Farmer Haywood wouldn't have taken
$3.50 for. The fox had been around,
though, for the best Plymouth Rock
rooster the farmer had was gone.
$50 Farmer Haywood said he would
lie for that fox with the old gun that
night, but along in the afternoon |
asked the farmer if couldn't take the
gun and go over to the back meadow
and shoot a grounding that was max
ing away with the clover crop.
"'You kin take the gum said he,
and you kin go over to the back med
der, but dunno whether you kin shoot
the grounding or not
81 took the gun and went. l got
good easy shot at the ground hog and
hlazed away. The gun busted into
dozen pieces. One piece thumped
calf that was standing near, and made
veal of it instantly.
"'Why, tarnation take it all! said
Farmer Haywood, when he heard
about it, L carried that gun from Bull
Run to the end O. the war and I've
shot bushels O. squirrels with it sence,
and it never busted before.
my time was up day or so after
that, and l had to leave Farmer Hay
woods, and 1 was sorry. There wasn't
any great demonstration by the folks
at the farm over my going, but didn't
think anything of that, of course, and
having made up my mind to quarter
myself at the farm again this summer,
and being up in that vicinity last week,
thought l would drive down and
make my arrangements with the farm
er for my prospective stay.
81 was within mile or so of the
farm when I came to big black hog
lying in the sun at the edge OF the
road. He grunted lazily as my horse
PASSED along by him, and his indolent
content was so aggravating that l hit
him cut with my whip.
"The hog jumped up, and with a
series of loud snorts went galloping
down the road ahead of me. His ap-
pearance was formidable, and it was
rot strange that a horse, drawing a
spring wagon with man bumped up
or the seat and coming from the other
direction, became frightened at the
noisy beast. The horse reared up,
and turned square around in the road,
upsetting the wagon and it's contents
in the ditch, and then ran down the
road at the top Of it's speed.
81 refined up, jumped out of my
wagon, and ran forward to see how
the driver of the runaway horse had
Jared. He rose from the wreck of the
wagon, feeling of his head, and with
yellow streaks of something running
down his clothes. AS l drew near him

mediately began to recollect.

sort of thing been going on ever
since?'

bull kept right on, concluded not to

Owing to the notices on the trees

after a quarter of an hour or so,
though, his yelling was heard by
Farmer Haywood's son Jim, who was
on his way to a back lot, and Jim
went to the aid of the freed fisherman.
The attention of the bull was no soon
er drawn from the fisherman by the
approach of the farmers son than the
fisherman dropped down out of the
tree and made tracks for more peace
full territory, without waiting to be
identified by the farmers son or to
give thanks to him for his rescue.
'The farmers son, with the inten-
ton of overhauling the trespasser and
marking him for future reference as
an exhibit in a lawsuit, started on a
run after him. The bull undoubtedly
mad at Jim for spelling it's fun, pur-
sued the farmers son.

road. Jim would have overtaken him.

act of swinging himself over the fence

against Jim just below where his hind

Great Suffering in New York.

New York, Jan. 13.-With the pros
pect Of the coolest night of the year to
date, according to Local Forecaster
Emery. and the inability to obtain
fuel. except at prohibitive prices. the
suffering of the poor of New York
must be greatly increased during the
next twenty-four hours.
Charitable organizations are unable
to buy coal at any price and other
fuels have greatly advanced in price
including kerosene. The suffering Is
not confined to the very poor who are
usually provided for by the charitable
organizations but people ordinarily
able to provide themselves with coal
must 20 without II.
The cold wave promises to be excep-
tionally severe and of long duration.
It is by no means local and conditions
indicate that it will continue several
days.
The suffering of the poor has been
increased tremendously. The cheap
eIt at which they can now buy coal,
except the very limited amounts on
sale by the Salvation Army is two
pailfuls for 25 cents. Nevertheless
long lines of men. women and chill
dren stood patiently all day at the va
rious places where coal may be OBJ
tained by the pail.

fourth class from Concord. New Hamp-
shire, and Francis G. Blasdel of New
York, the former is in the hospital
with broken jaw and Blasdel is

Denver. Jan. 13.-Supervisor G. NJ.
Lindquist Is about to file suit in the
District Court against the Denver I'm
ion Water Company for $500 dam
ages. Llndquist was one of the com
nittee sent last summer by the City
Council to investigate the sources OF
the water company's supply. It WAS
during the drive from Buffalo to Lake
Cheesman that the runaway occurred
in which Andy Kelly was killed and
Lindquist lost his foot. For some time
Alderman Lindquist was not expected
to live. and when he recovered his leg
wac amputated.
The grounds upon which the suit is
to be based are unique. Lindquist will
assert that the water company hired
the conveyance for the party and that
1t did not exercise proper care. When
asked about the suit last night. Mr..
Lindquist said:
"Ys. l intend to bring suit against
the water company. l have three at
torneys who arc attending to the case

the charges will be. We are now at
work gathering the evidence complet-
