The extension of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie railroad along the river
front in Martins Ferry, to the big mills
OF the Aetna Standard Iron & Steel Co..
Is an assured fact. An important con-
tract was let on Monday. This is for
the grading. filling and other work for
the road bed from the Wheeling g. Lake
Erie tracks In the upper end of Mar
tins Ferry down to the Martins Ferry
blast furnace.
Thomas j. Stringer, the well known
contractor OF Portland. gets this con-
tract and will begin work on the ex-
tension as quickly as possible. The tinai
surveys are being made by the Wheel
Ing & Lake Erie engineers who have
been at work some days, and there Is
sufficient work TO keep them busy for
some time and II is understood that 1t Is
the Intention OF the company to build
the much talked OF extension as fast as
the work can be done.
The FIRST contract for the road to the
Martins Ferry blast furnace. is for
work only, the company furnishing eY-
company will furnish the lumber and
90 the work OF putting up the pillng. 1t
Is thought that the company Will let the
contract for the remainder OF the work
by the early part OF August.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie secured
the right OF way from the city OF Mar
tins Ferry many months ago and the
limit would have soon expired but by
commencing the work now can hold the
old right OF way. Considerable prop

along the river front, including the old
warehouse at the ferry landing, the
three brick houses between this and the
Beaumont Glass Works. and the road
will run through the four buildings

I'd will nearly all be used, The line Will
be ON the east side OF the Cleveland, Lo-

Time VIII probably prove that the
Aetna-s STANDARD will not be the lower
terminus of the extension, but that the
line will run further down and possibly
to Bellalre in order that some OF the
business can be secured there and at

Bellalre bridge for another entrance to
Wheeling and Benwood and other
points east and along the Ohio river.
Nothing positive is known as TO the
Intentions Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie

the prisoner if he could show cause
why sentence should not be passed on
him. Caws enough he had, poor fell
low, but the formula was unmeaning,
as in many a higher tribunal; his case
was prejudiced; and without waiting
for a reply he was ordered to be
drummed out OF the ranks, banished,
outlawed-que sais-je? The sentence
was received with reclamation. There
was a universal clamor and uprising
into the air. l looked round for the
victim; he was running the crow-or-
deal for life. He rose, was pecked at
by a number Of his fellows, struggled
fercely and got off, only to be pursued
by others, who hurled him down with
beak and claw. Then on his back,
grimly facing his assailants, he fought
desperately for bare life. Once again
he was successful, and this time as he
rose in the air with a rapid wing he dis
tanced his pursuers and was soon lost
to view. What his ultimate fate was I
do not know. But the whole affair in
terested me greatly. What possible
crime could he have committed, the
miserable wretch who had sinned
against the unwritten code Of crow
law, such a code as only IN opium eater
could conceive of in his widest mag
inings or a colony of escaped convicts
enact in a new settlement.

POT-HUNTER'S MEANNESS.
Killed a Doe and Left tho Poor Little
Fawn MOtherless.

Fawn Motherless.
A young man with a pet faWn trot-
ting behind him attracted attention on.
a recent afternoon on the White House
road in Portland, says the Portland
Telegram. The little creature was per-
fectly tame and on the approach OF a
team would timidly rui to the boys
side, as though seeking protection. To
a ~well-known insurance man, who was
on the road driving with his wife, the
lad had told the story of his acqulsl-
ton Of the fawn.
Some weeks ago the boy was hshlng
on the Tualatin river. Fish were plen-
tiful, and, engrossed in the sport, the
lad kept his eyes on the ripple, taking
no cognizance of what was going on
behind him. A bleating sound from
the bank above him he paid no atten-
ton to, thinking it was some stray
lamb. The bleating was repeated a
number of times, but the boy was fish
ing and the trout were rising freely.
Then came a patter Of tiny hoots dow
the river bank and a little cold S
was pushed in his hand. ookln
down, the boy found the fawn standing
beside him, apparently without fear,
the pleading look in it's big brown eyes
asking help. It's neck and one side OF
the head was covered with blood, still
wet, it's limbs barely supporting its
frail body. The boys first thought
was that the waif had been wounded
and in attempting to reach water had
| come out on the river bank at the
point of location being the runway, at
through sheer weakness, being unable
to go further, had tumbled down to the
stream, landing by his side. Picking
the little thing up in his arms, the lad
waded out on the ripple and, Washing
the blood from the faWn's neck, found
it uninjured. Some p%ot-hunter had
| shot the mother doe and, with her
| dying strength, she had plunged back
through the timber to reach the BABY
deer, born but a few days before. The
fawn had evidently become alarmed
and started to find the buck, it's one
point of location being the runaway, at
the river, where, during it's few days OF
life, the two had nightly come to drink.
The boy, who gave his lame as Frank
Harrison, took the fawn to his home,
where there was a baby brother and a
nursing-bottle, and, together Mrs. Har-
rison is bringing up her own baby and
the orphaned deer. 1t was less than
an hour before the fawn had accus-
toned itself to the new surroundings
and was perfectly at home. 1t at once
attached itself to the boy, Frank, seem
ing to look on the lad as it's natural
protector and now wherever the lad
goes the fawn is sure to follow.
