FOUND HER IDEAL
tries Morrlaon, th Famoue foata
Dakota Cowairl, Oeia Married.
The rwent weeding of Myrtle Morri
son, the famous N'owllu County girl
broncho buster, and Frank Dupree, a
irt-blood Sioux, created quite a eeii
satlou among the arUUH-racy 011 the
Sioux reservation and In adjacent ter
ritory. Mix Morrismi Is a litimlKome
young cowgirl, noted far and near for
her proficiency lu the art of horse train
ing. She has had nmuy admirers among
the frontier beaux, but always declared
that she would never marry any man
who could not rlle, shoot and throw a
luriat bettor than she could, and as
eiK-hmen are extremely scarce It np
jx'ared probable that Misa Myrtle waa
doomed to lead a life of idugle blessed
ness. However, last fall, hay Ix'ing
scarce on the upper Had River range,
her father removed his family and
stock to P.lg I'lum Creek, a tributary of
the Cheyenne River. Here Myrtle first
made rhe acquaintance of the good
looking daring young half-breed who
has since become her husband.
Frank Dupree Is a splendid horse
man, a thorough cowhand, and npuar
ently devoid of fear. The Duprees ore
among the wealthiest stockmen In the
State, counting their cattle by the thou
sand, and Frank, like many other half
blood Jn that section, has received a
very fair education. SU1U Myrtle was
not much attracted toward the swarthy
youth until one day they happened to
bo riding together, and came in sight of
a herd ot sixty or seventy buffalo,
which tile Dupree family .have raised
OU their own ramre from n few enlre
caught years ago, when buffalo meat
was the principal article of diet for the
entire .Sioux nation. Although this herd
Is kept from straying far from the
home ranch by "Old Man" Dupree's
cowlH.ys, they are fully as wild as their
fluiiwora wno once t.JacKenetl the pral-
rle west of Chamberlain with their
shaggy .bodies.
The young couple rode up quite close
to the herd lwfore the animals were
aware of their presence, and Frank, In
a npirlt of bravado, urged his broncho
alongside of a huge bull buffalo and
Hprang from his saddle to the animal's
back. In qn Instant the herd was stam
.peding madly across the prairie, with
the old bull leading the van. Dupree's
foolhnrdiuciM had placed him In an ex
tremely dangerous predicament. If he
Jumped or fell from the buffalo's back
he would certainly be trampled to dea th
by the pursuing herd, and If he retained
his seat until the animal became tired
and sulky, It was equally certain that
the brute would make a furious as
sault upon him the moment he dis
mounted. .So all he could do was to
cling to the animal's back and await an
opportunity to escape. Hut It was not
until the herd had run fully two miles
that he saw tin; least chance of leaving
the back of his novel steed and exenp
Ing alive. Fortune at last favored him,
and the animal ran for some distance
along a deep, mirror washout with ni
miit perpendicular sides reaching to a
height of fully twenty feet. Here Frank
sprang from his seat and slid down the
bank of the depression just In time to
escajte being trampled upon by the
closely following herd.
Meanwhile Myrtle had lassoed her
companion' horse and was hurrying
after the rapidly retreating buffalo. She
reached the spot where Frank had dis- j
mounted just as he was climbing, dirty
and ls-druggh!, to the top of the ra
vine. The cowlMiy did not feel very
proud of his exploit, but, nevertheless, ,
the little episode had touched a tender '
sjsit lu the girl's heart, and a short time
ago the bells of the Cherry Creek Mis
sion Church announced the' wedding of
this typical frontier couple. St. louls

Kult-rof lla f
ttoWa, April 23. At 2 :30 o'clock yes
teriay afternoon, while King ' Humbert
was on bit way to the races, a mac
named Pietro Acciarato, an iron workei
out of employment, attempted to stat
his majesty with a dagger.
The man was seized before, he could
carry out his purpose and the king pro
ceeded to the Campanelle race course,
seemingly unmoved. On arriving at
the race course his majesty was greatly
cheered.
. Accairato appeals to be a political fa
natic. He says he has no accomplil -efl.
King Humbert, accompanied by bis
aide-de-camp, Gen. Pondis Vaglia, was
going to witness the royal derby. Hie
assailant, who was waiting outside St.
Johns gate, rushed up to the carriage
in which his majesty was seated and at
tempted to stab him. The king avoided
the dagger by rising from bis seat.
. Accairato, seeing 1 e had failed in hie
attempt to assassinate the king, threw
away his dagger. He was immediately
arrested by two carabineers, while bit
majesty calmly ordered his coachman
to drive on.
, The news Bpread with great rapidity
and when the king reached the royal
stand at the race course it was soon sur
rounded by a cheering multitude.
King Humbert treated the matter
lightly and remarked : "It is only one
of the little incidents of my trade."
King Humbert and Qm-en Marghertia
were greatly moved by th popular dem
onstration and twice appeared on a bal
cony of the palace and bowed their ac
knowledgements to the frantic cheering
of the populace. The embassies' public
offices and private houses were dec -rated
with flags as an expression of rejoicing
at the escape of his majesty and thou
sands of people inscribed their names
at the palace. During the afternoon
placards were posted unon the popula
tion to take part in a great manifesta
tion in honor of the king at 9 o'clock
last night.
This is thes- r.u d time the life of King
Humbert has been attempted.
Tramp Wreck a Tralu.
Lolmrvii.i b, Ky., April 23. A Louis
ville & Nashville express train was
wrecked at Evergreen yesterday.
At the offices of the L, & N. railroad
in this city it was learned that Engineer
Adams, Fireman , Janes and Express
Messenger Ixjcke were badly scalded
and injured. In many respects the
wreck was similar to the recent awful
affair at Cahaba, Ala , and though not
attended with such disastrous results,
seemed to have been planned as deliber
ately as that one. According to the in
formation which has reached the super
intendent of transportation, four tramps
were seen in the neighborhood shortly
before the accident occurred, removed
the rails just south of the trestle. The
job was neatly done and nothing would
liavy saved the train load of passengers
had it not been for the heroism of Fire
man Jones and Engineer Adams, who
remained at their posts after the engine
had left the track.
The engine, caboose, baggage and
mail cars were completely wrtcked, but
none of the passengers were injured.

