WILD ANIMAL WAS At LARGE
Searching Party In Eastport Cap
tured The Silver Wolf
of The Carnival
Connpanv.
Company.

Roaming at large in the wiIds of
Eastport and surrounding country,
pursued by gang of men and boys
and several mongTel dogs was a large
silver wolf, q fierce and terrifying ami
NAL. he escaped from his cage on
the carnival grounds back of the house
of the independent Fire Company and,
baking every effort to apprehend him,
got clean away.
While it was thought that he would
eventually be captured, the owners of
the wolf. who conducting the wild
animal show in connection with the
carnival, will shoot the animal rather
than have -him at liberty, where he
might do considerable damage. As
the animal will not stop and snow
fight, as would q lion or tiger unless
cornered, the difficulty of capturing
him is all the greater.
Searching parties which are looking
for the animal will endeavor TO drive
him into the water, as his capture
would then be an easy mater. A wolf
is not accustomed TO water and could
do but little fighting while trying TO
keep above the water. Mr.. John dep.
Douw was asked to try and capture
or kill the animal by means of his fox
hounds, but as it would mean the
death of several of the hounds he de-
clined the invitation.
The wolf was Gagged in q wooden
box which was lined on all sides ex-
cept the bottom with sheet iron. Some
time during the night the wolf set to
work to gnaw his way through the
floor. Early in the morning he had
succeeded in making a hole large
enough to admit his body. He then
dug away the ground beneath the
cage sufficiently to let himself through
and shortly after . O'Clock reached
the outside of the tent. He was dis
covered almost Immediately by men
connected with the carnival, who saw
him Chamber over the rear fence of
Green street residence.
Passing out of the yard and down
the street he reached the Eastport
bridge Across this he moved with
the speed of a coyote with some of the
men in pursuit. He rapidly distanced
them. but they kept him in sight until
he was lost in the woods back of Mr..
w. II. Burns residence. The searchers
came back to the city and provided
themselves with ropes. after which
they again started out on the hunt.
1t is their intention to keep him from
moving around the head of the creeks
and eventually drive him into the
water of the bay or Spa creek. If this
is done it is thought his capture will
easily be accomplished.
1t is not thought that the animal
will do any serious damage unless he
becomes starved. when he might kill
sheep or calves or even attack a man
if he thinks there is no chance of es-
cape. The owners of the wolf will
shoot the animal if they find it inn
possible to capture him.
The wolf was captured by four col
ored fishermen about noon today. 1t
was found at Ohink Point, between
Back creek and Bay Ridge. 1t was
lassooed and brought to Annapolis.
The cage was carried over to Eastport
and the wolf placed therein and
drawn to town in one of the firemen's
wagons. A monkey is also said to
have escaped from the carnival
grounds this morning, but was cap
tured on Main street.

History Apt to Repeat ItseIf

John Paul Jones, when living, kept
not only his country's foes in hot
water, but his relations with the SER
vice which he illustrated with heroic
deeds were somewhat strained.
John Paul Jones, though dead. still
seems capable of being the subject of
trouble. Now Ambassador Porter, at
Paris, the Navy and State Depart
ments seem to have q triangular
bother on hand Porter wishes the re-
mains to be embarked on the Fourth
of July. The Navy Department OBJ
jects to the sailors being disturb bed
in their annual celebrations, as would
be the case should the nations chief
holiday be the date and the State
Department wishes to acceed to the
Ambassador wishes. Possibly the
Pres ident will decide the matter.
Meantime Rear Admiral Sigsbee will
sail ON his mission on June s.

A Little King Arrives

A little King, crowned with all the
glory and affection of q mothers love
and fathers pride, arrived at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. HARRY King. on
Holland street, early this morning.
AS paradoxical as it may seem this
King happens TO be of the feminine
gender. Although Mr.. King, the
father, had hoped there might be q
good Wells Democrat in the family,
the new arrival being a daughter, will
be denied the right Of franchise.
