A MAN WHO SHOOTS AND STEALS
Andrew Carson Shot Three
Times by a Burglar.
The Thief Then Steals Horse
and Escapes.
whittier the Scene of Bloody Duel
In the Dark Which VIII Prob
ably Result in Car
sons Death.

Rev. Andrew Carson. a Methodist
minister residing at Whittier, was shot
three times by burglar at O'Clock
yesterday morning. He is dangerously
wounded.
About the hour mentioned Mr.. Carson
was awakened by q noise in an adioin-
ing room. He armed himself with a
poker and went to investigate. The bur
glar was found in the kitchen, and upon
catching sight of Mr.. Carson ran into
the pantry.
Mr.. Carson followed the nocturnal
marauder, and struggle ensued. He
struck the burglar several times with the
poker, and the fellow reciprocated by
three revolver shots. One shot, the
most dangerous of the three, took effect
in the right breast, going through the
lung and coming out under the right
shoulder blade another shot struck the
top of the right shoulder and the other
shattered his left arm.
the nervy minister did not give up the
fight, but followed the burglar through
a window and then returned to his bed
room.
Mrs. Carson caught her husband as he
fell from exhaustion. Physicians were
summoned at once and pronounced the
wound dangerous but not necessarily
fatal.
The burglar escaped. In his fight he
went to the residence of David Dandreth
and stole horse, riding off toward
Puente. He left q revolver and his hat
behind. Other than these things, he left
no clue.
Sheriff Cline dispatched Deputies
Hamilton, Hunter and Cochrane in
search of the fleeing burglar. They
tracked him ss far as Puente, where all
track OF him was lost. Sheriff Cline is
OF the opinion, however, that the would
be murderer will be captured soon.

Long Farms In Maine.

Maine probably has many oddly shap-
ed farms, but we dolbt if one can be
found more peculiar in form than that
in the east part of Dexter. formerly
owred by the pioneer blacksmith Eli
jah u Sprague This was eight rods
wide and half mile lcng, with the
hig.4 ray cutting it at right angles into
unequal portions. The Inconvenience Of
SO narrow farm, with pasturage and
woodland at one end, is obvious to any
one. bat in this form it has continued
from the days of the forefathers to the
present time, in use as farm all the
time. A farm only 20 rods wide and
about half a mile long was in use a
great many years near Pennington Falls
and may be so used yet for all the writ
er knows, but the Dexter farm beats it
by nearly two-thirds for narrowness
and general oddity. Farms Of this shape
are numerous in Canada. a.-Lewiston
