AUTO DEFEATS
DEER IN RACE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WILLOWS, Sept. 26.-Yesterday two
young men from Willows. Lorenzo
Brown and Benjamin Hite, were rid
ing in an automobile along the river
road near JacintO, the country seat of
the Glenn family. They were greatly
amazed to see, just ahead of them, a
deer leap over a barbed wire fence and
emerge into the county road.
The deer increased its speed and was
soon in serious predicament, for it
came to a place where turning aside
was well nigh impossible, for on the
left was a canal filled with water by
the recent rains and on the right was
a tall barbed wire fence which extend
ed for miles along the Glenn Rancho.
The deer began a race for life and the
automobiles accepted the challenge
by turning on the juice. In the first
part Of the race the deer showed I'D
to good advantage, but the pace soon
began to weary 1t. For miles the ami
NAL ran, but it's strength could not
last, and 1t fell to the side of the road
just as the machine was closing the
gap.
The tourists rushed to Jacinto, as
they had no weapon with them, and
told the inhabitants. Hunters were
soon on the road and they found the
animal near where it had fallen. A
shot brought the deer to the ground.

layed somewhat by rains in Florida.

localities in central and eastern dis
tricrs. Reports indicate tnar a very

Georgia-Bulk Of crop gathered and mar
keted in central and southern sections

Mississippf-Open cotton injured in east BY
heavy rains and boil weevils are causing
damage In Southwest Louisiana worms and
caterpillars damage Boil weevtl locally nu-
merous in one section and spreading in an
other. Crop deteriorated.
Arkansas-Very little shedding but crop
made only slight improvement
Texas-Ldttle injury to staple by showers
and the crop too far advanced for further
damage by weevil.

Sir Knight VIM. H Namely Of 1904

curing the Conclave last week and told
Of his wonderful escape from death. He
handed his card and opened up the con-
NerSauon by saying, do l look like a
man who was dying with Brights Dis

lie stated that he had had both Brigbt's
disease ana diabetes for nine years. and
year ago was so low he could not
speak for half hour at time and at
tunes had TO be put in ice packs DR.
leading physician of Phfladel-
phla, at the head Of one of the largest
institutions, sent word TO him that he
hao hao several cases recover under a
medicine made In San Francisco called
Fulton's Compound, and he believed n
would cure him. He sent for II. and the
third night thereafter got the first good
sleep IN many months. and Improvement
was then gradual and continuous until
he is now the picture Of health
he stated that Richard Filbert. an
other business man of PHILADELPHIA had
recovered from Bright's disease and was
so interested that he had probably given
over hundred bottles Of Fulton's Com
pound TO friends TO get them Started
and that he had given away over two
dozen himself; also that he had induced
a doctor whose wife had diabetes to nre-
scribe il for her. and that the doctor
now admitted that "a miracle was being
performed, for his wife was recovering

later he called on Mr.. Namely TO tell
him that the patient was so improved

him II II kept up year he would give
him 5000.
Mr. Namely also mentioned two resi-
dents Of Kensington, a suburb Of Phila-

NOTHING REMAINS OF VAST
FORTUNE OF b. L. LANGFORD
Pioneer of San Joaquin, Though Re-
puted to Be Wealthy, Dies
Poor Man.

STOCKTON, Sept. 27.-It appears
that the late Senator Benjamin F..
Langford died comparatively a poor
man. At one time he was supposed
to be one of the wealthiest men of
this section. He was engaged in near
" every great industry of the county
UP to a few years ago. He was the
pioneer fruit grower of the county,
the great Langford orchard colony
being of his foundation. As one, of
the original company manufacturing
a combined harvester, as a banker
and in many other ways he was sup
posed to have made fortunes.
Although it was known that his
holdings were considerably reduced,
the statement made to-day that he
died a poor man was received with
surprise. It is stated that he did not
leave even life insurance.
The remains of ex-senator Lang
ford were taken to Oakland this
morning for cremation. A delegation
from Woodbridge Lodge of Masons
accompanied the body.
