Phiscater, of this city who went to
Klondyke, Alaska, last winter has
Just returned with $50 900 in gold. Phis-

winter. He dug a hole in the ground
large enough to hold himself and
provisions. After many weeks OF
searching he one day came upon
little stream which flowed down the
side of a mountain and emptied into q
basin. The water was clear, and In
peering down its shallow depths he
discovered gold. He picked all his
metal out of the ice cold water.

began flying about and clucking excit-

That very afternoon a bright plan

that the post was an excellent place to

Hit by Their Own Game.

Game killed in full flight has a mo-
mentum that carries it a long way
sometimes. Several instances are re-
corder where birds have hit the sports
man. In one case George Monners was
shooting in the woods Of Long Island
when a grouse, driven by beaters. came
flying along fast and high up. He shot
at it and then, with the other barrel,
fired at another bird. Just as he was
about lowering his gun. after the sec
ond shot, he received a blow on the
grouse first hit had tumbled agains.
his head
That same afternoon q wheelman,
riding along near the line of hunters,
admiring the scenery, did not observe
a big black cock till its feathers brush
ed his head. The black cock had been
killed and had nearly hit him in falling.
The Badminton volume on shooting
tells how the late Charles Leslie was
Knocked out at the battery by a grouse
he had shot. A strong hat probably
saved him from serious injury.
American hunters have had similar
experience. A man was riding along
in a wagon some time ago, according to
Forest and Stream, when something hit
him on the head with enough force to
make him dizzy. An unwounded part
ridge flying through the woods hit him
fair. Why the bird did not turn aside
Is as much a mystery as the fact that
the partridges sometimes fly agains,
house sides and are killed in so doing
