sidered the leading witness in the Fair

The body of Mr.. Fair was already
rigid, indicating that the former died

woman who was murdered near the
scene of the accident. Her wounds
which were in the head were almost
identical with those of Mrs. Fair, the
victim living many hours.
The witness further testified that
while he was unable to swear positive
ly whether Mr.. Fair or Mrs Fair
died first. yet his positive opinion was
that Mrs. Fair must have survived her
husband.

ed "escour." an official of the local
mayors office near the scene Of the
accident saying that the porter's wife
who found the bodies told him she saw
Mrs. Fairs head move after Mr. Fair
was dead.

BIG BATTLE WITH
GIANT LOBSTER
Monster Shellfsh Almost
Chokes Fishermen to
Death.

PORTLAND, Me, Jan. 2O.-Charles
McVane, of Long Island, four miles
from this city in Casco bay, has had
many queer experiences while fishing
in these waters, but recently he met
with the most peculiar adventure he
has yet encountered. q midnight battle
with a giant lobster.
Mr.. McVane, after fishing all day
with Indifferent luck, loosened the sail
of his sixteen-foot dory and came bowl
ing in from the cod lodges.
AS he neared Ram island, barren
strip of land with bold rocky shores,
he spied large flock of sea ducks in
one of the tiny coves that run up into
the shores. He is an enthusiastic
sportsman and seldom starts out with
out his gun.
The sight of the ducks had aroused
his sporting instincts and made him
forget the cheerful fireplace of his
own cottage. SO ardent did he pursue
the game that he was caught in the
chill gloom of an April night almost
before he knew it. The wind, too, was
rapidly developing into a gale.
With glance at sea and sky, and
not even stopping to pick up the last
duck he had shot, he turned his boats
bow towards the island, and beached
her well up on a narrow strip Of sand
on the lee shore.
With a knowledge born of MANY
similar experiences, he turned his dory
upside down, and with the aid of the
sail and oilskins made himself rest
ing place for the night
