While Riding Vicious Ram "a Mary
lander Meets His Death.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, June 3.-Iuke
Mallon. a young man residing along the
South Branch of the Potomac, met his
death Saturday in strange manner.
Mailon, with others, was trying to con-
quer vicious ram that was grazing on
a mountain field.
Mallon, in spirit Of bravado. offered
TO lay wager that he could ride the ami
nal, and his offer was accepted His
companions had no sooner assisted him to
mount the Sleeps back than the animal
bounded off down a steep mountain side
at a friEhtful rate. and when near its
base collided with q tree with such force
that it was knocked senSeIess, while the
daring rider was SO badly injured that he
died a few hours later
Those who saw the wild ride state
that it was one of the most frightfuI
scenes ever witnessed. The ram is an ex-
ira large one, and had been running in
the mountains so long that it was a 5 say
age as wild animal MaIIon was the son
of 4 weII-lInOWn farmer, and was about
sixteen years Of age
