FIGHT WITH A WILD BOAR With Only a Small Hatchet Hunter Suceeeds in Killing Fleree Bey John Benham, an Adirondack gulde, who won distinction for several years in canoe paddling contests in sportsmen's shows. in New York, had a thrilling fight with a wild boar a few days agc at Big Tupper lake. He succeeded In killing the beast with a woodman's hatchet only, after a fight that threatened to end his own life. The boar was one of a horde imported from the Black Forest and placed in an immense preserve known as Litchtield park, near Blg Tupper lake. The boars managed to break out from the preserve. They have multiplled very fast during the last two or three years, it {s stated, and have wrought havoe among the deer. Hun- dreds of fawns and many does are sald to have been killed by the boars. Benham, who lives in Saranac lake, has a hunting camp on one of the smaller lakes. One day recently he went to Tup- per lake on busifess. He did not" take his rifle, as he had to carry his canoé several times during the eighteen-mile Journey and did not wish te be hampered with the weapon. His only weapons were @ large clasp knife ind a woodman's hatchen thrust through his belt. He says he owes his life to that little hatchet, as he had no time to get out and unclasp his knife when the fight began. While carrying his canoe over one carry near Blg Tupper lzke, Benham saw a couple of young fawns lying on the ground. He lald the canoe down and went over to where they were. Both were dead. Proceeding a liitle farther, he found their mother. She had been mangled while defdnding her fawns, and had just died. Benham heard a noise in the brushes, and turned just In time to avold a wild boar that rushed at him. Benham stepped quickly aside, drawing his hatchet from his belt. The boar turned with remarkable celerity apd agaln rushed at the guide, who once more sidestepped. As the boar rushed past him strick him with the hatchet, drawing blood, but doing him no permanent in- jury. The wound seemed to infuriate the brute, and its attack were renewed with startling vigor and swittness. The guide's high topped moccasins were torn by the boars’s tusks, and he began to feel that a revolver or a rifle would be a mighty handy thing to have. Finally, in one of the boars's rushes, Ben- ham managed to bring his hatchet down on the beast's neck, severing its spinal column, and the fight was ended.—New York Herald.

SOME LAW FOR HIGH FLYERS Alrships Are Trespassing When in Flight, According to Black- ston: When the railway, the telegraph and the telephone began to come into general use a new lot of special laws, born of the changed conditions that these great inven- tions brought about, sprang into existence. Now, to meet the new conditions that have arisen from the solving of the problem of | aerial navigation, 1t seems more than prob- | able that before long the laws of civllized | countries will have to be modified in many respects. The first hint of this has just come from a recent lawsuit in a London court, in which it was decided that an aero- naut could be held for trespass on a man's property simply because he passed over it |in & balloon. The balloonist's grappling iron {did a lttle damage In this case and the owner of the property got judgment for 8385, Balloons or aeroplanes passing over land | at a great height without letting more than their shadows fall upon it cause no injury {10 the property beneath, yet, according to [ #h4 laws as they now stand, they are gullty | of trespass. Until these laws are changed |any man who has a grudge against an aviator can undoubtedly start sult agalnst | him for flying over his property, and get | damages. “This legal view of the case is sound,” said a New York attorney yesterday, when questioned in regard to the matter. “It is which is one of the corner stones of real estate law in America and England. Black- stone says, ‘land hath also, In its legal sig- nification, an indefinite extent, upward as well as downward.' It is & common saying dary line of the adjoining property it has been established over and over again in New York that the owners of the building may be sued and damages recovered. Ap- plying this aspect of the land law it 1s easy to see that an aeroplane or balloon may do a lot of trespassing’ theoretically \in the course of one of its flights. That the flight dpes no actual damage ls immaterial. A man may walk across the property of an- other and do no damage, yet he is a tres- passer in the eyes of the law. It is also a trespass to suspend anything over a man's Jand, even if its preserice does not do him the most infinitesimal amount of harm. “There :are several cases where damages have been recovered in the courts for shoot- ing aver & man's land without tbuching any part of It or doing any damage. A man has stood on his own property and sont a bulleg through the air across the property of ‘another and has had to pay roundly for so-doing. “However carefully an airship may be made or driven there always will be a risk of its coming suddenly to earth. Theoretig- | ally, therefore, the land owner's property will thus be in peril. That {s one of the few nice legal questions that the judges of the future may have to determiné, and be- cause there are no laws or precedents abso- lutely to guide,them in the matter, new legislation will have to come to thelr ald. “Another branch of this new field of law will be the enactment of laws governing the rights of one aviator against another. As yet there are no rules of the road for afr navigation, because there are no roads. Therefcre, such questions as these will have to be settled shortly: What is negli- gence In the management of an aeroplane? Must & machine going north pass over or under a machine going south? Must a horn be carried of sufficlent power to give warning a long distance away?—New York Press, —— DIOCESE CONVOCATION AT WYMOR John Willlmms. Will Preach Anniversary Sermom.
