DIR. Calvin Receivers Damages.

HIS DESPERATE srRUGGLE WITH BULLDOG TO
SAVE NEWBORN BABE RECALLED.
A Boston special to the Philadelphia Press
says: DR.. G. W. Calvin was awarded 800 dam
ages by jury in the superior court to-day in
settlement of one of the strangest cases ever
brought before the public. The case was based
upon injuries received last summer while
defending Mrs. Mary Parkers newly-born child
from the savage attack of a bulldog. The
woman had been safely delivered and the child
was laid upon the bed, while proper Offices
were performed for the mother. Suddenly,
from the corner of the room sprang out a large
bulldog: He leaped upon the bed and at
tempted to seize the newly-born babe in his
1angs; The doctor sprang to the child's defense
ana placed 1t in the arms of the nurse. Still
the savage animal, bent upon his prey, attacked
the woman and attempted to tear the child
from her arms. Again Dr. Calvin interfered.
and succeeded in pushing the woman from
f fnr;ou room The dog then assaulted him
the forearm. The doctor fought for
his life. and the brute bore him to the floor,
tearing the flesh of the arm and the thigh in
the most terrible manner. Over and over
roiied dog and man in life and death strug-
gle. covered with blood and dust. the doctor
fought for his life. Little by little he gained
upon his adversary. Intellect and strength
combined were superior to brute force. At
iast intellect conquered, and breathless and
limp the dog was hurled through the window
to the ground and the doctor was the con-
queror. But he was severely injured, and for
many weeks he was obliged to withdraw from
the practice of his profession and nurse his
wounds. He has now recovered his health and
strength, but in his dreams he frequently lives
over and over again the horrors of that quar-
ter OF an hour. In court to-day DR.. Calvin
was given verdict of 500 against Mrs. Par
ker, the owner Of the savage brute, and the
mother OF the child whose life il due to the
win.

BEFORE THE BRIDGE FELL.
Terrible Experience Of the Last Man
Who Crossed from Canada,

The last person who crossed the suspension
bridge at Niagara Falls before it went down in
the gale Of Wednesday night was DR.. j. W.
Hodge. He was returning from Canada al
about IL O'Clock, and, although the wind was
terrific, he ventured on his journey. He states
that after going some distance the bridge be-
came extremely agitated, and for his own safety
he was obliged to go down on his hands and
knees and slowly crawl along clinging to the
woodwork as firmly as possible. The wind sud-
denly increased as he was moving slowly along,
and the buttons were torn from his coat. The
bridge groaned and creaked, and it seemed as
though it would break in the center before he
could pass that point. 1t was too late to re-
trace his steps, however and he was obliged to
continue his snail-like journey.
The anchorage cables and upright cable sup
ports of the bridge are all in place. Crowds OF
people yesterday watched the swaying move
ments of those parts Of the ironwork still
swinging over the river. Part of the foot and
carriage portion of the bridge can be plainly
seen reclining at the foot of the Canada bank
across the river. Never before in the recollec-
ton of the Oldest citizens has the village expe-
rienced such breeze.
FURY OF THE GALE AT BUFFALO.
The worst wind storm in seventeen years
prevailed in Buffalo yesterday. In the city
proper large number of small injuries to
property here and there were reported. In
that portion of the suburbs along the lake
known as the island, numbers of the small cot
tages Of the poor residents were wrecked by
the wind and waves. The people living in the
houses near the beach, at the foot of Porter
avenue, suffered terribly. The water poured
into the cottages and shanties, and the people
made hurried escape Twenty families were
rendered homeless and their little property
almost swept away. Most of them are very
poor and are left in the worst plight imagin-
able.
wATER-woRKs BLOWN DRY.
Wednesdays storm was one of the most
severe that has visited Detroit for years. 1t
began shortly after noon, and at 2:3O O'Clock
the climax was reached at AZ miles an hour.
The river was like swirling whirlpool The
wind had full sweep up the river, and de-
spite the 4-mile current, the water was forced
back into Lake st. Clair. BY 8 o'clock it was
SO much below the usual level that the Wind
scr water-works ran dry. Fortunately there
was no damage done to shipping. The wind
played havoc with the telephone and telegraph
wires.

