RODE ON A BUCKS BACK.
An Adirondack Hunter Meets With a
Thrilling Adventure.

An Adirondack Hunter Meets With a
Thrilling Adventure.
Jerry Thompson is an excellent trapper
and man of great fearlessness, but he
doesn't particularly care to repeat the
adventure that recently befell him. When
man plunges through wild and rugged
region on the back of en- infuriatcd deer,
he is having an experience which falls to
the lot of few, il any, men, and which
they, 1t may be safely assumed, little care
to have happen them, says the Philadel-
phia Times.
That was Jerry's experience recently.
The fact that he was not killed by the
deer was due to his quick wit and extreme
agility. jerry was wandering about the
Adirondacks in search of game, when he
suddenly encountered a big buck. The
meeting was so unexpected that both man
and animal were for the moment too sur
prised to act. Quick as was Jerry the
buck was quicker and before the luckless
hunter fully realized his position he was
rolling over and over on the ground with
the raging animal stamping furiously at
him.
Jerry struggled to his feet, but before he
had regained an upright position the buck
came at him with lowered head. 1t tossed
its huge antlers wildly about and had it
not been for sudden resolve that flashed
across his mind Jerry would have been
1mpaIed upon the sharp prongs. When
the buck was Just about to spear him
Jerry clutched the animals antlers, and
in another moment he was astride the
much-surprised bucks back. Then came
series of snortings, buckings and kick
ings which discounted the antics of any
bucking bronco that Jerry says he has ever
seen.
Half mile was traversed before any
thing like low tree came in the direction
of the bucks mad chase. Jerry braced
himself; he felt sure that if ne were struck
by the lower limbs of the tree nothing
short of a miracle would save him. The
tree, happily, was not young one, but
one that was stunted, and had possibly for
many years withstood the furious blasts
of wind that had howled through that
wild and desolate region. Its limbs were
stout.
On few the deer. Nearer and nearer
came the tree. Jerry in his furious race
imagined that it was racing toward him,
eager to lay him low at the bucks feet.
When almost directly under the limb
which projected across the deer pathway
Jerry by powerful effort raised himself
up and with a clutch of steel grasped the
friendly limb of the tree and swung him
self clear of the bucks back. In another
moment he had drawn himself up into the
tree. With an angry snort the buck
turned and charged at the tree. Stout as
was the tree. Jerry felt the impact dis.
tinctly when the maddened head of the
deer struck.

GRAMMAR HAD HIS
nDOPE" WITH HIM
The Plunger Took Nearly
$4,000 Out of the
Ring.
Had His Coin on Every Winner
With the Exception of Shield
Bearer.
Palm ars ton Scored the First Time
0ut-Thelma Beat KamSin in
Hard Drive.

When Riley Grammar. the plunger, arose
from his couch yesterday morning he
must have taken down from his shelf of
turf "dope" books one labeled mud, P"
for the slim young man from Kentucky
was in high-class form. He began the
day by backing Palmerston, who captured
the opening race, and followed it up by
playing the succeeding three winners. He
went astray on Shield Bearer, who finished
third in the final race Oh the card, but is
accredited with removing to his inside
pocket between $4,000 and $40, 900 of the
rings surplus cash.
The track was in fearfully slushy con-
dition from the continuous downpour of
rain, and of course the mudlarks were in
demand. The crowd was quite successful
in picking them, as three we'll backed
favorItes splashed in ahead of their fields.
With one exception the finishes were
close, being won in hard drives.
Palmerston, an Eastern horse running
in the colors of L. II. Kline, took the first
race of the day, backed down from to 5
to to 10. Passing Jack Atkins and Mic
Mac opposite the paddock he beat the
hrst-named geldlng out a neck in 1:05.
Kamsin, the homely son of Blazes, came
very, very close to landing the purse in
the event following, over seven and half
furlongs. Backed from 7 to to 13 to 10
he had the IL to 10 choice, Red Glen, in
difficulties at the head of the stretch, and
soon assumed the lead. The last furlong
young Dennison on Thelma got a great
move on, and catching Kamsin at the pad
dock the pair INDUCED in hard drive
which resulted in the brown mare getting
the verdict by short head. The winner
was as good as to in the betting.
The little midget jockey. Johnny Woods,
rode the to favorite Ricardo in the
next race-a five and half furlong dash
decided under selling conditions-with the
skill of a veteran. Getting the gelding
away from the post second, he fell back to
fifth position and then making his run
through the stretch reached the stand two
lengths before Petrarch, which horse came
fast at the end. Hueneme finished in the
show.
Although an unknown quantity in the
mud, Osric II was made 3 to favorite
for the six furlong selling sprint for two
year olds. Principe had taken the lead
from Lady Looran by the time the bend
for home was reached, and in a furious
drive with the first choice the last six
teenth beat him out half length LADY
LooTan was good third.
Eight fast sprinters went to the post in
the final i've and half furlong spin.
Both Babe Murphy and Shield Bearer
were backed down from threes, the form er
closing a slight favorite at to l. Sport
McAllister and Banjo were also accorded
considerable support. AS usual, the
speedy Quicksilver showed the way to the
stretch, where he blew up. Shield Bearer
later took up the running, but was passed
by both Babe Murphy and Sport McAllis-
ter, the former winning in a fierce drive by
a scant head.

