that is very unusual. The rain

of the desert, and nothing grows
without irrigation. Until the last
few days we had no rain since
last April. We had no extreme
heat during the summer, but last
week we had two days of what
are known as desert winds. The

SHOT HIS FRIEND.

From Valley Spirit
AS the result of an accident
which occurred Wednesday while
on a hunting expedition Eli Beard
is lying at his home in Warren
township in precarious condi-
tion. He is suffering from gun
shot wound in his chest, few
inches below the pit of the right
arm. The shot that may cause
Mr.. Boards death was fired by
Asbury Pine, a personal friend.
The two men were hunting in
the mountain, near the Little
Cove, when the tragedy occurred.
Both were ignorant of the others
presence. They could not see
each other owing to the thick
growth of underbrush. 1t was
about 3 O'Clock when they almost
simultaneously located flock of
wild turkeys. AS is customary
both hunters began. calling in a
shrill tone. Their calls resembled
the whistle of the turkeys so
closely that they both started to
walk stealthy in the direction from
whence the sounds had come.
Still hidden in the underbrush
Mr.. Pine leveled his gun, listen
ed closely and fired in the direc-
tion of the sound. Scarcely had
the echo of the gun resounded
through the mountain than a
voice called out, 81 am shot. u
The dead leaves on the ground
then rustled as though something
had fallen and all was quiet.
In a moment Mr. Pine was
standing by the side of the wound
ed man who proved to be Ell
Beard, an old friend. Blood was
oo1ing through rent IN his coat
under the right arm and his face
was ashen pale.
Almost distracted with fright
Mr.. Pine hurriedly obtained as
sistance and the injured hunter
was removed to his home. DR..
Bruce E. Nevin, Mercersburg,
was summoned, and after prob
ing located the bullet and success
fully extracted it. The shotpass
ed through Mr.. Boards right
arm and entered his chest. II
struck a rib and lodged in the
muscles of the back. Mr.. Bearo
is 55 years of age and a respected
citizen of that vicinity. Mr.. Pine
is about 35 years old and is thor
oughly unnerved over the sad af
fair. Strong hopes are enter
tanned for the unfortunate man.

HOOfhng Ii Across the Continent.
On last Sunday afternoon three
sprightly youngpedestriansp pass
ed throughout town with a quick
elastic step, without looking to
the right or left, but when they
reached the stone bridge at the
west end of town they called a
halt, and soon quite crowd col
lected to see the strangers.
They were Mr.. Charles P. Earle
and wife, and his brother Ralph
l.. Earl, of Boston, Mass. The
older brother is 81 years of age
and the younger %, while Mrs.
Earle is only %. Mrs. Earle was
dressed in navy blue Eaton Jack
ct and short walking skirt, high
laced shoes and wore a nobby
blue cap; the men were tastefully
dressed and wore caps like the
lady's and each carried walking
stick, they had no baggage, as
that was shipped to Cleveland,
Ohio. They are all under me-
dium height and weight-the
heaviest not over 130 pounds.
They left Boston on Monday
morning, October 9TH, to walk to
San Francisco, California and re-
turn in 18 months, on wager be-
tween two Boston bankers. They
came by way of Providence, r.
l., Willimantic and Danbury,
Conn.,, New York and Philadel-
phia. After leaving Philadelphia
they were advised to pass
through Maryland, but they soon
found that the Marylanders were
too inhospitable, as they were to
make the entire trip by "bum-
ming" it so they returned to this
State and came by way of York,
Gettysburg and Chambersburg.
They say they were royalty en-
tertained on Saturday night at
the National Hotel, at st. Thomas,
and had nothing to eat for dinner
on Sunday except apples. From
this place they will keep the turn
pike to Pittsburg and go via
Cleveland, Chicago, and Omaha.
1t is their purpose to follow the
Union Pacific r. r. and take ad
vantage of the snow sheds over
the Rocky mountains. They
want to reach San Francisco by
the first of next April, and will
return through the Southern
States. Mrs. Earle is the frs
female who ever undertook a triI
across the continent on foot, anC
Nelly BLY, style she will write VI
the trip for some magazine
while her husband, who is cor
respondent of the Boston Post
is writing it up for that paper
They have averaged % miles pei
day and are now ahead of time
Unless the winter interferes will
their trip across the Rocky
mountains they feel that they
will return to Boston a couple o
months ahead of time.

Railroad Company Expected to Award Soon Remaining Improvement Con-
 tracts
 The N. Y. N. H. & H. Railroad
 company has under consideration at it's New Haven offices, four bids for the construction of the piling and ma sorry which is to form the foundation of the steel elevated superstructure from a point just north of the eastern terminus of South avenue, northerly to the passenger station; and for the con- struction of viaduct similar to that in the southern part of the city, begin ming at Noble avenue. This work will form one contract, and will be one of the most important parts of the entire railroad improvement.
 One June 10 the bids were submitted, invitations for them having been is- sued to four well known contracting concerns, month previous. It was expected that the bids would be award ed last week, but for reasons known only to the company no decision has yet been announced. The name of the successful bidder is likely to be an nounced any day, as the railroad com pany has manifested its intention of getting the work performed as quickly as possible.
 In anticipation of having to abandon its wharf just south of, the western ap- proach to the lower bridge, the Bridge port Steamboat company has caused to be constructed diagonally opposite the foot of South avenue, a new freight and passenger shed. When the time comes for the abandonment of the Rosedale wharf, the steamer Rosedale will land it's passengers and freight at the South avenue wharf. Other vessels which land freight at the wharves on the west side of the harbor have made provis- ions to land in other places, when the work is begun upon this contract. There is likelihood of the building on Lyon street, opposite the railroad sta- ton, being torn down soon.
 The destruction of this building, which is an old landmark, will have the effect of causing the New York and Eastern News company R. B. Stiles, furniture manufacturer; c. J. Hughes, marble cutter, and A. l.. Ide, painter, to seek quarters elseWhere.-Bridgepo Standard,
