A SOUTHERN GAME COCK WAS
TOO SMART FOR A HAWK.

Il. G.. Willis has on his place, 10 or
II miles north Of here, q rooster that
has sense like a horse. Willis says
that for the past month hawk has
been playing havoc with his poultry,
and all his efforts to get rid OF the
bird proved fruitless. Being much
away from the house during the day
Willis had little or no opportunity to
get a shot at the bird, whose visits
seemed to be timed purpOsely to suit
his absence. Last Sunday, however,
Willis stayed at home from church In
the interest of his hen-roOst and load
ed his gun for hawk. About noon the
bird appeared, dipping down without
any warning and sinking his claws
into n big Brahma hen. Willis made
ready to fire as soon as the hawk be-
gan to mount. He seemed pretty
slow about mounting, however, and
it soon became evident that he could
not to do so. His greediness had caus-
ed him to reckon beyond his strength;
the big Brahma was too heavy. Will
lis was going out to rescue the hen
when a slim young game rooster APP
peared upon the scene OF action evil
ueHtly pTepdTtu W thhc pat "hS
waited to see what would happen.
Without much ado the rooster lit in
to the hawk tooth and toenail, Civ
ing him such a pecking and squirting
that the big bird was glad enough to
let go his hold Of the hen, which
went off clucking and squawking
nightly. The hawk, however, was no
SLOUGH. Turning upon the rooster,
with evil intent. the two together
kept things pretty lively for the space
Of a few moments. feathers flying
and blood spilling on both sides.
BY and by the rooster seemed to be
weakening. At all events he began
to recede. but his heels and head
struck out as lively as ever. Presently
his backing brought him up to barb
ed-wire fence, and here he held his
grotnd for moment, striking so fore
IDLY as to rile his. hawkship beyond
measure. In fact, the bird seemed
maddened beyond control, when just
at this critical moment the rooster
sprang through to the other side OF
the fence, leaving the hawk to beat
against the wires till 1t soon became
impaled, caught hard and fast on the
barbs. 49,
Willis lost no time in capturing the
hawk, and the rooster crowed Justify
over the victory.-Lampasas, Tex,

An Exciting Game at Fort Sam Hous-

The Peacock and West Texas Mill
tary academy football teams lined up
at Fort Sam Houston yesterday after
noon to battle for honrs on the grid
iron. A large crowd was in attend
ance and the game was a most excit-
ing one. Everything went well I'M
til the second half, when, with the
score 4 to the game broke up in a
row. The Peacocks had made a
touchdown, but the referee would not
allow it claiming that John Springall,
full back for the Peacocks, had trip
ped one of the West Texas players.
The Peacocks deny this and claim
they played fair game. Upon the
referees refusal to allow the touch
down the Peacocks walked of the
field and refused to play.

BRIGHTS' DISEASE

Nearly Causes The Death OF An Ath-

Special Wire To Sunday Light.
Galveston, Tex, Dec. 5.-Hayes
Brook, aged 10 years, brother-in-law
Of DR.. Allen ]. Smith, professor OF
pathology, in the medical branch Of
the state university, became uncon-
scious in bath room today and fell,
breaking a wash bowl. Severe cuts
inflicted in his back and other parts
of the body caused profuse bleeding.
1t was Brooks custom to spend Satur-
day with his boy friends and it was
supposed he had gone to town and he
wasn't missed. The effort of some
children to enter the bath room just
before DR.. Smith came to dinner led
to his discovery. The blood and wa
ter had mixed and the bath room
when DR.. Smith looked over the tran
som, presented q CHASTITY spectacle.
1t was ascertained upon examination
that a very acute case of Bright's
disease had caused his unconscious
ness. The young man was nearly
dead when found and is in a very
critical condition. He was quite an
athlete and apparently in perfect
health. He played football great
deal. 1t is believed that over-exer-
ton and overheating in this game
caused a development Of the disease.
He played at Houston one week ago.
He formerly lived in Philadelphia but
came to live with DR.. and Mrs. Smith
upon the death Of his parents four
years ago. Mrs. Smith died in Oc-

