FOUGHT With Owl.

An employee of the Helena Land and
Lumber company near Perkins. short
distance north of Escanaba, Mich, had
a desperate encounter with huge owl
while walking through the woods late
at might.
His first warning of the attack was
when he was struck on the head and
his fur cap pulled off. The great claws
Of the bird next were fastened to his
skull and his face.
After desperate fight in the dark
the man succeeded in securing a. good
hold on the owl and killed it by dash
ing it's head against tree. The owl
is on exhibition at the camp and is
said to be the largest ever killed in that
vicinity.

An APPRECIATIFE LETTER
FROM 4 LITTLE FRENCH LAD

Miss Mildred Evans, daughter o.
Hon. H. H. and Mrs. Evans, of her
own initiative along with some school
mates decided to adopt for one year
French orphan, and by this act to-
support one for a year. Some time
ago she received a beautiful letter Of
appreciation from the little boy and
also from his mother expressing their
gratitude for what the young ladies
had done for them in their time o.
trouble and want. 1t is written III
French but has been translated for
use of those who can not read the
French.
Accompanying the letters is D':"-
ture of the lad and also of his small
sister They are handsome pair Of
young folk and we had intended to
have cuts made CT them for use witn
the letters but have been unable to
do so. We will yet have the cuts made
as we would be pleased for our read
ers to have an idea of how the hand
some little pair looks.
Miss Evans has kindly consented for
US to make the statement in regard to
h 2r little French orphan and to print
the letters which she has received
and has also translated them for US.
1t is a noble spirit which prompts any
one to provide for the orphan at any
time and in any place. Nothing so
touches US as a young child 'bereft OF
father or mother, either the one O.
the other, especially during the sten-
der years of childhood and in this case
it is peculiarly touching and beauti-
full to provide for these little French
children.
The following are the two letters:

Death ard Burial of William Sample.

One of the saddest funerals that ever
took plar2 in Newberry was witnessed
in Rosemont cemetery Sunday after
neon at 4 O'Clock. The large crowd
that assembled there, standing in the
intense heat CT the blazing sun, bore
silent testimony to the deep sympa-
thy of the community in the death ct
this young man who gave his life
to his country. William Leslie Sam
ple. son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Sam
pIe. was the first from the city OF
Newberry to die in the cause, al
though he was scarcely Is years old
and had been only few months in
the service. His grave was literally
covered with 5eaut;f''' flowers, ar
other fitting testimonial to the fac.
that the great he" nf %ewber' Went
with the boy to his grave. beHause
death was the same as though it h? :
come on the battlefield, for he yoiu2-,
teered to die if need be for his coun-
trv
The funeral service was conductef
at the grave by the Revs. w e.
Bouknight and F. E. Dibole. Touch
ing hymns were sung and Mrs. P. c.
Gaillard sang a touching solo. The
nal,bearers were Burton Wells, Fred
Rodelsperger, Frank Davenport, Au-
brey Tilley, Leland Wilson and Joe
Thn'nasson.
When the sad news reached New

had been drowned in the discharge
of their duties in the navy on the
Florida coast, Mr.. Sample left FRIDAY
night for Fernandina. His sons BODY
had been recovered and was ldenu"
fed by the father, who went at once
to the sad task of bringing 1t nome
for burial. The first despatcneS
stated that young Suddeth was from
Newberry. This was a mistake as oe
was from Greenville. The latest news
from the scene of the tragedy was
that only two of the bodies OF. the
South Carolinians had been recovered
the others being those of Seamen

Robert Travis of Atlanta. 1t seems

fresh fish traffic from Alaska, and with the three companies working in unison in arranging their sched- ules, 1t is thought that much bet ter boat service will be supplied. The information about the new sched- ule is Contained in a copy of letter sent to J. C. Fletcher, superintendent of the coastwise shipping depart ment under the Federal Food Admin istration.
 Since the agitation about the poor boat service from Alaskan points was started, and the agitation for better service for the fresh fish dealers, the matter has been considered from every conceivable angle, and it was finally decided that the greater ser vice could be rendered by co-opera- tiOn on the part of the American transportation companies in arrang- ing their schedules. The new sched- ule does not apply to the boats on the Southwestern run as it would be impossible to keep them on a sched- ule which would work satisfactorily with the Southeastern boats.
 The new schedule as arranged has been submitted to a meeting of the fresh fish dealers of Seattle and Ia coma, who have agencies or who deal with Alaskan ports and has been approved by them Frequent con ferences have been held recently be- tween the steamship agents and fish dealers in these towns and the prob lens which confront both the dealers and the transportation men have been freely discussed, with the re- suit that a better understanding has been obtained and all concerned are now working on give and take basis for the better advancement of the fishing business.
