FEARS DOG BITE MAY

(From fridays Dai1y.)

Alarmed over being bitten by a
dog that had every symptom of be-
ing mad, Leland Ellsworth passed
through the city yesterday for Los
Angeles to resort to the Pasteur
treatment for hydrophobia.
He stated that while riding his
horse on the Mogollon range, to the
south Of Flagstaff, he. stopped for a
few minutes at a spring to quelch
his thirst, when 4 dog in a famished
condition came out of the timber
and also drank from the pool. AS
Ellsworth was sitting down and roll
ing a cigarette the dog came to his
side and without any intimation of
being affected, snapped at his arm
and also bit him in the leg below the
knee. both wounds being at least
one-half inch in depth. Whipping
out his gun, he fired two shots, one
bullet hitting the dog in the foot
and the other grazing its neck. He
noticed the dog was emitting a light
foam from its mouth. and he be-
lieves it was affected with rabies.
Mr.. Ellsworth states that the past
winter has been a severe one on
dogs in that range country. food be
ing scarce from the deep snow, and
several have been seen miles away
from their homes hunting for food.

HOLE PETE
NOW CHICKEN
RAISER
Will Try All Breeds To
See Which Is Most
Profitable.

EDMONTON, Alta, April 49,
Peter McCardell, better known
throughout the western states and
provinces as Post Hole Pete" has
decided to abandon the exciting life
at the head of steel on railroad con-
struction work and settle down as a
chicken-grower near Edmonton. He
has acquired plot of ground and
will erect a shack and the necessary
outbuildings at once.
His experimental stock will con-
sist of two or three pens of stand
ard-bred fowl from every state, pro-
vince and territory on the north
American continent, the idea being
to ascertain which produces the
most profitable fowl for commercial
purposes. He plans to open an ac-
count for a year with every pen of
fowl and then submit his data to
the department of agriculture of the
United States and Canada for the
benefit of farmers.
McCardell received his nick name
in peculiar manner 80 years ago.
while working for a rancher in
northwestern Montana. His task was
to dig post holes. One day his en-
ployer was called to Helena on
business which he supposed would oc
cupy two or three days, and his final
instructions to the laborer were:
Keep digging till l return. I'll be
back before you finish"
Peter carried out the orders. He
wore out several spades in digging
sufficient holes to fence the ranch
er's holdings and continued north
ward until past the international
boundary. Warm words were ex-
changed when his long-delayed en-
ployer returned. but the workman
collected his wages in full. having
proved by fellow laborers that he
was told to keep digging"

Of that city for it's increased expen-
ditures in conducting the schools. In
Boston, as in most Eastern cities, the

at the head, is supreme in control of
the board of education. In fact, the
mayor appoints the board, and the
funds made available for school pur-
poses are voted by the city council; be
ing different system altogether from
our own, where the board Of educa-
tion is an elective body with us. and
levies taxes on its own account in

FINAL DAY AT GETTYSBURG.

The third day Of the Gettysburg
ioyable Of all. The veterans were bet
ter accommodated. and since large num-
bers of them had gone home. there was
ample room for those who remained.
Many incidents OF the day were mar.
rated in the dispatches, and it was the
best day of the jubilee celebration of
any of the days comprising it.
The letter Of General Sicklcs, mar
rating his experiences of the day, is Il
great bit of autobiography; but it
would have been a more flawless docn-
mcnt if he had not insisted upon air
ing somo of his personal grievances
and contentious against General Meade.
Where Sickles said that Meade after
the first days fight was in favor of
Withdrawing 10 the defensive line that
he had first decided on at Pipe Creek,
he does Meade a great injustice. For
Meade arrived on the field at Gettys-
burg at midnight after the first day S
fight, and while it is fact that Meade
at first wished TO make his fight on
tho line at Pipe Creek, on his arrival
on the field after the first day s fight,
he issued peremptory speeding orders
to all of his troops to come up to the
Gettysburg line; and when the fight
of the second day proceeded, Meade s
troops were there to meet the onset of
the Confederates.
Large numbers of the veterans on
both sides left the battlefield on We'd
nvsday evening, but their places were
promptly taken by other thousands who
pressed in for the last day. The iubi
lee ceremonies proper ended on last
evening: but it is understood that there
will be Fourth Of July celebration
on the field today, which will be gen
eral memorial of the Nations birth
day as well as Of the Gettysburg vic
tory and of the surrender Of Nicksburg
TO Grant fifty years ago today.
Altogether, the jubilee celebration
has been noteworthy success. The
greatness of the crowds attending
caused some confusion to those who
were responsible for the preparations,
but on the whole good work was done
and the jubilee celebration will pass
into history as one Of the great events
of the time
