ornithologists from Everywhere Are
Wont to Attend Autumnal Migration.
The island of HcHgoland, in. the
North sea, is triangular rock of
about 100 acres, but there is no spot
Of equal size on the earth 5 surface,
according to the Washington star, that
is of more interest to the ornitholo-
gist. Nearly every one on the island
is a born student Of birds. The flight
and note of every bird are familiar to
tRe yislpqQsrs. A new bird il instantly
detected. The fisherman steers with q
gun by his side and the peasant digs
his potatoes with a gun on the turf
Every bird that appears is whistled
within range with marvellous skill. The
common sorts are eaten, the rare ones
sold to the bird-stulfer and the new
ones taken to the ornithologists.
The autumnal migration is q specta
Gle that ornfthologists from all over the
world are wont TO attend. On such al
occasion a distinguished bird student
was awakened at half-past u in the
morning with the news that the migra

CHARGED WITH THREATENING
Four Strikers Arrested in Barre Gran
lite District.


MONTPELIER, May 26.-Four ar
rests were made yesterday Of men who
are said to be leaders of the Italians
who are continuing the strike, recent
ly believed settled, in the Barre gran
tie district
The following were locked up in the
county jail here: E. Parella of Mont
pelier, Giovanni Buttura, n Mastroan-
nj and Giovanni Tosi of Barre, charged
with intimidating and threatening
workmen who had returned to work.
A special session of county court has
been called for this morning on ac-
count of the situation.
Many men have not returned to
work under the new agreement because
they fear harm.
Gov. Gates was asked to call out the
militia, but this he will not do unless
the situation gets beyond local con.
troll. He has every confidence in the
civil authorities, he says, and has as
surad Sheriff Tracy he will back al
reasonable measures he applies. The
police say the radical element has Sc
carried on its propaganda that the sit
uatlon was getting serious.
| Parelia came here from Worcester
Mass, few weeks before the strike.
Special deputies were on duty al
day yesterday.

with revolver by Hiert. 1g
Mr.. Hiert was given hearing be-
fore Justice BigeloW. He admitted
having club but denied that he had
revolver or gun. John Bensch acted
as interpreter during the hearing, the
defendant being a German and speak
Ing only the German language. Hiert
claimed that the hunters have been so
numerous and careless in this vicinity
that he had been forced to keep his
stock at the barn all season to keep
them from being shot. .-@ j

Hiert to bring in additional witnesses.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT BY TRACTOR

Moorhead, MIMI, Nov. 10.-James

ran over him and crushed his limbs
to pulp. az*t -
When and how the accident hap

for Smith was found by his children
some time after the accident happen

DR.. Verne was called to the mans aid
and although he did all be could to
relieve him, Smith died, as a result of
the loss of blood. &
The deceased was well known in
Moorhead, as he had been resident
of the city for some time. The man
was about As years old and had lived
in Clay county for IS years. He is
survived by the wife and several small
children. His brother, John Smith

were plastered on the inside, so they
looked rather nice. .E'
One advantage people had in getting
fuel; we didn't have to buy. They
took an ak along and went down in the
woods and took as much as they want
ed. Of course it was green and most
of it had to be dried in the oven be-
fore it would burn. ."
And the way people used to take
their groceries home from Mr..
Hjledy's store was to carry them in Z
sack on their back, with a kerosene
can in the other hand. We had to 60
two miles to go to our nearest post
office, Daily, but lots of our neighbors
had farther. ...
There is some change in this couD-
try since we came. Almost every
farmer owns touring car or driv-
ing team, so it doesn't take quite so
long to 60 to town to do their business.

much. Yours truly,

ing to the lines, was hurled through

platform and the track, where he re-
manned unhurt until the engineer
