The other man was rendered insensible
by wound in the temple, and the
birds, which had become infuriated
continued their onslaught on both SC
fiercely that James was unable to help
his comrade. The latter received
wounds which caused his death.
Shielding himself as best he could
under log beside which he had fallen,
James opened fire on the birds with bis
Winchester, and kept it up as long as
be had cartridges; but it tappeared to do
no good, although several Of them were
killed. Darkness coming on, he crept
off into the dense brush, but not until
one of the birds had given him blow
with its beak that ruined one eye.
The next mornig he reached one OF
the surveying camps Of the Farmers
Railway, and with William Hines, a
brother of the now famous farmer
Hines, returned to the rookery. They
shot several of the cranes and retired
carrying home with them one bird
which stood seven feet four inches in
height and measured eight feet across
It's extended wings. Two others near
ly as large were shot. The intrusion OF
the two men excited the cranes very
much, but as it was daylight and both
men were shooting they kept at dis
tance.

If it required an annual outlay OF
$1,000 to insure family against any
serious consequences from an attack OF
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to pay it; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those OF their fami-
ly for such an amount. Any one can
get this insurance for 25 cents, that be-
ing the price of bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. In almost every neighbor-
hood some one has died from an attack
of bowel complaint before medicine
could be procured or physician sum
moned. One or two doses OF this
remedy will cure any ordinary case.
1t never fails. Can you afford to take
the risk for so small an amount? For
sale by L. Stabler & Co., druggists.

KILLED BY BLUE CRANES.

A dispatch from Minneapolis says: In
the heart of the country just opened by
the settlement of the Red Lake reser-
vation in northwestern Minnesota there
are interminable swamps and muskegs,
as the Indians call them, which are
masses of tangled forest and low
swamps of cedar and tamarac woods,
almost impenetrable. In these forests
are the haunts of myrisds of wild crea-
lures. Moose and caribou roam the
woods, and their paths, often worn to
the depth of foot or more along the
edges of the wet lands and surround
ing the lakes, are frequently met with.
The red deer is to be seen at any time.
Wolves are naturally numerous where
the deer are to be found, and the black
bear is to be found in every blueberry
patch or plum thicket. The smaller
game animals are ss plentiful as the
larger, and there are no finer places in
America for the fisherman than the
lakes and streams that abound in all
the region.
The few men who stumble into that
wilderness come out with queer tales
of their experiences and of the scenes
they have witnessed there. Not
the least strange of these was the
experience of Black Duck settler.
Harry James by name, who attempted
to cross the wilderness last week on
his way from his home to the settle
ments on the west of the timber coun-
try in the Red River Valley. He was
with companion. and they were at
tackled by blue cranes. One of the
two men was killed and the other
barely escaped with his life, and will
probably be blind in at least one eye
for the rest of his life.
A few miles south of Black Duck
Lake is rookery of blue cranes cover
| ing several square miles. 1t is said to
be the largest of its kind in America.
| The birds congregste in this rookery
every year in vast numbers, and are
! Just at this time Matching their eggs
and rearing their young. The rookery
is in a spruce swamp, and is almost in
| accessible on account of the lakes and
painless woods that surround it. A
more dismal place would be hard to
find.
The two men were not acquainted
with the woods, and, though old hunt
ers and pioneers, they were soon tan
gled in the wilderness of swamp and
forest near the edge of the rookery
about nightfall. Making their way by
the compass they were attracted by
the yelping of their dog, a fine hound, !,
that was ranging q few rods ahead of
them. The dog was evidently attract
ed by some creature that was making
it exceedingly disagreeable and serious
for him, and they fastened to his re-
lief At once the air seemed to be alive
with cranes, and the dog came howl,
ing and stumbling to them, covered
with blood and half blind, and followed
by the birds. When the birds spied the
men they turned their attention from
the dog and attacked them. Both were
struck by the beaks of the birds, and
James was knocked down, with several
wounds in his head, face, and neck.
