Joe McDonald, of Pnnxsntawdey, is visiting old friends in town. Chad Stanley is now overseeing the Balnsp House restaurant. Dave Reynolds swears by his barometer and it generally denotes the sort of weather in rather an accurate manner. Saturday, however, it slipped a couple of cogs, and fooled Dave into scattering out soma hay that he had "cocked" up the day before. It had clouded up and thunder was heard in the direction of the Beech Woods settlement, when he and four boys commenced the scattering process. The boys insisted upon letting it alone, and told their fisther that it would certainly rain in a short time. He heeded them not. Had he not consulted the barometer, and did it not denote clear weather ? But when in leas than half an hour the heavens seemed to open, the rains descended and beat upon that bay field, Dave smote himself vigorously and said some very naughty things about his weather indicator. Upon investigating its running gears he found the balanoe wheal was out of plumb, the piston needed packing, the nvene lever would not work and the tender had a flat wheal. It Is now undergoing repairs at Herpel's machine shop and will be doing bnsineK properly in a couple of days.  Irvin Winslow had quite an exciting ride Monday morning, which was not marked on the schedule. Irvin is a car dropper at Big Soldier and had started from the tipple with a 00,000 capacity gondola. As it neared the scales he commenced tightening the brake, and in doing so broke the chain, which left him powerless to check the speed of the car, and as the grade is quite steep from there to the Sprague mine junction its momentum increased with each revolution of the wheels. Luckily the track was clear and the car dashed through the split switches at a John Qipin pace. To jump off wonld have been suicidal and to stay on seemed little better. However, he choso the latter and came* out unscathed. The dinkey engine working at the new coke ovens started in pursuit of the runaway whistling for the crossing, but it was not equal to the task of catching the flying gondola. On past Prescottville, the old coke ovens and the company store it sped in its mad (light, nor slacked its speed until the sharp curves near the old foundry caused it to slow up and eventually stop within a few rods of Main street crossing. The dinkey then caught it by the rear end and yanked it back to where it belonged. ponod Since Ijast \\V<ln»»«d»y. Interesting Things Which Have Hsp- Alex Kiston and party returned to town •Saturday evening after haying spent almost three weeks in camp near Burtop's farm, in the Beechwoods. They brought home a couple of young raccoons which were captured under rather pathetic circumstances. One day last week one of Dick MeCouucll's hired men upon going to the field saw one of these procyon lotors crossing the road and picking up a stone threw it at his coounhip— struck it on the head and killed it. That same evening a couple of the kids from camp tied a rope*to it and dragged it to headquarters where it remained until time for burial. The second day theAeaftcr, as the party was sitting in front of the cook house Bob Donaldson called the attention of the audience to something coming down the road. It was two young coons side , by side following the trail of their mother who had l»een dragged over that same road two days before. They would sniff the ground and then look up at the trees on either side of the road as if in expectation of seeing her on whom they relied for sustenance but who, alas, tvas clasped in the embrace of death and her body in the cold, cold ground. As they neared the camp Alex and Bob started out and captured the little orphans. They were almost famished and as docile as kittens. Milk was administered to them with a spoon at first but they soon learned to drink it with alacrity and a little sugar. They are now snugly domiciled in one of the windows of Biston's cigar store. .. ■ • 1 i K'-"v 1'
