MULcAHY DID COME BACK
Connecticut Man Thinks Monument
Erected 60 Wis Memory t.
every Tasty"

During the last seven years whenever
the people Of Derby. or its twin Jewel in the
crown OF Connecticut. Ansonia, have had
occasion to speak of Thomas Mulcahy
they have used the past tense. for the gen
eral impression was that while in Alaska
he and one of the snowslldes indigenous to
that frappe territory had been in collision,
with fatal results 20 Mr.. .Mulcahy. But he
came hack.
Nobody knew he was coming. because
everybody thought he was dead. Daniel
Moffat had said so. and Frank Knight had
said so. They had gone to Alaska twelve
years ago with Mulcahy as the third mem
Der of a gold-seexing expedition. and al
though It was one Of those one-for-an and
all-for-one aggregations, they had acci-
dentsly become separated from him in the
frozen north. Twelve years ago Moffat re-
turned bringing news that Mulcahy had
been lost. Seven years ago cumulative ev-
idence. only more so. arrived with knight.
who said that he had heard that the year
he left Alaska Mulcahy had matched him
self against a snowslide and lost
Then everybody who had known Null
cahy began to remember the good things
he had done, and to predict, as Is always
done In these cases, that he would have
had scintillating future had he only
taken the precaution to keep on living
Among those who were stirred by the news
Of the incident of the snowslide was Null
oahys brother, Richard. who erected a
monument in memory Of the virtues OF
Thomas. This monument was one Of the
points of interest in Derby that was first
pointed out to Thomas Mulcahy when he
arrived.
Knowing that his brother had returned
| to Derby. but unaware that he himself
was supposed to have died, Thomas Null
cahy dropped off a New Haven train to-
day eager for a family reunion and home
cookery. He was not recognized-twelve
years in Alaska being bound to exact
some influence over any countenance.
He told several persons that he was
| Thomas Mulcahy, but the Connecticut
mind, ever conservative, refused to give
credence to his assertion.
Tom Mulcahy," they told him, died in
Alaska, cut down by a snowslide on the
| threshold Of a wonderful career. Come out
and look at his monument"
Having nothing else to do at the mo-
ment. I'll go YOU" said the man who had
come home for an old homework cele-
bration, and knew in his heart he was not
dead.
SO they took him out and displayed the
| monument.
He walked slowly around It. reading the
inscriptions aloud
Tasty" said he, very, very tasty. We
might as well keep it. 1t will come in
handy some time"
His guide thought he was ravink, and
would probably be thinking so vet II
Daniel Moffat and Frank knight had not

after short series Of DO you remem-
Der this?' and DO you remember that9''
they admitted that the hearsay evidence
concerning the snowslide had to fade in
the presence of Mr.. Mulcahy, himself.
Then there was a real reunion.
The monument will stay where II is
nothing In Connecticut ever being wasted.

YoKED BULL CORES FARMER
Attempt to Put Theory Into PrRc-
tice Results in a
TraWedv

An attempt TO put in practice his theory
that two bulls could be broken to work in
a yoke cost the life at his farm in Cow
entry, Conn, OF Andrew Kingsbury, an
agriculturist whose progressive ideas have
been OF great benefit to farmers through
out New England.
Mr.. Kingsbury was a member of the
Connecticut assemblies of 1905 and 1907,
and in 1907 was also president of the State
Farmers association. His farm in Cow
entry has long been considered a model
grange. and for many years he had been
breeder Of fine cattle, a department in
which he had been considered an author
ity.
The practice in vogue in European coun-
tries Of working Percheron and other
heavy draft horses, with the apparent
result OF greater capacity and length Of
service in the animals, convinced Mr..
Kingsbury that bulls broken to yoke must
be superior to oxen as draft cattle and
led him to a series of experiments. Sc
Letting two young bulls from his herd he
broke them to yoke singly and then at
tempted to drive them to one plow
The animals seemed perfectly docile
when Mr.. Kingsbury put them to yoke in
barn. but became FESTIVE when he at
They had been driven part of the distance
when one Of them lpnged viciously at the
other, Mr.. Kingsbury sprang to their
heads to prevent further trouble, and as
he did SO the attacking bull strained
heavily at the yoke and broke 1t. Think
ing to subdue the bull. Mr. Kingsbury
curled the lash Of whip about the ami
malls neck. The attempt at discipline had
the effect of arousing the bull to fury
Believing with rage the bull caught Mr..
Kingsbury on his horns and tossed him
twenty feet. The animal then gored the
victim and tossed him again.
The angry bellowings Of the enraged anil
NAL brought several Of Mr.. KIngsbury's
employees to the scene and the bulls were
beaten off. Mr.. Kingsbury was placed in
an automobile and brought to a hospital
in Hartford. He died five hours later
without regaining consciousness.
