TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG.
Big Bird Killed in Virginia-Super-
stitions of Long Shore Hunters.

From Forest and Stream.
In most communities there are certain
persons who possess peculiar characters
of the long shore sportsman of the old
Mother State as Of persons dwelling else
where.
Many of the old-time sportsmen still carry
and use their muzze loading guns. which
cannot be displaced by more modern arms.
They usually manage to bag good many
birds and other game, and this Is chiefly
due ii Is believed, to their knowledge of the
habits OF the game. They seldom go out
without finding something.
A story Is told of one gunner who II any
of the shot should fall from his hands while
loading his gun Will at once return home
and make no further effort to hunt that
day. believing. as he says, that those LOST
were his luck shot. and 1t would be useless
for him to continue the hunt.
Another whom / VIII call here capt Pete.
is a sailor and all-around sportsman. lie
loves to tell OF his adventures with his dogs
and gun and Is seldom seen without them.
He tells many stories about the accuracy or

FOUR YEARS ON ICE.
Deserted 800 Miles From Nearest
White Settlement.

Broekton tMass) correspondent of the Chicago
Inter-OceaB.
Marooned IN the arctic region, with only
the Eskimos for company for four long
years. George B. Cleveland. who Is visiting
here tells an interesting story of his exper-
fences He Is the superintendent of the
whaling and trading station established at
Foxtown bay, north of the arctic circle, on
Hudson bay, by the Robert Kennis Com
pany of Dundee, Scotland. and has under
his charge 800 natives trapping the wolver-
| Inc. polar bear. silver fox and other fur
bearing animals. With modern boats and
appliances he Is making great success or
the post.
1t was when Cleveland went north In 1899
| to locate trading post for New Bed
ford syndicate that his worst experiences
took place. After the first year he was de-
serted 1890 miles from the nearest white
settlement and left to make his way back
as best he could. He was compelled to join
the E.si1imos, and for four years remained
with them, dressing In skins. living in tho
Ice huts and eating raw meats and fish.
During this time he acquired the native Ian
guage. Constantly travelling from place to
place and treated member of the tribe.
he lost much of his civilized life, and when
one day a Scotch whaler was sighted and
Cleveland went aboard and met a white
man he could scarcely speak his native
tongue and was nauseated by the cooked
food set before him. 1t took him month
to regain his haDitual case as civilized
man.
From this meeting with the Scotchmen
came his employment later as superintend-
ent of their station. which he has brought
to success since then.
But It is his abandonment of which Mr..
Cleveland speaks with much feeling. Il
came bact to see my people and to secure
redress for the manner In which | was de-
serted in those snow wastes" says Mr..
Cleveland. IF there is a law in Gods coun-
try ] am going to have justice. When.
went away 1t was under a written contract
with the New Bedford people to serve five
years. with the provision that they should
send a ship and provide me with food and
ammunition once year. A company OF
New Bedford men fitted up the steam whal-
ing ship Francis Allen. and 1 located
whaling station on Hudson bay. and was
left there. The ship was to return In i
year but, owing to the unprofitableness
of the venture. It never returned and after
my provisions were exhausted distributed
my rifles among the Eskimos and Joined
them"
Mr.. Cleveland says his case Is now In the
hands of New Bedford lawyer. who is
going to sue for redress. Mr.. Cleveland IS
now on a six months furlough. and is to
start back to his trading station soon.

TO 60 TO CONFERENCE
RATE BILL TO BE TAKEN FROM

The railroad rate bin will be taken from
the Speakers table tomorrow and seat to.
conference. This action has been decided
on by Representative Hepburn, chsirman
Of the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. The delay 50 far In taxing this
action has been caused By q desire on tho
Part OF republican leaders to reach IN

NOUS vote, making unnecessary the bring
ing in of a special rule.

There is no particular objection on tho

ing the size of the commission will be adj

ferees.
Since the rate bill was received by tho
House many conferences have been held be-
tween the majority and minority leaders re-
iating to Its final disposition. The final ono
took place today between Chairman Hem

conclusion that nothing could be done IN tho
