perienced from this source providing
you are or the square, and it will not
take them long to determine whether
you are or not.
We noticed while we were at the post
a sentry guarding four deserters. They
marched up the hill and they marched
down the hill and between the
marching points they would have to
throw a pile o: wood from one side Of
the road to the other, and go on during
the day with guard pacing along be-
hind them. at a reasonable distance.
Towards evening they marched them
ahead of four soldiers on horseback to
another post, en- route to Fort Duchene,
the fort from whence they deserted.
They will have to walk all the way,
which is something like rs miles more

He Says Money Was Used to
Block Him.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan S1.-Rev l.

before an ecclesiastical court. In de-
Gliding to proceed no further he SAYS:
Il do not know what else can be done
with Bishop Talbot, who has brought
such scandal upon the church and
such scandal upon others, but to for

on the last great day before the judg-
ment throne of Jesus Christ, our

DRIVER NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH BY ELECTROCUTTON
His Horse Runs Against Dangling
Live Wire and Is Instantly
Killed.

OAKLAND, Jan. 31.--Giving no
heed to the warning cries of bystand-
ers who saw his danger, P. Daniel, a
delivery clerk employed by the A. G..
Newhall Company. drove his horse
into the dangling end of a live wire
at Twentieth and Adeline streets to-
day, the animal being instantly killed
and the driver narrowly escaping the
same fate. The wire which caused
the trouble was a broken telephone
line which, in falling, dropped across
the Adeline street trolley wire. The
loose end hung down into the street
and it was this that the horse struck.
Several people who saw the acci-
dent said that Daniel was warned of
the danger as he approached the
broken wire, but paid no attention to
the warning and took no notice of the
wire until he had run into the hang
ing end and his horse had been killed
by the deadly current.
