Battle for Ufe Sixteen Stories from the
<■ round.
C hicago , March 31.—Today George
Doyle, of this city, and Robert (iedney,
of Philadelphia, went to the top of the
Great Northern hotel, the new 16-story
building, to look over the city. They
stood for some time looking about and
then Gedney gave a strange laugh and
grabbing Doyle, began to pull him about,
as if the cool breeze had exhilarated him
to playfulness. Then he said :
“Hold my hands, I want to look
down.”
Doyle did so and after Gedney had re
covered himself, he approached Doyle
with a baneful light in his eyes and a
strange earnestness in his voice, con
trasting unpleasantly with his recent
playfulness, and said:
“You’ve got to jump off the building
or I will throw you off.”
With fearful reality it came to Doyle’s
memory that (iedney, several years ago,
had been treated for a mild form of in
sanity. His first impulse, as a sickening
realization of the situation came over
him, was to call for help. But he saw it
was useless, and tried to temporize,
treating the matter as a joke.
“Will you jump?” fiercely screamed
(iedney.
Without wailing for reply, he seized
Doyle and began dragging him toward
the edge. Doyle touglit with the despe
ration of despair, and the men staggered
to and fro over the roof.
Robert Haslam, who has an office in
the Monadnock building, across the
street, saw the men struggling ami
watched them, thinking it was only
sport. He soon saw, however, it was a
struggle of life and death, ami hurrying
down he rushed to the hotel and in
formed Eden, the proprietor. Accom
panied by a porter the three men started
for the roof. On the stairs leading to
the turret they encountered Doyle bare
headed, with his cloth torn from his
back. He was very weak, excited and
in a fainting condition. When Doyle
was able to talk he gave a graphic
account of the fearful light for life, and
it was learned he had only escaped by
strategy. After the struggle had pro
gressed sometime and feeling his strength
almost gone, he suddenly called to Ged
ney to stop and he would jump off. He
stipulated, however, that he must have
a few moments for prayer. He slepja-d
back ami knelt down, while (iedney re
verently lwnt his head. Doyle watched
him through half-closed eyes and
suddenly darted for the scuttle and
went through it like a flash into the arms
of his would-be rescuers.

There will be no great difficulty exper

OREGON'S FOSSIL WONDERS.
River's Twain Rich in Relics of I*re
Historic Ages.
It is a fact not generally known that
in some portions of Eastern Oregon, hut
particularly in the John Day river region
and on Crooked river, are found some of
the most interesting fossil fields in the
known world. They are most wonderful,
writes L. S. D. in The Dallas Chronicle,
from the fact that they are different in
containing remains of ancient life found
in no other part of the world.
Imagine yourself in a very ancient
lake bed; how old, none but the (ireat
Maker can tell, (io down into one of
those gigantic crevices, of which the
John Day river itself is one, and its
tributaries are others.
These great
chasms have been cut down by countless
ages of constant erosion through the
overlying basaltic rtw-k and into these
most remarkable of ancient mudbeds,
now also hardened into rock, ami con
taining these strange relics of life in the
mysterious past, when man was un
known.
These beds are found in many places
to be*several hundred feet in thickness,
and arc worn ami gullied by the constant
washings and melting snows into the
most fantastic groups of beautiful color
ing, from red, gr«-«-n, yellow ami blue to
pure white, ami from lop to bottom con
taining the remains of hundred of mam
mals, fishes and plants. The mammals
are here represented in various forms,
from the tiny mouse to tlx-most gigantic
beasts of ancient America.
A most interesting feature of this great
group of tertiary beds is the vast number
of species found here. Also many new
genii have been found here; that is,
many remains have been found of ani- |
main that were entirely new to science.
This group is known the world over as
the John Day group, Is-cause it is ident
ified with no other group in tin world,
as far as known. In these great tombs
of lost races lie the remains of vast herds
of strange beasts, preserved here from
the darkness to excite? the wonder of
man. Here is found the tiny hors«-, no
larger than a merino sheep, |M*rfectly
develo|M*l ami of authentic age, as his
teeth can prove. Also great herds of
camels, elephants and rhinoceros, of
queer ty|M-s, roamed this region. There
were also gigantic Is-asts of prey. Lions
are found here that would put th«- largest
African king of Is-asts to shame. Also
tigers of immense size. Not less than
12 distinct sp«-ci«-s, great ami small, of
the tapir-like animal named by scientists
the ore« s Ion, he buried here. Many
very fine specimens of this animal have
lieen found. The feline race is well re-
pr«-M4-nt«*<l by many fine specimens of
various species. Dogs of many kinds
one«* howled in this awful wilderness, no
less than 10 «listinct species of this
animal Is-ing found in a single summer.
The great entelodon, a monster hog. was
here in great numliers.
