emerge from the timber at a high rate of speed

however, they were able to grasp the reason for
this singular conduct, as large black bear came
into view at the same spot, but on beholding the
men he at once took fright and made into the
woods After splashing round in the lake for
some time the moose came out, blew the water
from his nostrils and stood only a few yards away
from the fishermen eying them serenely. He was
of unusual size and had magnificent set of
horns He Skirted the shore of the lake at a leis
urely gait for about mile and then darted into
the woods.

ONE KILLED, ONE INJURED, IN
AUTO TRUCK ACCIDENT
One of those smashing, fenderless
alto trucks of Hearst's Chicago Eve
ming American crushed the life from
a 13-year-old boy Monday night.
Lazar Swigotz of 1916 Fulton st. was
the victim.
A coroner's jury yesterday decided
that the accident was unavoidable
and suggested that the driver, Frank
Przypoda, be released from custody
of the police. Testimony, however,
showed that a fender on the truck
might have saved the child's life.
The boy was on the way home
from the grocery store at 1871 Full
ton st. He jumped from the side
walk curb and started on run across
the street
The American truck, half loaded
with papers, caught him before he
was across. He was knocked down
and run over.
The rear wheel of the machine
passed over his head and the boys
life was crushed out. The remains
were taken to Pettkoska's morgue at
2201 w. 18th; then the driver called
his mother and told her.
Another fenderless auto truck fig
ured in a serious accident at noon
today.
Samuel Jesselson, 70, 572S Drexel
av., member of the fish firm of Jes-
selson & Stiefel, 38th and Cottage
Grove av., was run down at 57th and
Cottage Grove av., as he tried to en-
ter car.
Jesselson left the curb as the car
stopped. Before he could get to its
steps, however, an auto truck swung
around the corner, knocked him
down and passed over his chest.
The police we're called and the
driver, Carl Wallis of 603 w. 63d, was

kind. But he wears the long blue coat
and baggy red trousers OF a territorial
OF the French army, and he carries a
magazine rifle with fixed bayonet all
the time he Is on duty. He Is guard
Ing the railway line to prevent spies
or vandals from attempting to inter
fere with the movement OF troops or
supplies.
Two years he has stood there. Mo-
Dilized since Aug. 3, 1914, he dropped
his agricultural implements and seized
his arms. Just too old for the trenches
he has been put on interior guard duty
and is fortunate enotgh to be station
ed right opposite his home. Perhaps
II he has kindly colonel he is permit
ted to sleep at home; otherwise he
must walk away from his house and
stay In the nearest barracks while he
Is not on active duty.
AZ he stands on the railway tracks
be looks across the road aud witches
his wife staggering under heavy pitch
fork loads Of hay as she swings them
to the top OF the stack. His parents
and his young daughters are not
strong enough to toss the hay that
high, so all that particular work de-
wolves on his wife. Last spring he
watched his aged kin feebly trying to
guide the heavy pillow through the
fields and turning a furrow so shallow
he knew little more than half the
regular crop would spring up.
But Il causes no bitterness in his
breast. He realizes It is for Ga pa
THE And be knows that on all the
thousands OF other farms in France
the same conditions exist. He is
thankful that he can DO near his home
and see his family every day instead
OF being stationed far OF in q trench
line or, worse stlll. patrolling a stretch
OF railway In a distant corner OF tho
republic.
