Three Wisconsin Young Mon Narrowly
Escape Death.

escape DSdtNs
Marinette, Wis, Nov. 12.-Three
Marinette county young men, Albert
Marsh, Warren Hale and James
Forbes, had a miraculous escape from
death. They were cruising in the
vicinity Of the Eagle falls on the Pesh-
tigo river and tried to cross the river
In boat. The boat upset and the
men and craft went over Eagle falls.
The falls are eight or ten feet high
and full of jagged rocks. The foot of
the falls is a swirling mass of water
with whirlpools and eddies. The
young men and boat were swept over
before any assistance could reach
them.
Hale is good swimmer and was
able to make the shore. Marsh was
carried through the rapids and depos-
tied on sandbar In an unconscious
condition and rescued by friends and
has recovered, but Forbes had the
most miraculous escape. He was car.
ried through the rapids and was in
the water several minutes. At times
parts of his body could be seen and
friends on the shore put out in boat
and finally succeeded In grabbing
him. His almost lifeless body was
taken ashore and all the methods used
to restore life in similar cases were
tried and he was finally resuscitated

Sir walter scott,. First Brief.

Sir Walter SCOTS First Brief.
Sir Walter Scott had his share Of the
usual curious experiences shortly after
being called to the bar. His first APP
pearance as counsel in a criminal court
was at Jedburgh assizes In 1893, when
he successfully defended veteran
poacher. you're lucky scoundrel,"
Scott whispered to his client when the
verdict was given. I'm just O. your
mind" returned the latter, "and I'll
send you maukin d. e., hare) the
morn, man." Lockhart, who narrates
the incident, omits to add whether the
maukin duly reached Scott, but no
doubt it did. On another occasion Scott
was less successful in his defense of a
housebreaker, but the culprit, grateful
for his counsel's exertions, gave him, in
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece of advice, to
the value of which he (the housebrcak-
err could professionally attest: First,
never to have large watchdog out of
doors, but to keep little yelping ter
rier within, and, secondly, to put no
trust in nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to pin his faith to huge old heavy
one with rusty key. Scott long re-
membered this incident, and thirty
years later, at judges dinner at Jed
burgh, he recalled it in this impromptu
rhyme:
Yelping terrier. rusty key,
Was Walter Scott's best Jeddart fee.

BRYAN DISCUSSES ELECTION.
Sets Considerable Satisfaction From
the Outcome.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 12.-C0mment-
Ing on the result of the election
w. ]. Bryan gets considerable salts
faction in viewing the outcome from q
Democratic standpoint. He regrets the
defeat of w, R. Hearst in New York,
but cannot see wherein President
Roosevelt can find any comfort in the
vote of the Empire state. Mr.. Bryan
says the presidents personal attack
ON Mr.. Hearst was In very bad taste
and he insists that the attack did not
favorably impress the public.
Particularly gratifying to the DEM
ocratic heart, says Mr.. Bryan, Is the
return of Missouri to the fold. In q
statement Mr.. Bryan says in part:
THE election of 1906 indicates a
trend In favor of the Democratic par
ty. 1t proves that the Democratic
party is growing stronger as Repub-
lican policies are developed. In New
York the party has won a signal vic
tory In spite of the tremendous efforts
put forth in behalf of the administra
tion The fact that the Democrats
elected every state officer excepting
the governor shows that in the EN-.
pire state the Republican party has
been repudlated."

GIVEN THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
VALUABLE LAND By KAN
., sAs COURT DECISION.
= a.N @-
HUNDREDS OF PERSONS AFFECTED
OCCUPANTS OF BOTH SIDES OF
HE ENTIRE RIGHT OF WAY
! ORDERED OUSTED.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 12.-Thousands
of acres of the most valuable farm
land in Kansas, together with large
amount of land located In towns and
cities of the state, is given to the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
by q decision handed down by the
Kansas supreme court In the case of
that railroad company against one
Watson.
In July, 1866, congress granted to
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
Southern branch, now the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railway company,
a right of way 200 feet wide from said
railway to the south line of the state,
a distance of about $50 miles. After
ward patents were issued to private
persons for land through which the
railroad runs without excepting the
right of way. The persons holding
these patents have treated the right OF
way as being only 100 feet wide. In
some cases valuable improvements
have been made by them on the outer
fifty feet on each side of the railway
tracks and they have occupied the
land without disturbance for many
years. The railroad company brought
suit to GUST these occupants and the
court now decides in its favor.
The land affected by the decision
lies in Geary, Morris, Lyon, Coffey
Woodson, Allen, Neosho and Labette
counties, in one of the most fertile
portions of the state. Among the
larger places touched in these counties
by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railway are White City, Council Grove
Emporia, Burlington, Chanute, Par
sons, Oswego and Chetopa.
Mr.. Watson, the defendant, Is one
OF the many landholders occupying
land along the Union Pacific right of
way. 1t is believed that the case will
be appealed to the United States SUI
preme court

