A "Surprise A ivnitcd tljo Ilutifci TV.;f
Started III to Skin the JSrast.
"Am elk beats tno dickens for mis-
chief," said an old hunter to a writer
for the New York Sun. "One time I
was hunting' on the Yellowstone river
with Uncle IVto McDougull and a
squaw man named Jackso^ and every
kind of pa rae that you ever saw was
found there. We shot no end of buf -
falo, deer and antelope, and thought
the list complete when we struck a
band of elk in the open valley. The
squaw man said «.hat the only way to
Kill an elk' was to" bury yourself in a
clump of bushes and wait for him to
eome to you. I knew better, and so
're herded up the group and tried to
close in on them in a circle. Well,
they all got away except one bull, who
was cornered until 1 could get a shot
at him. I was flattering myself that it
was a great shot when I saw him fall
fiat on his side and never move a hair.
" 'You know all about killing elk.' I
said, sarcastic like, to the squaw man.
" 'You killed him, you skin him,' he
said.
" 'All right,' said I, 'but you don't
pet any of the meat.' And with that I
out with my knife and walked quickly
over to the dead elk, never noticing
where he was hit. I got square over
on hisneck, and was just reaching with
my knife to strike the skin from his
head when of all surprises I ever got
that was the worst. That bull elk
just raised up in the air with me on his
neck, and, tossing his head, caught me
squarely on his horns. I came down
like a piece of lead ore in a thousand
foot shaft. I tried to hang on to his
horns but he jerked my grip and threw
me high in tho air and on the ground,
where I lay with the breath knocked
out of me and too scared to move and
thinking he would trample me to
death in the sage brush. Finally my
friends got in their work. The elk
had so much fun that he did not see
them coming, and Uncle Pete put a ball
in his heart just as the beast was
about to jump on me with all four
feet. The elk turn bled over on me, and
under his crushing weight I fainted.
The next I remembered was the smell
of smuggled Canadian whisky and the
squaw man saying with a laugh:
" 'It takes a long time to learn an
elk's ways.'
"L-ike Gen. Grant in the interview,
'I had nothing to say on the subject.'"

who knows the president's views
on the subjéct, that the president
will initiate no action whatever
in regard to the Coxey movement

trict commissioners notify him of
their inability to preserve the
peace and protect property. He
expects the local authorities to
handle the question in the first in-

only in the event they confess
their inability to cope with the
situation and appeal to him for the

THE PEOPLE INDIGNANT.
Representative Johnson Says
the Great Northern Has
Long Defied the Laws.
Washington, April 19.—Rep-
resentative Johnson of North
Dakota, whose state is so greatly
affected by the strike on the Great
Northern, was at the pastoffice
department and department of
justice today in the interest of his
constituents. He says the post-
master general will not acceed to
the request of the railroad com-
pany, but will insist that mail
cars nAist be run whether -passen-
ger and other cars are run or not.
Mr. Johnson says the railroad
company insists that it cannot be
compelled to run its trains for
mail unless i* takes passengers
and express also. Sir. johnson
was at the department ofjustice to
see if the inconvenience that
would be caused the people by
Judge Sanborn's order could not
be avoided.
"I have thrown myself wholly
on the side of the strikers," said
Mr. Johnson. "I am against the
railroad and believe the strikers
are right. I have prepared a
resolution of impeachment against
Judge Sanborn and will introduce
it as soon as I can obtain a copy
of his orders so that I will know
officially what it was. Further-
more, I do not believe that the
railroad company can hold the
state or municipalities responsible
if the people burn and destroy the
property of the railroad. I know
from my experience as district
attorney that the company has
educated the people for a long
series of years in lawlessness. The
company has failed to obey the
laws and has defied them. I am
sure the same rules that obtained
in Penr.splvania a few years ago
would not follow in my State,
rather the municipalities could
hold the company responsible if
property is destroyed and also for
the damage done to business for
failure to run the trains."

It Occasionally Strikes, Al-
though it Has no Works.
J. M. Martin gave us last week
an account of the most wonderful
dock of which we ever heard. In
fact, it sounds like p. fable, but he
establishes the truth of the story
by a dozen witnesses, and those
who know him jo not doubt his
veracity. But «o the clock. He
has an old clock at his house that
has been handed down from his
ancestors, which has been in use
for seventy-five years. It has
held its steadfast pace amid the
frolics of weddings; it has kept
company with the watchers of the
sick-bed, and has ticked the sol-
emn requiem of the dead. But
for the past sixteen years it has
been motionless, standing upon
the mantle; even the striking por-
tion of the clock has been taken
out. Last Friday night before Joe
Givens, who was sick at this
house, died the next day, the old
clock, without ticking a time, be-
gan stricking slowly but distinctly,
and continued until it had tolled
seven times, striking once every
fifty minutes. It began at 12
o'clock that night and continued
until next morning. To add to
the strangeness of the story, and
to show that it is not a production
of superstition, Mr. Martin tells us
that five years ago, the night be-
fore the death of his mother the
same wonderful phenomenon took
place, and three years ago, when
his father died, it did the same
thing. There were present last
Tuesday night, and heard and saw
this, Messrs. Marshall Gower, Gil-
bert Arnold, John Craft, John
Weathers, J. M. Martin and a num-
ber of others.—Lawrenceville (Ga.)

In matter of lynching, under

and Texas are very much alike.

The other night a negro who had
assaulted a lady in Logan Co.,Ohio,

pany was ordered out to protect,
him, but the mob induced the sol-
diers to retire and the.i hung the
prisoner to a convenient tree.
Our southern lynchers are not
so lawless. They have never yet
driven off the malitia, and as a
rule when the authority of the state !
makes itself heard they submit. |
