''My neighbors call it the Merry

This is the statement which James.

made in regard to the summer home.
he recently completed for himself a
short distance beyond Chevy Chase
lake. And the name is very appro-
priate,'' said Mr.. Parsons, .sfor the
broad caves have the appearance of
a big straw hat set on top of the,
house. But there is a good purpose
served by those broad caves, for they
help to keep the house cool and COM
Portable, and that is the principal OBJ
ject to be sought in a summer home.
Everything about the house was
planned with the idea of summer COM
fort. The windows are wide, and
there are plenty Of them. The doors
also are wide, and they are so ar
ranged that, no matter in what direc-
ton the wind may be blowing. the
doors may be opened to let the breeze
blow through the rest Of the house
"On the first floor everything is
level including the porch floor, which
is on plane with that of the rooms,
and there are not even doorsills 6, er
which one may trip. Another novel
idea which has been introduced into
the house is that of having all the
doors high, extending almost to the
ceiling. This keeps the hot air which
rises in room from bagging near the
ceiling and warming the air of the en-
tire room"
The house contains wide entrance
hall, living room, dining room, kitchen
and pantry on the first floor and five
rooms and bath on the second floor,
with servants room and large attic
room on the third floor. The founda-
ton is of concrete and the upper part

OFFICERS FIGHT A
BATTLE With MOB
Two Killed and Nine Wounded
as Result Of Clash.

Pensacola, Fla, July 30.-Two men
killed and nine wounded, some of
them fatally, is the result of the clash
between a mob bent upon lynching
Leander Shaw, a negro, and the sher-
if and his forces, in which the mob
finally overpoWered the authorities.
The lynching was carried out in the
most prominent park of this city.
Shaw assaulted Mrs. Lillian Davis,
a highly respected lady, near this city
during the absence of her husband
and, after cutting her throat almost
from ear to ear, dubbed her over the
head with a revolver which he had
taken from the house.
When it became known that the ne
gro had been arrested crowds began
forming upon the streets and later
they were reinforced by large mum
bers of men from the country The
mob formed about 8 o'clock in the
evening and made an attack on the
county jail, where the negro was con
fined. The jail gate was broken down
by the mob and the sheriff and his
deputies opened fire. Three men
dropped with the first volley from the
sheriff's force, who were using Win
chester rifles and shotguns. Volley
after volley was then fired by the
mob and the sheriff's force, but the
mob was repulsed.
About midnight another attack was
made, the mob having been. Increased
to 1000 determined men. The sec.
ond attack was successful, for the
reason that it was made upon all
sides of the jail One party forced
it's way through the rear, overpowered
the officers and secured the trembling
negro.
A moose was slipped about his neck
and after being dragged for ten blocks
he was strung up to an electric light
pole in the center Of the park, where
fully 1900 bullets riddled his body.

Campbell has arrived at Michel from

save the property of the Sparwood
Lumber company, half way between
Michel and Fernie. but without avail.
They were at once taken to the hos
pital, two of them in a precarious caa-
dition. Mr.. Forester, manager of the
mill, with his wife and about thirty
men, were last seen trying to save
the mill. A line of flame cut them

they have been able to get through

the party found the body of Pete
Miller lying on the Canadian Pacific
tracks. He had evidently succumhed
to burns received while trying to es-
cape from the fire, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. The bodies of
four other men were brought here by
Great Northern yard engine These
men had lost their lives trying to save
the Great Northern bridge across the
Elk river. fifteen miles south of Mi
chel. They had kept up the fight
until their retreat was cut off and all
lost their lives in the vain attempts.
The Great Northern tried to open
communications to the south, but the
destruction of two bridges has cut
them off absolutely.

on my hands and knees up steep
path to sort of shelf on the cliff. On
the other side of the shelf was sheer
drop of forty feet down to the pool.

snake startled me. Naturally jumped
to my feet, exhausted as was, but
dropped my fishing rod The coiled
RATHER was within two feet of me and

Either I had to get down on my
hands and knees again or jump forty
feet into the pool. As I saw the dia-
mond head Of the snake draw back to
strike | decided and jumped. just as
sprang the rattler struck. I had
pair of moccasins on my feet, and the
fangs of the snake fastened in the
one nearest him. AS went down I
remember seeing the snake flying over
the other side of the pool It's fangs
had caught, and had carried it with
me. Just what happened in the second
or two after struck the water in my
dive Of forty feet don't know. Fortu-
nately the pool was fairly deep. AS
