A BATTLE ROYAL
Moose Fight FOR the Championship Of
the Wilderness.

the Wilderness.
An hour, it seemed. the two
moose had battled. neither appear
ing to gam a point Of advantage.
Their sides showed red gashes from
the savage ripping of horn points.
Their eyes we're redeemed. and
there was crimson In the fecks Of
froth that few from their nostriIs.
The bog was chnrned into a black
slough Of muck beneath them. The
first streaks Of dawn were showing
when-was it fate. luck or the bet
ter strategy of the newcomer?-
the advantage of position was taken
from Bilhorn's stag.
Now the newcomer could stand
of a locomotive. He could even
recover a measure of his wind.
while his opponent must continue
to weaken. And the effect soon
told. Suddenly he seemed to gather
himself together and bring all his
great force Of bone and muscle into
one grand, hercuIean effort, and
Bilhorn's bull slipped backward.
His adversary was actually forcing
bog and all back with him. the
spongy mass soughing up behind
his helpless launches. This was a
dangerous turn in the fray. He
realized it and struggled to gain
"a stay somewhere, anywhere, but
there was nothing to hold to. Back,
back. be settled on his launches
until he was driven squareIy over
on his broad side. hopelessly out of
action. terribly at the mercy of his
foe. who horned him brutally again
and again until sheer lack of
breath forced him to draw back for
an instant.
Up from the redeemed slough
the vanquished beast STAGGERED.
fearful spectacle. Not an instant
did he falter. but. with his dark life
blood pouring from his sides. drove
straight at his enemy again. The
rest is soon told. As the dying stag
came on blindly he stumbled and
fell squarely on the lowered antIers
of his conqueror. ViciousIy the
standing bull strove to extricate
his horns from beneath the heavy
body of his victim, but he was
pinned fast.
Then came the spectacular finish
of this battle. worthy of the most
eyacting Roman arena. Slowly but
surely the victor began to lift the
huge form of the fallen stag until
with one mighty upward sweep he
hurled it fairly over his back, where
it struck on the rock with sicken-
ing thud and fell at its base,
quivering, shapeless mass of man
Sled ileSh and bone. The victor
wheeled and gazed for a moment
1T the quiet form.
To the trembling, painting figure
of the man on the rock he paid no
heed. Satisfied that his adversary
would trouble him no more, he
turned and with heavy swinging
strides went back into the swamp
from which he had come. Thus
fell the king of the Allagash, not
from any cunning or craft of puny
man, but in a battle royal, worthy
of the Spartan kings, waged with
foe deserving of his blade, in de-

LAMP EXPLOSION CAUSES BAD
ACCIDENT.
Mrs. John Thomas Badly Burned
Home DESTROYED by Fire.

BY the explosion of kerosene lamp
which she was filling, Mrs. John Thomas
was quite seriously burned and the
home on East Fulton street set on fire
about o'clock Sunday evening. Mr..
Thomas, who had been conducting
bakery here for some months past, re-
Gently sold out and the family were
soon to remove to Madison Sunday
evening farewell party was being
held at their home at which number
OF relatives were gathered. Mrs.
Thomas stepped into the kitchen to fill
a lamp and a moment or two later the
company were amazed to hear an ex-
plosion. When the guests rushed to
learn the cause they found Mrs. Thomas
covered with the blazing fluid and the
room mass of flames. Her burning
clothing was quickly torn from her
but not until she sustained some deep
and painful burns about the arms and
limbs. In the meantime the fire had
gained good Roadway in the kitchen
and was rapidly spreading to other
parts of the building so by the time the
alarm had been sent in and the depart
ment reached the scene the entire wing
was mass of flames. Two lines of
hose were directed upon the burning
building but by the time the fire was
subdued there was little left of the
wing but the shell. A portion of the
furniture in the lower part of the house
was removed and yet the Thomas loss
will amount to several hundred dollars
on which there was no insurance. The
residence was owned by Henry Schmel-
ing and the loss was covered by an in
surance of $4OO.
In the work of fighting the fire both
Henry and George Schmeling were
burned about the hands and arms, and
Mrs. Paul Goedy's arm was also cut by
broken glass, each of these with their
families being at the gathering when
the accident occurred.
The condition of Mrs. Thomas since
the fire has been quite serious, she be-
ing unconscious portion of the tirne.
It is also feared that she inhaled flames
and internal complications may arise.

-Autoists are complaining of the
ignorance or disregard of the road laws
shown by many farmers and other
horse owners. Automobiles are licensed
by the state and have the same right
to the highway as teams, and their
right should be regarded. When an
auto is approaching your rig from be-
hind, the driver is required to give no
tice with his horn and is then entitled
to half the roadway. When the horn
blows do not act as though you did not
hear it, but if your team is not afraid
pull out to the side and give the driver
of the car a signal which will inform
him that you have che team under con-
troll. If your team is skittish you can
signal the driver to use caution and if
necessary he will assist you. Local
automobile owners are extremely care
full in this respect, and little more re-
spect by others for their rights among
owners will engender better feeling
all around. -Ex.

FOOtville VS.. the Giants.

Well, the best amateur base ball
team in the state has been defeated and
Manager Something's Giants did it..
The Footville team has been playing
fast ball this season and when they
came to Edgerton on Sunday last they
expected to be forced to play their
best, but never dreamed little dream
of defeat. At the end of the second
inning they took a peep into the future
and found defeat written there. The
Giants harvested three good scores in
their half of the second Three more
were added in the last half of the
eighth, making six good juicy ones that
looked good to everyone except those
from F0otville way. The visitors Sc
cured two runs in the fourth and in the
balance of the game their nest was
well filled with goose eggs.
Pitcher Short did remarkably good
work, as Footville got only one scratch
hit and he struck out 10 batters. His
style of pitching kept them guessing
from start to finish. Everyone of the
Giants put up good game and they
are now entitled to the championship
of southern Wisconsin.
The largest crowd of the season was
out to see the game, there being some
thing like five hundred present. And
all were satisfied that they had seen
good ball playing.

without helping me to any great ex-
tent, until finally in October last at

lar bottle of Swamp-Root and COM
meneed taking it according to direc-
tons and l followed that with an
other bottle and experienced such
great relief and benefit from same
that purchased five dollars worth at
Huntsville, Ala, and continued its
use and am now taking it, but in
smaller doses and twice a day in
stead of four times a day and be-
lleve by the time present supply is