Early in the morning Edhem Pasha's

the Greeks in force from Reveni,
Bougliasi and St. Elias. The fighting
was greatly extended and the battle
raged till late in the afternoon with
varying fortunes. The Greeks were as
sisted by the thoemnds of irregulars,
who harassed the Turkish outposts and
wings as well as participated in the gsn
eral engagements. The Tuiks had an
overwhelming superiority in numbers.
Ihey bad constructed earthworks and
trenches everywhere and in and behind

On the whole they clung tenaciously to

How llii Spaniard fight
Boston-, April 22. William Law,

written to a friend in Worcester under
date of Jucaro, Puerto Principle, April

"I am in the heart of the fighting.
The Cubans have "he best of it all
through, but of courre are suffering
great hardship. The entire east end of the
island is al'S )Iutely controlled by them
an 1 most of the provinces of Santa Clara
and Pi nar del Rio; besides Havana
itself is uncertain and may fall any day.
"A few days ago I saw a battle be
tween 800 Cubans and two forts de-J
tended oy i,uuo Spanish troops. It took
the Cubans less than thirty minutes to
take them and capture ail the arms and
cannon.
"Of course war is terrible. I see
brought in men, women and children
who have been murdered by Spanish
soldiers, whose fiendish deeds are too
awful to describe. I saw last week the
bodies of three beautiful little Cuban
girls, aged iht and six anil four years,
respectively; of their mother, a woman
about thirty, and of two old women,
possibly sixty years of age, all in one
heap with their throats cut.
' The war seems to be on women,

wait to fight, but throw down their
arms and run."

Atiikns, April 21 Midnight.) Newe
has just reached here that the Greeks,
after a desperate battle, have captuied
and burned Daroasi. Viglia is still re
sisting. Another division of theGrvek
troops, it is reported, bus traversed the
Reveni pass and captured three block
houses. This division has almost
reached Damasi, where it will efiVct a
union with the force that captured tha
town. The 20,000 troops uuder General
Smohmit displayed the greatest bravery.
Reveni lies twelve miles north v t of
Larissd. Edhem Pasha, with a lorce
vuriously estimated at from 10,000 to
14,000 troops, led seven assaults against
it yesterday, but all were repulsed by
the Greeks.
Crown. Prince Constantino has tele
graphed hre that the Turks at that
point were completely and finally re
pulsed. In Athens greater attention
has bern paid to the operations in the
neichborhood of Reveni than to those at
Milouna pass. The theory all elong has
beeu that if the Greeks could establish
themselves at Damasi their raid would
lie open to Elassona.
The exact situation at Tyrnavo is
somewhat in doubt. The news from
that point is conflicting. But there is
no confirmation of the rnmor that the
place has been captured by the Turks.
What seems to have happened is that
Tyrnavo was evacuated in order to send
troops forward to Reveni and was then
re-occupied by troops returning from
Milouna.

Sak Francisco, Cal., April 21. Tbe
strangeness of t ruth has often been com
mented upon as exceeding the most
fanciful flights of fiction. An illustra
tion is furnished in John Jos ph Nouri,
who has been ci owned patriarch at the
Cualdean pantifical cathepral atTrichur
Malalar, and is ruler over Syrian Chal
deans, . Four years ago he was com
mitted to the asylum for the insane at
Napa, and there be remained until Sep
tember, 1893, when he was restored to
liberty.
When released from the asylum Nouri
claimed to have been robbed of four
medals studded with diamonds, valued
at $2,500, the gift of the Chaldean Greek
church, of a negotiable note for $2,500
and of his credentials.
Dr. Chalmers Easton believed in him
and helped him in his journey eastward.
Later on he displayed his knowledge of
Greek, and in Washington, D. 0 , at the
Smithsonian institute, translated the
hieroglyphics on some tablets the with
surprising ease. He travelled on to
London, and from there cam'!, in 1889,
the story that he intended to sue the
United S'ales government for $5,000,000
damages for his ill-treatment while on
his sojourn here.
Now conies the climax to the story in
the letter from the Rev. H. Barrows de
claring that John Joseph Nouri, the de
posed king of the Chaldeans, has been
restored, that his claims have been rec
ognized and that the man who was
booked as "unkempt and with the black
luster eyes of a lunatic" is living in
iplendor in a Virgil palace in Trichur.
