DEER CAUGHT IN FENCE
Valley Road Train Stopped and Passen-
gers Released Him.

AS Conductor Frank Beckwith's
train on the Valley road was nearing
Arnold station Friday morning deer
was noticed running alongside the
track. The engine was slowed down
SO as to let the passengers see the deer,
The deer took to the track and started
to run right in front of the engine.
After running few rods on the track
the deer, a buck, jumped off on the left
side down an embankment and became
caught by both horns and one foot in
the wire fence that separates the rail
road property from the pasture land
along the track. Conductor Beckwith
stopped the train and with the assist
ance of several passengers managed to
break enough of the wire netting to re-
lease the deer. When the deer was re-
leased he started off UP into the woods.
Conductor Beckwith says the antlers
Of the deer were about a foot long,
which would show that he was about
z years old. and that he weighed be-
tween 100 and 80 pounds.

both sides blame Americans.

I. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 3.-Tho
British seamer Trent has arrived here
from Colon, Colombia. She brings re-
ports that the Colombian rebels are
still seen in the vicinity of the 18TH
mus and that they occasionally appear
in the towns along the railroad line.
Considerable Indignation is felt by the
Colombians because American guards
are still maintained on the line. Off,
Gals of the Colombian government
claim that what they term the interfer-
ence Of the Americans prevents them
from dealing effectively with the reb.
els who occupy certain towns, where
they collect taxes and make seizures OF
property. The revolutionists, in their
turn, claim that the presence of the
Americans prevents them from bring
ing about final coup ia the revolution.
There is much suffering on the isthmus,
and the position OF civilians there u be-
coming intolerable.

WRESTLING AT KERNAN'S.
Grant, for the Second Time, Stayed the
Limit With Luttburg.

All travelling professional wrestlers look
alike to Joe Grant, the local boy. who has
earned and holds the championship of the
South in his class.
Last night he went on for the second
time this week with Max Luttburg at Ker-
mans LyceuDl. and as in the first meet
ing, he stayed the full limit and won the
money offered by the visiting athlete. In
last nights contest Grant did little ag-
sressive work, but he could not move
Luttburg OFF his stomach although he got
crotch and an arm hold. Then after
four minutes OF effort in this direction
Luttburg took the aggressive, and that is
where he made mistake. for he tried in
every way to get a telling hold on Grant
but the best he could do was to secure q
crotch hold, from which he made Il
bridge, out of which the local boy spun
c.everly out of danger With four min
utes TO go, and the packed house of loyal
local rooters wild with excitement over
the splendid exhibition, the visitor be-
came desperate, but it availed him moth
ing, as. try however he might, he could
not get hold that would bulge Grant of
his stomach with all fours spread out. and
at the limit OF time he acknowledged de-
feat and was beaten at his own and best
game. He then addressed the audience,
saying that Grant was one OF the best men
he had ever met

Team Total-List of Prize Winners.

The District Bowling League schedule
ended last Monday evening and the Car
roll Institute team is the undisputed win
ner of the championship by a very gen.
erous margin. having won forty-three
games and lost only seventeen, as against
the Saengerbund's tally Of thirty-six
games won and twenty-four lost, closing
/ in second place.
The season has been most successful in
every way. The bowling has been Of q
very high order, comparing very favorably
with the record Of many so-called crack
scores in the West and North. The league
has conducted its affairs in a businesslike
manner and the relations between teams
have always been of the most harmonious
and pleasant nature. While the rivalry
has been intense and strong it has at no
time been otherwise than of the most
friendly nature. The games have always
had large attendance of witnesses. and the
roofing has been loyal and spirited,
though at times unnecessarily loud and
exasperatingly disconcerting to players
slightly deficient in confidence
CAROLS Take the Lead.
The championship of the league was
naturally the prime incentive to the best
efforts of all teams. and to that end every
energy was bent. With the championship
goes handsome silver cup donated by the
South Washington Business Mems Club,
and becomes the permanent property OF
the club winning it three times.
The Sagerbund won it in the season of
1897 -9S. the next season theICarreIls land

won it again. Last year, ls00-Ql, the Y.

the two veteran teams pfl 2
If the Saengerbund had again won the
championship the big silver cup would
have been its permanent property, and
for the first two months df the season.
which began November II fast,'it looked
as if the clever German Bowers would
again have chance TO flkup and drink
to the health of the bowlers.,, AT this
stage the CAROLS began getting together
in great shape and gradually forged to the
front, and have stayed there ever since.
and the team deserves a lot of credit
for its excellent work. 1t is an aggrega-
tion of bowlers whose team and individu-
al work is of the sort that makes 1t pos
sible to hold its own against all comers
from wherever they may come.
Fat Men Take a Brace.
About January 20 the Jolly Fat Mems
Club took such a brace that for time
but three games separated it from the

pushing the Saengerbund in decidedly hot
