Woods Experiences

Game Warden Ed Lowell of Lewis
ton had been listening to stories Of
experiences in the woods and at last
tions which would come to man
when he is IN danger. when he thinks
he has about reached the going out
point of this life.

tonia Derby a short time later. when
sChilhowee and Giblon romped home
ahead OF him. Like the only race
Man O'War ever lost, turf enthus-
lasts still are trying to explain how
1t happened. Black Gold obtained
revenge by beating Giblon by six
lengths in the Chicago Derby. He
thus equalled the record made in
1913 by Claude, the only other horse
that ever won four derbies in a year.
A chance to win in five derbies in a
single season slipped by at Ashland,
KY. when Bob Tail and Altawood
beat Black Gold. the favorite, BY a
nose. Turf experts began to wonder
if Black Gold was not being raced
too often to satisfy the demands of
the public.
Unlike famous thoroughbreds of
old. Black Gold was not bred in the
purple. There is some doubt as to
his mothers blue blood. Useeit be-
longed to an Indian, AL Hoots. When
Hoots died his wife carried out her
husbands wish and mated Useeit
with Black Tony, E. r. Bradley's
colt. Black Gold has won for Mrs.
r. NJ. Hoots in two seasons more
than 100000.
There is a little brother Of Black
Gold now at Useeits side at the Idle

SIDNEY MAN ENDS
LIFE BY HANGING
! WAS DESP0NDENT

Charles Pooler Of the Eight Rod road
in Sidney ended his life yesterday
morning by hanging himself to a lad
der In the barn at his sons residence.
He was found by his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. G. Fl. Pooler, who was at that
time alone with her four children in
. the house. her husband being at the
Maine Central Railroad shops in this
city, where he Is employed. Mr.. Pooler
was 81 years of age and had suffered,
shock about four years ago which
left him in poor health. He got up
yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, which
the family declared was earlier than
usual, and. without eating any break
fast, went into the barn and seated
himself in chair rs he had done many
times previous. About s o'clock Mrs
Pooler missed him and. going into the
barn, found him hanging under a lad
der about a foot above the floor by a
small rope. She summoned help and
Medical Examiner J. G. Towne of this
city was called. DR.. Towne pronounce
ed death by suicide when he arrived.
Mr.. Pooler, according to his family,
had been in poor health since his
| shoSk and Of late had been rather de-
spondent. His son, C. II. Pooler, de-
clared that the deceased had attempted
to Kill himself twice before, the first
| time shortly after he had the shock
and the second time about two years
ego. Both times he had tried to hang
himself. but his son had interviewed
and prevented the act. All this had
taken place at their home in this city
at 2O73 Water street. Since then both
| Mr.. and Mrs. Pooler had watched the
| man carefully.
The deceased was born in Waterville,
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Pooler,
Sr, and had lived in this city nearly
all his life, until the later part of
June when the family moved to Sid
ney. Previous to his shock he had
been employed in the Maine Central
| railroad shops In Waterville for 81
years as machinist. He was a wild

nus home. and four grandchildren are

Calcium Chloride to Rid Fair
Grounds Of Annoyinn Dust

One Of the things that will add to
the comfort Of the patrons of the
Central Maine fair this year will be
the absence of dust, which has al
ways been disagreeable feature of
the fair when the weather has been
good. This year. through the kind
ness of Mayor Tebbetts and the city
government, sufficient calcium
chloride has been turned over to the
fair association and all the ap-
proaches leading to the grounds and
the grounds themselves will be thor
ouRhly treated with the preparation
so that no matter If it Is hot and dry
the dust nuisance will not have to be
contended with.
Everything that is possible to have
done Is being done for the comfort
and pleasure of the people who will
attend the fair this year. and this is
Just one of the pleasing features that

Highest Favor For
Black Gold

Louisville. KY, Aug. u. "a. Ply
Too much popularity may affect
the turf career of Black Gold, as it
finally ruined famous Old Rosebud,
ten years ago, in the opinion of Ken
lucky turf experts who see in the
public clamor for the Hoots colt
many of the possibilities which
brought destiny to Old Rosebud.
Not since 1914. when Old Rosebud
won the Kentucky Derby and set the
record for the race at 1903 2-5. has
there been a racer held so high in
public esteem. Lovers of horsefesh
are showering their affections on this
black son of Black Tony and the
little Indian pony, Useeit.
Old Rosebud, after winning the
Derby in 1914. was sent East and
broke down during a race at Bel
mont. His owners sent him to Texas
and three years later he came back
and beat Roamer and other leaders.
He was so popular he was raced to
death and was destroyed two years
ago.
For several years no horse received
the admiration that was Old Rose
buds. Black Gold made a bid for
1t last winter when he won the
Louisiana Derby at New Orleans. He
was the favorite in the Kentucky
Derby and came from behind to win
the fiftieth renewal of that classic.
He went on to Cleveland and an
nexed his third derby. the Ohio event.
His first reversal came in the La

In this country as wel as others,
the principal mode of travel is by rail
or automobile. In this manner food,
merchandise and other necessities are
carried from one place to the other.
But in Alaska, whore the trackless
wilderness and the gigantic snow fields
are the general order for the greater
portion of the year the only means of
conveyance is the snow sled which is
drawn by the "Malamuts." or the
Husky" as the Alaskan dog is COM
monty called.
Strong as young OK and apparent
~ obliVious to the raging of the ele-
ments these brave and hardy dogs are
the pride of the Alaskans, who, with
out them, would be in even worse
straits than We would be without the
railroads or automobiles. No motter
how cold, these dogs are always ready
and willing to obey their masters and
even after thousands of miles of snow
covered waste have been travelled. they
are ever ready TO be up and going at
the beck of their two-legged compan-
ion who is always their friend and
comrade.-Sportsman Digest.
