Convict Curry's Thrilling Escape From
Prison on Harris Island.
Daniel c. Curry, % years old, member
of the Eighth Regiment, National Guard,
and plasterer by trade. appeared unex-
pectedly at his home, 30 East One Hundred
and Tenth street. fortnight or more ago
and astonished his wife, who supposed he
was still a prisoner at Harris Island.
Cnrry's neighbors thought his term of i'm
prisonment had expired Curry himself
kept his lips closed and enjoyed life
amazingly. Policeman Porteli of the
Eighty eighth street Police Station
walked into the house on Tues
day, however, and arrested Curry on
charge of escaping from prison. How did
Curry escape? That was the subject of an
interesting story told in court by Curry and
Keeper N. S. Rohan of Harris Island, who
had come 10 the city to get him. Curry was
quiet prisoner. lie soon won the favor of
the keepers, and was put to work with a
gang in potter'S field. Many liberties were
permitted him that the others did not have.
When the keeper called the men together at
night on June Goth and marched them To
quarters Curry slid away and sKnlked
along the bushes on the roadside until lie
reached the dead-hOuSe, where he pushed
himself in through an open window and
climbed over pile OF plain wooden collins.

down and drew the cover on. Until night
he stayed in the coffin. Then he climbed
ont and finding the body of a man brought
there for burial proceeded 10 strip the
corpse of its clothing. He clothed the body
in his convict suit and put on the dead
mans clothes. Then Garry stole out of the
window and ran down to the shore to make
his escape. A storm was gathering
and not soul could be seen. The
waters tossed a heavy log upon the
shore and Curry seized it and rolled it to
one side. From board fence near by the
convict ripped iof four plankS and dashed
them together with rope and sea-weed
picked up from the shore. Ha used no
nails lest he should attract the attention of
the guards. Placing the boards on the log,
be procured a long strip of wood, and,
mounting tue rude raft, pushed off from the
shore and padded southwark in the storm.
Three times he was thrown of, but he suc-
ceeded in getting on the raft again, and
padded along. lie drifted down the
Sound, opposite Berrian Island, a dis
lance of ten miles, when he was tossed
from his raft and swan to the shore ex-
hausted. 1t then was about o'clock in
the morning. 1t was midfOIenoOn when
Curry hailed three men in a row-bUat,
whom he told that he had been out rowing
and his boat sunk. The b6atmen took him
to this city. The keepers on the island did
not discover Curry's escape until morning.
They believed he had tried to swim to City
Island, distance of a mile and half, and
finally concluded that he had been drowned.
Keeper Rohan learned at the Eighth Regi-
ment Armory where the conyicPS wife
lived. He visited the mouse with Policeman
Portell and found Curry.-N. \. special 10

At Sehuetzen Park, Shell Mound
and Harbor View.
Bulls. Eye Shooting, Medal Contests and Prize
Events Coed Scores Made at the Elm
tracht Prize Shoot

The range at Shell Mound was well pa
tronized yesterday. The different companies
composing the National Guard feel recuper-
ated after their encampfnent at Santa Cruz
and have settled down to work. They will
once again become regular patrons OF the
rifle range. and endeavor to show by their
scores that they pay particular attention to
this necessary accomplishment OF guards
man.
The weather yesterday was all that could
be desired. A pleasant breeze prevailed for
greater portion of the day and carried off
the powder smoke after the discharge of
each shot.
Company d, Captain E. III. Kennedy, of
the Third Regiment brought a large num-
Der Of men to face the butts, and some ex-
cellent scores were made by The partici-
pants. This is one of the companies of the
Third Regiment that makes regular prac-
tice of appearing for rifle-shooting twice a
month, and their scores show a steady ad-
yancement in craftsmanship.
The Second Artillery Regiment held their
monthly medal contest and the members
tried hard to win the trophies offered.
Batteries and Of the Second Artillery
were hard at work before the butts. Many
good scores were made by the contestants
Battery c is one of the old shooting COM
panies, and can always be looked to for
good scores.
Company D, Captain Jansen, of the First
Regiment, paid their usual visit to the
range TO compete for the handsome trophies
which the company places at the disposal
of its marksmen. The attendance was not
as large as usual. but those present had
plenty of room at the target, and took adj
vantage of the opportunity of firing many
more scores than the law requires.
Company G of the Third Regiment are
determined to gain laurels on The range,
and intend to be regular contestants for
honors gained with the spiral groove, six
pound pull.
Company F OF the First Regiment,
Captain Mango, are regular visitors to Shell
Mound and can always be looked tn for
excellent scores. The company embraces
among its members some of our well-known
military shots and they spend their time
while on the range in teaching the recruits
the way to become rifiemen.
The San Francisco SchuetZen Verein
were at the range for their monthly BULBS
eye shoot. The attendance was not as large
rs customary, for many IF the members have
not got rested from their recent excursion
to Santa Cruz Captain Bolts states that
the citizens OF Santa Cruz were untiring in
their efforts TO make everything pleasant
Tor the SchuetZen during their stay in that
city, aud that the trip will be pleasant
thought in the memory of all who took
part.
The scores made by the different CON-
panies competing are as follows:

