HE SKINNED UP A TREE
Hawk Hunter Does, Because 1t Was
Against the Rules to Kill
MnnSa

Munising, Mich, Nov. Tired by
a moose in the Cleveland Cliffs Iron
company's big game preserve on
Grand island, Lake Superior, where he
is employed to kill hawks, was the
experience Of Napoleon Marchetti, a
well-known hunter and trapper. When
the hawk hunter was suddenly con-
fronted by the moose he might easily
have brought his rifle into play, for he
is dead shot, but that was against
the cOmpanys rules.
There was but one alternative, to
shin up tree, and this Marchetti did
with alacrity. Then from point of
vantage in a crotch the man watched
the animal stamp around until its rage
subsidized. 1t was several hours before
the moose, after making desperate eff
forts to reach his quarry, finally am
bled off, and then Marchetti cautiously
slid down the tree and made tracks out
Of harm's way.

SITUATION is MIGHTY TENSE
Trouble Expected at the Polls a.
the Quaker City.


Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The day of
election finds the situation here so
tense that no Philadelphia will BE-
surprised If the peace of the city is
seriously disturbed. Matters reached
q critical stage when the mayor and
the sheriff, both of whom are leaders
in their respective parties, issued an
tagonistic proclamations swearing to
uphold the law and protect the citizens
against illegal ballots of the opposing
side. The sheriff in his proclamation
called upon citizens to assist deputies
appointed by him to uphold the law,
and the mayor replied in a strongly
Worded proclamation in which he said:
"The peace of the city, the supremacy
of the law, and the blood-bought rights
of honest electors must and shall be
preserved"
Backing uphisp proclamation the may
or has sworn in about 1000 special
policemen. The mayor understood the
sheriff's proclamation as announcing
that he would appoint them, and in his
proclamation quotes the law against
such an action on the part Of the sher-
iff, and urges all citizens to resist in
every way possible and all deputy
sheriffs who may in any way inter
tere with their voting.
Subsequent to the mayors proclama-
ton Sheriff Miles issued a statement
saying: II will not reply to the vicious
attacks and personal abuse of the may
or, but | will say that no deputies
have been appointed by me for the
election, that l will appoint none now,
and that have never seriously consid-
cred such appointments" He said he
did not consider the act prohibiting tie
appointment of deputy sheriffs for elcc.
ton purposes constitutional, and If he
thought it proper to do so he would
have no hesitancy in appointing depu-
ties. He preferred, he said, to place
the whole responsibility for the preser-
walton of the peace on the mayor.
where it belongs.
The managers of both sides gave out
predictions that the candidates will
sweep the city.

New York. Nov. IAN almost un-
precedented degree of uncertainty re-
garding the result of the final conflict
at the polls marks the close of what
has been in many respects the most
interesting political campaign ever
waged in the city of New York Wheth-
er Mcclellan, Hearst or WINS will be
chosen to rule the destinies of the me-
tropolis for the next four years pre-
sents a problem which in the fact of
conditions absolutely unique battles the
skill of even the most experienced fore
casters Of election results.
Hearst Develops Great Strength.
This is due to the complication
arising from the appearance in the field
of new and formidable element rep
resented by the Municipal Ownership
League, which under the leadership of
William r. Hearst has carried on a
campaign marked by extraordinary Wig
or, and has developed a degree Of
strength that has been the subject Of
general amazement. The Hearst cam
paign eliminated in a monster meet
ing at Madison Square garden, which
was marked by an unparalleled dis
play of enthusiasm, supporters of the
candidate to the number Of 10000 be-
ing unable to gain admission to the
hall. simultaneously another great
meeting Of almost equal dimensions,
held in the Hippodrome, testified to the
strength of the following of Mayor Nc
Clellan.
All Are Certain of Victory.
The manager of the three mayoralty
candidates, however, declared them
selves to be absolutely assured of vic
tory. Of betting on the result there
has been considerably less than in
former years, due, apparently, to the
general feeling of uncertainty and to
the indications that the result may be
very close. In Wall street the odds
ended 2 to 1 on Mcclellan, at which
price a prominent broker offered to
wager 100000 to $5O,O0O The same
broker placed bet of $4,000 to $1O,-
600 on the mayor. Bets on WINS ruled
l to 6 and on Hearst 1 to 21h. Odds
on the election of Jerome were about
the same as Oh Mcclellan.
