comes from ArOostOOk county. In this
case he walked from Mars Hill to
Sprague's Mills, distance of miles,
did his job well and then walked back
the whole 3 miles. The task which he
undertook was to play a game of base =
ball against the local nine. AS his club
won by big score, it is presumed that
the journey home was a pleasant one.

A Portland family is having moving
which is somewhat out of the ordinary.
They are moving, house and all, from
Portland street to Walton street a dis
lance of two miles and at latest reports
the house was showing a desire to
break apart in the middle. Since the
house started on its two-mile trip some
weeks ago, it has been forced to under
go SO much twisting and turning that
it is little wonder it has not broken
apart before. Corners have been
turned and hills climbed, but it has still
gone on, and for that matter is still
going. creeping slowly along Deering
avenue toward it's ultimate destination
on Walton street. The ell has not
entirely dropped off but it has become
separated at the top by space of six
inches or more and is really in danger
Of a total estrangement. Meanwhile,
blocks and ropes and horses are being
used with all care. and the woman
moving in the house continues to live
in it and it approaches slowly its
destination in another ward.

rets at each corner of the superstruc-
ture. In addition the main battery
will have twelve seven-inch guns. This
size rifle is an innovation in naval
armament. but it is believed they may
be handled almost as easily as the
eight inch gun. and is expected to be
much more effective in armor piercing
than the siX-inch rapid-fire rifles. The
secondary battery also will have larger
guns than hitherto have been used
1t will be composed of twenty three
inch rapid-fire guns, discharging four
teen pound shells; twelve three pound

guns. In addition it will be equipped
with four submerged torpedo tubes.
The vessel will be thoroughly
equipped with electrical appliances for
handling ammunition. aiming the guns,
and for all other necessary purposes.
1t is now an accepted theory that in or
der to do satisfactory shooting there
should be continuous aim-that is to
say, the gun should be pointed steadily
at the target. no matter how the yes
sci moves. One method of doing this
Is by keeping the weapon in a horizon
tai position all the time by an auto
matically controlled electric motor. The

equipped with such motors.

DEER DIES OF FRIGHT
Man Leaps on His Back and
Scares Him to Death.

When was working in the lumber
woods at Cross Forks, on Pine creek /"
SAID the man from Potter county.
pennsylvania, "a man named George
Briggs came over from Cortland. N.
T., and wanted to get a live deer. This
was before the railroads and tanneries
came into that part of the hemloclx
belt, and deer were more than plenty.
julie Crittenden was running things at
cross Forks, and he volunteered to get
Briggs the deer
julie scattered a number Of his men
about in the woods, told me to hitch m
team to follow the road through the
woods with him, and then put the dogs
out to start a deer. They were not long
DONG IT, The deer came to the road
some distance ahead of our team. We
put the whip to the horses and chased
1t all the way to the ford of the creek
at Cross Forks, the shouting of the
men in the woods and the yelping Of
the dogs keeping it in the road
The deer took a course up the
creek at the ford. The men scared It
back, though, and it ran into a big
laurel patch. We had stopped the
team, and it was standing in the road.
with Crittenden and me both in the
wagon, While the dogs chased the deer
out past the team. AS it was bounding
by Crittenden leaped from the wagon
and came down aStride of the deer.
"Cr1ttenden was a man of extraOr-
d1narily long legs, and as he landed on
the deer his feet touched the ground
ON each side, thus preventing his
weight from breaking the deer down
and enabling it to move on its wav.
This it did for only a few PAGES.

Crittenden'S long legs and his clutch
on the deer keeping it on it's feet When
the deer stopped Crittenden hollered to
me:
I've got him! Hurry here with the
halter strapi'
wagon and ran to where Crittenden
was holding the deer, and I noticed
something peculiar about the animal,
and l said to Crittenden:
Why, julie, the deer is dead!'
g Like fun it ISL said Crittenden,
holding on to the deer with a tight
clutch. Halter it, I tell you, or It'll
throw me and get away!'
You get off, said l, and 1 tell you
the deer will fall over
He got off of the deer and it tum-
bled to the ground as dead as stone
1t had actually been scared to death
I'VE got Briggs his live deer, though,
the next day. The odd feature of that
deer hunt was the standing of a dog
on runway and the driving of deer
to 1t by the hunter, instead Of putting
the hunter on the runway and letting
the dog do the driving. 1t worked to a
charm, and they took the deer In and
delivered it to Briggs.
Il don't know what there was about
that man, but in less than half an hour
he had that deer so tame-fresh as it
was from its wilderness haunts, where
he was wild and unapproachabIe-th

RAILROAD NEWS
500 WILL OPEN LINE
Flood Stricken Road to Re-
sumo Traffic Wednesday.

Traffic on the 500 line west of St. Paul
will be resumed tomorrow, after having
been suspended since April 10, on account
-Df the severe floods in the Mouse river
country, southeast of Minot, N. D.
Official notice was given yesterday at
The 500 office that passenger service will
be resumed May 4, and that freight trains
Will again run on regular schedules before
She close of the week.
The floods about Minot were the most
disastrous that the 500 line has ever suf-
fered. About the middle of April the
Mouse river left its channel and the wa
tiers began to rise rapidly. On April 10
the 500 lines tracks were inundated.
Trains were stalled and an order was is
sued by the operating department cancel
ing all trains on the divisions west Of
Sc Paul.
The through coast traffic was turned
over to the Great Northern. which line
carried the Soo's passengers to Winnipeg,
where they were turned over to the Ca
madam Pacific. The large immigration
business which the 500 had secured was
also turned over to the Great Northern.
About week ago it was said that 1t
before the 500 would be able to resume
traffic on its line. The waters continued
to rise until last Saturday when they
finally began to recede. Yesterday word
was received by General Manager Pen
nington that the track was clear in some
places, and that within ten hours the wa
tiers would return to their natural channel
Gangs of track men were placed at
work Immediately and last night it was
said that the line will be open early We'd
nesday morning.
About ten miles of track were inundat-
ed, which will neceSSitate the rebuilding
OF the roadbed over that stretch of line.
