OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5.-W. J. Downey,

the bride in Mysteries and the bride

forward and unlocked the handcuffs.

Golden Gate Paddock
Is the Scene OF
Tragedy.
Horned JGffrieS Kills a
Weaker Antagonist
With Ease.
Savage Battle Of Bucks Is Seen by
Spectators Who Went to Witness
Moving Of Animals.

There was a duel to death between
two savage buck deer in Golden Gate
Park paddock yesterday afternoon-a
rare sight for the few spectators pres
ent. just such a battle as the Iroquois
and Algonquins delighted in witnessing
as a common sport when the Jesuit
fathers first penetrated the untrodden
wilds of North America
The vicious instinct that develops
itself when savage males meet in jun
gle or mountain fastness made Golden
Gate Park it's theater yesterday, and,
though keepers and OnlOokers tried to
prevent fatal termination OF the en-
counter, the result was as swift and
merciless as that Of any contest be-
tween savage hOOfs and horns that
ever stained the foliage or broke the
silence Of a virgin forest.
In moving the deer from one pad
dock to another two males were care
lessly allowed TO meet They were OF
unequal size and strength and in the
inevitable fight that followed the weak
er animal was so gOred and injured
that keeper mercifully cut the
wounded creatures throat to end its
miseries.
Jack. one of the older bucks. had been
confined for two days in an inclosure
and adjoining him was a smaller deer.
A narrow passageway connected the
two and through this the animals were
to be driven separatslv into a wooden
cage The powerful Jack was let into
the others corral and as soon as he
beheld the smaller buck his rage famed
high and the instinct Of murder seized
him like a fever of the blood.
The OveTmatched buck seemed to
realize that his hour had come. and he
was overcome with panic of fear. He
looked for a moment upon the monster
horned Jeffries that confronted him.
then raced madly about the inclOsure
throwing himself violently against the
wire screen.
Slowly his antagonist closed in upon
the outclassed quarry, a mountain Of
muscle and horns cornering the smaller
creature closer and closer as the mo-
ments sped.
AS his herculean antagonist pressed
almost within hOrning distance the
doomed young buck sprang high in the
air and tried to escape, but he was
caught full on his enemy's sharp horns
and pressed tightly against the wall,
blood gushing from his wounds as he
beloved in pain.
For a few minutes the younger buck
fought spasmodically,- desperately; but
again and again his old Samson Of an
antagonist pierced and gored him with
out mercy. Even when down and
bleeding, however, the young buck
gamely resisted the vicious onslaughts
of his conqueror, but ii was like fight
ing a locomotive.
StubbornIy and with diabolical feroc-
ity old Jack gored his dying adversary.
and it was with difficulty that he could
be Gagged, even when his enemy lay
dead.
1t is several weeks before the bucks
are due to run, but close confinement
probably intensified old Jacks rage
Had ordinary precautions been used
the loss Of one of the parks great at
fractions would have been prevented A
valuable elk was killed laS year in
a similar way.

MCKee'S Name COu-
pled With That OF
Rich Widow.
Said to Have Broken With
Mrs. PhippS, Recently
Divorced.
Actions Of Colorado Beauty Give
Rise to Gossip, but She
Denies Engagement.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Added force
was given to-day to the denial of Mrs.
Genevieve C. Phipps. the former wife
of Lawrence C. Phipps, the Pittsburg
millionaire, that she was about to
marry A. Hart Mckee when Mckee
sailed on the Baltic for Liverpool in
company with Mrs. Hugh Tevis and
her small son. Coupling the departure
of Mckee and the attractive young
widow for Europe with the fact that
Mrs. Phipps left this city hurriedly
only a short time before the Baltic
sailed, friends of both gave full Gre
dence tonight TO a we'll authenticated
rumor that whatever relations exist
ed between Mrs. Phipps and Mckee
are now at an end.
More interest attached to the de-
parture of Mckee when it was learned
that as he was about to leave his
home to drive with his father to the
pier he was detained by two detec-
tives, who threatened to serve a re-
straining order to prevent him from
taking his trunks on board the steam
ship unless he paid their bill for ser
vices rendered in the divorce proceed
against mis- wife. The bill was paid
and Mckee got receipt in full.
Tire Baltic sailed at 2 o'clock. 1t
was just an hour before her lines were
cast off that a carriage drove up to
the pier and from it stepped Mrs.
Tevis, followed by a maid, Master
Hugh Tevis and his nurse and govern
ess. The beautiful young widow ap-
peared radiant if somewhat excited
and watched expectantly for Mckee.
Before his arrival she replied to a
question about her engagement to
Mckee with a blush and said, How
absurd"
Stepping up to the elder Mckee,
Mrs. Tevis put her hands on his shoul-
der and gave him an audible kiss on
the lips and then. taking his hand
said: "Goodby. papa; don't worry
about Hart. I'll take good care of
him"

Appeal Made by the
Peace Congress
in Boston.
Russia, Japan and Neutral
Powers to Be Addressed
on the Subject.
Discussion of Oriental Complication
Gives Rise to Debate Between Two
Delegates From Britain.

BOSTON. Oct 5.-Resolutions in
tended to bring about an end to the
Russo Japanese war were adopted to-
day at the meeting Of the International
Peace Congress. BY the terms of the
resolutions the congress will address
an appeal to the Ernperors of Russia
and Japan to terminate the struggle,
and each of the powers signatory to
The Hague convention will be formally
requested to press upon Russia and
Japan the Importance of putting an end
to the present war.
1t was also voted that the resolu-
tions referring to friendly Intervention
by the powers be presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by a committee of the
congress. The resolutions were passed
after a lengthy discussion. in which
many of the most prominent foreign
delegates participated.
Delegate William r. Cremer of Eng
land took occasion. while favoring the
declarations, to characterize the treaty
between England and Japan as a blum
der and to charge that this treaty
doubtless had much to do with bring
ing on the Russo-Japanese war. There
upon Great Britain's policy of being
a party to the treaty was vigorously
defended by Colonel fSrycas Jones, M. p.
The deliberative proceedings of the
day took on an added interest from
the fact that a leading Hindoo, Baba
Bharati, was introduced to speak as
the representative of his country. The
most intense applause that has been
evoked thus far during the convention
greeted the Hindoo, who dressed in
the costume of his people. delivered a
passionate speech in excellent English.
denouncing on the one hand the at
tempt Of Christianity to thrust Chris
tianity upon India as it's religion, and
the policy of the English people of In
dia in invading Tibet.
1t was voted during the session to
refer the subject of a reconciliation of
France and Germany on the Alsace-
Lorraine question to the Berne bureau
for study by a special committee.
Part of the phraseology of the cable
gram prepared to be sent to Andrew
Carnegie was objected to by a delegate
from New York and it was finally re-
written. so that Carnegie was hailed as
an earnest worker in the worlds bet
ter political order instead of a worker
for the worlds Just and rational or
ganization.
Three public meetings under the aus
pices of the congress were held to-
night One was for Workingmen in
Faneuil Hall, where the principal
speaker was Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor. At Park-street church a meeting
was held by the women delegates to the
congress. The duties of women in the
peace cause ~ere considered by several
speakers. chief among whom was Bar
oness Won Suttner of Austria The du-
ties of business men in the peace move
ment were set forth at another meeting
in fremont Temple in addresses by
prominent merchants.
