THE FASTEST RUNNER.

A man lately returned from the Maine
woods states that caribou can run
faster than any other animal on legs.
He says: II have friend who owns a
greyhound. and he has always MAIN
tanned that no animal could outrun the
dog--at least, ne has thought so until
lately. when he stood by and saw the
fleet dog run OF his feet by herd OF
caribou that didn't seem 60 be In much
Of "A hurry either
''One day this friend OF mine was brag-
ging about the dog To an old woods
guide. when the latter said that he could
find an animal that would leave the
hound SO far behind he would think ne
was anchored This touched my friend
on a sensitive spot. and n wager Of $40
was made On "A race between the hound
and the first caribou we came across.
Finally the guide succeeded in getting
the dog after some caribou--a herd of
four, found standing like 40 many stat

OF tho big ponds OF the Penobscot West

animals. There had been good fall Of

States Supreme Court had affirmed the

Steel Country rOads.

In view of the widespread discus
sion Of the matter Of good roads and
their Importance, it is interesting to
note that experiments made by the
department Of agriculture and by
the State highway commissioner of
Ohio show that a steel runway for
the wheels of vehicles on country is
not only feasible, but highly econ
omical The matter has passed the
tentive stage, through the expert
ments that have been conducted
since 1897, and it is now estab ished
that such roads are very desirable.
Over such roads a single horse
could draw load that required
eleven horses on an ordinary coun.
try or village road, And the great
saving in drafts is accomplished at
cost not exceeding $4,000 a mile.
and that such a load would call for
less expense in repairs than a mac
adam road.
According to the Birmingham
Age-Herald, there are those who
think that steel roads vii soon sun.
erceed both dirt and stone roads,
alike on the score of economy and
usefulness. The road promises to
work a revolution in rural transpor.
tation almost as great as the steel
tracks for the iron horse have done.
Speed, lessened draft durability and
cheapness are all intheir favor.-Cla.

The Preliminary Trial

The preliminary trial Of Dr. T, H l.
Cook, charged with the killing of RIO.
Tomlinson, which occurred last Thurs
day afternoon in A,tesia. occurred last
Monday at that place before Justices L.
A. Halbert and Joe Prowel The trial
attracted great attention aud the crowd
was unusally large. The defendant WA
represented by Mr.. z, P. Landrum,
White Capt. w. w. Humphries repre-
scented the prosecution. Preceding the
trial Of DR.. Cook, the trial of Renan
Thompson, charged with burglarizing
the store Of Mr.. Crump, was called.
No one appeared against the young man
to press the charge and in the absence
of witnesses and prosecutors, he was
discharged.
The trial of DR.. Cook was begun
about twelve o'clock. The taking of
testimony was promptly begun and at
its conclusion DR.. Cook was admit ed TO
bail in the sum Of $500. From the ties
timony adduced at the examination it
seems DR.. Cook was justifiable in the
killing, 1t was proven that the deceas-
ed had made threats against Cook life,
that he was the aggressor in the diff
Guilty, that he had a knife when the diff
ficulty began and that he was also arm
ed. It developed that after Tomlinsor
was shot he threw his pistol under 6
house nearby and that he subsequently
asked that it be recovered from where
he had thu own it, which was done. Al
the evidence and testimony was in favor
Of the defendant and after considerin.
the case, Dr. Cook was bailed in tn,
above amount by the Justices in charg,
Of the case. The result is practically
an acquittal for him and it is doubtful
if the grand jury will ever take cogni
zance Of it. -Columbus Dispatch.
