His account of some of the thrilling events in his life is as follows: “Man hunting is common enough in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. When a man in that country commits a crime he makes a bee-line for the rou, lands around the Ozarks. Few people live there except moonshiners, horse thieves and generzl all-around desperadoes. We who make a profession of going in for these criminals are called man hunters. Sometimes we work for the state reward, sometimes for railroad companies and sometimes for the United States govern- ment secret service department. I com- menced as a deputy sheriff when I was twenty-eight years old and I have been at it for thirty years. I do not remember how many men I have kunied and captured and brought out of the woods, but they would make a small army if they were all in a bunch. range Code of Etlauette. “At first I had a great deal of trouble with the moonshiners.

The hurricane was socn over, and nine miles below our battle ground I dragged poor Bill up to-dry land and put him in a grave which I dug with my jack-knife. suppose my most thrilling experience was in capturing not a criminal, but a man unter, v 1 gone insane. ‘Sam Boyle Fes his name.

I saw Sam enter the stable and I made straight for it, dismounting before he saw me.

He lived all alone on his pice and was regarded as harmless until one day he commenced to shoot at every man who happened along the road. He had a crazy notion that the whole state of Kansas had Leen employed to hunt him down, and opened fire upon everybody passing the place. Several attempts were made to par- ley with him, but he answered only with bullets from his Winchester. Somebody had to get him, and the unpleasant task fell to me. He and I had been very friend- dy, and the sheriff thought I might be able to pacify him until he could be made a prisoner. Of course we could not kill him. biade he jabbed my shoulders, neck and face, until I managed to catch his wrist jn my right hand. Then we had a rough and tumble all over the floor, sometimes on our krees, sometimes one on top, sometimes the other. We were pretty equally match- ed. He had the strength of a maniac, and I was fighting for my life. I had rendered the knife hand powerless by my vise-like grasp on his wrist, and he had his left on my throat, and I could not get it away. “My breath was coming short and things were beginning to dance before my eyes.

The latter was over- turned and as we sank to the floor again, I felt the butt of my revolver under my arm. Loosing my hand I seized it and holding it in the air fired three quick shots.

On Sunday, August 22, a beautiful statue of Raphael was unveiled at Urbino. The monument {fs the work of the sculptor Pie- tro Belli of Turin. The figure of Raphael, which stands upon a massive granite ped- estal, is represented in his working dress, and is a graceful and lifelike portrait of “the divine painter.” He stands in the at- titude of contemplating from afar the ef- fect of one of his works. ‘In his left hand he holds a palette, a paint brush being in his right. The pedestal is im the cinque cente style, the ornamentation somewhat resembling the decoration of the Ducal Palace at Venice. At the front and at the back of the pedestal are beautiful groups taken from the works of Raphael; the little angels from the pictures of the Madonna di Fotigno, of the Baldacchino, and of the San Sisto. One group symbolizes painting and the other sculpture. Upon the dado of the pedestal are bas-reliefs, one of which represents Raphael at the pontifical court painting the portrait of Leo X with two cardinals. The other one represents him intent upon directing the decoration of the lIcggie of the vatican. On either side of the pedestal is seated a figure; to the right is a woman of Greek outline in the act of divesting herself of a mantle which enfolds her, who symbolizes the Renaissance of Art; to the left is a Genius of Mici elangel- esque pose, who holds on high a crown of laurel. Festoons of laurel on the dado bind together the coats of arms of the cities of Uibno, Perusia, Florenze, Siera and Rome. The medallions at the base re produce from authentic documerts the pertraits of Bra- mante, Timeteo Viti, of Perugino, Giovanni da Udine, Pierino del Vaga, Francesco Pe roni, Giulio Romano and Marcantonio Rai- mondi. The statue of Raphael, together with those ef the Renaissance and of the Genius of Art, as also the medaliions, are ali in bronze. The groups of a ngels, the or- ramentations and bas-reliefs are executed in Carrara marble, ——+ +. AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, & Monday.