BIOYOLIsT AND THE SNAKE

a Story Full of Details That Could Be
Scarcely Called Corroborative.
When story about snake is told it is
always taken with grain of salt, but the
following is told by a man whose veracity
has never been questioned. and that every
word is absolutely true there is no doubt.
A half dozen wheelmen were sitting in
the shade of tree on the Mendham pike,
between Mendham and Morristown, n. j.,
when man was seen approaching push
ing a part of his wheel in front OF him
and carrying the handle bars across his
shoulders. The wheel and rider both
looked dilapidated.
You seem to have had an accident "
said one of the party, addressing the man.
IAN accident" returned the stranger
'I should think l havel" and he dropped
the broken wheel and staggered over
toward the shade. He was pale, and there
was a haunted look about his face that
made the other men think that he had
suffered some bodily injury in the acci-
dent
II hope you have not hurt yourself, !"
said the first speaker.
NO" answered the man, 81 am not
hurt physically, but if you fellows could
have seen what 1 saw q mile back you
wouldn't feel quite clipper, either
What was it2" asked one of the men.
"Tell ms about it.''
1T was awful, !" said the man, and he
looked as though he we're about to faint.
ut was snake-a great, big, poisonous
reptile. 1 saw him on the road and
thought | would run over him for fun.
When my wheel touched him he raised
his head and ran his fangs into the tire.
The tire exploded like the sound of a gun,
and. would you believe it, 1t blew that
snakes head clear off his body. l had q
puncture, but punctures are common with
wheelmen, and was preparing to mend
1T when l saw the links on the chain
break one by one and fall to the ground
Then my handle bars began to change
color and turned jet black. 1 couldn't I'M
agine what it was for time, but when ]
saw the rest OF the wheel begin to turn
black and shrivel up / realized that tbe
snakes poison had gone all through the
| wheel. View York Evening Sun.

JOKE ON JAY GOULD.
His Wicked Partner, Jim Pisk, Checks
Out His Bank Account.

His Wicked Partner, Jim Fisk, Checked
Out His Bank Account.
Fisk liked joke on his partner better
kept balance of some $4,000 in the
Tenth National Bank for his personal &C
count, household expenses, etc. Being
called West on a mission that lasted sew
eral weeks, he left his checkbook locked in
the safe drawer, to which Fisk bad key.
In the office was clever young clerk
whom Fisk had caught in the act of imi-
tating his and Gould's signatures, the
imitation of Gould's being facsimile.
Within an hour after che Wizards de-
parture checkbook and clerk were to-
gether under Fisk's supervision, and at
his instigation more than a dozen blank
checks were signed with the name of Jay
Gould, and in the course of a month the
$4,000 had disappeared, Fisk being at that
time in the clutches of Josie Mansfield
On the very day of Gould's return the
bank sent notice of overdraft. The little
man nearly tainted. He had several fits.
His excitement was intense. He declared
that there was a conspiracy to ruin HIM.
He hastened to the bank and they
showed him the checks, signed by him elf
they did not doubt, and he raved and tore
his hair. Nor could he doubt the sigma
ture. 1t was genuine, even in his own
eyes. A rigid investigation was started,
which Fisk put an end to py informing g
Gould, with many poke in the ribs that
he had drawn and used the money.
did Fisk make it good?" an innocent
asked when the story was told.
Return the $50, ,000?' was the reply.
"If Fisk had returned it Wall street would
have cried. New York Press.

RICH GOLD IN THE DOCTOR
Another Mine at Cripple Creek That is At

He Thus Became a Free CItizen-Be ha
Sent a Copy of the Ordinance to Hi
Company and Will stand by His Instruc
lions Even If He has to be Arrested.
The new telephone ordinance wen
into effect Wednesday morning, and yet
there has been no demand made upon
Superintendent Chipchase for the
amount OF license required to be paid by
the company.
AS is known the new ordinance re-
duces the rate to s. for six months il
cense, and has the effect Of repeating
the old ordinance under which Mana
ger Chipchase was held as cOnstruc-
tive prisoner, and as a consequence his
supposed shackles fell off on Wednesday
morning and he is now free man in
person as well as consructively,
When seen yesterday and asked as to
what would be the stand taken by the
company in the future, whether they
would pay the license or would refuse to
comply and thus force the question in
to court, Mr.. Chipchase said:
81 can give you no information upon
what course will be adopted by the
company until after 1 receive my in
structions. l have sent a copy of the
ordinance to Mr.. McDaniels and will
act wholly under instructions which
shall receive. 1 think the matter will
be settled in a few days and all will be
at peace"
At the city clerks office answers have
been received from several new com
panies who are anxious to establish
plants in this city and 1t is probable at
the next meeting of me council several
new propositions Will be submitted to
that body for its action.
1t is generally conceded that Wichita
patrons are forced to pay a higher rate
for telephone service than any other
city, but still the patrons speak in the
highest terms Of the service rendered by
the Missouri and Kansas telephone sys-
TEN, and If a rate could or would be
given by that company of $24 and $50
per month the telephone war would be
settled amicably. If not Wichita will
have at least two telephone companies
in the city within the next three monhs.
The temper of the people is now up and
they viii not be satisfied with any
thing less than the rate of S24 and $50
per year.
Mr.. Craig, il is said, will have a new
telephone proposition to make to the
council at its next meeting, which it is
said will not only be novel but practi-
cal
In the meantime it must not be for
gotten that the patrons of The old COM
pany are forced o pay the old rate and
a general demand will be made that
some settlement, either a compromise
or the establishment of a new company
with franchise be granted, at an early
date, as they are getting weary of so
much talk and so little action. In the
meantime the Missouri and Kansas !
company are without city |
franchise.
When Mr.. Chipcha.se has received in |
structionS from his company there will |
be an extra meeting Of the council to /
take action and either settle the tele |
phone war or order it pushed through |
the courts and secure a new company. |
