A dispatch from Dangor, Me., Wultet E. Ducknam, of North

suys; Dix-

mont, had a furious hand to hand struggle with .t deer in thnt town re­ccntly, which' resulted in the death of the deer and the temporury destruc­tion of Bucknam's personal appear­ance. It was ellrly in the Illorning when

Bucknn.m I\rst disco\'cred the animal, II. fille buck, in the orchard 1Iel\1' his hllul;e. His gun wn.s londed with no­thing' henvier thnn bil'd shot, but he crept within thirty yards of the game and til'ed, the charge striking the buck in the neck. ,.,

Wi.th a mighty bound the deer took to the woods, with Ducknam in close pursuit. He was too much excited to reload his gun, nnd soon, with emp­ty weapon, he overtook the buck, standing behind SOUle bushes. The nnimal was not so badly wounded as llucknlllli . hnd supposed, und churged fie-I'cely, and then began u most ex­citing battle.

Bucknllm seized the deel' by the horns ·nnd thl'ow it, but when he let go to d"aw his hu ,ting knife the deer wall up like a Ilash and nt him with hoofs lind horns. 'I'iIne und ngni n did Duchunm throw· the deer, nnu as lIlallY timcs did the deer spring· to the attack before he could dmw his knife. FiunJly, by dodging behind It

tree, Duckuant Illunaged to gain tillle l'lWUg"ll to get his knife out and in the nc.xt clinch he cut the deer's throat. When the fight was Oyet' the hWlIer's clothes were in ribbons and his fuce, arms and body covered with cut.s nnd bruiscs from the buck's sharI' hoofs, which nre most effective \\'!'llI'Ons.

There is 110 chance of ~lr. Kruger being nllow­ed to retunl.

As she opened it 'l piece of paper fell out with the words, 'Think of me,' with no signa­ture, The next momcnt she sank in­~('nsible to the ground. Her little two-y?ar-old boy pkked up the envel­ope and was likewise overpowered with the poison with which the letter wall impreg-nated. The mother and child \\'01'1' found some time afterward in a death-like trance.

'I'he nraden case was again revived by a French woman calling at Bar­rie and having the body, buried in ruiHlake ior Braden in the family plot at Darrie cemetery, exbumed. After a look at the corpse she ordered it to bo put back without telling \\lheth­er she idp.nti fied it or not. From the remarks the visitor let fall it is thought she wanted to prove her husband dead and to marry again. The owner of the body was killed in Winnipeg two mOllths ago. The iden- ' tity was· established hy the wife and si:;ter. It is thought the woman is ],[rs. St. Dennis,' whose husband was thollght to have been the victim of the accident.

ConsolldllUon of Rural Schools.

A meeting of the Southwestern :!Ifunitoba Medical ·As.<;ociat.ion was held at Morden this week., Dr_ Lamont, the secretary of the as,:, sociatioll, droye O\'er from Tre­heme to Somerset, and from there took the train.

The Treheme branch of the Can­adian Bank of Commerce is distri­buting to its palrons and prospecti ,"e customers a folder containing a map of Canada, and also a memor­andum books whiell contain a lot of useful information and tables of measurement.

As annowlced last week, Rev. ~fr. Gordon of Winnipeg took the Methodist services 011 Sunday e,'ell­ing, :md was listened to by a large audience. The sermon was a well handled expOSition, showing a modern line of. reasoning. and was appreciated by the audience.

The tendency of the times to con­centrate energies is not confined to commercial and industrial concerns alone. \Ve are now to have it ap­plic'd to the public scnools. A few years ago the plail of centraiizing educational work was tried ill a rural district in Ohio. In one town­ship in that state there were nine small schools, in nine separate local­ities. These we.;e all amalgamated intQ,one district. and a central school was established. The consolidation is said to have worked admirably. The cost has.lx.'Ctl reduced, the m'er­age atte!ldallCe ot scholars has ill" c;;,;u;;ed and far better' results are obtained from an educational point of view. The scholars' are taken to the schools in ,·ans.
