ATTACHED BY ANGRY BULL.
Two Young Women Frightened and
Injured by Ferocious Animal.

Chased by an angry bull, Misses
Phoebe Polhemus and Jessie Cava-
naugh tried to take refuge In tree
in their uncle's pasture, near jack
sonville, N. j. Miss Polhemus was
climbing a small birch, when she
felt the tree shaking violently and
fell.
The girl landed upon the back of
the bull, which she clutched as q
drowning man clutches at plank.
The animal bounded off across the
uneven ground, carrying her quar-
ter of mile before it stumbled and
fell, throwing Miss Polhemus over
it's head.
The shock that had shaken Miss
Polhemus out of the tree was caused
by Miss Cavanaugh being tossed by
the bull into the branches. When
Farmer Cavanaugh rushed to the as
sistance of his nieces, he found Jes-
sic hanging from limb by her
skirts. The girls were hysterical.
Miss Cavanaugh was badly bruised,
and will be kept to her bed for sew
eral days. t

ATTACKED BY FLAMES
Portland and saftlmore Suffer Big
Losses From Fire.
For Second Time Within Week Same
Two Cities Give Strenuous Battle
to the Fire Fiend.
Two Cities

A dispatch from Portland Me-,
says a fire of undetermined origin
started early today in the brick
block, Nos. 1874 to 166 Middle street,
occupied by Milliken, Cousens & Co.,
wholesale drygoods, and A. F. Cox &:
Co., wholesale boots and shoes.
After a desperate fight Of more
than three hours the combined fire
departments of Portland, Biddeford,
Lewiston and Bath had the situation
we'll in hand when the flames broke
out anew and before they could be
checked, had gained such rapid head
way that the men found themselves
again helpless and in order to save
the remnant Of the business section,
summoned aid from Boston.
The fire, it is estimated, at eight
O'Clock Monday morning, had done
damage of more than S1,000,000.
The burning block is in the very
center of the downtown wholesale
district. a heavy rain shortly after
midnight gave the fire fighters great
aid and it was thought the flames
were under control when suddenly
out of the binding smoke a great
tongue of fire shot up and five min
utes later the entire side was in
flames.
Fire in Baltimore.
A dispatch from Baltimore under
date of Modnay says fire is raging in
the immense tanks of the Standard
Oil Company at FIRST avenue and
Fifth street, in the south eastern
portion of the city. Thousands OF
gallons of oil have already been
burned. The fire threatens the large
refinery and other property nearby

BRYAN "A WINNER.
Henry Watterson Says He viii
Be Nominated and Elected.
Thinks Gov. Hughes, of New York,
is the Only Republican, Who Can
Defeat the Great Commoner.

Bryan is as good as nominated. :"
Gust so sure as the convention Of
the Democratic party meets in Den
yer next July Bryan will be named as
the standard pearer or the party"
eff the country remains in it's pres
ent condition Of unrest, Bryan will
be elected
Governor Hughes is the only can
didate the Republican party can
name who could defeat Bryan under
normal conditions" ."
These quotations express the lat
est opinions Of Henry Watterson, the
famous editor Of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. and are part of an in
terview with him while in Washing
ton recently.
The fact that Col. Watterson has
been leading the fight against Bryan's
nomination by the Democratic party,
makes his utterances significant.
1T is too late to defeat Bryan for
the nomination" said Col. Waiter
son. Had I been given six months
ago the support of those Democrats,
who are now clamoring for another
nominee, we might have accomplish
ed something.
when I suggested that If Bryan
were to withdraw from the contest,
I could name a man who measured
up to all the requirements, good.
winning Democratic candidate for
president. When 1 named him md
found that he possessed all the quail
ifications I claimed for him, some
Democrats gave me credit for hav-
ing some perspicuity is now too late.
Then followed the quotations made
above.
81 am not personally unfriendly
to Mr.. Bryan" said Col. Watterson.
ION the contrary, like him. ard l
am convinced that il the country re-
mains in it's present state of unrest.
Bryan will be the victor in the next
election. Gov. Hughes is the only
man the Republicans could name
who would have a chance to defeat
the candidate of the Democrats, how
ever he may be and with the coun-
try in a normal state he would prob
ably be elected. But / repeat, If the
country remains in a state of unrest,
victory will perch on the banner OF
the Democrats IN the national cleo
tion next November.
"Wto appears to you to be in the
lead, so far as the Republican nomi-
nation is concerned?" Col. Waiter
son was asked.
"If Taft is not nominated on the
first ballot, Gov. Hughes will he
chosen on the second" was the
laconic responce.
What about the senatorship out
in Kentucky-would you become a
compromise candidate, If Gov. Beck
ham is not elected?"
81 would not come to Washington
to take the oath of office II certl-
ficate of election were handed to
me-" replied Col. Watterson. t

LOCKER CLUBS
Over in Georgia Will Be Put Out
of Business.
United States Judge Speer Rules that
Each Member of Them Must Pay
Twenty-Five Dollars License.


