Ferocious Animal Fastened Teeth
Upon Aged Mans Hand.

A. NJ. Kenzie, IA years of age, of
Mitchell, s. d., started out to look
at his traps, and at a certain point
in the bluff observed q freshly dug
hole. Dropping On his knees he pro-
ceeded to investigate, whereupon a
large coon ferociously attacked him,
fastening his teeth in Mr.. Kennels
hand.
He fought the animal as best he
could, and finally succeeded in get
ting his knife out Of his pocket Open.
ing the blade with his teeth he made
an effort to cut the coon's throat,
but the beast had SO badly lacerated
his arm and hand that ii was almost
impossible for the old gentleman to
subdue him. Finally he succeeded in
cutting the coon's windpipe, but not
until the animal had torn the flesh
from his hand and arm and com
pletely shredded his cat sleeve up to
the shoulder.

question will be given for the time
precedence over other questions and

The settlements that belong espe.

HAND GRENADES G0NE,
They Threw Stones
Loss of Equipment Fails to Kill
the Fighting Spirit of
the YankS.

The fighting spirit that made the
American army Irresistible is illustrat-
ed in the case Of Private Michael ].
Feeney of Company G, One Hundred
and Fourteenth infantry regiment,
Twenty-ninth division, who, with his
buddy" named Brady, put a German
squad to flight by hurting stones at
them. The incident Is related In a
letter received in New York from
First Lieut.. 7. j. b. Lang, Feeney's
commanding officer, who vouches for
its authenticity. Lieutenant Lang
volunteered from Jersey City, while
Feeney's home is in Bayonne, N. ].
The Tw%enty-ninth division was in
heavy fighting in a wooded district In
or near the st. Mihiel sector.
"Feeney and his running mate.
Brady, were occupying the same bunk
hole in the woods" writes Lieutenant
Lang. There was just some tangled
underbrush between them and the
lines of Boches close in front. Dur
ing the early morning some Boches
who evidently had come up during
the night got close enough to hurl
their hand grenades into our lines.
We were not in trenches. We had
gone far, far beyond them.
Zone Hun hurled a grenade quite
accurately and it landed on the edge
of the hole which was the hunting
lodge Of Feeney and Brady. Feeney
saw the grenade coming and jumping
himself, he hauled his Comrade,
Brady, after him into the next hole
less than q foot and a half to the
right. OF course he didn't have time
to save his equipment.
1.-The grenade exploded with a ter
rible noise. 1t shattered the stock
of Feeney's rife, making it useless,
but Feeney wasn't long in deciding
that the Dootchmen' were a dirty LOT
and needed a beating. He had no gun
and no grenades so, with a curse al
the kaiser and his servants, he stood
up in plain view of the enemy and
threw rocks and stones at the Huns
n few yards away.
"They evidently didn't feel safe fac
ing Feeney and his mate, Brady, and,
thinking they were due for a shower
of %grenades, beat a mighty hasty re
treat for their own territory"

A SPLENDID r

For the benefit of the Negroes of the
United States the Presbyterian Church
has just appropriated $500, 900 as a
part of its New Era program. This
wills will be used under the direction
of the Freedmen's Board of the Pres
byterian Church for the education of
the Negro youth of the country.
In announcing its plans the Presby-
terrain Church says:
THE unsurpassed loyalty of the Ne
gro soldier, and his courage, obedi-
ence, and patriotism; the devotion and
conservation of his entire race in this
land, to follow the flag, and meet our
national responsibility; his ungrudg-
ing enlistment, despite a justified con
seriousness of much injustice and de-
NAL Of rights, have shown him worthy
of u confidence and praise.
"He has the right to think a New
Era has dawned. He has the right
aid for the illiterate and unguided,
more and better preachers to offer the
true Gospel. We must turn the one
foomed, miserable cabin into a neat
and attractive home, train Negro men
and women to be pure hearted parents,
help the race to clean ambitions, to
pure amusements, nor e~leyating con
d%itions, and give the Negro the privi-
lege of developing fully, and without
unlawful restraint, every talent and
every power"
