WORKING ON PANAMA CANAL.
4. Chris. Darlington Talks Interest
ingly of Great Work in Which
He Has Part.

Mr.. A. c. Darlington, now one of the
great number of those engaged in the
great work 3f digging the Panama
canal, who has been spending the
Christmas holidays at his home in
Newberry, is, as are all those who
have gone from Newberry to the out
lying territories being developed by;
the United States, enthusiastic in talk
ing of the great work being accom-
plished.
The digging of the Panama canal,
cutting in half the western hemisphere
and uniting the Atlantic and the Paci-
fc oceans, is one of the greatest un-
dertakings ever attempted by the Unit
ed States, or any other nation. Mr..
Darlington went on the work, in the
government service, about thirteen
months ago, during November of 1910.
He is engaged in the work of the hy-
draulic excavation plant, and is in the
electrical department. Mr.. Darlington
took the course in this line of work
at Newberry college, and was after
wards with the telephone companies,
being in Nashville in telephone work
at the time he secured the government
position.
Contrary to what would naturally
be expected, Mr. Darlington says the
sanitary conditions on the work are
most excellent, and that there has
been very little fever or other sick
ness. There are the most improved
hospitals, he says, and a doctor at
each station, and the general health
conditions are fine.
The hotel accommodations for those
engaged in the work, he says, are
good, and those accustomed to the
best of fare in this country feel no
deprivation along this line.
Speaking of the work, Mr.. CARING
ton says about fou--ffths Of it has
been completed, and it is expected the
canal will be open for navigation by
June l, 1913. From 5000 to 5000
Americans are engaged in the work,
and some $4,000 native laborers.
Mr.. Darlington says the fortications
at both ends of the canal are well un-
der way, and that the bigs guns are
already in evidence.
Mr.. Darlington is a nephew of Gen
eral E. A. Darlington, of the United
States army, and stopped over in
Washington on his way home to see
his uncle. He will return to the can
al via New Orleans, in time to report
for duty on January %.
He is a sturdy believer in the lock
system which is being used, saying he
doesn't believe the canal could ever
have been completed successfully un-
! der any other system. He is delighted
with the work and with the country.

How Two Fairfield Farm
ers Killed a Bear With
Corn Cutters.
THE TWENTY-sECOND STORY.

THE SECOND STORY
The Fairfield forests were tingeC
with autumn colors and the suma(
adorned the highway like plumed
knights in fiery array. The black
birds and finches flew in Il ocks here
and there, occasionally descending, like
clouds, upon some field for feeding; the
shining golden ears of corn peeped
out from the gaping husks, while the
withered blades, ripe and dry, rustled
in the wind. Huge pumpkins lay
basking in the September sun amid
the dying and dropping leaves.
On a Fairfield farm that autumn
day, Sewall p. Getchell was shocking
his corn. Busy was he with his sharp
knife severing the stalks and assemb-
ling them in position around the gall
lows-a stool made by bending four
hills crosswise and twisting them Sc
curely together. Then tying all at the
top with stalk greener and tougher
than the rest, be passed on to repeat
again and again the operation.
While working away with his rude
corn cutter made from a discarded
scythe blade, his attention was sud-
denly attracted to a rapidly approach
ing horseman, riding pell-mell through
the field.
In moment story ofa bear hunt
which had been talked about in the
neighborhood few days before,
flashed through his mind. A bear
had been seen on the Harrison Hackett
farm and the sons of Orange Newell
giving chase, had freed the animal and
endeavored 10 dislodge him with new
double-barrelled shotgun. The shot
gun was decided curiosity in the To-
caiity at that time and this was the
first weapon of he kind in the neigh
borhood. But Bruin had refused to
come down at its call and the youth
full hunters were obliged at last to give
up the chase and leave the bear in the
tree.
With amazement Getchel gazed at
the galloping rider. Gould he be IN
pursuit of bear? 1t was but a mo-
ment unit he had his answer. There,
passing rapidly between the shocks
but few rods away was huge black
object.
N. s. Risley, who had been riding
on horseback along the highway in
the neighborhood, saw bear mount a
rail fence, jump down and disappear in
a corn field. This was on the farm

Chief is

Baraboo residents who have been
robbed by ice box thieves may take
hint from the following plan which
worked we'll at Madison. Awakened
by the burglar alarm, half dozen
students at the Sigma NJ fraternity
house, 42S North Murray street, ran
downstairs in their pajaInas and with
revolvers and shotguns in their hands.
When they reached the basement they
discovered John j. Burke, painter,
with bundles of meat anu other pro-
visions under his arms, it is said.
They covered Burke with their guns.
while one of their number notified the
police. The refrigerator has been re-
peatedly robbed and the burglar alarm
was installed, connecting the refrigera-
tor WITH the sleeping rooms.

AUTOMOBILE RUN

The proposed route of the Milwau-

boo is one of the officers for the event.
Pathfinding work will be started on
June 8, when M. g. Moore, official
pathfinder Of the tour, will leave Mil
waukee in the Case trail blazer. The
route tentatively selected is as follows:

Mrs. John Luce, in telling some of
the incidents in the story, does not
mention Mr.. Rlsley and says the bear
was killed by her good neighpor, Mr..
Getchell. n. NJ. Risley, who resides
in Excelsior and who is son of n. S.
Rlsley, says his father was on horse
back and helped to kill the bear.
Davis Hackett of Baraboo is of the
opinion that both men joined in the
hunt and this bear was the one which
served as target for the Newell sons.
E. T.. Palmer of Baraboo recalls that
the head of the bear was brought to
the blacksmith shop of his father, Ira
Palmer, in Fairfield, and remained
there for some time. The BEARS head
showed many cuts from the encounter
and the incident was the excitement
of the neighborhood. Some of those
living at the time say the killing
occurred in 1859 while others date it
in the sixties. Perhaps some reader
can give more light on the subject.
In case you know of a bear tale to
tell, kindly write the Bruin editor.
