ROOSEVELT BROKE THE LAW
Former President Compelled to Shoot
Moose in Canada to Save His
Own Life.

Quebec. Ont, Oct 5.-How Colonel
Roosevelt, leader of the Bull Moose
party. had to break the game laws of
Quebec on his recent visit here and
kill an extra moose in order to save
his own life is told in an affidavit
sworn to by himself and his two
guides before Notary Penet of Stray
mond and deposited with the fish and
game branch in the parliament build
ings.
According to the statements, the
colonel, who was the guest of the
Tourilli Club, already had killed the
one moose allowed him by law and
was returning with his two guides,
Bebe Lorette and Joe Lefevre, in
canoe when they sighted another
hoose at some distance 1t was ex-
pected that as soon as the latter got
their wind it would make away, but it
showed no signs of fear and attempt
ed to charge when the canoe came
near, the colonel and his guides being
forced to put to deep water. Colonel
Roosevelt, thinking to scare, fired over
its head, but this only seemed to in
furiate it. The moose kept on, and
then the eX-President, realizing, as he
said afterwards, that it was either his
life or that of the beast, gave him a
shot through the head which brought

SAVE Nine FROM LIVING, TOMB
Men Were Imprisoned in Pennsylvania
Mine for Week by Cave-in-
Weak from Hunger.

Pottsville Pa, Oct. "A grave |
that held nine living men was opened
in CoaIdale today. The seven days
those coal miners had lived down
there, hoping and waiting, had seem
ed as many years. The sunshine
found its way into their tombs just
two hours after every church in this
district had offered a prayer for their
lives.
The nine men were imprisoned last
Monday in a tunnel of the Lehigh Nav
igation Company. Rescue work has
been going on steadily.
Shortly after o'clock the rescuing
force under the general superintend-
ent, removed the rock still in the
gangway sufficiently to allow members
of the force to push their way into the
chamber They found the imprisoned
men descending the chamber, the
lights borne by the rescuers having
notified them that relief was at hand
The rescued men were taken direct
ly to the Panther Creek Hospital.
although we did not feel so hun
gry after being penned up awhile,
John McAndrew of Coaldale, one OF
the men, said, I'VE began to feel weak.
| I often lay in doze, hearing the blast
| ing of the rescaers and realizing
| ought to send them signals that we
were alive, but l couldn't summon the

! Occasionally we took pick and
hammered on the barrier. But we rea-
! soned that the broken rock which
barred the way would not carry the
sound one thousand feet, which was
| the length of the barrier when we
| were first imprisoned"
How does it feel to pass whole
| week in a living grave? Well, nearly
| all of us have more gray hairs than
we had last Sunday. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that it is less than week since
the accident happened. 1t seemed
years to U.S. Maybe that is why our
hair turned gray, for We never wor-
ried much after we found the air was
good and the water wouldn't back on
us. We figured out that our "buddies
would keep at the work of digging us
out, no matter how long it took, and
that it would take long time to
starve us. Yes, 1 believe it was hope
that kept us alive"
1--WE had only half a meal or less
for each for the whole week" they de
clared This was given out little
