Chicago, Aug. 2o.-In a fight be-
tween white and black dock laborers
today, five men we're injured and the
police only restored order after the
free use OF clubs and by threats to
shoot. The feeling against negro Ia
borers reached climax today, and
when some whites declared that they
would not work with negroes, quar-
rel resulted.
Patrol wagons filled with policemen
rushed to the docks. The policemen
charged the rioters, and arrested a
few blacks and whites.

GIRLS HEROIC DEED.
Sucks Poison from Hand Bitten by
Gla Monster.

New York-Frank Gillian, an at
tendant at the Children's museum.
Bedford park, Brooklyn, is back at
work after six weeks in a hospital,
with the knowledge that he owes his
life to the promptness and bravery Of
Miss Mary Day Lee, formerly of Rich
mond, Va.
Six weeks ago Gillian was cleaning
out the cage which is occupied by the
ella monster in the museum when the
venomous reptile bit him. It's teeth
were buried in Gillian's hand, and he
was forced to pry it's jaws apart Gill
lian at once bathed his hand in alco-
hol, and then Miss Lee lacerated the
hand with a sharp knife and, applying
her lips to the wound, sucked out
the poison. In spite of her prompt
action Gillian's hand at once began to
sweTl and he was rushed to q hos
pital, where he was forced to remain
for six weeks. The bite of the ella
monster is usually deadly and the
surgeons say it was only Miss Lees
promptness that saved Gillian's life.
Now the reptile is dying, not from
the effects of the bite, but because 1t
is unable to stand the cold northern
winter,

cannot break into the Republican
party with crowbar. And this be-
cause Of the attitude of Representative
Pete" Hepburn, chairman Of the Re-
publican caucus, who repudiates Por.
ter and declares that he Is not a Re.
publican. Mr.. Porter declares that he
is not Democrat, and so the man
who polled 25,S37 votes in nominally
Republican district finds himself in
Washington a political outcast.
When the Congressional Directory
came from the printers hands last
January it contained an unofficial list
of the present congress. The names
Of the Republicans were printed in
roman types and the names of the
Democrats in italics. To Mr.. Porter's
amazement and disgust he found that
his name was printed in italics. When
he arrived in Washington he started
to have 1t corrected. He approached
the clerk of the house and was in
formed that while he would be permit.
ted to submit whatever biography he
desired, he could not appear as a Re-
publican without the consent of the
chairman Of the Republican caucus
Then it was that Peter Porter ap.
preached pete" Hepburn.
The Iowa colonel was wrathy. He
lit into Porter and allowed that Wads.
worth was the straight Republican
candidate and that the gentleman sue
ceeding him was no more Republican
than a rabbit. To this Mr.. Porter re-
piled by showing how many Republi-
can votes he received, recited his long
allegiance to the party and told of the
fondness the president had for him.
There was much more argument, but
1t fell on deaf ears. Colonel "Pete's"
word goes and Mr.. Porter is the one
member who has no brand, but must
go all through the session as "mav-
erick."
When John Sharp Williams heard
of the trouble he came Hospitality for
ward and invited Peter Porter to join
the Democracy, an invitation which
was rejected, and now the member
from the Thirty-fourth New York is
floating in political airship. He will
have difficulties concerning committee
assignments, for he cannot expect to
draw any Republican vacancies, and,
having declined to enter the Demo
cratic caucus, he has no claim upon
the seats doled out to the minority.
It is certainly predicament for
Peter A. Porter 1t is interesting to
the observer, too, for 1t may be that a
lifelong Republican will be compelled
to sit through an entire session of
congress without party and without
committee.

in the attempt. Before leaving he
placed pot of Cruel by Hardy's bunk
and said he would be back at sun
down.
But Sanford failed to return, either
at dusk or the following morning, and
Hardy became semi-delirious through
worry and lack of nourishment. He
was too weak to leave his bunk, and
all that day he lay hoping against
hope that his partner would enter the
cabin and end the terrible strain un-
der which he was laboring. Night fell
with no signs of Sanford, and Hardy
fell into a sleep brought on by ex-
hauStion.
The man was aroused before day
light next morning by voices, and next
instant two strangers opened the door
of the cabin and entered. Few words
were wasted. Hardy explained briefly,
cruel was cooked, and then the men
set off on hunt for Sanford. One OF
the strangers, trapper named Smith
son, told the rest of the story when he
reached here.
"We took map drawn by Hardy's
direction and got into the timber as
soon as possible" he said. NOW and
then we shouted or fired gun, but we
got no response for nearly three
hours, when we thought we heard a
faint call from about the center of the
Gut. We located the sound as best
we could, and pushing on, shortly came
upon Sanford. l shall never forget
the sight. The mans one arm was
caught above the elbow by the power

tnurned his face to us he looked
CHASTITY.
CAS- / remember it, the man didn't
say word until after we had liberat-
ed him, and then he began to jabber
as though he wan crazy. And l guess
he was temporarily, but after we had
stripped him and rubbed his back and
legs so that he could walk and had
given him food and water, he became
rational. Little by little we got the
story out of him.
"He said that he had spread the trap
and was placing the bait on 1t when
the catch-cog slipped and the trap
nipped him. The teeth sunk into the
flesh and for time he was dizzy from
pain. Later on his arm became numb

there were number of greaades
which Col. Johnson had sent when
he heard of the intended approach of
the hostile forces.
1t was the intention of the French
to seize the guards of the fort and
enter without firing shot, but the APP

the English, and the guards rushed
into the fort and closed the gates The
English commander was summoned to
surrender with the promise of quar-
ter. He replied with a round of mus

French obtained possession of the
portfolios and fired through them at

The gate was cut down within the
hour and the French rushed in and put
to the sword every one they could lay
their hands upon. One woman and
few soldiers escaped. The French
were about to throw the store of gun
powder into the river when one of the
magazines caught fire and exploded.
Two of the invaders were killed. The

Besides Fort Stanwix and Fort

of the others have been obliterated.

capture.

TRAGIC STORY OF HARDSHIP
Partner Of Victim III in Bed and Tn.

Finally Liberated by Pair
of Strangers,

Ignace, Ont.-The trapping season
has developed one tragic story of
hardship The tale comes from the far
belt, a hundred-odd miles from the
north, and is one of the most peculiar
brought here in recent years by woods
men,
Early in September Ben Hardy, an
old-time trapper, took as his partner
for the season Hendy Sanford,
short and stockily built one-armed
man, who, in spite of the fact that
he is crippled, is one of the best
hunters in this region. For 80 years
Sanford has made his living shooting
and trapping, and has been so success
full that he has had no difficulty in
finding partner each fall. He is par.
ticularly expert in locating game and
enticing it to the traps. He is said
to possess valuable secrets for decoy-
ing wild animals, being the originator
of formula which, when placed on
bait, is irresistible to carnivora.
The men established a camp about
halfway between Cat and Pach-Hoom
lakes, on the west bank of the Cat
river, and set out line of light and
heavy traps. From the first they were
successful, and had taken many fine
fur-bearing animals, when Hardy was
taken i'll of fever and was obliged
to lay up. This threw the entire bur-
den on Sanford and forced him to
set traps, the one labor difficult to him
to accomplish because of his lack of
two hands.
Hardy begged his companion to
leave the large traps alone, but one
morning when signs of bears were
seen in Indian Gut, dried river bed,
three miles from camp, Sanford set
out with big spring trap with the
declaration that he would set it or die

he had any chance of election. He
