Sarsfield Aboo Heard Call of Wild

car tracks ahead OF an automobile
proceeding from east to west.
The automobile struck the rear
right wheel OF the cab and swung II
about 30 violently that Ford was
iarred from his seat and fell sprawl
ing TO the street. With a loud honk
of the horn the automobile sped west
and sarsfeld Aboo, elevating his
head and tail, sped north.
Feeling the call Of the Wild or
something, Sarsfield Aboo extended
himself with every jump. BY the nme
he reached Ninth street he was NOV
ing like Ballyhoo Bey coming down
the stretch under whip and spur
The Hayneses and the Joneses
opened both doors Of the cab with
the idea of jumping out. But the
ladies' were afraid to jump and the
men would not jump ahead of the
ladies', so all four did the next best
thing and emitted Pennsylvania cries
of alarm that were heard for blocks.
With every yell from the cab Sars-
field Aboo put on more speed. Ap-
preaching Fourteenth street he was
in his best stride and the cab was
slipping to and fro over the pavement
like the lash of whip.
Delehanty and Harrington, giants in
stature and cool OF mind, saw the
runaway coming. With businesslike
nonchalance they placed themselves
so Sarsfield Aboo and the trailing
cab would have to come between
them.
DelehaDty grabbed the bride and
hung on. Harrington got the reins
and hung on. The cops fell and were
dragged across Fourteenth street,
but the weight told on Sarsfleld
Aboo and as he essayed to turn and
shake them off he got tangled up in
his own feet and fell.
After a time Ford, the cabman,
came limping along and rescued his
property. Upon his assurance that
Sarsheld Aboo was so tired he would
not run away again If the Metropoli-
tan tower fell down in front of his
face, the Slatington, Pa, quartet con-
tinued the trip to the Grand Central
station in the Ford cab.

CURING THE BEST CAVIAR

The finest caviar is the bieluga pre-
pared from the roe Of the white stur-
geon; little less fine is the sevriuga,
prepared from the sterliated sturgeon
Both are put up at Astrakhan, Rus

sui John H. Grout stationed at Odes-

The oyerpowering disaster OF the

Is the need for the protection Of
scores OF millions Of travellers by rail
to be overshadowed and forgotten in

continued to about o'clock. Although
no one testified to having bought liquor
of Mather a quantity of receptacles pur-
porting to have contained liquor and
which We're found on his premises were
presented by the state. Attorneys E. w.
Gibson and w. d. Smith represented
the respondent and States Attorney F.
e. Barber represented the state
Deputy Sheriff C. E. Mann testified
about two searches made at the Mather
home and about the number of casks,
jugs and bottles which he found there.
Deputy Sheriff C. l. Knapp also testi-
fled in regard to the search. Earl Tay-
lor and Samuel Adams of Marlboro tes-
titled regarding the ownership of keg
which was in the court and Charles E.
Bigelow and II. E. Towne, employees of
the American Express company in the
Brattleboro office. testified that two

dltHOuSH lHey ulu not
have any positive knowledge of what
the shipments were. Dr. E. r. Lynch
testified that he had acted as physician
to Mrs. Mather and that he had pre-
scribed liquor for her as she could not

master of Marlboro, was called on, He
had no knowledge of the case, but en-
tertained the spectators and members
of the bar about 30 minutes with his
knowledge of typewriters, germs, adding
machines, computing scales, motorcycles
checkers and a variety of subjects Mr.
Baxter was asked to test the contents
of one of the bottles which were in
court, and which was supposed to con-
tain whiskey, but as he had never
tasted liquor he refused to do so He
said he preferred to buy his goods in
Brattleboro rather than from mail order
firms in Chicago, because if he was not
satisfied with what ne obtained here
the dealers would make it all right with
him.
In summing up, the attorneys for the
defense claimed that the liquor and
receptacles found on Mather's property
had been there number of years and
the states attorney claimed that they
mad been bought recently.
