WINTHROP HORSE
RACES A FREIGHT:
is FINALLY SHOT

Winthrop, Me-, Nov. 17.-Phillip
Ladd's horse ran a race with freight
train on the railroad track Thursday
and might have won, if it hadn't been
for the bridge at Maranocool.
Mr.. Ladd wasn't planning on any
such race when he started in to har-
ness his horse. In fact, Mr.. Ladd had
quite other purposes. He had some err
rands to do and he wanted to save
time.
The horse evidently had the tang of
the Maine air in his heels and SO de-
cided to start off by himself He didn't
even wait for all his harness to be put
on. Tossing up his head and knocking
his heels. of the horse went in high
glee.
Dashing up Central street to Main,
the horse took the Readfeld road as
far as the residence Of Mrs. E. w.
Moody and thence dashed into the
field.
"A freight train was coming along at
a good pace and evidently scented
some good sport, the horse took to the
railroad track, about five feet ahead of
the engine and then the fun was on.
But the horse must have forgotten
that bridge at 'Maranacook. 1t was
some poser, but he started in brayelv
and got half across before he slipped
and then landed in the icy water.
In some way In the plunge the horse
broke his shoulder and when he was
rescued it was necessary to shoot him
TO put him out of his misery. It was
quite loss to Mr.. Ladd as the animal
was young and valuable.

People who came into the city Fri
day from the surrounding towns re-
ported that the sleighing was never
better than it is at present. Very few
people expect that it is going to stay

city it is rather hard IN some places
but on the whole it is as good as it is
found at any time of the year. The
fire teams at the north and south ends
of the city have been placed on run

felt that the snow would not stay and

The final weekly meeting Of the re-

hall and it was very we'll attended, as
large delegations from the Sunday
schools were present. and the praise
and song service was the best that has
been held at any Of the meetings, ev-
erybody taking hold with vim and
vigor that Is seldom seen at REVEALS.
Chaplain Cochrane OF the End Maine
Regiment offered the opening prayer
and Harry Taylor took as his text for
the evening. 1.-The Christian Race" He
said in opening that on last Sunday
his topic had been 'The Christian
Fight" and that he would liken Chris
tan endeavor to a race on this Occa-
sion. First he spoke Of the vast crowd
of spectators who are watching the
race and it's result. and Of the great
influence which the outcome will have
on them. He gave instance after in

He impressed the fact on his hear

how often the feet of children STUN

rents. Before every big game you
hear the critics saying. Take him out,

they couldn't pitch doughnut across

he then spoke Of the people who are
'criticising those who are making a try
at the Christian race, although not TAX
ing par themselves. and said, If there
is one place in He'll that is hotter than
another. that is the place reserved for
those who criticise others. but do not
take hand in the race themselves.
The Son Of God has laid out a path
to the Celestial City and you can't cut

FIVE MEN DROWNED
Continued from Page One)

The starboard was the +. A. Scott,
Jr., slightly advanced and acting as
pilot. The submarine, moving on the
surface at speed of about 10 knots.
was about 600 yards behind and half
a mile astern the tug Cassie, followed
as additional protection. Reaching the
Race, the several vessels slowed down
to cross the eddying currents of the
passage at slower speed.
Caugh. Tug Unawarss
The tide runs swiftly through the
Race and one Uf the rips apparently
caught the tug unawares. This ap-
peared to be SO to Capt koenig. who
with Chief Officer Krapohl was on the
Deutschland's deck. In the darkness
the T. A. Scott, Jr., was forced into
the submarines course. The collision
resulted without discovery by anyone
of it's imminence and the tug sank al
most at once.
The Deutschland was able to return
to her dock unassisted and, in fact
could have continued her voyage with
out great danger. according to one Of
ficiaf who saw her today. as her dam
age did not extend below the light
water line. Her repairs and her stay
in port are surrounded by the same
secrecy that marked the unloading of
her cargo from Germany and the
loading of the cargo which she Ia to
bring back. 1t was learned authorita-
lively today that the former was val
ued In excess Of the $10.o00,06o set by
Capt. K6enig. This amount 1t was said
would barely cover the value of the
securities which she carried. Contrary
to reports the Deutschland Will take
no gold to Germany.
The five dead are:
Captain John Quincy.
William A. Cation, engineer.
Edward Stone, fireman.
Clarence B. Dawson, cook.
Eugene Duzant, deckhand.