Anecdotes Of Andrew jackson,

HOW HE MET ONE ENEMY AND EvADED ANOTHER.
From the Nashville American
All anecdotes illustrating the character of
Andrew Jackson should be preserved. and
there are many that have never gone into
print. The writer can give two that will strike
all who know General Jackson's real character
as being true to life
An old citizen of this city who died only a
few years ago, as he stated, was in Kentucky in
1928, when General Jacson was candidate for
President. and General Jackson, in travelling
stopped in the town where he lived. The cam
vass was at fever heat; everybody was warm on
one side or the other. An eccentric Clay man
took especial pains in the most emphatic man
ner to show his hostility to General Jackson.
Finally, coming close up to the general he,
with great emphasis, said: Eyes, sir, l want
you to understand that am not going to vote
for you"
General Jackson, rising up and looking him
full in the eye, said: Sir, have given much
OF my life to my country, and it was that you
might have this privilege"
The other incident in the generals life was
given to the writer by Capt. Bell. who died re-
Gently at Knoxville at an advanced age His
father, as is known in East Tennessee was a
man OF prominence, and was a friend of Gen.
Jackson. He kept hotel on the main road
leading through East Tennessee, and which
was the road Gen. Jackson travelled to WASH
ington, and Gen. Jackson always stopped, as
Capt. Bell related, with his father when he
was elected President the first time he travelled
from Nashville in his private carriage, and be-
fore reaching Bells tavern he sent forward
servant to tell Mrs. Bell to have dinner for him
and his companions Driving up to the gate.
Capt. Bell, who was then young man, went
out with his father to receive the distinguish d
travellers. As the general got out of the car
riage and shook hands with his old friend, he
discovered, walking backward and forward
on the porch, North Carolina gentleman,
whose name the writer cannot call, but he was
at the time man of great prominence, and be-
tween whom and Gen. Jackson there was the
most deadly hatred, growing out of indignities
offered the general while candidate, and
which had come nigh leading to duel. This
gentleman had stopped and was waiting for
dinner, and the meeting was accidental. Gen
Jackson recognized him at once. He took in
the situation. The deep enmity existed, but
he had been elected President of the United
States, and turning to Mr.. Bell he said: please
tell Mrs. Bell we are under many obligations to
her, but we will not stay for dinner" Saving
which he shook hands, got in the carriage, and
drove on. Capt. Bell told the writer that his
father knew all the circumstances, and there
was no explanation necessary.

The HATFIELDs WANT TO MAKE TERMs.-A
special to the Baltimore Sun from Charleston,
W. Va, January 10, says: Capt. Hatfield and
his father, Anse Hatfield who are prominent in
the famous Hatfield Mccoy vendetta of Logan
county, this state, and Pike county, Ky, are
endeavoring to make terms with the officers
and all others and to bury the Ratchet. They
were at Logan courthouse the first of the
week, and stated that they wanted peace, and
allowed to be acquitted. They were heavily
armed, and the detectives and officers made no
attempt to arrest them.

How to Measure Socks.

counter of one of our furnishing stores,
the other evening, and called for pair
of socks. q" Be sure that you get them
large enough" said he, for when they
are too snail they always wear through
at the toes" Eyes, sir" replied the
polite clerk; " III get them right Will
you please hold out your hand?" s. l

young man, somewhat surprised.

clerk, but | want to see your hand. >
The customer held out his hand and
doubled up his fist, as directed. The
clerk took one of the socks from the
box, wrapped the foot around the fist,
and guaranteed perfect fit. 6 am
just as sure it will fit you as though |
had measured your foot, i" said the clerk,
" as the distance around the fist is al

"HorSe and Stable" has the follow
ing to say in regard to the benefit to
health from horseback riding A.
Shuman, the big clothing dealer of
Boston, has been troubled with dis
ease that disturbed his sleep greatly,
but few months in the saddle COM
pletely cured him. He feels twice the
man he was. Ten years ago one of the
best known men in Boston was so
troubled with dyspepsia that he hated
himself. None of the insurance com
panies would take him as risk, and
now he is sound as a nut and as happy
as a king, and all from horseback rid
ing. Equestriansm is more than fad !;
it is common-sense recreation which
more persons can afford than think
they could, if they only would figure
the cost If people will ride more they
will be happier and live longer. Horse
back riding is getting down among the
people where it belongs, and it is not
and will not be forever the exclusive
property of the rich" Dr. Hartshorne
says the effects of bicycling upon the
health are equally beneficial, to say the
least
