Just then the
second foreman
rushed over, gave
the negro a push
out of the way
and, grabbing the
New-York tribune., 1917-12-02

Now every man was smoking or
chewing tobacco. Pretty soon the mold
became thick with smoke, AMI ] was
gaspins for breath, when the voice OF
the foreman came down the companion
way:
"Turn out on deck and give hand

come down there and rouse you out
pretty -- - quick.
We needed no second invitation and
lined IN on the deck. ! looked over the
rail. On the dock were hundreds Of
the sorricst looking specimens Of horse
flesh l have ever laid eyes or. These
horses were in groups Of ten or twelve,
being held by horscmcn from the New
Jersey stocbyards a lot Of the men
who had shipped as horsemcn had never
led a horse in their life, and it was
pitiful to sec their fear.
On the dock waz

sleeves rolled up to the elbows. and in
his right hand a coiled lariat II did
ones heart good to see him rope the
horses which broke loose. Upon
watching his first performance ! knew
was correct when l figufed him as
having Mexican blood in his veins.
A bleary-eyed drunk was trying to
lead a horse by the halter up our run.
He was looking back at the horse, AZ
the same time tugging and jerking on
the halter. You could see the white in
the horses eyes, and / knew right
away, from my experience with horses
that this was bad one, or, as we would
term him in the cavalry, an OUTLAW"
The drunk was cursing and swearing
and kicking up at the horses head.
The foreman saw this and directed his
barrage at the offender.
How in hell do you expect to lead
a horse while looking az him? Turn
your back to him, you lousy bum. You
are blocking the whole run. Turn your
back TO him, ! say. You can't lead him
that way. If l come down there to you
III soon show you how to get him
aboard"
The blcar-eyod one became bcwil-
dcred and il his excitement lost his
footing on the slippery runway and fell
underneath the horse, at the same time
loosening his hold on tie halter chain.
The horse jerkod his head loose, reared
up, turned around and made a break
for the dock. The man or the eangway
tried to scramble out of the way. The
horse, in wheeling, let fly with both
heels and caught him below the right
ear with his near hind foot. With a
piercing shrek the drunk clasped both
hands to his head, fell over backward
and rolled down to the foot of the
gangplank and lay there in a crumpled
heap, the blood pouring from his nose,
mouth and the wound below his ear.
Upon hearing this shrek several Of
the mer leading their horses in their
fright turned them loose, and there
was a mad stampede on the dock.

The Office of the exemption board,
which Is the Office Of H. B. CuShman,
county clerk and clerk of the exemp-

Newport, has been busy place since
Monday morning, when the young
men of Orleans county who were
summoned before the board for ex-
animation began making their ap-
pearanee.
Little positive and definite infor-
nation IS yet available owing to the
fact that the exemption board, of
which O. c. Miller Of Newport, is
chairman, and DR.. J. F. Blanchard,
the surgeon, has had no time TO con-
slider exemption claims presented TO
them. A very large percentage Of
physical tests, but If they are ply
sically qualified for service, they
have 10 days IN which TO file an ap-
plication for exemption on the ground
of dependents.
Even then should the local board
allow exemption, the Monitor is IN
formed that states attorney St0d-

Beach and Bathing Notes.

The Barton Improvement club has
made some alterations in the bath
house which viii make the lockers
much more secure, and as soon as the
locks can be secured, are TO replace
the privately owned locks now used.
These are substantial fasteners of a
uniform design, the keys of which
viii be furnished locker users upon
deposit of twenty-five cents for each
key desired, this deposit will be re-
funded when the key is returned.
Some delay is being experienced in
getting the street bettered and the
poles and electric wires extended to
the beach, due largely TO the scar
city of help, but this will soon be ac-
complished
The club committee having the
bath-house in charge, have, for the
convenience of those desiring the use
of a locker, made arrangements with
Dean Mcclellan, and those wishing
lockers may call at his store and Sc
cure one for the season. The price
of $500 is low, barely covering up
keep on the building, and is so at
tractive that all the lockers were
taken last season.
Orleans patrons of Crystal Lake
bathing beach, which is having great
er patronage than ever, built a fine
raft with a spring board for diving.
This is a substantial addition to the
place and the Orleans people show a
progressive spirit in making this i'm
provement.
