the Adirondacks the other day, land
some of the Adirondack hunters and
guides are making nice little sums by
occasional sales of the curiosity that is
demanded. You see, the old story about
the bucks that fall to fighting and in
some manner get their horns locked 50
that they can't get apart and then starve
to death has taken strong hold upon
the romantic natures Of many persons,
and If they can only got . set of locked
horns mounted they are happy. So
the hunters select nice horns that
correspond as to size, and by the use of
a twisted cord and case, spring them
together as If locked in their death en-
ing bucks Then, on account of their
great rarity and the difficulty Of find
ing them, they are sold to the rich
curiosity hunter for a good price. His
friends look in wonder and envy at
them, while he recounts the story told
him by the guide, who found their skel-
eton held together by the horns, and the
earth all trodden down around the place
SO solidly that vegetation has not grown
there in years, etc., and the guide goes
back to the woods and fixes up another

enough on each occasion to make matters in

if they were going to pulverize Mr.. Staley but
he settled down after the initial inning. and
they couldn't touch him. Radford opened hos
ulities tor his side with corking three-bagger
into Carrolrs territory. Delehanty was retired
at first. but Larkin and Tebeau each followed
with good singles. and. of course. Radford got
comfortably home. Stricker sacrificed Lsrkin
to third, and he stayed there, as Carney struck
out.
In the third inning Staley led of, and got his
base on balls. Fields sacrifice sent him to Sec
ond, and Visner's sacrifice sent him to third.
Staley scored on Beckley's long triple to GEN.
ter, and Jake got home on CarrolTs single to
left.
The visitors tied the score in their half of the
inning on Delehanty's single, Quinn's wild
throw and Tebeau's sacrifice.

retired, huehne going to second. Staley's
single to right scored huehne. In the seventh
