cATAMouNT AT SCHOOL.
Fifty Pupils Held in School Room for
Nine Hours.


Not long ago catamount. full
grown and vicious. remained in the
boughs Of a maple tree near the door of
a school house In Pennsylvania, while
fifty children were held at bay in their
schoolroom for nine hours
The school was holding its first ses-
sion in several months. the thaw hav-
ing opened the mountain roads. The
last lad who arrived discovered when
a short distance from the door that
he was being trailed by catamount.
He rushed into the building, bolted the
door and told his news.
Benjamin Mccarthy, the teacher
smiled. but when he looked out of the
window and saw the beast crouched in
the boughs OF the tree. his amusement
turned to alarm. The program ar
ranged for the opening was followed.
and by II o'clock had been carried out,
but the catamount was still awaiting
its prey. Shouts for help from eau
tiously opened windows merely served
to enrage the beast
Noon passed and the catamount still
held its strategic position. When the
sun began dropping in the West the
pupils fell into a panic.
Finally their cries reached Andrew
Russell. n teamster. and with a re-
vOlver he ran to the building and saw
the beast His first shot wounded II
as 1t leaped from the tree. second
shot reached n vital spot as the animal
tore the coat from Russell's back.
Russell escaped injury. but had TO be
almost entirely supplied with clothing

The Prosperous South.

A competent authority has recently
estimated that 5000. 100000 has been
added to the wealth Of the South In the
last two years, and these figures are
doubtless within the mark. The growth
of It's Iron and steel Industry in the
period named would alone represent a
value approximating the figures given.
This year the value of pig iron pro-
duced in the region OF Birmingham is
conservatively put at $500. 100000.

-
Jockey Redfern and His Father
Disobey the Judges at
Ascot Park.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March AT
Ascot today Jockey Arthur Redfern
was ruled off the turf, together with
his father w. F. Redfern, for dis
obedience of the orders of the judges.
Presiding Judge A. w. Hamilton in
structed Redfern to ride Laureate in
the last race Of the day and asked If
he had any objections to the horse. The
jockey replied that he had not, but
would see his father, who looks after
his interests. A few moments after
wards Redfern Sr. sent word that
Arthur would not ride Laureate Judge
Hamilton issued formal order to the
clerk Of scales instructing him to put
Redfern on Laureate. Redfern Sr. came
to the judges stand and stated that
his boy would not ride. the horse.
Judge Hamilton Immediately called
UP w. F. Redfarn's badge and put him
off the track. An official ruling was
then made barring the two Redferns
from the turf. Redfern's refusal to
ride Laureate is said to have been the
result Of a disagreement some time
ago with the mares owner, j. Peter.

WILL MEET TONIGHT
Indoor Meet of A. A. U. Will Be
Held at Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March ALI
the arrangements for holding the
indoor championship meet of the Gen.
trail Association A. A. u. at the ex-
position building tomorrow night have
been completed and the entries of the
best athletes in the West insure sue
cess to the big meet. The new run
ming track measures twelve and one
half laps to the mile and will be used
for all the running events excepting
the short dashes.
In the absence Of the Chicago uni
versity and First Regiment Athletic
association contingents, the battle for
supremacy will be between the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and the Milwau-
kee Athletic club. The Wisconsin uni
versity, with it's twenty-five entrants,
is generally conceded first place, with
the Milwaukee Athletic club close
second. The third place will probably
go to the Central Y. M. G. A., Chicago
team.
Archie Hahn, Of Michigan, wearing
the Milwaukee A. c.. colors, is picked
to win in the 75-yard dash open cham
pionship. In the 440-yard run the
points will probably be divided be-
tween Wisconsin university and Cen
trail Y. M. G.. A, as the Milwaukee A.
G.. is not entered.
The 8S0-yard run will be exciting,
with Hall and Haroldson for the Mil
waukee A c.; Breitkreutz, of Wiscon-
sin, and Clapper, of the Central Y. M.
c. A, in the running. The other events
seem to be evenly balanced and in the
high and low hurdles and relay races
will be seen some Of the keenest racing
of the night.
