Twice Punctured His Wheel and Is Held Up by Two Tramps. RUNS OVER A RATTLESNAKE. Sleeps Out, Hungry, With Money in His Pocket, and Takes Innu. merable Headers. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Oct. 15.—M. C. Mur- dock, a young lather living in this city, returned to-night from Omaha. He went there from San Diego on hjs wheel, leav- ing here June 28 at 4 A. M. and arriving at | Omaha on July 30 at6 p. M., making 22 miles by wheel in the thirty-three days. “I went via San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Ogden and Cheyenne,” said Murdock last night. ‘“Except for the dis- tance between Green River and Cheyenne, Wyoming, I made the entire distance by wheel. It was a great experience. I punctured my wheel twice, was held up by a tramp, rode over a rattle- snake, went through two rainstorms, slepv out hungry with money in my pocket, took innumerable headers, and had an experience with a pair of as gentlemanly Lorsethieves as ever cut a throat. Noth- ing happened in California except the first puncture. I left hero with a whole lot of truck, extra clothing, sponge, towels, etc. By the time I had reached Sacramento I shed them and took every- thing off down to my sweater, knickers and helmet. I even took the name-plate off the wheel, so as to get down to march- ing order. I followed the Union Pacific wherever practicable, riding on the track. *It was in the snowsheds near Cisco on July 8 that I was held up. A tramp came at me with a club and demanded $5, but T got my gun out and he tried to turn it off as a joke. Out on the Nevada deserts 1 often went hungry and had to slesp un- der the dense foliage of telegraph-poles. Between Reno and Wadsworth I went on 1o the country road and 1t began to rain. My tire was punctured again and I was in a bad fix all aronnd. Toere was a little Eouse half a mile off tiie road, and I went there to get shelter ana fire to fix my tire. “A man came to the door bristling with guns. He had two revolvers on and a ‘Winchester in his hand. He greeted me cordially enough, and I went inside. Then another young fellow came in through a side door. and he was armed the same way—two revoivers and a rifle, On the table was another rifle, and there were guns and knives scattered about. They treated me well, and I staved all night. They told me they kilied wild horses for their hides. One of the fellows said: sionally there is a branded horse among the others, and of course we don’t know it when we shoot. After it is killed it migbt as well be skinned, but if | the owner caug| it us at it there would be a shooticg match right there. So we carry our guns ready for any emergency.’ “‘When 1 offered to pay the next morn- ing they would take nothing. Think of it. It was between Julesburg and Big Springs, Nebr., that I ran over the rattle- snake. He was lying right acress the road in the earlly morning and the air was quite chilly. was scorching along to keep warm, and was on the snake before I knew it. I could not stop, so just hoisted my feet up to the handle-bars and let her go. I tell you my hair curled there for a minute; but the snake was stretched out and did not have time to coil. The wheel stood the trip remarkably well, and be- yond the two punctures and worn tires I had no trouble.” Tillman Speaks at Salem. SALEM, Or., Oct. 15.—United States Senutor Ben A. Tillman spoke here to- night at the Second Regiment armory to 2000 people. His audience was about equally divided between Democrats, Pop- ulists, Republicans and ladies. The address was appreciated more from the celebrity of the speaker than from any potency of logic or vote-winning peculiari- ties. He was exactly twenty-four bours ahead of the time set by the silver com- mittee and his unexpected arrival set them all agog witn confusion. However, he made a good impression by the moderateness of his address, which was a disappointment to many who anticipated something sensational. He has an itinerary involving ten more speeches in this State and leaves for the Iowa and Michizan campaign-field on Friday, the 23d inst. He was preceded on the rostrum by M. A. Hurley of San Fran- cisco. S Ahipwrecked Sealers Reach Victoria. VICTORIA, B.
