STABBED BY PORCUPINES

PORTLAND. Me-. Nov. 9.-Llteral'y
living pinoushions ana filled with por-
cupine quilts from their ankles to their
thighs. Burt seavey and Cullen Jorden
Of Scarboro, were brought 10 a local
physician for treatment after a battle
with two giant Maine hedgehogs,
which they had encountered IN woot
road while returning from work yes
terday afternoon. The physician
plucked more than thirty-ave quills
frcm the legs ofgtnch man. but no scr,-
Gus results are expected, unless bloc
poisoning sets In.
As soon as the two young farmers
came upon the porcupines, just before
dusk. they picked up clubs and started
for the animals. The hedgehogs, as
they are called hereabouts, jabbed their
needle pointed quilts into the farmers
legs. The young men responded with
a short but sharp attack with their
clubs. but the porcupines proved TO
have the better weapons, ana carried
the day. Although one Of them was
left stretched on the ground, the other
retreated triumphantly and In good or
der, master OF the situation, while the
two agriculturaiists limped home and
out Of harms way as speedily as pos
sible.

he lost sight Of her for eight months
He had given up hope Of ever seeing
her again when, returning to this coun-
try. he was surprised and delighted to
find her a passenger on the same vessel.
But an Introduction was still not
forthcoming, and upon arrival In Amer
lea the interpreter again was separ-

In despair Spitzkopf once more
sought his friend Braca. who advised
him TO leave his case to chance.

Campbell at the home Of a mutual
friend, they were introduced and the
rest was easy. But. although she read

Campbell told her iance that she could
not marry him for some time. "Some

ton which the railroad is alleged to have
placed across the Boyer river and channel

could under the circumstances to fur
nish this city with lights. They stated
that Manager HoIdrege had assured them
that conditions would be materially i'm
proved in about three days, but that it
would be two weeks at least before the
plant would be in full running order again.
Manager English of the Citizens Gas
and Electric company explained the situ-
alton across the river and assured the
councilmen that his company was giving
the best service possible under the cir
cumstances. The reason the street arc
lights were not turned on earlier in the
night, he explained, was due to the fact
that the commercial lighting absorbed so
much Of the present limited power.
Councilman Wallace suggested that the
company "cut out" it's commercial light
ing while the present conditions lasted and
give the city more street lights. This,
Manager English declared was hardly
practicable at this season of the year, as
the stores were kept open evenings on ac-
count of the Christmas trade.
Councilman Fleming suggested that If
the city could do without the street arc
| lights in the fore part of the night, it
could do without them for the rest of the
light, and he thought 1t would be just as
well untl the company was prepared 10 re-
sumo its regular service not to have the
lights turned on at all. Such a move, it
was suggested, might not meet with favor
by the police department, and the commit
tee on fire and light was instructed to con-
fer with the police department and ascer-
tain II it's work would be hampered by
the lights not being turned on until the
/ regular service was resumed. The commit
tee is to report back at the meeting Of the
