Horse Head, Clovén Hoofs Forked Tail—Banished For Many Years. and Leeds’ devil has reappeared in New Jersey for the first time since it warned the pioneers of the approach of the civil war. Back in the middle colonial days, says the New York Herald, there lived in Burlington, on the Delaware, the pioncer Quaker settlement of the county, a woman known as “Mother Leeds,” accused of amateur witcheraft, and witchcraft was at its. height thereabouts at that time. In. 1735 Mother Leeds gave birth to a male ebild, whose father was later said to have been none other than the prince of darkness. The child was normal at birth, but: before. the termination of the tempestuous night of its arrival horiifiedsseveral old crones about the bedside of . gathered Mother Leeds by assuming an elongated, . serpentlike body, cloven hoofs, the head j arrested last night by Marshal Tompfa horse, the-wings of a bat and the'y, A . api gay ; ;kius und Constable Dillon for being forked tail of a dMhgon. The coloring of the horrible creature turned. to a dusky brown, and after bepummeling its mother and her terrified companions it. flew up the chimney, uttering lond, raucots cries. Circling about from village to village during this eventful night, the fiend devoured several babies, assaulted women baie @. “a 3 < LEEDS’ DEVIL. and made for the forest. For some years afterward belated travelers, while crossing -the pines, heard and saw it. The pine folks, whose experiences were even more terrible, attributed to it supernatural powers such as possessed by the black witches of English folklore. It turned the milk sour, lamed horses in their stalls, dried up the cows, made sear the Indian corn growing in the fields. Accompanied, as it usually was, by the howling of dogs and the hooting of owls, there could be no surer disaster. grown dune to another, watchful upon those wild nights when merchant ships, driving their prows iuto the sand, burst asunder and distributed their*reight of costly goods and human souls upun the, relentless waves. “Epon such occasions Leeds’ devil was seen in the companionship of a bexutiful, golden haired woman in white, or yet of some fferce eyed, cutlass bearing, disembodied spirit, of a pirate who two centuries ago had been wrecked upon the shore of Cape May county as, plying from the Spanish main, his galleon had gone to destruction. Again this same son of satan shared his haunts with a headless seaman whom the Barn gat people say Captain Kidd decapitated and _ stiffened trunk that very ‘pirate king le‘t ~ standing as a sentinel of bis buried “~. gotten gold.

The Supervisors of Yuba county on yesterday passed an order instructing District Attorney McDaniels to begin suit against W. T. Phipps, Jobn C. White and D. P. Durst, -officers of the Anti-Debris Association, to recover some $7,000 that it is alleged the Association bas unlawfully drawn from the County Treasury. The District Attorney is ordered to employ W.

Forbes on behalf of the people to assist him in the prosecution. ‘ : Sapervisors McGuire, Irvin, “Conrath and Mellon voted in favor of this . action, John Stineman of Wheatland . bsing the only member of the Board ‘to oppose it. Onthe question of making the appropriations they now seek {to recover, Supervisors Conrath and Mellon are the only members heretofore opposing them, Messrs.

It is claimed that the Association ofsers have from the tirst drawn in all from the county about $80,000 that they were not authorized by law.to have, but that the claim for all of it with the exception of the amount to be sued for has outlawed. Most of it has been taken at the rate of $300a mouth. ; It is said that Sutter, Colusa and . Sacramento counties, all of which have like Yaba been remorselessly bled for . years by the ringsters, will take similar . steps torecover.

Fulton accomplished two clever running purloins, and the diminutive Luiz, who played short in Long’s place, madetwe great catches and robbed Lunn of a hit by knocking downa hard drive. For two innings both sides sparred for an opening. Five of the six foreigners went ont on weak insects. On the other side, Miller cricketed the ball aud meandered down to second, and Snow drew a base. McCollum advanced Johnson to second by a votive offering, but the husky catcher blundered around the second sack when Fulton went out and was chased to death between the two bases, winding up with a mud-spattering slide into Lunn at the saucer. In the eighth Sullivan drew the initial for an introduction and slid to the next on Blencoe’s roller. A moment later, on Davies’ sharp ray to Flager, he was ciught trying to steal the third baseman’s watch, and the side was retired on half pay. In the ninth Matteson marred the game by a foible by overlooking Hali’s grounder, but McGinnis, after a 120-yard hurdle grabbed Hoyt’s short bee, ending the game and rounds up the percentage ladder.” Six loaves bread tor 25c at Homann’s “0D'S 0 ILLS valuabie to prevent a cold or break up a fever, Mild gentle, certain, they are worthy your confidence.