VICTORY AT LAST.
The Pacific Club Wins It's First Pennant
Match.

The Pacific Club Wins It's First Pennant
Match.
The hoOdoo" is off and the Pacific
Cricket Club won its first match In the pen
Dant series yesterday. Their opponents
were the Burnaby Club, for whom it may
be said that they were playing man short
and were without the services of Newton
and Warren, two of their best batsmen.
The game proved, as anticipated, Sery close
on the first innings, the Pacfics being only
six runs in the lead. But the Burnabys
made poor showing in the second, and, as
summary shows, the Pacifics won by ma
joTity of 131 The Pacifies won the spin of
the coin, and a fair start was made by Hill
aI4 Ward, twenty runs being regis
of Benefits bye. The runs came
slowly. and quiet play characterized the
whole OF the innings. Ward was top
scorer with a well-played is, and the only
other player to make double figures was j.
J. TheobaId, whose II was a timely contri-
button. The Burnabys, on The contrary,
made a poor start, and their prospects
looked slim, with Reynolds, Orbell and
Bennett all out for 9 runs. Franklin and
klberga changed the appearance of the
game by lively hitting and the result looked
again doubtful. Franklin left with the
total al 40, and another short stand resulting
when Nicks joined Tiffin made the chances
Of Pacific victory still more problematical.
A good catch put out Tifin with the total
at 81, ami the remaining men were ratified
cut quickly.
The Pacifcs had thus the game well in
hand, with only bare chance OF losing by
cOllapsing in the second inning. A pro-
longed stand for the second wicket soon
put the issue out of doubt Howelrs Ga

WOLVES HUNTING BUFFALOEs.
An Attack Upon an Old Veteran Bull on
the Great Western Plains.

An Attack Upon an Old Veteran Bull on
the Great Western Plains.
a far Western traveller gives the follow ing
account OF an attack by wolves on a buffalo,
in the days when both wolves and buffaloes
swarmed on the great Western plains:
During my travels in those regions l
have several times come across such gang
OF these animals surrounding an old or a
wounded buffalo, where it would seem from
appearances that they had been for several
days In attendance, and at intervals desper-
ately eDgag in the effort to take his life.
But short time since, as one Of my hunt
ing companions and myself were returning
TO our encampment with our horses loaded
with meat, we discovered at a distance a
huge bull encireled with gang of white
wolves.
p" We rode up as near as we could without
driving them away, and, being within
pistol shot. We had remarkably good
view. where l sat for few moments and
made sketch in my note book, after while h
we rode up and gave the signal for the
wolves TO dSperSe, which they insta ntly
did, withdrawing themselves to the distance
OF fifty or sixty rods; when we found, to
our great surprise, that the animal had
made desperate resistance until his ewes
were entirely torn out of his head, the
gristle OF his noss was mostly gone. his
tongue was half bitten off and the skin and
hesh ef hls legs were torn almost literally
into strings.
q" In this tattered and torn condition the
poor Old veteran stood bracng up in the
midst of his tormentors, who had ceased
hostllltles for few minutes to enjoy sort
of parley, recovering strength and prepar-
ing to resume the attack in few moments.
In this group were some reclining to gain
breath, while others were sneaking about
and licking their chops in anxiety for a re-
newai OF the attack; and others, less lucky,
had been crushed to death by the feet or
horns of the bull. l rode nearer to the
pitable object as he stood bleeding and
tnmbling before me, and said to him:
Now is your time, old fellow, and you had
better be Off Though blind and nearly de-
stroyed, there seemed evidently to be IL
recognition of a friend in me, as he straight
ened up. and, trembling with excitement,
dashed off at full speed upon the prairie in a
straight line.
I" We turned our horses and resumed our
march, and when we had advanced mile
or more We looked back and on our left,
where we saw again the Inflated animal
surrounded by his tormentors. to whose
Unsuitable voracty he unquestionably suon
fell a victim.-N. Y. Ledger,
