with some deer. While out in his boat

Cain watched his chance, and when
the largest buck made jump and fell
back and rolled over he seized him by
the hind leg and tried to hold him on
his back until he could kill him with
pocketknife, which was the only
weapon he had. He was not able,
however, to open his knife. as it was
desperate struggle, which finally ended
In the deer regaining his feet, when
the whole three bolted off and scam
pered down the beach. Mr.. Cain was
left lying PROSTATE on the beach.

they sought refuge in the Feller home,
the Fellers being neighbors. Bonne-
Vile went to New York the same day
and did not return until after 9 o'clock
last night. He had evidently been
drinking. for he went home, obtained
two revolvers. and with these went to
the Teller house and fired bullet
through the door.
He had smashed in a panel of the
door when young Teller, from an up
per story window, told him to GO
away. His answer was to try to aim
at the youth, so the latter says, but
he was not quick enough. Teller fired
the contents of double barrelled
shotgun at him, mortally wounding
him. He died without making any
statement. Young Feller was brought
to Hudson by his father and placed
in the custody Of the sheriff.
The dead man came to Linlithgo two
years ago from New Rochelle. He was
forty-five years of age and was con-
sidered the richest man in the village.

rock in this vicinity. He bought up

Noted Actor Will Appear In THE
Merry Wives Of Windsor"
STRANGE SIGNIFICANCE TO MINERAL 3
GENERAL MANAGER WALLACE
MONRO POINTS OUT A
STRANGE COINCIDENCE

Last season I made a statement
relative to the strange significance of
the mineral three in recording the i'm
portant events in theatrical history,
said Wallace Munro, general manager
for Louis James, who is here consum-
mating arrangements for his stars
Windsor at the Keylor Grand, Friday,
October 18th. "Well in compiling data
for Mr.. James production this year,
was astonished to note that by a
strange coincidence this same numeral
is conspicuously in evidence all through
the life and events of Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare was born
April 23rd, lived SO years, wrote 81
plays and died April 23rd.
HE went to London to establish a
residence there when he was % years
of age, but he only remained there
three years.
HE married Anne Hathaway who
was the third sweetheart to whom he
was engaged and was father to three
children:-Susannah, Hamlet and Ju-
dith.
His wife died in 1923 after an ILL
ness said to have been Of 33 days dur
alton.
His first published play was "Titus
Andronicus" in 1893.
"The first complete edition of his
plays was printed in 1923, the second
in 1882, and the third in 1868.
"Theobolds complete Shakespeare
1878.
"The patent granted by James 1st at
ing at the Globe Theater in London,
was issued to William Shakespeare,
and bears the date of 1903.
'In 1913 this same theater was
burned down. thus the home of
Shakespearian was destroyed with TIE
inevitable three singularly in evidence
and Queen Elizabeth 1.-THE Protect
ress of art and letters" died when
Shakespeare was 80 years Of age.
"Mr. James with characteristic fidel-
| ity to the lucky three, afrnls that this
the third time he has appeared in
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" the
first time as Pistol to the 'F.slstaff' of

OPERATED ON TWO,
NEAR DEATH HIMSELF
Heroic Surgeon, Though In Agony From
Appendicitis, Saved Sufferers
From Same Disease.

A unique case of herOism was recorded
when Professor Baron Eiselberg, the
noted surgeon of Vienna university,
after performing two difficult opera
ticns for appendicitis, ordered the op-
Grating table cleared again and an
nounced himself as the third patient
1t was learned after the operation
had been successfully performed that
Professor Eiselberg had for days sus-
pected that he was suffering from the
disease which he had done so much to
arrest in others and had been system
atically examining his own symp-
toms. One night the famous surgeon
was suffering greatly from appendi-
citis in an advanced stage. He decided
that an operation was necessary early
the next morning.
When he reached the operating room
he found two difficult and dangerous
cases awaiting him. Although suffer
ing great agony, the surgeon performed
both operations with his usual bril-
liancy and success. Then he quietly
announced that he was a victim of the
same disease and asked that the table
be prepared for him.
The professors assistants, who were
deeply moved, fastened to comply with
his request, and the operation was sue
cessful.
Professor Fiselberg appeared to view
the entire proceedings as a matter of
course and appeared greatly annoyed
when his associates insisted that he
was a hero and had risked his own life
to save others. He declared that it
was merely part of the days work.
He will recover.
