A Spokane paper of a recent date
was received by Hubert Harrington OF

into the front end of a construction
train on a curve near La Grande. Ten
laborers in his crew, riding with him,
were able to jump to safety before
the impact.
Gross was hurled twenty feet from
the track by the force of the collision
and struck on hts head In a pile OF
broken rocks at one side. His skull
was badly fractured and he was dead
when the crew reached him. The car
was moving rapidly down grade when
the construction train appeared around
a curve. The ten Iaborers jumped, one
at a time, Gross staying on the car un-
til they were all off-then not having
time to jump himself.

In THE HOTEL LOBBIES

A local preacher was recently asked
the question as to whether a man
could take the Bible in too literal a
manner, and he replied that he hardly
knew how to answer that question,
~Whereupon the mar said:
you know, doctor, that somewhere
in the Bible it states that when the
Son of Man was tempted by the devil.
he said: Get thee, behind me, Satan -
And the doctor replied that was cor
rect.
well / knew a young fellow once
who was converted. He wasn't overly
bright, but he vas certainly sincere in
his efforts to act like a christian man,
One Sunday in the church where he
attended the minister spoke of the
temptation and said that if a man
would say, when he was tempted,
Get the behind me. Satan he could
not go far wrong.
THE young fellow ~pondered over
this and one day when there was a cir
Gus in town. he was lined up along the
sidewalk with a lot of others watching
the parade.
Suddenly the thought struck him
that he could see no harm in the cir
Gus and that he thought 1t would be
mighty nice to attend.
Just at that minute, the ministers
warning rang in his ears.
He said. Get thee behind me, Satan,
loud enough for those in his vicinity
to hear him and at the same time he
kicked his foot out behind, struck an
other man on the shin bone, and the
injured mar hit him behind the ear.
He was arrested and notwithstanding
that he told what had happened, he
was fined SIS for being disorderly.
Now, that's a case in point" said the
man, and the doctor sadly shook his
head and walked away.
DR.. Chagnnn, the we'll known drug
gist and business man Of the little
town of Horace, was a guest at the
Waldorf a day or two ago, and was
greeting his friends in the city and he
has a whole lot of them. Horace is
all right" said the doctor to The Fo-
rum, and business out in our section
of the state is mighty good. Yes, we
have a great deal of our threshing
done, and the most of that which isn't
threshed as yet has been stacked, so
we are as q whole in pretty fair shape
out in your district. Yes, / heard OF
some machines that Were not fully
equipped and / know that we could
use a good many more men than we
have, but on the whole we are all
right. Our yields turned out nicely,
the grain was heavy and of good quail
ity and the farmers are very generally
satisfied. Our corn is showing up ex-
ceedingly well and the acreage is quite
large in our vicinity. About the big
gest thing that the people out our way
are interested in just now Is how to
get the grain threshed and out OF the
way. Yes, shooting is all right out In

HORSE AND COW POISONED.
Franklin Seiectmen Investigating a
Peculiar Case.


Peculiar Case.
When Rev. A. c. Brown, pastor of the
Methodist church at Franklin, went to
his stable Sunday morning, he found his
horse and COW both dead. The animals
had evidently been poisoned, but whether
by something eaten accidentally in hay or
grain, or deliberately administered by
some malicious person, has not yet been
determined. Public opinion leans toward
the latter theory.
The selectmen of Franklin are investi-
eating the case. A veterinary from Bar
Harbor was summoned, and parts of the
stomachs of the animals have been sent to
the Maine medical school for analysis as
to their contents.
If it develops that the animals were de-
liberately poisoned the investigation will
be continued in an attempt to bring the
guilty person to justice. 1t is probable
that the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals will take hand in the
investigation.
