Bold Mink and a School
Teacher Have Battle in
Chicken Coop.
ASSASSIN ESCAPED UNFRAMED
AND is STILL AT LARGE.
Long Trip Through the Darkness
After Trap Had a Sad
Ending.

Let an American schoolmam
and on 'intelligentAmerican mink
get into a dispute, with a flock OF
plump, juicy spring chickens as
the bone Of conteil tioli, and there
is bound to be something inter
esting doing. The result of such
.mix-up is a free and happy
mink, several dead chickens and
an indignant schoolm am. An
actual experiment at Grant VAL
ley the other day proved this to
be a fact and now the wondering
admiration in the teachers eye
when the small boy tells how he
trapped a mink on Grant creek
last winter leads him to retell
the tale next day with several
embellishments, and a fancy
fringe around the edge.
Miss Alice Mills is the teacher
in the case She teaches the
/ Grant Valley school and boards
/ at the home Of the Misses Pen
dergast, situated far from a
neighbor and near patch of
woods. The two Pendergast
sisters own, or owned, a fine
I flock Of chickens, their particular
pride and JOY. One night last
week a mink got into the coop
and killed some of the teathered
beauties. The same thing oc-
cured the next night, and the
& night following. The little ras-
\ cal was not content with a fowl a
night; four or five We're more to
his taste.
The nightly visits continued.
\ Each morning showed the ranks
! of the old ROSTERS harem sadly
\ depleted. Something must and
h should be done, said the teacher
/ of the young idea. There was no
man about the premises, but
|, there was a gun, a neat little
rifle, and this, said Miss Mills,
should figure in the final account
L ing. Her plan was to catch the
assassin in his nightly crime and
I deal Justice to him on the spot.
That night at 1890 o'clock the
|. usual commotion in the back
yard found the three ladies at
the chicken coop door, one carry
z ing the gun, one a lantern and
the other a broom. Cautiously
the door was pushed open and
the lantern thrust forward. The
/ chickens on the perches stirred,
clucked uneasily and blinked at
the light, In a distant corner a
1.-THE, furry little animal crouched
over a heap of feathers.
With actions quite distantly re-
lated to a sportman's grace, the
elder Miss Pendergast took care
full aim. The gun went off and
50 did the mink, winking slyly at
the tiny round hole a foot above
his head as he lodged through a
crack in the wall
Disappointed, the three re-
turned to the house, confident
that the miscreant would remain
away for that night, at least. But
their victory was short lived.
Hardly had they crept into bed
and fallen asleep when they were
awakened by a mighty cackling.
Again the enemy was charged.
They had lost faith in the gun Gt
/ didn t shoot straightD and it was
left behind.

Consul at Beyrout had been murder

the Consul was not murdered at all
but that he may or may not have
been shot at by an unknown assail-

Accident on the 3. & 3. Disappointed
Sunday Travellers.
There were some forty or fifty dis
appointed exeursionists in Brunswick
Sunday, as a result of an unfortunate
mishap on the b. & B.
The first cheap excursion of the
season was scheduled to go to Jackson
vile over that line, and quite large
number were on the train. For some
reason or other, it seems that the en-
gine went on a strike and refused to
get up enough steam, and therefore
the train arrived at Thalmann about an
hour late, and the Seaboard Air Line
did not wait
There was nothing to do but to re
turn, and the eXcursionists were very
much disappointed.
The B. & B. of course regret the
occurrence as much, if not more than
any of the eXcursionists, but it was
just one of those mishaps that will
happen.
However, the excursions will be on
all during the summe rmonths, and
an accident of the kind will hardly
happen again.

MINISTER'S AND LAWYERS MET
IN JOINT DISCUSSION
LAST NIGHT
THE AFFIRMATIVE SIDE WON
Large Crowd Was Present and Fully
Enjoyed the Observation-Disclosures
Finally Decided in. Favor
the Ministers.

The meeting of the New Town De-
batting Society last night proved to be
one of the most interesting in the
history of this young and popular or
ganization.
The announcement that the lawyers
and ministers would meet in a de-
bate attracted much attention, and
the Sunday school room was hardly
large enough to accommodate the
crowd that attended
The subject handled by the debat-
ors was, Resolved, That Environment
Has More to Do With Character Than
Heredity." The lawyers took the af-
firmative side OF the question and were
represented by Col. c F. Goodyear,
Max Isaac and E. W. Dart. The mega
tive side was Rev. Wyllys Rede, Rev.
c. G. Bradley and Major Dart The re-
spective sides handled their subject
in great fashion and it was quite diff
ficult for the judges TO decide the Win
Iners, and after discussion, decision
was rendered in favor of the mega
tive.
Next Monday night will be devoted
to the discussion of early American
history. This will be the second time
this subject has been handled by the
club, and those who were present
when it was discussed before are look
ing forward to the coming meeting
with cows siderable apl assss.ss.
The society continues to grow, both
in popularity and membership.
