Since his installation as president OF
the Rock Island about six months ago,
Mr. Loree has been constantly on the
go, yet he has not nearly completed
what he considers a careful inspection
of the lines. 1t would take a man nearly
two months to merely casually visit every
point on the Rock Island system, travel
ing night and day and having the right
of way.
An endless array of facts might be pre-
scented illustrative of the slowness with
which practical results are obtained In
the way of economies from the recon-
struction of railroad properties now going
on. Years must elapse before the wisdom
of the expenditures will be fully reflect
ed in financial reports, yet these results
are as certain as any forecast can be
based on human experience and judg-
ment The railroad arrangements of to-
day represent all that has been learned
through sixty years of amazing evolution
in the field of practice. They are APP
plying to the operation of their proper
ties every scientific principle at their
command. Inevitably both the owners
and the public will be benefited.

TWO BUCKS FOJGHT A MOOSE.
And Were G onQuerlnE Him When \ Hunter
Interfered by shooting All Three.

From the Duiuth Evening Herald.
NJ. S. Burrows and Dr. w. H. Magic returned
from successful hunting trip in northern
Itasca county this morning bringing with
them four deer and two moose, besides n
great variety Of marvellous stories OF adven-
ture.
The experience Of the doctor In shooting
two deer and a moose without moving from
his tracks is considered rather remarkable.
as were the incidents leading up to the whole
sale slaughter.
The doctor was hunting through the woods
alone, when, off n considerable distance to
the right, he heard most terrific and un-
usual racket. The sound OF breaking brush
and saplinCs was combined with animal
cries Of rage and pain. It sounded not un-
like two bulls engaged In mortal combat
Seeing that his gun was ready for action.
the bold hunter rapidly approached the
sounds He made considerable noise rush
ing through the brush. but this did not bother
him. for he knew II was not loud enough
to he heard above the din ahead.
Suddenly coming to a little gltde. re-
markable sight burst into view. In the
centre Of an open space a huge bull moose
and two buck deer. all with large antlers
were fighting desperately. The moose WAS
in the middle. with a deer rushing him from
two ways. He was holding his own well
even under these unequal conditions. but
what the Qeer lacked III weight tney seemed
to more than make up In numbers. and IL
seemed but matter OF time before the larger
animal would have b give up the battle.
The doctor soon found that lie was not
the only spectator OF the deadly combat
On the opposite side OF the glade were ranged
two does, three fswns and q COW moose ali
chewing their cuds vigorously. They ap-
peared to be very much excited. and stamped
rapidly up and down. occasionally bloating
and believing out encours cement to their
lords and masters.
At this interesting juncture. the doctors
sporting blood got the better OF him. and with
three shots he dropped all three of the fighters
In their tracks He kindly permitted the
feminine portion OF the audience to leave
the theatre unmolested. but he came very
near not getting out alive himself, FOR no
sooner had he fired the three shots than with
r frinhtful crash and roar third moose,
also large bull. broke through the brush
from behind and charged him. Unfortunately
the doctors gun was one OF the Kind holding
only four cartridges. a half magazine, so he
had only one shell in It at that time. This
was hred SO hurricdly that IL missed the mark
The hunter was about to climb u tree when
the moose saw the COW Ia tho distance, and
started for her.

SoIERvILLE, y. j., Nov. 25.-The Lord
will case came up for a third hearing to-
ay before Judge Lewis II. Schenck in the
Somerset Orphans Court DUNCAN d
lie ger, counsel for Porter Lord Of New York,
who seeks to break the will OF his half sister,
Miss Allene Lord, who disinherited him
and left 10000 to charity, made an appl-
cation to the Court to have the case removed
to the Circuit Court, where 1t can be tried
before a jury. Miss Lords will bequeaths
to Somerville $4,000 for q public fountain
to be erected to the memory Of her brother,
John Lord.
Porter Lords counsel announced that
evidence would be adduced to show that
Miss Lord was "a believer in spirits Of the
dead" and that she had a m entail derange-
ment which led her to believe that Porter
Lord was her enemy. 1t was also alleged
by counsel that the will Of Miss Lord had
not been properly executed and that un-
due influence had been used to have her
leave her estate to charity.
The application was opposed by Hugh
X. CASTOR. executor OF the will, Bayard
Stockton, counsel for the INDECENT Minis
ters' Association of the Episcopal Church
Of America. and James l.. Griggs, counsel
for the town of Somerville.
The counsel for the benefciaries of the
will contend that the application to have
the case tried by jury was unusual. and
that it was incumbent on counsel for Mr..
Lord to prove that there was something
unusual in the evidence about to be adduced
before the case could be renrvcd to an
other court. Judge Schenck reserved bis
decision until Dec. 2.
Miss Lord lived for twelve years in fine
residence in the best quarter of the town.
After she died il was found that she had
used only two scantily furnished rooms,
and that her big house was filed with a
great quantity of valuable merchandise
packed in boxes and trunks. The manner
in which she came into the possession of
her odd treasures is still a mystery.
