UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRR.I

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-Led,
mancled before the body of Captain
e. B. Wood, the mariner who was
murdered by his confederate, George
W. Wise, confessed pirate, re-told the
story of the daring plan to wreck and
loot the steamer BucRman, to the
coroner's jury today. The occasion
was an inquest into the death Of Cap
tain Wood, who was shot down by
French" West, Wises alleged fell
low pirate, who afterward jumped in
to the sea- Wise showed no remorse
at the sight of the dead captain.
Wise is held at the city prison
pending his removal to the custody
of the federal authorities. He SEEM
ed unmoved by the gravity of the
charge against him. On the contrary,
the prisoner seemed pleased at be-
ing called a modern pirate.
According to the story told to the
police, Wise said he and West en-
barked on their plan with a vague
idea of the disposal Of whatever
treasure they might seize. They
made no inquiry as to whether the
Buckman was carrying any large
amount of money. She had, in fact,
but $3.50 in her safe. and the pas
senger list was not large.
To escape with their loot, the men
planned TO beach the vessel just south
of Cape Blanco, on the Oregon coast.
Wise admits that they had no maps
of the interior nor any idea Of where

An ovenhIrd,s Nest.

Though it was the middle OF June, it
was cold, windy day, but we started to
see how the forest OF ferns in the open
woods Was growing. We found it a
marvel Of beauty. The space OF perhaps
a quarter Of an acre at the foot of a wood
ed hill was crowded with ostrich ferns,
some Of which were as high as our heads.
A few interrupted ferns and sensitive
ferns were intermixed and little plants
we're growing, hidden beneath them.
just as we turned into the path that
leads to the ferns, we heard rustlng
sound as Of small animal creeping on
the dry leaves under the bushes. ] said,
"OvenbirdlV and my companion saw and
followed her. She crept along with trail
ing wings, and was very lame, but for all
of that, she took her follower rapidly
away from the path. At last it dawned
on me that she had a nest and was de-
ceiving US and we soon found, near the
path, a little mound OF dry grass. We
lifted the upper part OF the side opening a
little, and saw that the nest was full OF
very young birds. We could hear the
little mother "smaeking' anxiously, Sc
we went away, not to tease her.
When we returned from the ferns, some
time later, we stood at distance and
looked al the little mound, but all was
still and the opening was nearly closed
As we started on, suddenly the mother
bird trailed up the hill again, in full
sight, the soft olive-green back and
wings showing beautifully. 1t WAS pitt
ful to see the wings partly spread, as
though she had to use them to help her
to walk, or was nearly exhausted. When
she found that we were not following her.
SHE stopped beside a fallen tree and
looked back ut us. We thought II cruel
to continue to trouble her and so we
passed along.
Eight days later, the nest was empty.
and apparently nothing had further dis
turbed IT.

Ne. Bic Cutts Elsher.

mrs. EtizH Cutts FtSher.
Bethel's oldest inhabitant, Mrs. Elizi
Cults Fisher. entered into rest at II
O'Clock a. m. May ii, after a sickness o
one week. She was taken May at II
O'Clock 3. m. with a CONFUSION. She re
eeived q severe fall at the time.
Mrs. Fisher was the third OF family
OF six children, born Dec. 5, 1910, hel
! father and mother being Edwin and Ruth
Cults OF Barre. At an early age she en-.
tered the family of her uncle, Chester
Bancroft, Mrs. Bancroft and Mrs. Cults
being sisters. In this home she lived I'M
til the time OF her marriage In the year
1881 to Josiah Fisher of Bethel. They
began their married life in Rochester on
the farm above the Edwin Church place
/ In this home they lived seven years. 1t
was built OF logs and had ladder to en-
ter the chamber and trap door to enter
the cellar. In this humble home
daughter was born in 1888 and a son
March 8, 1886. The next four years we're
spent on the John Fisher place and ever
after on the old homestead.
When the Civil war broke out, their
daughters husband entered the army and
gave his life for his country. Their
daughter was left, with three small chill
dren, and they cared for them several
years. Mr.. Fisher died July 25, 1884. at
the age Of nearly SO years, being helpless
several years, having sustained a fracture
OF hip. Mrs. Fisher, needing rest and
change, went to Barre and stayed with
her grandchildren for q time. Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Barber took her to her faith
er's old farm. She found 1t deserted and
the buildings gone to decay.
None of her father's family lived to be
over eighty with the exception OF her
brother, Lewis, and herself. Lewis Cults
died year ago at the age OF SO at his
daughters home in Barre.
This lady OF nearly century lived to
see vast changes. There we're no rail- |
roads in the world at the time she was
born. She was two years old at the /
breaking out of the war in 1912. Metho-
dism was in its infancy. The steam boat /
was invented in her day and all modern /
Mr.. and Mrs. Cults spent their last
years with their son, Loren OF Newport, I
Vt. They also had daughter, Aurilla,
living at that place.
In early life Mrs. Fisher united (
with the Methodist church in Bethel Gill
cad but for many years had been content
10 stay at home.
She was a woman OF remarkably good
health, seldom employing a physician and
never dentist. She lived in her own
house alone with the exception Of the last
i've years. She leaves many pieces OF
needle work for her children and grand
children that will remind them of Der.
N the family of her daughter there are
i've generations and in the family OF her
ION four generations. She leaves two
two grandchildren awo grand
children having died with consumption
even at-grandchildren and one great.
