Princeton, n. ]. Jan. 3.-The water

Pennsylvania railroad.
'Our property must be protected.
The level of the lake is three feet high
err than that of the canal. Before the
lake was built we had great deal
of trouble after a hard rain, but now
if it rained for any length of time, the
lake would overflow into the canal and
would flood the streets of Trenton.
What good will the lake do this win

You know, and l know, that it was
built for a speculation; that the men
who owned land whereabouts were
afraid of losing money, and they In

KILLS -FOUR .COUGERS
John Durant Makes Great Record But
May Lose Bounty Because Of Mis-
take in Skinning.

To kill four cOugerS and wound a
fifth after firing five shots at inter-
walls of about three seconds is the
phenomenal record made by Forest
Ranger John Durant several days ago
in the woods above Kooski on the
Selway TRAIL says the Lewiston Teller.
Supervisor C. M. Day. who is in the
city from Kooskia today, tells this
story of Mr.. Durant's adventure:
Johnnie is one of our most trusted
rangers, and is at the present time
working on the Selway trail in COM
pany with seven other men. One
morning, while on his way to work
from the camp, he came across deer
which had been recently killed by the
cougars.
HE dismounted and laid in wait
but a few moments, when mother
cougar and four smaller animals APP
peared, returning to complete their
carnivorous feast. Durant is an ex-
cellent marksman, and in less than a
minute after their appearance, four
of the animals lay dead in their tracks
while the fifth, the mother, escaped
with a bullet hole in her shoulder,
probably to die in seclusion in another
part of the forest"
The bounty law, passed by the last
legislature, awarding SIS to the per-
son killing a cougar, and demanding
that the left forearm of the animal
be left in the hide while skinning, was
forgotten by Durant while SHINING
the cougars, and he has forfeited the
money which he would otherwise have
received.
1t is the intention of Supervisor Day
in company with Game Warden Har.
baugh, to present sworn statement
to the legislature to the effect that
the killing of the cougars was boni
fide, and in that manner secure for
Mr. Durant the $50 rightfuly due him
The hides of tn cougars were brought
to Kooskia:

WHISPERS HOLD MAN.
Catches Beard in Crack of Log He Is
Chopping.

STAR LAKE, Mimi, Jan. 3.-John
Mjellele lost most luxuriant beard
of which he was reasonably proud, in
a peculiar accident while chopping
wood.
He was splitting out cord wood and
his ak became fastened. He tried to
wrench it out, but being unable to do
so stopped down to get better lever
age on the AK. He finally worked it
out of the split in the log, but as it
flew out the pieces of wood closed
upon his beard, holding him pris-
oner.
He tried gently to draw the beard
from the crack, but each movement
served only to increase the pain
caused by the tenseness of the hair.
He attempted to get his fingers into
the crevice in the log, thinking that
by the exertion of his full strength he
might loosen his beard. Again he was
foiled. his whiskers holding him so
tight that he was unable to reach the
end of the log where the crack was
widest.
He could not stand erect, nor yet sit
down without causing himself the
most exquisite pain, the only position
in which he could ease up the beard
being a kneeling one beside the log.
Mjellele knelt by the log for sew
eral hours hoping some one would
come along and release him, but final
ly, hearing the dinner horn, he de-
cided to sacrifice the beard, and TAX
ing out his jackknife severed it as
neatly as possible, close to the chin.

Salt Lake City.-By a decision Of
Judge Riner of the federal court OF
appeals. the Highland Boy, United
States and Bingham Consolidated
shelters are enjoined perpetually
from emitting the smoke and fumes
that have, according to hundreds OF
plaintiffs in Salt Lake county, ruined
husbandry in the region of Murray
and Bingham Junction.
The suits have been pending for
nearly two years. BY a decision Of
Judge Marshal, in the federal court
OF Utah. early this year, the smelters
named above were enjoined from
emitting the deleterious smoke com.
planned of. An appeal from this de-
cision was taken to the United States
court Of appeals and argument was
heard at st. Paul last May.
According to utter received from
the clerk of the court by Judge An

Riner was filed last Monday and af.
