entering it was agreed that King
should go into the kitchen on the left
and McNiven into a bed room on the
right. There was no light in the dwell
ing, and the officers had TO feel their
way in the cleaning.
McNiven entered without difficulty,
but had only reached the bed when he
heard a shot fired. He shouted to
King, but received no reply. After an
unsuccessful search Of the apartment
McNiven came to the door and was
told by a rural postman, who was
standing on the roadside, that Mac
Callum had left the house shortly af-
ter the report of the shot. In the kitch-
Ell he found King lying on the floor
with the gun across his feet. With the
assistance of the postman he had him
removed outside. Then they discovered
that King was dead, and the hue and
"ry was raised, but MaCCallum had got
a good start. He had bolted minus his
boots, and later in the evening he vs-
tied a crofter's house and procured a

CURED, and for the next sixty four
hours the wretched outlaw was abroad
in the hills of Strathspey, skulking be-
hind boulders, hiding in caves, shroud-
ing himself among the mists of the
mountains. He was without food with
out shelter, without friends. Even his
dog, which at first followed him, had
deserted him. Sixty men were at one
time engaged in the man hunt. Now
and then rumors would come i'm that
he had been seen, but they proved to
be unfounded
Not until Friday, December 90, did
authentic information of his where

privations and exertions, and was
known TO be unarmed, measures We're

ship which he had undergone, was
brought to Inverness and lodged i'm the

his arrival, and watched the removal

TUNKHANNoCK.

The game of base ball scheduled for
Saturday afternoon between the Key
stone academy team of Factoryville
and the team of the Tunkhannock High
school was pulled off in spite of the
cold weather. The game was closely
contested and resulted in a victory for
keystone after ten innings play by a
score of 7-6 The teams were made up
as follows: Keystone-Snyder, c.. Gay
lord, p.; w. Green, 1b.; Posner, 2b.;
Moredock, S.; Ralph. 3d.; Tiffany, Lf.;
r Green, c.f.; Lutzinger, re. Tunk-

Boyce, CT, and Brown, r.f. Score by
innings
High School ......0 o 20 0 1 1-6

Umpires--Bond and Hending.
The Keystone team included players
from Nicholson, Scranton and various
other places, only one or two being
from the academy, while Tunkhannock
made no effort to pad their team. This
would not be material except for the
fact that Keystone made such a strong
kick last fall on playing foot ball
against the High school because they
had gone outside of their school for
some of their players. 1t is well enough
to be consistent.

was completely destroyed by fire. to-
gether with nearly all the household
goods, including a handsome upright
piano How the fire originated is a mys-
terry, but 1t is supposed TO have been
caused by the bursting Of a lamp. The
insurance does not nearly cover the
loss. Owing to the fact that Saturday
was pay day, the business men were
unable to respond to the call and sew
eral members being out of town, the
boys about the streets were given the
privilege of testing their skill at the
engine. Had it been a dangerous con-
flagration the pandemonium that
reigned would have caused consider
able excitement. This experience ne
cessitates the enrolment of others than
business men in the company, and it

most daring and notorious poacher in
the Highlands. He was born at Loeb
Ericht forty-four years ago, but his
boyhood was spent on the Braes OF
Lochaber, where his father was head
gamekeeper. F.um his hoyhOOd Mac
Callum had a stormy life, frequent con-
flicts taking place between him and the
men under his fathers charge. The end
was that he was sent to the Falkland
islands as a shepherd, but he led a
wild life, and seven years ago returned
and settled down. to his aVocation OF
poacher in the wild mountains and
wooded district known as Mondahlieth.
The clever, agile and daring poacher
outNyitted the closest espionage OF
keepers and police for years. He
knew every mile of the wild district,
and he was the terror of the game
keepers around, and latterly they per-
mitted him to roam pretty much un-
molested. His only companion was his
big dog, and the few people who came
in contact with him regarded him as
insane from the isolated and wild
mountainous life he led.
There is no part in Scotland that
affords the poacher better opportunities
for prosecuting his calling than the
mountainous districts north of the
Grampians, stretching from Banffshire
on the east to Fort William on the
west. MacCallum had studied, too,
where to get the best markets for his
spoil, and many game dealers, both in
England and Scotland, are familiar
with his name
MacCallums commanding figure was
we'll known TO all the countryside.
Standing five feet eleven inches high,
broad shouldered, deep chested, with
powerful arms and legs, a bulldog
type of neck, and a carriage such as
Rob Roy might have envied, he is a
true son of the mountains, if ever
there was one. There is nothing In his
features that suggests crime or vice,
but the eyes are often fierce and full
Of fire. He walks with the slow and
measured gait peculiar to the game
stalker and seems to suspect every
body with whom TiNrctles in contact.
AS he was never married, there is
not much romance of the softer kind
to chronicle about him, but the house
hold of which he was the mainstay
was peculiar one, consisting Of him
self, an old woman known as BLACK
May" and her daughter.
