Al THOMPSON of TOgus. returned.
Monday morning. from Bingham. where
he has been hunting for about two
weeks. bringing with him two large
buck deer. one of which Mr.. Thompson
thinks is about the largest that has
been brought into the city. this season.
Mr. Thompson reports fierce struggle
with this animal. He says that where
he shot the deer the ground slOped con-
siderably and that he put seven bullets
into him and that he fell, rolling a
number of feet down the slope. Mr..
Thompson. thinking the deer was prat-
tically dead. drew his knife and went
where he was with the intentions of
bleeding him. When close upon the
animal the latter rose up on his for
ward legs and struck and used his
horns ferooiously MFR. Thompson was
very roughly used in spite Of the ami
mars wounded condition and had it not
been for the bullet wounds i'm the hind
quarters he might not have escaped
with his life Mr.. Thompson and the
deer struggled hard both rolling down
the slope number of feet. hut finally
the weakened condition of the animal
began to tell and Mr.. Thompson sue
ceeded in getting a grip on the horns
and, holding him at distance with the
LETT hand. thrust the knife to the OBJ
jective point with the right. Mr.
Thompson had his clothing consider
ably torn in the encounter and received
some bad bruises, which he is still
carrying.

HELD UP BY A DOG

A mad dog held nearly LOGO people inside of Trinity Lutheran church this morning for some time after services were dismissed, and for while there was excitement of an unusual kind. Whence came the dog, a black cur of the ownerless type, is not known. Just as services were dismissed and Miss Anna Miller stepped outside the dog sprang at her. She retreated, defend ing herself with a parasol, and the ca nine, frothing at the mouth, then chas- ed a young man who had ventured out, into house next door. No'one dared leave the church. but Rev O. B. Keller, the pastor, discovering what was wrong, went from 8 back door across the lots to bring a shotgun from his home.
 Just as he returned with the weapon, however, Austin Brown, who had pro- cured a rifle at nearer house, shot the dag while the animal stood on the church steps At the same moment the patrol wagon with a squad of po- licemen arrived. So far as known the dog bit no Cleveland Plain Deal CT

WHAT'S IN A KISSr

Simple Little Thing, Yet Here's Few
 Tl.at Proved Fatal.
 Often ssfatal Kisses are not mere figures of speech In ,nany T case they have literally been the cause of not only one death, but a succession of deaths.
 Perhaps the most fatal kiss ever known was that given by a young Spanish sailor to his fiancee nine years ago, for it brought about the decima- ton of a town. A Spanish vessel put into the little seaport of Candalo, on the coast of Florida, flying the yellow flag, and was accordingly ordered to remain in quarantine. for more than one member of the crew exhibited symptoms of bubonic plague.
 But the sailor disobeyed orders and put off in a boat for the shore one evening, where, having sought out his fiancee. whom he had not seen for some years. he kissed her. A few days later the effects of the kiss be- came painfully evident, though the culprit returned to his ship by stealth the same night. The girl succumbed to the plague, which spread through the town so rapidly that more than POO persons died out of a total popula- tion of 1.50O.
 Kisses once cost the lives of many brave soldiers in the British army. The beautiful Duchess of Gordon in 1794 raised the famous Gordon High flanders by giving 1000 recruits a kiss and a golden guinea apiece. The regi- ment was raised to it's full strength in 8 few days
 The men were then sent out against the French. and in the very first bat tie in which they took part more than 200 fell. either killed or wounded.
 Previous to this, in 171S, a war was brought about by thoughtless kiss on the part of young Bayarian prince of somewhat reckless character, named Ferdinand. During visit to a neigh boring state he inadvertently kissed beautiful member of the royal house hold, Princess Thyra, ignorant of the fact that she was already affianced. Her betrothed happened to be standing near and witnessed the incident.
 High words ensued, followed by blows. and a duel was arranged which led to the discontinuance of diplomat ic relations between the two nations. A war broke out ultimately and result ed in thousands of deaths before there was declaration of peace.

ALONE

Above the5s world, supreme, apart,
 alone, The evening star moves proudly on
 it's way Across a west where lesser stars have shown, Like Gods white seal upon a fin
 ished day; And through the heart of dusk it's
 steadfast gIeam Points like a silver arrow wrought
 of light. Until at last, still one and still su- preme. It meets the dark .forgetfulness of
 night. An, l would be a lesser star, think, Amidst the great white legion of the
 sky, Than gleam alone that single shining
 link Between the glooming and the night,
 on high For, after all, Fate marks common
 goal, And though but One is poised to
 shine afar, pity much the proud and lonely soul Whom God has made into an evening
