Deer on Street.
Residents of Liberty street, New

male deer strolling leisurely down

ing that perhaps they might see an
airship, too, says the Union. The
animal came off the VanDuser prop
erty, and no one seemed to know to
whom it belonged. It was about
four feet high and a splendid speci
men. Hints for Stock Owners.
An easy way to fight lice is to
drive down posts In the yard; wind
an old. bran sack soaked in crude
kerosene about it and let the hogs
do the rest.
The next time you run up against
a contrary hog that refuses to go
through a chute into the wagon,
try the following plan: Clap a feed
basket over his head, and he will
back anywhere you want him to go.
By a little maneuvering you can
have the hog In the wagon before he
knows It.
Do not sell a faithful, worn-out
horse to a pedler. Five dollars Is
usually the most ho will give for
a horse, and few men would care
to be kept awake at nights by dis
turbing thoughts of how they came
by tho flvo dollars.
Man Killed on Eric.
Tracy Shannon, twenty-eight yenrs
of age, was hit by a train on tho Erie

ing in Blnghamton.
After being treated at Kimballs,
Shannon was sent to Scranton, ar
riving there at 5:30. He was con
veyed at once to the State hospital

Ho died immediately after the opera
tion. When Shannon arrived In

posure and loss of blood that it was
seen that he could not survive, the

remains were taken from the hospi
tal to the morgue of Jordan &
Walsh on Wyoming avenue, where
