SQUIRRELS SAVED HIS LIFE
crippled in an Old Hut. He Kept
Alive on Store Of Nuts.

Alive on Store OF Nuts.
IL Albert Denslow RECEIVERS from a
recent experience on Pico mountain,
VI, he will owe his life to family
OF gray squirrels.
Denslow is a chopper, ana couple
OF weeks ago went TO a woodlot TO
cut stoyowood. He took provisions
enough to last him week. and on
Saturday noon left camp to spend
Sunday in town.
lie had gone about a mile and a
half when he slipped. fell and
wrencked his right nip so badly that
he could not bear his weight on his
leg After lying in the snow until
dusk, when his leg becoming more
painful every moment, he became des.
perate.
There was not human being with.
in miles, and to spend a night in the
forest in his condition meant certain
death. Finally. remembering an old
log hut half mile north of him, he
began to crawl to it.
He reached the cabin at O'Clock in
the morning and built a fire in an old
hearth. Then he bathed his thigh
and, proppng himself mp in front of
the congenial blaze, went to sleep.
He awOke in the morning stiff. sore
and ravenously hungry. His leg was
still swelling and every move caused
him great pain. 1t would be several
days before he could hope to leave.
ana the chopper was staring starva.
ton in the face when he noticed a
gray squirrel on the floor and anoth.
er on rafter over his head. They
were observing him curiously and
chattering.
A loose stone lay near his hand and
he secured it. Then, carefully getting
arm room, he hurled the missile at
the squirrel. The stone hit the floor
at the animals feet, caromed to the
wall and struck a loose board.
There was a rafting in the parti.
ton, and from a hole at the top Of
the Dashboard rolled a welldried but.
ternut The squirrel had disappeared
like a shot, leaving the choppers eyes
riveted on the nut.
II required but few moments TO
crawl across the room and procure it.
In another moment it had been
cracked with the stone intended for
the squirrel and the meat lay in Dens-
lows hand.
Squirrels don't hide single nuts.
and, trembling with anticipation, the
chopper tore out board in the wall
and out tumbled at least a bushel of
the nuts. There were more back of
another board and Denslow made a
hearty meal.
Then he melted some snow in an
old tin can, took long drink and re.
plenished the fire.
There was no use trying to move.
so the man remained quiet, bathing
his leg in snow-water and keeping as
warm as he could. During the day
he discovered an old discarded over
coat and that night had more com.
Portable sleep.
All the next day he dined on nuts
and water, and the swelling began to
go down. II was two more days be.
tore he could bear his weight on the
limb to get TO the village. When he
dii reach here he was in bad con.
dition and was trine weak mentally,
but 1t is believed he will pull through
in a few days.
Denslow used to be a great SOUR.
rel hunter. but he will never take an
other shot at the animals, he says

that has been worked on me and on sew

GREAT BUBBLE BURST
Continued from First Page.)

Repeated efforts were made on the part OF
Beckwith to get into communication with
Baldwin, but they were always unsuccess-
full An excuse was always ready wnen
inquiry concerning Baldwin was pressed:
The Oberlin bank was to be made the
trustee of the estate as soon as the con-
tract with the then alleged trustees was
ended, which was said to be July i, 1903.
When July 1 of last year came around
matters were said to be in such shape as
to make it necessary for the estate 70 re-
main in the same hands for some little
time longer With the end of their trou-
bles in sight and a golden harvest within
grasp, as the Oberlin banker believed, they
were put off, to commence upon period
of Stortuous anticipation, which ended
with the closing of the doors of the insti-
tuition and the arrest of both the preS1-
dent and cashier.
Desperate Chase for Funds.
In relation to the Endorsement of the
notes by Beckwith and Spear. the story
from the banker goes On to relate that the
notes were Endorsed only as last recourse
in the desperate chase for funds. He con-
fessed that he had intended to attempt to
negotiate loans upon the note, but his
nerve failed him. The Endorsements were
put on, it was explained, to make the
paper more bankable. .
The confession practically tells story of
how the Oberlin bank had been used as
clearing house for Mrs Chadwick's manlp-

end finally threatened to sell the jewels.
In her dilemma the woman appealed to
Beckwith Both were of the opinion that
the public sale of the diamonds would
cause talk and endanger the plans that
had been made. Beckwith settled the
problem by taking up the note, giving him
lis personal note instead. note which he
later took UP by paying the cash.
DR.. Eaton Makes No Statement Now.
A representative of the Associated Press
who called at the residence of Rev. DR..
Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Euclid Ave-
nue. Baptist Church, today was informed
that DR.. Eaton was i'll in bed and could not
be seen. When reference was made to the
statement of Mr. Newton, in Boston, that
Dr. Eaton had assisted in bringing about
an Introduction of Mrs. Chadwick to Mr..
Newton, which Introduction, it Is alleged,
eliminated in the negotiation of the large
loan, the caller was informed that DR..
Eaton had absolutely no statement to make
at present, but that later he might have
something to say.
