ing and turned over to Mr. Ben Harp
er, who placed him under charge of
Constable Frank Watson, who at once
brought him to the city, and sheriff
Terry took him in charge and placed
him in jail. He will be tried on the
charge of murder at the July term

Veteran Soldier Tells How Wound Af
fects Fighter on the Field
of Battle.
General Miles In his book, “Serving
the Republic,” says that, like every
other soldier who has seen much ac
tive service, ho is often asked how it
feels to be wounded. He himself was
wounded four times, and twice almost
fatally, so he is able to speak from
experience. lie says: “One is often
asked how it seems to be wounded in
battle. The flight of a bullet Is quick
er than thought, and has passed
through a flesh wound before one real
izes that he has been struck. I have
seen bodies of men dead on the field
of battle where the brain had been
pierced and death had been instanta
neous. They would remain in every
position of the manual of arms, with
*n anxious look, a frown or a Gmile
on their cold and rigid faces. My
wounds received at Fair Oaks, Fred-
\ ericksburg and Petersburg were flesh
wounds, and disabled me but a short
lime. While riding down the line at
Chancellorsville one of the enemy’s
bullets struck my metallic belt plate
with great force. This caused a’ slight
deviation as it entered the body. The
result was an instant deathly sick
ening sensation; my sword dropped
from my right hand, my scabbard and
belt dropped to the left; I was com
pletely paralyzed below the waist. My
horse seemed to realize what had oc
curred; he stopped, turned and walk
ed slowly back—I holding to the pom
mel of the saddle ’with my hands. We
soon reached a group of soldiers, who
’ook mo off and, placing me in a blan
ket, carried me to the Chancellors-
vtlle House, and pulled a dead man
off a couch to make room for me.”
A Negro Arrested.
Hunter Lee Jenkins, a negro, was
arrested Monday night and tried by
Judge Whilden this morning.
Jenkins had a row in front of Gib
son's barber shop with Oscar Wright,
another negro. Jenkins was badly
cut with a bottle in the hands of
Wright Jenkins being the aggresor.
Policeman Seals undertook to arrest
him. ite resisted and was neces
sary for the officer to have assistance
to carry him to the city barracks. He
cursed and threatened the officers
Recorder Whilden this morning found
him guilty under two charges—resist
ing the officers and disorderly con
duct. He was sentenced to the city
chaingang for 60 days without a fine.
He was ordered to be put in convict
garb and doubled shackles.
He has been turned over to Street
Overseer Thomas and commenced his
sentence.
QUEEREST PRISON IN WORLD
Arizona County Jail la Blasted Out of
a Mountain of Solid Quartz
Rook.
When the authorities of Graham
county, Arizona, decided to look about
for a place In which to confine crimi
nals, they found a natural depresalon
In the side of a hllL This was enlarged
into what might be called an artificial
cave, divided into lour compartments.
The cave was excavated parallel to the
aide of the mountain In which It was
made, and daylight admitted by boles
blown out of the wall with explosives,
the windows being guarded by a net
work of heavy steel bars. The en
trance to the depression was also
closed In the same manner, and a
vestibule or porch of masonry built
out from It to provide quarters for the
sheriff and his assistants. This vesti
bule Is also divided into compart
ments, which are connected by gates
of steel bars. The only way of enter
ing the prison is through the vestibule
of masonry, and in order to escape
the inmates would have to cut their
way through three sets of bars which
are an inch In thickness, as the win
dows are so high up above the rock
forming the floor of the cells that they
cQuld not reach them. It is necessary,
however, to have a very secure place,
as the criminals In this part of the
country are of a most desperate class,
and the inmates frequently include
murderers and highwaymen. The
mountain which has thus been turned
into a prison is composed of solid
quartz rock, and the excavation was
made principally by the use of explo
sives. The jail Is located In the town
of Clifton, the county seat.—Wide
World Magazine.
The Rural View.
Farmer Soboss—Well, there’s an
other lite’ry guy bought a farm back
here and gone to raising chickens.
He’s got over a thousand of ’em!
Farmer Hardscrabble—Gosh! He
must be a good writer to support so
many hens as that!—Puck.
REAL NAME UNKNOWN
Miss “Anna Wilson,” Who Came as
Stage Girl to Nebraska Metropolis,
Repentant, Gave Her Resort and
Wealth to City.
Omaha, Neb.—Miss Anna Wilson’s
gift of practically $600,000 to charity,
the accumulation of 40 years' profits
from the most notorious dive Omaha
has ever known, has brought out more
remlnlscenses and caused more talk
than any single event In the middle
west In years. Miss Wilson was sixty
years of age when she died a few
days ago, and In her will she makes
no Individual gifts, except of a trust
fund, but leaves all that she had
saved to the city as her greatest pos
sible restitution. It Is the second
largest gift to charity ever made by
an Omaha resident. Six months ago
Miss Wilson closed out her dive and
presented the building, with $75,000,
to the city as an emergency hospital.
Anna Wilson went to Omaha when
It was a frontier town several years
before the Union Pacific railroad was
completed In 1867. Her first appear
ance was on a music hall stage. She
was bright and pretty. Also she was
well educated. Just who she really
was has always been a mystery. She
freely acknowledged that “Anna Wil
son” was not her true name, but her
real Identity has never been revealed.
The young girl remained on the
stage only a short time. When the
music hall went to the wall she was
without an engagement. In the emerg
ency she took up with a noted
“square” gambler, Dan Allen, and bo-
came his common law wife. This re-

