.SRABOARD TO MAKE
GREAT EXTENSION
A TRUNK LINE is TO BE CON-
STRUGGLED FROM TENNESSEE
TO ALABAMA, GEORGIA, FLOR
IDA AND OTHER POINTS.

louisville. February 21.-A special from
Plttsburg, Pa, says;
A great railroad project, destined ma
terially to change the face Of the indus
trial south will be officially announced
by the seaboard Air Line company in a
few days from its headquarters IN Ports
mouth va The project is nothing less
than the construction of trunk line
from Tennessee to the states OF Alabama
Georgia and Florida and to ports on
tine southeast Atlantic coast. This line
will also afford the west and middle west
a short route to the gulf states from Gin
cinnati and Louisville.
The project had it's inception In the
purchase by the Seaboard of the South
and Western railroad of Tennessee This
comparative Insignificant line is now in
operation between Johnson, Tenn, and
Spruce Pine, in the same state. With a
short branch, It's operated mileage Is only
seventy-five miles.
The work is now being accelerated by
large additions to the construction forces
which on February were brought up to
10000 men. Connection has been made
with the Norfolk and Western at Dante
Tenn. The road will next be extended
northward through Tennessee to the Elk
horn, Ky, coal field, where II is pro-
posed to connect with the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, road allied with the
Seaboard at other points. Southwark the
South and Western will be extended to
a point at or near Columbia S. c., where
connection will be made with the At
lanta and Birmingham division of the
Seaboard.

fifteen capital weeks when we have now

tiles, we could dispose of a larger num-
Der of misdemeanors cases during a day,
because even using the halls we have
not room enough for a larger number
of lawyers, litigants and witnesses than

RAILROADS WIN OUT.
Government Cannot Force Them Ia
Use Oil for Fuel.

After a fight that has extended over
nearly a year the forestry bureau OF
the United States has abandoned an
effort to compel the st. Paul railroad
to use oil for fuel in passing through
forest reserves of Washington, Mon
tana and Idaho. The company will
use coal, but is obliged to send it's en-
ployes to aid in putting out any fires
that may start along the right of way.
Were the use Of oil required, a Sc
rious handicap would be imposed.
Whether the forestry department
actually had authority to demand the
use of oil was not settled in the con-
trOversy between the road and the fed
eral authorities. It was decided that
the company had selected it's route be-
fore the Lolo reserve was created and
an ex post facto regulation would not
apply to the line.
In the settlement of the fight the
railroad company has agreed to pay
for all the timber cut off the right OF
way and to hold it's employees ready tc
assist in the extingVfshing of any
fires that may occur in the reserve
near the line.

Attacked by Wildcat, Grabs ANNA
and Runs -Four Miles
he STILL LIVES TO TELL THE TALE
BEAST, STILL IN ARMS OF MAN.
Is SHOT BY TWO
FARMERS.

LAKE CITY, Ia, Nov. 19.-John
Sieh, middle-aged farmer of the vi
cinity of Grant city, ran four m.es
through heavy timber with a full
grown, ferocious wildcat Rugged close
to his chest, and is alive to describe
his remarkable experience. Sien was
hunting quail in a plum thicket, when
his dog flushed game. Sieh did not
know what kind it was and approached
cautiously. He soon found out, for a
wildcat leaped at Sieh's throat. The
claws of the cat did not do much
harm on account Of a heavy coat worn
by Sieh, who dropped his gun and
Rugged the cat close to keep 1t from
clawing him. One arm was close be-
low the animals head, which pre-
vented its biting him.
In this death grip hunter and cat
travelled four miles before assistance
was obtained.
Then two farmers procured gun
and shot the animal in the head while
clasped in Sieh's desperate embrace.
Sieh was nearly exhausted when re-
leased from the animals clutch. He
says he never wants to look into such
flaming eyes again. It has been mayn
years since an account Of a mans be-
ing attacked by a wildcat in this part
of the state has been reported.

AN ORATORS STRATEGY.

An orator who was equal to the
emergency was the late George A.
Sheridan, a noted "spellbinder" often
engaged by the republican national
committee. At a big meeting he was
addressing in a town near New York
he was introduced by a Mr.. O'Brien,
the chairman, in most fiattering terms.
In order to reciprocate, Mr.. Sheridan
paid a glowing tribute to the sterling
qualities of the chairman, and wound
up the eulogy by asserting that no
man could say that Mr.. O'Brien owed
him a cent.
"He owes me 49," came a keen Gel
tic voice from the rear of the audience.
1t was almost solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience start
ed to laugh and jeer. Rallying, the
speaker said: Don't be alarmed,
good friends; I will answer that man
presently" His assertion was to gain
time, and if possible, have the audience
forget the incident but again that
penetrating voice cried out:
HE owes me 50 cold cash."
Advancing to the edge of the plat
form, General Sheridan, in a conf1den
tial tone, said: Eyes, I know all
about the SO, for my friend, Mr..
O'Brien, has given me the inside facts.
Ladies' and gentlemen, the truth is
simply this, and it reveals peculiar
character. This man who has inter-
rupted me met Mr.. O'Brien recently
and asked him for the loan Of SO. I
haven't got So said the generous Mr..
O'Brien, but here are 81 handing the
money to him. Now this man is go
ing around saying my friend, the hon.
he could lend him only 81 when $40
was requested" A roar Of laughter
filled the hall, and the indignant man
tried to answer the orator. He was
nowled down. The chairman whis-
pered in General Sheridan's ear, "You
have saved me-you are a genius

Times in Five Years
NOW SERVING TERN FOR BURGLARY
SENT UP FOR RoBeINc JEWELRY
STORE OF TWENTY
WATCHES.

SALEM, Ore, Nov. 1s.-In prison
times in five years. That is the record
OF Arthur Freel. a 26-year old lad
brought to the penitentiary from Multi
nomah county to serve a five-year
sentence for burglary. He broke the
glass show window of a jewelry es-
adjustment with stick and stole 20
watches worth altogether less than
$40. His detection and arrest speedily
followed and after trial and convic-
ton he finds himself in states prison
for the third time in less than four
years.
The degenerate served first in the
penitentiary a two-years' sentence and
then one year, less the customary time
for good behavior and his conduct
gained him such credit with Deputy
Warden Smith that after his liberation
he was employed by him and given
an opportunity to reform and make
a man of himself. But it was not in
him. Kindness was repaid with base
ingratitude. After q short while he
procured rope, tied 1t around the
head Of his employers COW and led hel
to butcher and sold her. His arrest
followed but in some way he was lei
of with light sentence. which he
served in the Marion county jail.
