She Sawed the Tree in Two.

From the LEWISTON Evening Journal.
A story comes from South Lewiston
about a farmer who was cutting wood In
his wood lot on a low part of the farm
Saturday Afternoon. His wife and children
had gone to Lisbon on business and would
not be back till o'clock in the evening.
It was 3 o'clock. He cut on one side of
big beech and was cutting through the
other side when suddenly it fell, and as it
did 80 the other end slid over the stump
for ten feet and then rolled off.
10 was done so quickly that the farmer
had no time in which to get out of the
way The log rolled off and struck him,
pinning one leg down to the soft moss and
muck in which he was standing. The bone
was not broken, but he could not get out.
His own house was nearest to the spot, but
no one was there. In his pocket he carried
a revolver with but one cartridge in 1t.
The explosion OF this would attract atten-
ton. but II that failed to attract any one ne
might stay there all night. He waited there
in the cold and wet until his wife was sure
to be at home, and then fired the shot and
cried oat for help at the top Of his voice.
In half an hour his wife, who had missed
him, on her arrival at home, had found him
there. and sawed the log of with a cross
cut saw. She assisted him to the house,
where he was put through a course of
sprouts, as he terms it. aud was warmed up
30 that he recovered with only q lame leg
and bad cold.

he encouraged the dumping of dirt around

squatter sovereignty. The claim was in
1890.
Then the trouble began. N. K. Fair

had bought that portion OF the lake with all

The captain converted bis house intoa fort,

with shotguns, shooting two OF them. but
not fatally.
Mr.. Fairbanks did not succeed in recapt-