NEW RACE OF GIANTS. Monsters of Humanity In the South . Polar Regioas. Some papers are exploiting photographs of a race of giants said to have been discovered by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who has just returned from an exploring expedition to the south polar regions. The existence of such a race has always been denied by scientists, but Dr. Cook, it is said, has not only seen and talked with them, but brings back photographs to prove beyond argument that the biggest race of human beings in the world is to be found in the frozen south, The monstrous forms of both the men and women are clad im furs. The men arm themselves with bows and arrows and wooden elubs. Their strength and endurance are remarkable. The mé@h can outrun apy SOUTH POLAR GIANT. horse on a leng stretch.They can cover AQ iniles in a few hours. To see a company of these wild men crossing a plain is like watching a herd of antelope skim over the greund. Only their upright position; with their scanty goats’ skins flying in the wind and the flourish of their clubs and bows and arrows, shows that they are men instead of belonging to the lower animals. Dr. Cook is going to write a full scientific account of ‘these people. ; He Saw a Light. An obstinate youth who refused to admit the reaxonablepess of a parental injunction” finally received this laconic Warning from the old man, “See a light or take a licking.” It is recorded that the boy instantly saw a light.

The Supervisors of Yuba county on yesterday passed an order instructing District Attorney McDaniels to begin suit against W. T. Phipps, Jobn C. White and D. P. Durst, -officers of the Anti-Debris Association, to recover some $7,000 that it is alleged the Association bas unlawfully drawn from the County Treasury. The District Attorney is ordered to employ W. H Carlin-and E.A. Forbes on behalf of the people to assist him in the prosecution. ‘ : Sapervisors McGuire, Irvin, “Conrath and Mellon voted in favor of this . action, John Stineman of Wheatland . bsing the only member of the Board ‘to oppose it. Onthe question of making the appropriations they now seek {to recover, Supervisors Conrath and Mellon are the only members heretofore opposing them, Messrs. McGuire j and Irwin having only recently seen . the error of their way aud experienced a change of heart. It is claimed that the Association ofsers have from the tirst drawn in all from the county about $80,000 that they were not authorized by law.to have, but that the claim for all of it with the exception of the amount to be sued for has outlawed. Most of it has been taken at the rate of $300a mouth. ; It is said that Sutter, Colusa and . Sacramento counties, all of which have like Yaba been remorselessly bled for . years by the ringsters, will take similar . steps torecover. Ifthe courts should . hold that the money has been illegally . taken, it will prove a death-biow to the Anti-Debris Association and a terrible disappointment to Bub Devlinand the other lawyers who have for years beén enjoyiug sweh a fat thing at the expense ot the valley people. + ete + ——____—_ Are Welcome to Him.

Adist es sayed to steal his domicile on a passed ball, and plowed through the mad ina frantic slide only to be shut off by'a from the central garden. Fulton accomplished two clever running purloins, and the diminutive Luiz, who played short in Long’s place, madetwe great catches and robbed Lunn of a hit by knocking downa hard drive. For two innings both sides sparred for an opening. Five of the six foreigners went ont on weak insects. On the other side, Miller cricketed the ball aud meandered down to second, and Snow drew a base. McCollum advanced Johnson to second by a votive offering, but the husky catcher blundered around the second sack when Fulton went out and was chased to death between the two bases, winding up with a mud-spattering slide into Lunn at the saucer. In the eighth Sullivan drew the initial for an introduction and slid to the next on Blencoe’s roller. A moment later, on Davies’ sharp ray to Flager, he was ciught trying to steal the third baseman’s watch, and the side was retired on half pay. In the ninth Matteson marred the game by a foible by overlooking Hali’s grounder, but McGinnis, after a 120-yard hurdle grabbed Hoyt’s short bee, ending the game and rounds up the percentage ladder.” Six loaves bread tor 25c at Homann’s “0D'S 0 ILLS valuabie to prevent a cold or break up a fever, Mild gentle, certain, they are worthy your confidence.

NEW RACE OF GIANTS. Monsters of Humanity In the South . Polar Regioas. Some papers are exploiting photographs of a race of giants said to have been discovered by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who has just returned from an exploring expedition to the south polar regions. The existence of such a race has always been denied by scientists, but Dr. Cook, it is said, has not only seen and talked with them, but brings back photographs to prove beyond argument that the biggest race of human beings in the world is to be found in the frozen south, The monstrous forms of both the men and women are clad im furs. The men arm themselves with bows and arrows and wooden elubs. Their strength and endurance are remarkable. The mé@h can outrun apy SOUTH POLAR GIANT. horse on a leng stretch.They can cover AQ iniles in a few hours. To see a company of these wild men crossing a plain is like watching a herd of antelope skim over the greund. Only their upright position; with their scanty goats’ skins flying in the wind and the flourish of their clubs and bows and arrows, shows that they are men instead of belonging to the

lower animals. Dr. Cook is going to write a full scientific account of ‘these people. ; He Saw a Light. An obstinate youth who refused to admit the reaxonablepess of a parental injunction” finally received this laconic Warning from the old man, “See a light or take a licking.” It is recorded that the boy instantly saw a light.
