LONG WALK WAGER
WAS WON BY
EARL PERCY
Tramped on Railroad From
Montreal to 0ttowa
DISTANCE IS III MILES
Wore Light Clothing and Did Not
Suffer From Exposure to Severe
Weather.

Ottawa, Ontario, March AFTER
tramping all the way from Montreal
on the tracks of the Canadian Pacific
Railway to win wager, Earl Percy,
eldest son of the Duke of Northum-
berland and an attache to Earl Grey
arrived in the city at 1880 o'clock last
evening, tired but triumphant.
Earl PERCY started from Montreal
before o'clock on Sunday morning
and therefore walked the 111h miles
which is the distance from Montreal
to Ottawa, in three days, or at the
rate of more than 81 miles a day.
The endurance and pluck revealed
by the feat will be evident to all who
have ever had occasion to tramp
along an exposed stretch of railway
track on such cold clustering days.
The Earl was lightly attired. scorn-
ing to wear an overcoat, and trusting
to the brisk physical exercise for
warmth.
To add to his difficulties there
arose rather interesting complica-
ton at Plantagenet, one Of the places
where warm clothing and fresh boots
had been left for him in the event he
should need them. The man In
whose charge the articles had been
placed would not believe that the in
dividual who applied for his new
clothing was real Earl and absolute
ly refused to give up the goods in his
charge Undaunted by this predica-
ment the nobleman shrugged his
shoulders and once more hit the
ties" again.
The motive prompting Earl PERCY
to undertake his very difficult and
uncomfortable feat Is known to have
been wager made very recently.
The Identity Of the other party to the
wager is not known, but it Is known
that 1t was a sporting wager, and
Earl Percy wins.
Under the conditions he was to
walk from Montreal to Ottawa over
the tracks Of any railway, to arrive
in time for the Paardeburg dinner,
which took place at Rideau Hall last
night and when the guests sat down
the Earl was among them. He SUI
fered no Ill effects from his long
tramp.

DEATH OF JUDGE PEABODY
Was Looking at Papers in Court Cham.
bers When Stricken.

PORTLAND, Me-. March 29. Henry
Clay Peabody, associate justice of the
supreme court OF Maine, dropped dead
while examining papers in the judges
chambers at the county building this af-
ternoon. He was leaning against table
when he fell forward and did not move
again; Or. 5. c. Gordon, his friend
from boyhood, was called and said that
death was due to heart disease.
Henry G. Peabody was born at Gilead
IN 1888. He graduated from Dartmouth
college in 1859, and read law in the office
OF zen. Samuel Fessenden of Portland
He was admitted to the bar in 1862,
and until 1867 was member of the firm
of Holden & Peabody, his partner being
the late Hon. Aaron B. Holden. In 1879
he was elected judge of the court of pro-
bate of Cumberland county, and took his
seat on the bench in 1880.
In 1900 Judge Peabody was elevated
to the supreme court by Gov. Powers
and was reappointed at the end of his
term. He took high rank among the
members of the court and presided at
many important hearings. His opinions
covered wide range and in particular
defined the law of Maine regarding the
rights of the owners of logs in navigable
waters.
After his elevation to the supreme
bench Justice Peabody took no further
part in politics, but up to that time was
noted political speaker and was one of
the early friends and supporters of the
late Thomas B. Reed. He was associate
member of Bosworth Post, G. A. R.,
and frequent speaker at the camp fires.
He was member of the Economic club,
the Portland fraternity and similar or
CARNATIONS, and of the orders of Odd
Fellows and X lights of Pythias, of
which he was past grand chancellor
and past grand representative. He is
survived by his wife and two sons
The last public appearance of Justice
Peabody was when he joined with Judge
Connolly of the superior court and his
associate, Justice Bird of the supreme
court, in paying tribute to the memory
Of the late Judge Levi Turner
His last official act was performed this
afternoon when he dictated statement
of facts in case to be sent to the law
court, but forgot to sign it. An hour
before his death he said to friend, II
am tired out and must take long rest. :"
