opportunity to test the speed of this an

saw big moose standing directly on
the truck As soon as the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down tho path between the rails. For
about four miles we had a perfectly
straight track, and Us I had heard of
the great speed Of this animal 1 deter
mined to test its ability. The gait of the
moose was q sort of trot, such only ns
moose can exhibit, his PAGES being about
two rods i'll length. At first it was only
little jog, but as the engine began to
gain speed the moose let himself out.
Faster and faster sped tho engine, but
still the frightened moose trotted In the
van, and all the mysterious power of
steam could not prevail upon this mon

covered the four miles, turning curve,
we came upon gang Of section hands
who were fixing the track. The sight of
these men frightened the moose from

Scenes Witnessed In Borneo, Where These
Animals Arc Most Plentiful. ~

The great island of Bornoo is the
homo OF the orang, and one Of the most
noticeable features Of the landscape Is
tho nests OF the orang, which are scat
tered about thiokly among the tall trees
From their number one might get a
greatly exaggerated impression of the
plentifulness of the species unless IL
were understood how and for what pur-
pose these roosting places were con-
structed The apes are greatly annoyed
by flies, from which they are able to
protect tho front part of their bodies
with their hands, but they cannot keep
the vicious insects from biting them in
tho rear, and so they gather q quantity
Of leaves and branches and make them
into touches to repose against among
the boughs.
a protection Of this sort serves very
well for awhile. but presently its mate
rial begins to docompose, and the decay
ing leaves attract the flies which the
orang Is 80 anxious to got rid Of Then
he Is obliged to make another nest Of
fresh stuff, and 80 he may require doz-
EN- of them in the course of the year.
Inasmuch as he does not take the trouble
to remove the old one they remain to
adorn the tree top In which no swings
about Orangs have curious method
of fighting. In their conflict among
themselves, which arc frequent, their
effort is always to seize the fingers Of
their adversaries and bite them.
1t Is owing to this method Of battle
that it Is almost impossible to procure q
skin which does not lack some Of the

purpose its jaws arc excellently adapt

his name is Med Hayward late of Savan-

ward. who IS in the employ of j. A.
Stewart, was left at the house yesterday
morning TO cut wood. while Mrs. Stewart
closed the house and went to pay a
neigh Dor a visit. In a short time Hay
ward came running to the house
of the neighbor, apparently excited,
eXclaiming at the same time that two
white men. tagged and barefooted, had
broken into the house and had stolen
pistol, and on seeing him had run off, but
not until he had shot twice at them with
a Winchester rife which he had secured
in the house after the abrupt departure
of the white men. Mrs Stewart i'm
mediatelv notified Sheriff Smith,
who was soon on the ground.
A little discrepancy in one story
of young Hayward caused that
astute officer TO fasten the crime on him.
The sheriff charged Hayward with the
theft, who in a short time confessed it
and got the pistol from where he mad bur
led it at the foot of grapevine, some
two hundred feet from the house. Hay
ward was lodged in Jail last evening.
