On Monday Amos Strouse, Of Mccall
mont township, was seriously injured by
limb Of tree falling upon him. His
skull was cracked. He was passing
through the woods on his way home
from Clark, Kiser & Kipp's sawmill
when the limb fell on him. He lay un-
conscious for long time and when he
recovered he managed to walk TO the
railroad track where passing workmen
found him. He was conveyed to his
home and is lying in precarious con-
dition.-Punxsutawney Ne,cs.
The above is a sample Of how some
people lie to newspaper men. While
Mr.. Strouse was working in the woods

Lucky Runaway.

A young horse owned by Thos.
Taper, the liveryman, raised some
excitement for few minutes Saturday
forenoon by running down Main street
at reckless speed with new buggy
attached to it, Several unsuccessful
attempts were made to stop the animal.
When the horse turned in of Main
street to Tappcrs stable its front feet
slipped from under 1t and the horse fell
and slid down the small embankment
without doing injury to itself or damag-
ing the buggy. What the result would
have been had the horse not fallen can
only be conjectured. An employee OF
the livery stable had the horse out
driving it for exercise and in making a
turn ON East Main street the driver
was thrown out OF the buggy and the
horse ran to the barn.
1t is a very unwise act to try to stop a
runaway horse by throwing hat in
front OF it, as was done Saturday morn
ing, and is often done under similar
circumstances.

The End.l


Perhaps the most interesting fact about
the building of NORWOOD Scrubs prison
is that the plans for its construction were
drawn out by a convict in his cell while
undergoing the probationary nine months
TO a long term Of Imprisonment
The man was originally an architect
and among the foremost Of his profess
sion. He was a gentleman by birth and
education, but in early life began to abuse
his natural gifts, and at the time was
undergoing his second term of imprison-
ment for forgery The completion of the
work occupied him for nearly six months
and was effected under great disadvan-
tages. In place of a table, for instance
his cell, moving II round with the sun
in order TO obtain the best light.
The prison authorities consider this
marvellous specimen Of architectural
drawing the finest piece of work ever
done by an English convict. 1t measures
in size feet inches by feet inches
being drawn to the scale Of a hundredth
part of an inch.
The convict displayed the greatest in
terest and pride in the erection and COM
pletion Of the prison, which was built en-
tirely by convict labor. 1t contains 1,3Sl
separate cells for prisoners, which cost
on an average 40 70s each, besides hos
pital wards and a chapel
The total number Of bricks required
was g. 5000 each one being made BY the
convicts on the premises or on some ad-
joining land leased for the purpose. The
iron castings We're obtained from Port
land, or Chatham prison, the granite from
Dartmoor, and the Portland stone from
Portland. The total cost OF the prison
was more than $4,000.
