JUDGMENT FOR
 BIRD DOG KILLED.
Doctor Toler of Swifton Secures Verdict From Jury for Dam-
 ages in Loss of Canine.

That trained bird dogs have a money value as much as horses and cattle was established in the circuit court Monday when the only jury case of the morning session was a suit instituted by Doctor T. w. Toler of Swifton for $35 damages against the Iron Mountain, alleged to be due him as the result of a freight train striking and injuring his fancy setter so that the trained canine had to be shot.
 The plaintiff had a number of witnesses to establish the fact that the engineer gave the dog no warning and as to his value as a hunter. His attorneys were Hillhouse and Erwin, while s. D. Campbell represented the rail- road company.
 The jury was out only a few minutes and returned a verdict awarding the full damages asked by plaintiff.

 TELLURIDE, Colo, Dec. 1.-Both mine owners and union miners are re- joicing over the action of the District Miners association, in session at Ou- ray, ending the strike in this district, which was called Sept. i, 1903. Presi- dent Charles H. Mover of the Western Federation of Miners has made the fol- lowing statement concerning the ac- tion of the Miners association, which was taken in accordance with his ad- vice:
 we have called the strike off be. cause we take the position that the is- sues involved have been conceded by the mine owners and operators in the Telluride district in that they recently posted notices to the effect that after Dec. they would grant an eight hour workday both for their mills and smell ter and minimum wage of s. These were the demands we made over one year ago.

HARVARD 's3YSTEn"
 ROASTED BY DEAN

Cambridge, Mass, Dec 1.--Dudley Dean, Haryard's famous old quarter. back. in an article to be published in the Harvard Monthly, rakes Harvard's S football system" over the coals and fiatly contradicts all statements con. cerning favoritfsm and society infiD, ence at Harvard.
 Such accusations" says Dean. 'are absolute and malicious lies. There win always be in a body of men at Har- ward university some who are dis gruntled, but if these disgruntled spirits ever bring proof to representa- tive Harvard graduates of athletic fa- voritism, either from society reasons or otherwise, very short rope will bring the party responsible to a point where he will be staked out for gooo and where the pasturage will not be over-nutritious. z
 Deans opinion as to the reason for Harvard's repeated failures is a lack of a strong leader, lack of responsihil. -fty among the coaches, lack of disci- pline, lack of systematiZation and lack of cooperation between the head coach, trainer and head medical ao, wiser. resulting Mn too frequent in juries.
 Let HarYard's football manage ment be unafraid of hurting some ones feelings Dean says. Again he states that a football eleven cannot be developed by placing men for a week at time on the bench. Common sense should be used, he claims, in conducting the daily practice so that all shall get show and none be worked too hard.
 Tn conclusion Dean reminds his readers of the saying Of an old Har, yard man, who as first substitute lin gered so many weary days on the bench, that he wished the manage, uniform so tIat it would be of more service and comfort in a sitting ca pacity."

A NEGRO HuoeER.
KenmetG Square, Pa, Excited by a
 Too Vigorous DaFIky.

Kennet1 Square, Pa.s Excited by a
 Too Vigorous DaPky.
 KENNETT SQUARE, Pa, Dec. 1.- This quiet. decorous Quaker settlement was stirred to it's depth when two of it's prominent young women, Miss Ethel Weaver and Miss Lulu Miley, were attacked on the street, vigorous ly hu~ged and kissed and then, whom he was frightened by their startled cries, released by their assailant, who fled and escaped.
 The man, the young women declare, is a negro. They were walking along Central street after sunset when they noticed that a negro was following them. When they reached compara- lively isolated spot and glanced around apprehensively they discovered that the man was close to them.
 They started to run, but before they had taken many steps he had over taken them, and, grasping each by a sleeve, he slipped his arms to their waists and, despite their violent strug- gles and cries for help, held them, hug ged both simultaneously and kissed them alternately.
 The young women redoubled theft cries and scratched the mans face so vigorously that he finally released them and fled.
 The girls hurried home and told of the attack upon them, and number of angry residents formed a posse and with loaded guns they are securing the town and surrounding woods in an effort to locate the fugitive.
 The young women can give only a vague description of their assailant.
