Hoodoo With Him

1
A correspondent at Witch Lake. on
the Milwaukee road south of Repub-
lie reports the arrival of DIR. C. ID.
Wescott at that popular summer re-
sort. after a series of haps and mis-
haps. The doctor came from Chicago.
Due to the carelessness of a new por-
ter. he was not Informed of the fact
that he was tenant of the Copper
Range sleeper. necessitating a change
at Claiming. When the doctor discov-
cred the fact. he was nearing Amasa.
The conductor informed him that a
freight train was due at Amasa i'm a
short time and this would afford him
an opportunity to return to Claiming
At Amasa, however. he was gladened
with the news that the freight train
was two hours late. The skies bright
ened considerably a few moments la
ter when Roadmaster Lindaman put
in an appearance with his autocar
and kindly offered transportation to
Claiming. This was a. pleasant means
of locomotion and the trip would
have been thoroughly enjoyed had not
ance and disabled the auto midway
between stations. Several hours were
spent i'm earnest argument with the
car. and the conversation was be-
coming real sultry when the delayed
freight train put in an appearance.

ROUTED BY SPIDERS
Sailor Fought TarantuIas in
Hold of Fruit Steamer.
ROPE HIS ONLY WEAPON
One of the Monsters Bit Him on the
Arm, 1ndicting a Danger
Gus Wound

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass. July 9.-Five tarantu-
las. vicious at being disturbed, attacked
Alec Jornsen in the hold of the fruit
steamer Verona. which arrived from
Jamaica ports today. forcing him into
a battle between decks that nearly cost
him his life.
One Of them fastened on his arm. in
ficting a bite that kept him in the sick
bay the entire trip from Jamaica, with
the ships surgeon working hard to save
him from the effects of poison
The battle took place when the banana
boat was two days out OF Jamaica. Jorn-
sens mate, in lifting up a bunch or
bananas. dislodged a nest Of tarantulas.
Jornsen. cOrnered in the hold, with no
other weapon than shcrt length of rope,
realized that he was face to facs with
five Ct the dreaded pests. He edged out
from the dark toward the circle Of half
light under the hatch.
Spider Forced the Fight.
AS Jornsen moved one OF the hairy
spiders zigzagged across his path. get
ting nearer with every hitch in its &C.
centric course. AS Jornsen wondered
what he should do. whether to try to hit
the thing or to try to leap past and
then spring for beam. the spider de-
cided for him by darling in.
Jornsen hit out with the rope end
and leaping for the beam at the same
time clambered out of reach. Then
looking down he saw that the first one
had been killed by his wild chance
blow. The others swarmed around.
Jornsen hung straddle the beam. W. n
dering how he was to get to the deck
and along to the ladder AS one big
fellow passed along under him he lash
ed out with the rope. He hit it.
Winning, He Becomes Careless. ;.
He then laced out wildly at the other
three. Eventually he killed another.
Then. with but two of them left. he
became less careful. He neglected to
snap back the rope. 1t was almost
fatal. The big spider shot up the rope
and before Jornsen realized it had fas-
tened its pincerlike beak into his right
forearm With a yell he knocked on
the spider.
Swinging clear Of the beam he leap
ed to the deck. landing on the taran-
tula. He then scrambled up the lad
der fainting just as his mates hands
reached down, caught him and hauled
him on deck.
