J [Entered at the Postoffice Alexandria, Virgin? ia, as second-class matter.] Experience of a Wheelman. Teddy Dolsou a few nights ago had an experience compared with which Tarn o' Sbanter's famous rids pales into insignificance. Instead of the horse with which Tarn was equipped, Teddy had a bicycle ; in the places of the witches that pursued and plagued and almost crazed the Scotsman, the Chey? enne man was followed by hungry coyotes. Tain, too, had taken a gener? ous libation of usquebaugh, while Dol sou's only refreshment was a hearty supper. On the evening in question, accord? ing to his habit, Dolson started out lor a bicycle run. He had intended to go a few miles south, then return, but be iug unacquainted with the country lost his way, and in endeavoring to regain his bearings lost himself entirely. He wheeled on in the direction that Chey? enne seemed to him to be, arriving at 8.30 o'clock at Wheeler's ranch. 20 miles from Cheyenne. There he was directed how to get back to town, and started back on the trail. Un and on he rode, but in no fixed direction, for in the darkness be hud promptly lost his way again on leaving the "Wheeler ranch. As he wheeled aloig in the gloomy night over the untracked prairie, wishing for noth? ing on earth so much as a comfortable bed, he became suddenly aware of the fact that he was being closely followed. Behind him was a pack of yelping, howling coyottes, that were close upon him before being noticed. There in? tention was so evident that his waning energies were awakened with a thrill. He bent over his wheel and pushr d it as fast as he could over hill and valley, but always closely followed by the co? yottes. To add to his misfortunes, he broke a pedal in attempting too great sj eed, and was on the point of giving oui and letting the hungry coyottes do their worst when he spied a deserted shack a short distance away. To this he has? tened, and, abandoning his bicycle, climbed upon the root that slanted up from the ground. Even here the co? yottes followed him, but a coign of vantage and place of refuge was found on the top of the chimney. All night he remained there, at times driving away his pursuers with frag? ments of bricks, which caused their re? treat to a short distance, whence, after a series of lugubrious howls, the* would return to the attack. At day', light they departed with a parting sa? lute of angry howls, and Dolson climb? ed down aud mounted his bicycle, soon reaching Pierce station on the Denver Pacific, 3S miles from Cheyenne.? Cheyenne Leader. Ezeta Tells His Story.?Gen. An? tonio Ezeta and his refugee companions from San Salvador declare that the charges of murder and robbery , prefer? red against them are easily explain? able. Ezeta says that between the 20th of April aud May three battles were fought near Santa Anna, in which his forces were defeated. Ezeta was wound? ed in the head on May 3, aud was con? cealed in a house. Two weeks later, with 3000 of his followers, he made his way to the seacoast. There he found the Bennington and asked for refuge until the steamer San Boules on her way north arrived four days later. When the San Boules ar? rived, the refugees were not allowed to board her, but were kept against their will on the Bennington. Ezeta explains the charge of murder against him by saying that he did not kill the man, but that thet amsterwho tried to iutercept him was shot by one of his men, an American. Lieutenant Coffin corroborated the story as regards the bank robbery. Ezeta says he took the money from"the bank and gave his receipt for it as president of the repub? lic, and used it in the pay of his soldiers. This he claims he had a right to do under the law of the country." General Bustamento, who is accused" of hanging four men, states he hung them, but said the men were deserters from the army. In fact, all the offenses charged against the refugees are explained by them as committed while attempting to fulfil the laws of the country.

To those who were wise enough to give us a <all and to inspect the offerings we have been making for the last few weeks, it is need? less for us to say anything in the way of ex? planation of what we are doing. Our bar? gains are more convincing than columns of argument and our prices more eloquent than mere words. But to those who are sby and back ward, and who are suspicious of "sales" gotten up now and then by merchants to boom business, we desire to say a few words to-day. In the first place wo want you to under? stand that this is no "fake" selling out. It isn't done for pleasure, and it isn't done for profit. Stern necessity caused the institution of this sale. Stern necessity fixed the prices. Stern necessity again demands a cut in prices regardless of the value, cost and desirability o'the Goods, Wares and Merchandise we have still or hand Tiic law says that this estate must be speed? ily wound up, and wind up is the word even 'f wo have to practically give the goods away. Now, if we have convinced you that this is a bona fide clearing out. and have gained enough of your confidence to have you be? lieve that our object is to get rid of the goods we have at any prices, wo will, for the pur? pose of convincing those who have not visited our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE that we offer the bargains of a life-time, quote some prices we have made on popular and de? sirable goods. Figures, wo know, don't lie, so we will let them speak for themselves. Look over our list carefully, and if yoti see anything you want, cut out the advertisemaut, aDd put you finger on the article and come to ns, and you will get the stuff exoctly as advertised. To our numerous friends who have been in to see us so often lately, we desire to say only that this picnic can't last much longer. Make hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your gain. A word-to the wise is sufficient. Watch our figures. Here goes: PILLOW CASE COTTONS AND' SHEETINGS. 42-inch Pillow Case Cotton. Former price 12h2c.
