For several months the people bo
tween Asplnwoll and St. Deroin have
heard the screams of some animal,
and at least twice it bas been seen by
children. One day last week one of
Levi Clifton's little girls, ten or eleven
years old, was going to school, and as
she was passing along the ''nar-
rows" this side of Hilldale the animal
sprang from the cliff in the road behind
her. She says it was about two feet
high, with a short tail. A dog that
was with her barked at the animal and
it ran away. John R. Johnson's little
girl saw the animal another time and
decribed it about the same, but both
children were too badly frightened to
give a good description of it. Mr.
Monroe and Mr. Clifton have seen
trackB of tho animal, and say the tracks
are larger than than those of common
dog and near together, showing the
animal is short legged. It is thought
by many to ba a leopard, though the
leopard does not have tbo short tail as
described by the Clifton girl. The an
imal was flrist heard last spring. Its
scream can be heard a long distance.
The peoplo are somewhat alarmed for
fear it will attack their children, and
propose to have a bunt Saturdry of
next week to try and kill it.

LaBt Sunday Mrs. James A, Stephen
son was given a pleasant uurnrlso by
hor friends and neighbors. Several
days ago it was decided by a few of
hor frionds to colobrato her birthday in
an appropriate manner.and accordingly
invitations were extended and genoraN
ly accepted. Tho editor was one of
the fortunate ones to bo included in
tbo list of thoso invited, aud when wo
arrived nt tho comfortablo homo of Mr.
and Mrs, Stephenson it looked as if the
entire neighborhood and many from
Nemnhn and Auburn woro present.
After visiting nwbilo dinnor was
served, and no one was hoard to com
plain of this part of tho gathering.
The Champion people are noted for
their good cooking, and every timo wo
go to one of their dinners or suppers
wo think it is a little better than bo-
fore. The afternoon was spent very
pleasanty bly oil. Thero woro sixty-
five present, besides the babies.
The fusionists had a bard lime of it
at their convention last Saturday.
The conference committeo decided that
the populists could havo senator, coun
ty attornoy and county commissioner
and the democrats tho two representat
ives. Then came the hardest task, as
no one wanted n nomination that tbey
felt would lead only to defeat. One
man after another was namod for reps
resentativo only to decline. Ves Reed,
Wm. Kauffman, J. H. Cverturf and
otbors positively declined to be offered
as a sacrifice. Finally G. W. Hopkins
was named. He got. up to decline but
was pulled back to bis seat and pern
suaded to let it gov John Casper was
nominated, but Johp was not preseut
and therefore could not decline.
Quackenbusb and Hawxby were aaked
to accept the nomination for county at
torney but neither would have it.
Finally Judge Lambert was nominated
Lucien Couer of Howe was nominated
for county commissioner.
When It came to selecting delegates
to the float convention some of the pop
ulistB wanted to instruct, but after Ed.
Ferneau and others bad positively dos
clined to accept if nominated tbey den
cidod not to Instruct for any one,
though a few wanted to instruct for
J. H. Dundas, who was an announced
candidate, but this move was beaded
off.
The fusionists adjourned, feeling
that tbey had spoiled what little show
tney bad of electing any of their cans
dldatea this fall.
