Soon moti, women, children and dogs
were aeon running hum all directions
toward tbo field in which tho balloon
was oxiiected to come down. Hero an
amusing incident oceurod. 'Two large
dogs, evidently mortal enemies, lielong
ing to neighboring farmers, met upon
the field while tlio balloon wns some
hundreds of feet alsivo them. Not ob
serving the halloou, and probably sup
posing that tlio excitement among tlio

likotnio terriers; "Ihey tH,they growled
nnd they yowled," and there is no
knowing what might hnvo been the
result of the fight, hud they not dis
covered the balloon coming right down
upon them; but as soon as they saw it,
they let go their holds, yelied in con
curt, and with their tails between their
legs, fled ingloiiously from tho hattlo-
neld.. . . .
In tho meantime the balloon landed

of r. A. Jloattio, siluuted in Chancu-

than a mile ami a-half from the new

About dusk that ovoning, us ho and

Then commenced a death struggle.
The snake would, strike at the dug.
and ho would scizu'il in his mouth and
shake it.' Hofore ho go,'; good hold
on it, it sfrnok him several times wilh
its fangs. The dog had previously
killed several rattlesnakes, and under-1

Then, reeling like a drunken man, un

tho bravo fellow placed his feet on its

him he literally tore out its vititls and
strewed them on tho ground. In a

that wo wore npptvhensive they would

As freight train No. 10, coming

reached a point about ono mile this

"My iiamo is August (iardiicr. I

poor, having' only a few dollars. This
tlitl not tlo any good, for they seized'
ine, two holding mo and tho other one
searching my pockets ami taking my
ptx'ket book und every thing else I hail.
They threw ine down on the track. I
thought they wore going to kill me
and I begged llioni to spare, my life.
They said nothing, but ouo of them
produced a long piece of roM3 from his
pocket, nutl they commenced to tie mo
lo tho track, over a cuttle guard. 1
wits badly frightened. 1 told them
that I never knew tliem, and had
never dono them any harm, and If
they would let mo go I would snv
notiiing of what hail occurred. While
1 was talking and pleading with them
they still kept on tying mo to tho
track over tho cnttlo guard. They
tied me lengthways to tbo Hill. The
rope was tightly fustened around my
body, legs and arms. When they got
through 1 could not move my arms
and legs. While I wus begging them
not to leave mo thero they went off.
1 knew that the cars would be ulnng
soon, and I triod my utmost to free
myself anil loosen t ho roos that bound