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 5.-The
Fitzsimmons-Sharke fight is being
fought over and over again on every
street corner OF San Francisco. Pro-
fessional men, merchants, horsemen,
millionaires and men of every voca-
ton in life save churchmen may be
seen illustrating Just how the Austral-
ian put Sharkey to sleep.
Sharkey is resting easy and will be
on the street within week. DR..
Taussig, doctor for the National Ply
steal club, does not hesitate in the
opinion that Sharkey did not receive
any such blow as his hackers claim
FitZsimomns administered.
Another leading physician who in
spected the sailor, is Of the opinion
that Sharkey was "doped" with iodine
to bear out Earp's claim Of foul.
OF all the physicians who examined
Sharkey, but two are Of the opinion
that he was truck foul. One OF the
two is the mysterious "Dr." Lee
whom nobody seems to know, and the
other is friend Of Danny Lynch.
Half a dozen reputable physicians
were at the door of Sharkey's dressing
room when the sailor was brought to
the room at the conclusion Of the
fight. vet none were permitted to in
spect him, until "Dr." Lee, had con-
cluded his examination an hour later.
The purse has not been paid and the
indications are there will be a legal
battle which will eclipse the ring en-
counter.
Such men as Adolph Spreckles, Ma
jor Mclaughlin, Nose Gunst, VIM.
Greer Harrison and Hiram Cook are
behind Fitzsimmons and Julian, while
Sharkey's supporters are few.

WAR ON RATTLESNAKES.
So Troublesome that an Armed Force
Had to Go After Them.
d. q. Tf:,..s

Bellefonte, Pa, June CIV. |. Harvey,
contractor OF some OF the five numbering
Jobs on Hayes run, in the Allegheny
Mountains, tells tale Of rattlesnakes that
might seem increduloUs were 1t not known
to be true
1t seems that for some time past the
locality around these camps became so in
tested with rattlers that the woods ap-
peared perfectly alive with them, and it
became extremely dangerous to work near
places where there were any rocks, or
places where a snake could successfully
locate. So troublesome did the snakes be-
come that ii was deemed prudent to go On
d campaign against them.
Accordingly a few days ago all hands
prepared for siege by arIning themselves
with guns, clubs ami everything that would
answer for a warfare of this kind, and went
on n hunt for Mr. Snakeship. 1t is almost
needless to say they were found, and that
in such great numbers as to almost sta gg.%
their assailants. Under every rock. in
every crevice, by the sides and under rnt-
ten logs, and wherever snake could find a
retreat, rattlers were found, and the num-
ber killed up to last evening footed up Just
100. The snakes were OF all sizes and ages,
measuring from three feet to almost seven.
and having rattIes up to twenty-four. The
killed did not include the very small ones,
nor did il include those OF other varieties,
Of which there were hundreds.
Last year this camp was troubled very
little with rattlers, blt about twelve miles
west of there, near Cato. they were 81
plenty that party of six who went on u
hunt for them, succeeded in killing 229 in
two days, and at one place in overturning
a stone uncovered pile of rattlers big
enough to fill a bushel basket. From this
it would seem as if the RATHER was mi
grating reptile, as the Cato locality is rot
infested to such an extent this year.

his youthful salutors were. and on being
told he expressed the desire to meet them.
Mr.. Holcomb sent word TO the boys and
designated the time at which Gen. Grant
would receive them.
us four had gone back from the gate
we'll satisfied with the outcome of their
plans and delighted that the general had
noticed and waved his hand 10 them: but
when the summons came for a personal
interview their JOY was unbOunded.
AT the appointed time they presented
themselves AT the legation under the care
of the father of one of the pairs. Prince
King was just aviDg from his mem ora bic
call on Gen. Grant
The general received the boys in the
private parlors of the legation and taking
each one of them by the hand he Introduced
them TO Mrs. Grant There was no one
else present and the general gathered those
four boys around him and told them how
touched he felt by their welcome and the
sight of their little flags; how pleased he
was TO find them so full of fervor and
patriotism although living in O heather
land so far away from home. The boys
sat in wonder as the soldier told them how
proud they should he OF their country and
closed with an eXhOrtation for each one
to prove himself a worthy American and
to never do aught to disgrace his country.
Shaking hands with his guests at the end
the general said: We'll. boys. If ever
write n book of my travels / shall men,
tion in it your welcome to me at the gates
of Peking.' And no prouder boys ever
went from the presence OF greatness than
''us four on that day.