OUT IMMINENT,

New York, Nov. 12.-President Un-
derwood of the Erie Railroad company
has declined to grant a demand for a
reduction In working hours which had
been made by a committee represent
ing the firemen employed by that
company. John ]. Hanrahan, grand
master of the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Firemen, informed Mr.. Underwood
that his response to the demands of
the f1remen was unsatisfactory and
that a poll Of the Erie firemen would
at once be taken to determine whether
or not they will strike. The firemen's
demands are said to be equivalent to
an Increase of 10 per cent In wages.
Seventeen hundred men are said to
be affected. Their committee had a
conference Friday with General Man
ager Stuart of the Erie, who refused
their demands. They took the matter
to President Underwood. He told
them he should not have been ap-
pealed to after Mr.. Stuart had given
his decision. The president also ad-
vised the flremen to go home and wait
until the matter could be investigated.
Negotiations Broken of.
Grand Master Hanrahan replied that
no further investigation was neces-
sary and that the Erie paid it's flremen
less than any Of its three competing
roads between New York and Chicago
the New York Central, the Pennsyl-
vania and the Baltimore and Ohio.
After the conference the firemen's
committee had meeting and decided
that negotiations with the Erie OFF,
oials should cease. Some of the men,
bers of the committee said that a
strike appeared to be imminent.
Warren NJ. Stone, grand chief Of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers, arrived in this city during the
day to confer with committee of the
engineers of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, who are
to have a conference with President
w. H. Truesdale over demand for
an increase In wages.
Overtures made to the New York
Central and New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroads by the COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Firemen
were reported to be progressing favor
ably.

The Deer's Tracks.

A deer if walking always places its
feet firmly closed upon the ground, and
consequently the track is sharply
drawn-that is, the hoof is not spread

tons are sometimes the track of deer
that are heavy with fawns, during
spring and early summer. and those Of
old bucks during the rutting season.
But even then the heels of their tracks
are considerably closer than in tracks
made by hog or sheep The hoofs
of the latter two animals are always
rounder at the toe than those Of deer.

tinguishable, and if the difference is
not discernible in frozen snow the
fact that the trail made by hogs or

wounded will always step with its
hind foot in the track made by the
front foot,-Field and Stream.

A Confusion of Names.

Although Scotia is now known to
mean Scotland, it once was the name
Of Ireland. Two centuries before the
birth of Christ Ireland was known to
the Greeks as Juvenca. Caesar called
it Hibernia. as did also Ptolemy in his
map of that island. It is said the
Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name
of Hibernia, meaning thereby utmost
or last .habitation," for beyond that
land westward the Phoenicians never
extended their voyages. Toward the
decline of the Roman empire the coun-
try began to be called Scotia, a name
retained by the monastic writer's until
the eleventh century, when the name
Scotia, having passed to modern Scot
land, the ancient name of Hibernia be-
gan to be again used.

BIG COAL DOCKS BURN.
Fire at Chicago Causes a Loss OIL
$757,OOO.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE docks OF
the Lehigh Valley Coal company, sit
uated at One Hundredth street and
Commercial avenue, were totally de-
stroyed by fire, causing a damage, as
estimated by the officers of the com.
pany, of $757,000.
The fire originated from some un-
known cause in the engineroom,
which was situated in the basement of
q coalhouse in which $4,000 tons of
hard coal were stored. The flames
spread SO rapidly that the employees
were forced to run for their lives with
out being able to send word of the
fire to the down town officers of the
company. The coal is steadily burn
ing and 1t is expected that it will be
several days before the fire Is entirely
extinguished. The company's loss in
hoisting machinery is estimated at
about 100000. This amount is, how
ever, included in the total Of $757, 900.