ever to tnem. Some years ago one of
the brothers asked Miss Wilson tor a
portion of this money and was given
$1,000. In her will $9,000 is left to
Dan Allen’s brothers.
Six years ago Miss Wilson leased
her house, purchased a $15,000 resi
dence In Kountze place, an exclusive
residential district, and went to live
in her new home. With her, she
brought one of the best Shakesperean
libraries in the west Among her
books is an Illustrated Bible, which
cost many thousands of dollars and
which Miss Wilson Is said to have
been fond of reading and studying.
Her library ran Into thousands of
volumes, and pictures and works ot
art fairly filled her home. Her flower
garden and home were the wonder of
the town.
Beware or Couelnsf
Cousins are not as simple as they
leem. The very fact of being a oousiu,
)T having a cousin, is complicated.
The laissez-faire of cousinshlp la both
sludlng and deluding—cousins will be
;ousln8, even if you did not choose
them. They can borrow money from
mu, visit you without being asked, tell
people they belong to your family,
jontest your will, even fall in love
with you—and a cousin once removed
s twice as apt to. Never completely
trust a cousin—never depend on his
not doing any of these things. Never
take him for granted. The “cousinly
kiss’’ may or may not mean what it
means. And cousins always do kiss—
it’s part of being cousins.
(Not that cousins need necessarily
prove perilous. Once in a blue moon
they invite you io Europe, or leave
you money, but that almost always
takes an aunt or an uncle.)—Atlantic.
KNEW HIM AND LOVED HIM
Dr. Courtenay, Mutilated Veteran of
the Confederate Army, as He Wai
In Tippah.
Dr. Courtenay entered the Confeder
ate army as a surgeon, and after the
surrender found himself without home,
family, or fortune. His right coat-
sleeve dangled empty; the hand that
had saved so many lives could not
save Itself. It had been amputated
after Gettysburg, and the story goes
that Lee himself—the name is always
pronounced slowly and reverently In
Tippah—had said, “I wish I could give
my hand to save yours, doctor.” An
other loss, equally grave, but less
conspicuous, was that of bis left lung.
It was this trouble that had brought
him to Tippah’s mild climate, for near
ly 20 years he had lived there alone In
his three-room cottage, riding out ev
ery day to his little farm, five miles
from town, and reading and smoking
far into the night His library was
tl e wonder of Tippah. Books in five
languages lined the walls of his house
—all In the cheapest bindings, for the
doctor was poor; but, as he used to
say. It was the meat in the nut he
cared for, not the shell outside. He
never practiced medicine, except oc
casionally among persons too poor to
pay for medical advice, or, more fre
quently, In serious cases when called
In consultation. It was known that
he had never taken a fee in Tippah.
Every one believed implicitly In his
skill. It was a common thing to hear
it said, after a death, “Nothing could
have saved him; Dr. Courtenay said
so.”—Lilian Kirk Hammond in the
Atlantic.

furnished the money with which Miss
Wilson opened the most notorious
dive In the city. In the 40 years of
Its existence, however, there were few

When Allen died he left a $10,000
policy, made in favor of Miss Wilson.
She notified his brothers that at her

Decline of Repentance.
Repentance—once so universally
practiced at this season of the year,
aa well as on birthdays, and some
times on Sundays—is rapidly becom
ing one of the obsolete virtues. Even
novelists seem to have grown tired of
the “wabbling” heroine, the lady who
plunged into exotic sins one day and
betook herself (metaphorically) to a
nunnery the next, only to join the
army of backsliders with greater zest
than ever as soon as her fit of peni
tence was over. Despite copybook
maxims warning the unwary of the
futility of indulging in lamentation
over spilt milk, repentance has flour
ished exceedingly, and women espe
cially have hitherto always manifest
ed a strong bias in that direction.
Repentance needs leisure, and that
may be why it is gradually going out
o| fashion. People have no time to
look backwards, and, moreover, they
are now realizing the futility of doing
so. Like Omar Khayyam, they under
stand that no one can rub out what
the moving Finger has written, and
that tears are powerless to undo what
has once been done.—Exchange.
