the machine and calling for more
sheaves of the wheat.
Hurry up, boys! Let's get this job
done. | am beating you to it," he
laughingly shouted as Mcdonald and
two helpers renewed efforts to over
whelm him with the bound grain.
Gulick turned to look at Mcdonald,
took step forward and tripped. Some
say rope caught his foot. At all
events, he plunged head foremost into
the machine.
He screamed as he fell. The horror
stricken men working with him stood
helplessly by.
Gulick threw out his arm as he de-
scended. This was first caught by the
grinding burrs. Slowly he was drawn
into the machinery, screaming.
Each succeeding revolution of the
wheels brought him closer and closer
to his death, and with each inch of APP
proach to the awful opening his
screams grew more frantic.
His arm was crushed to the wrist,
the elbow, the shoulder, and then the
head was drawn in and his face and
scalp torn and mutilated beyond recog-
milton.
Overcoming the paralysis Of terror,
Mcdonald and his helpers shut off the
engine and stopped the thresher and
set to work to release Gulick, now I'M
conscious. So tightly was he wedged
in between the disks that it required
half an hours work to dislodge his
mangled body.
He was still breathing when taken
out and was hurried to hospital, but
all hope of saving his life was aban-
doned by the surgeons as soon as they
saw his condition. He died soon after
reaching the hospital.

1.-The Union of Crete with
Greece Is DeCreed.

London-In the ancient capital
of Tirnovo the Independence of
Bulgaria was proclaimed Monday, with
the car of the Bulgarians as ruler.
Car of the Bulgarians is recognized
to mean more than car of Bulgaria,
because it is distinct intimation
that he regards his country as having
sovereignty over all the people OF
that blood in the east.
Within a day or two Austria-Hun-
gary, which has been working with
Prince Ferdinand in this preconcerted
plan, will proclaim the new status OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The question, which has been stir
ring the whole of Europe more deeply
than any similar question in the men,
DRY of the present generation is, does
it mean war? From all the capitals
come reports indicating that it means,
first OF all, another European congress
of the signers of the treaty of Berlin
to consider the situation and probably
to revise the treaty.
Turkey May Avoid War.
Turkey, caught in moment of
weakness, is the victim of this situa-
ton, and while some internal animosi-
ties have been stirred up, probably no
power is willing to make war. Reports
from the emancipated Turkish press
to London indicate that the Young
Turks will swallow this bitter pill

was alone on the street. When 1 looked
in the yard again nothing was there.
"The disappearance of the man was
so sudden it started me thinking, and
then recalled that in the house near
by Alexander Sutherland was shot and
killed by his wife. l can tell you my
hair stood on end and did not lnger

The next day 1 told my brother Char
ley of the experience, but he didn't
take any stock in it. He does now,
though, because he was with me last
Thursday night, or rather Friday
morning, and saw something of the
same sort"
Charley, who was with his brother
when the story was told, verified the
account of the latest occurrence. The
two brothers were bound home after
midnight and when near the Suther-
land house heard a Gathering noise.
Both were pretty much frightened, be-
cause the noise was similar to to
Freds description of what he heard
preceding the first apparition. To.
gether they looked where he had previ-

Nothing was there. Then his brother
seized his arm and exclaimed:
Look there, back by the barn"
The form of man was seen moving
out of the space between two houses.
The two men were so nervous they
did not examine it closely enough ia
describe accurately it's appearance,
they say, but in general way it an.
swered to the description of the man
previously seen by Fred. 1t stood still

France; the AustroHungarian, the
British, the American and the Italian
ambassadors, and of active exchanges
which have been going on between
the various cabinets. 1t was an
nounced that France, Great Britain,
Russia and possibly Italy were pre-
pared to act in unison to preserve
peace and to call conference of the
signatories of the Berlin treaty to deal
automatically with the situation that
has arisen between Turkey and Bull
garia and to harmonize conflicting in
terests so that fresh complications
may be avoided.
Bulgaria Declares independence.
Sofia, Observation-Disclosures, a tribu-
tary principality under the suzerainty
of the sultan of Turkey, Monday pro-
claimed her independence Of Turkey.
This action was taken at Tirnovo by
Prince Ferdinand, who was elected
prince of Bulgaria in 1887. The Bull
garian cabinet was present with the
prince, having met Sunday at the
frontier and journeyed with him to
Tirnovo.
The proclamation was made at the
cathedral of Tinovo at II o'clock Mon
day. 1t was a dramatic scene, accom-
panied by much enthusiasm. A mani
festo of independence addressed to the
nation was subsequently issued by the
prince.
Tirnovo is the ancient capital of the
kingdom of Bulgaria, and it was there
in the olden days that the kings of
Bulgaria were crowned.
Crete Unites with Greece.
Canea, Island of Crete.-A decree
announcing the union Of Crete with
Greece was published here Wednes
day evening. Events leading up to the
climax followed each other throughout
the day with dramatic rapidity.
The town was bedecked and early
in the morning people began tlocking
in from all directions. There was
much firing of guns and revolvers,
with plenty of cheering, but perfect
order prevailed. Mussulmans mingled
with Christians freely and unmolested.
At two o'clock in the afternoon a
great demonstration in favor of union
with Greece occurred ON the military
review grounds. More than 100000
people, one of the largest crowds ever
seen here, gathered at this place.
Greek Flag Is Raised.
Ton thousand men marched sing
ing and shouting to the various con-
sulates, leaving at each of them a
written copy of the resolutions adopt
ed. They then surged to the
governors palace and lowered the flag
of Crete, raising the Greek flag in its
place. The flags on all the public
buildings were similarly replaced by
the flag of Greece. With incessant
and wild cheering for the union, the
great procession made it's way to the
fortress, where Greek flag also was
sent up to the top of the Flagstaff, but
the French troops insisted upon lower
ing it. and unfurled the flag of Crete
and those of the four protecting
powers.
This angered the populace and for
a time there was serious danger OF
disturbances, but the leaders finally
succeeded in restoring order.
A special issue of the government
journal was distributed at five o'clock
containing the decree signed by fNe
councillors.
