Milo Pearson and Phil Short
Charged With Violating
Game Laws.
Game Warden Cal Wright has re
turned from Ten Mile where he ar
rested Mllo Pearson for running deer
with dogs and Phil Short, who con
ducts a restaurant there, for selling
venison. Pearson first agreed with
Mr. Wright, according to the lat
ter's claim, that he would plead
guilty but according to the latest re
ports, he proposes to fight the case
which will be heard by Justice C. L.
Pennock in Marshfield Saturday.
Short was not brought in by
Wright because he had no one to
take caro of his place of business.
However, ho has sold the restaurant
and whether he will appear here now
to defend himself on the charge of
selling venison remains to be seen.
Mr. Wright had been informed
that a number at Ten Mile had been
running deer with dogs and then
slaughtering tho animals. He no
tified them that It must cease or they
would be punished. They failed to
heed the warning and he went out
and kept watch- He claims that
Pearson had the dogs, chase a fine
buck down Into the lake and then
Pearson shot him at close range.
Tho buck sank and Instead of com
ing to the top in two or three hours,
it did not come up for three days and
was spoiled.

Master Fish Warden McAllister
has appointed Mr. Wright water
warden for Coos county and as such
it will be his duty to see that every
one selling fish has taken out the
state license. The cost of the li
censes depends on the extent of the
sales. Anyone found selling fish
without a license will be punished.

CAT KEPT ALL AWAKE.
On Inaccessible Cupola Three Days,
Is Finally Rescued by Firemen.
NEW YORK, August C. Driven
to desperation after three sleepless
nights, residents of East Seventh and
Washington streets, Plainfield, N. J.,
appealed to the Fire Department to
get a terror-stricken cat clown from
a lofty porch on a barn.
The cat was chased by a dog, and
in its flight climbed to a corner of
a cupola by means of dead vines.
Thoro It remained and me-owed most
pitifully.
Former Judgo Coddington, counsol
for tho local S. P. C. A., was appealed
to, but men ho hired found it im
possible to get near the animal.
Thoro were no ladders long enough.
Tho Judgo asked tho Fire Depart
ment's aid, and Chief Doano ordered
tho aerial truck to the premises. It
was swung ovor tho barn nnd In n
jiffy a couple of firemen had climbed
up and brought down tho cut.

Money Raised at Enthusiastic
Meeting Last Night For New
Home.
In about twenty minutes last even
ing, Marshfield Aerie No. 538, Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, raised suffi
cient funds to start their fine new
home on Sheridan avenue near Penn
sylvania, the site for which was pur
chased a short time ago. The meet
ing which was held In their present
hall was largely attended and evey
one was enthusiastic over the pro
posed new home and extended thMr
aid in raising the funds. The nen
Aerie will be a frame structure 75x
100 feet, two Btories high. The first
floor will contain at least two store
rooms while the second story will i.o
fitted up as a lodge hall and horn",
I making one of the finest in this sec
tion of the state.
J It Is estimated that the new home
will cost $6,000 and this is being
raised by forming the members of
the local Aerie into a stock company
and then issuing bonds. Only mem
bers of the orders can subscribe.
Chas. A. Howard, one of the lead
ers In the movement, said today that
'the construction of the home would
be started at once and that it would
be enclosed before the rainy season
opens. The new building will pro
vide club and social features for the
members.
Last evening, Robert Tlerney, the
worthy president of Eureka Aerie,
No. 130, was the guest of the local
Aerie. He and Mrs. Tlerney were
en route to Seattle to attend the na
tional convention of the order.

Marshfield Aerie will be the delegate
from Marshfield and will leave for
Seattle early next week.

BILL THE FISHERMAN OF HOL-
LEY GUT BROOK, TELLS A
WONDERFUL NATURE STORY.
PORT JERVIS, N. Y., AugUBt 6.
William Simmons, who lives up Hol
ly Gut Brook way, and Is a veteran
fisherman, was out for trout. He
has a very old habit of catching trout
not the kind that are a foot long
or weighing two or three pounds
each, but tho respectable sort that
come within the length of the law.
You see, Bill believes In telling the
truth about fish and other things.
Recently Bill reports he was
compelled to quit fishing on account
of flames and smoke. The brush and
scrub oak covering many acres had
scrub oak covering many acres had
been set on fire, along tho Holley Gut
Simmons says he crossed the brook
along with such reptile and animal
life, driven his way by the fire.
A score of black snakes nnd about
three score of squirrels held a hur
ried consultation on the bank. Then,
says Bill, the snakes twined them
selves together and going up stream
bounded Into the rushing water of
the brook. But the tall of the last
bounder was still twined about a
bush. The current carried the rope
of snakes to the opposite shore,
where the leader, quick as a wink,
twined about a bush. Thus was
formed a living, squirming bridge.
"Across this bridge, you see, It
was easy for tho squirrels to dart to
safety on the other side. They were
gray and red and chlpmunk'squlrrels.
When all had crossed the snake on
the off shore loosened Its tall hold
to the brush and tho snake bridge
was swept down stream to the lef
shore, where the reptiles gracefully
uncoiled and squirmed across the
fields far away from the fire."
Bill explains that the squlrrelf
seemed to have "put the snakes on
to something." Investigating, he
discovered that the reptiles had beer
directed to where a colony of toad?
lived, and in a jiffy there was not a
single toad, big or little, in that
puddle. The snakes made a very
pleasant meal of them.
"So you see," said Bill, tacking a
mcral to his tale, "It pays snakes
sometimes to be kind to squirrels.'
