveland Statis¬
tics—Figures That Can’t He
Disputed.
From the Birmingham Age-lleralil.
Our Cleveland friends, and they
are a large and influential element
in this community, having had
their burst of enthusiasm, it is as
well that we take a business view
of the situation that confronts us.
Let us look at the figures that bear
on the nomination of Mr. Cleve-
his first appearance before
the people of New York he re
eeived 535,318 votes, and 193,000
majority. second
In 1884 lie made his ap
pearance and received 563,048
votes, and a majority of 1,100.
In 1888 he made his third ap
pearance and received 635,757
votes, but there was a majority of
13,000 against him.
In other words, while his] total
vote increased each time, the re¬
publicans increased much faster.
That was the first fruit of his
policy- r

Thomasville, Ga., March 27.—
News wns received in the city
yesterday of what may he a fear
lul crime. The scene of the ex¬
citement is on the Troupville road,
about twelve miles from Thomas¬
ville. Reliable farmers from that
section were here yesterday for
the purpose of seeing Coroner
Johnson in regard to the matter.
as near as can be
learned, are as follows:
Last Friday nine members of
Peter Thompson’s family, colored,
were suddenly taken dangerously
ill with every symptom of poison¬
ing. Thompson alone was not af¬
fected. Friday one of the chil¬
dren, a hoy of seven or eight
years of age, died. The child was
buried the same day, something
very unusual tor negroeR. Three
of the parties are still said to be
dangerously ill, and may die at
any time.
Thompson is the same negro
that beat one of his sons to death
a year ago. The coroner's jury
had an inquest, but withheld their
verdict. Coroner Berry Johnson,
however, swore out a warrant
charging Thompson with murder.
The case was in some manner set¬
tled, and (lie hangman was saved
an unpleasant job. It is stale l
tli,at when some one mentioned
the killing to the inhuman father
he remarked that he
•‘would KILL 7IIK WHOLE D—N
CROWD VET,”
and if reports be true, he came
very near succeeding. The mat¬
ter is the talk of the neighbor¬
hood, with both white and colored.
Coroner Johnson has not yet
decided what steps he will take,
but lie is now investigating the
facts, and will very likely go out.
have the bodv exhumed and hold
an inquest. YVhile Thompson may
he innocent of this grave charge,
his past record shows him to be si
had man.