A. dispatch from Savannah, Ga, to
the Augusta Chronicle says "trou-
BILE of a deep nature is looming ahead
for the locker clubs of Georgia
those GASES in the desert into which
the prohibition have converted the
State, and unto which those who are
sore at thirst are wont to wend their
way.
This trouble is not that which is
lurking in the approaching session of
the legislature, but it awaits the
clubs in the term Of the United
States court for the Southern district
of Georgia, which is to convene in
Savannah on February 20. Judge
Emory Speer sounded the docket for
the term. He will return to hold
court beginning February 20.
ASKED about the status Of the
locker clubs in Georgia, Judge Speer
caused surprise when he said that
he would charge the United States
grand jury that the clubs are con-
Quoted in opposition to the statute
requiring that each place where IL
quor is sold or dealt in in any way
shall pay a. license of SIS to the fed
eral government Each and every
member of the clubs, said Judge
Speer Is, under the law, liable for
such license. He is required to
take out such a license and to post
in a conspicuous place.
THUS far the members in no case
have complied with the law, and the
judge says he will charge the jury to
investigate this omission. This, of
course, means the death Of locker
clubs.
Judge Speer said the impression
prevails up the State that 10 Savan-
nah jury would take cognizance of
failures to observe the prohibition
law. This, he is not inclined to be-
lieve, he said, for he had found Sa-
vannah citizens ever ready to do their
duty as jurors.
However, the judge naively con-
tirued, that if he found it necessary
he might call upon the sturdy yeo-
many Of Bullock, Emanuel, Screw
en- and other neighboring counties to
come to his aid in enforcing the law.
1T was quite evident that Judge
Speer was fully informed Of the ra-
pii mushroom growth Of locker
clubs in Savannah" t

SHE FOOLED HIM.
A Georgia Farmer Who Had Faith
in a Faker's Story.

In q Faker's Story.
A special to The Augusta Chron-
icle says a Russell county farmer
claims to have lost S45 by consult
ing q clarivoyant in Columbus, Ga.
Slaughter had barn Of his burn
ed some weeks since, and came to the
clairvoyant to find out who fired the
structure. He was told that in ten
days he would be told, and the
mind reader" incidentally inform
ed him that gold was to be found
on his land. He paid down S45 with
the agreement that he would be told
in ten days exactly where to locate
the gold. He returned when the ten
days were up, but the clairvoyant
had fled.

who was wont to rouse his wife and

call out: Maria, get up, get NJ

HAD TO DISTINGUISH HIMSELF.
Jimmie Simply Reversed the Order of
His Activities.

The teacher In the kindergarten
gave a little talk on helping mother"
explaining that children who were al
most six years old could at least dress
themselves. A number Of children told
what they had done in the way OF dry
ing dishes, etc. All this seemed to i'm.
press little Jimmie very much. The
next morning he proudly announced
In the circle. Il dessed myself dis
mornin'." OF course Jimmie received
the highest praise and other children
were urged TO go and do likewise. The
next day Jimmie again announced Il
dessed myself dis mornin'," and so
proud was he that at every frequent
intervals during the morning he tri'
imphantly repeated this. So it con-
tinued on the third day. until the
teacher answered that she was very
glad to hear It, but thought that
boy who was big enough to dress him
self ought to be able to sit quiet with
out interrupting so often. Jimmie,
however. continued to inform the
kindergarten at every possible mo-
ment that Il dessed myself dis morn
in" Finally the teacher told him
that If he interrupted again he would
have to leave the circle. Jimmie soon
forgot and the teacher sent him be-
hind a screen in the corner. A minute
later the principal entered with
visitor and was surprised to see little
head poked out from behind the
screen. The teacher explained and the
principal, crossing the room. pushed
the screen TO one side. To her horror
there stood Jimmie with not even his
shirt on. Il didn't dess myself dis
time" he said tearfully, Il undessed
myself"
