WILDCATS RAIDING FARMS
Shows and Frosts Driving Starving
Animals to Invasion of Henhouses

Shows and Frosts Driving Starving
Animals to Invasion of Henhouses
Special to The Herald.
RENOVO, Pa, Feb. 6.-Having had
an opportunity to multiply in the last
few years, owing to a lack of forest
fires, and being driven from their re-
mote haunts by the recent SHOWS and
frosts, wildcats have literally invaded
the settled portions of Clinton county,
and besides preying on quail and pheas-
ants, which have sought shelter in
piles of hay and fodder on the farms,
are actually raiding hen houses.
Farm dogs are having frequent bat
ties with the beasts, and near McElhat-
tan farmer caught two of the cats
i'm a trap last week. The snow is full
of wildcat tracks, and evidence of the
slaughter the animals are inflicting
on small game is abundant.
A hunter recently tracked wildcat
eight miles, and in that distance found
the carcasses of two rabbits and the
feathers of two quails and one pheas-
ant, all killed in one night.

Benefit GAME PLANNED
FOR jim MCDONALD
Local Ball Men to Play at Chutes
Park-Proceeds Go to Pop
ular Umnire

Local ballplayers have planned to
emulate their San Francisco brethren
and play benefit game of ball for Jim
Mcdonald, the popular indicator hold
er who is now lying probably fatally
i'll in a San Francisco hospital. At
the suggestion of Manager Morley the
men who are wintering in Los Angeles
on Washington's birthday or the fol-
lowing Sunday and give the natives
an exhibition of the national game.
All of the proceeds will go toward
making the last days of Jim Mcdonald
all that can be desired in the way of
comfort and attendance.
While one of the old guard of the
diamond Jim Mcdonald is better
known as an umpire than as a player.
1t can be said without exaggeration
that there are few men who thumb
the indicator in the United States more
universally admired for many fine
qualities and sterling honesty than
Jim Mcdonald. Mcdonald was q big
league official in days gone by and his
fine work on eastern diamonds is well
remembered by many gray-haired
fans. Jim has been ailing for a year
or more and since his enforced retire
ment along toward the latter part of
last season he has been unable to take
care of himself. 1t is hoped that the
receipts of both the San Francisco and
Los Angeles games will net an amount
sufficient for McDonalds present
needs. There is little possibility of him
recovering from his sickness, his vital
ity being unable to withstand the con-
tinued ravages of disease.
The lineup at the benefit game will
he aboIt as follows,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-17

his legitimate expense account for
playing in the all-coach football game
New Years, Holmes believing that the
men who played in that game are pro-
fessionals by applying n strict inter-
probation of the rules to the cases of
the students who helped the football
tutors in their effort to lift the scalp
locks Of the Indian braves.
This stand of u. S. G. will assuredly
cause something of a sensation in ANA
teur athletics in Southern California.
Acker and De Lappe would both be
barred from playing football next sea-
son If the other colleges would take
this stand. There are many rumors
that both of these men. however, con-
template going to Occidental next sea-
son and some have concluded that u.
S. C. would up and disqualify them If
they carried out such a plan. This Is
mere speculation, but the fact that
Prof. Holmes believes that the students
who played in the New Years game
are open to charges of professionalism
Is extremely significant.
Has No Contract
If Occidental insists it is probable
that u. S. c.. will not enter Dunn in
the dual field meet, although it is
difficult to see how any valid objection
can be entered against him if he has
not received anything from the high
school athletic management for his
services. Manager Sholes of the high
school says that his school has no
written contract with Dunn and that
they have not paid him a cent.
An Occidental man, however, high in
the athletic councils of that institu-
ton, is authority for the statement
that affidavits can be procured over the
signature of several prep school men
to the contrary. 1t certainly appears
to be a threatening situation and one
which would apparently be benefited by
the fine Italian hand of a born diplo-
mat to prevent repetition of the odor-
Gus souabble that caused dissension
two years ago.
Dunn is positive that nothing can
he trumped UP to threaten his amateur
standing. U. S. c. seems to have taken
the right ground and the athletic man
agement has no desire to enter Dunn
in the events if the Occidental charges
are sustained.

HYPNOTIST SEWED THEM UP
Stitched Subjects and Got to Jail Just
Ahead of Tar and Feathers

Specal to The Herald.
nicola, Iowa., Feb. l6.-'Professor
George Curran is in jail in default OF
$500 bail, charged with mayhem. He
appears to be an amateur hypnotist
with plenty of magnetism but poor
control. In an entertainment here he
placed one subject in trance and
then with big needles and stout CORDS
sewed his wrists together through the
feshy parts.
The performance was failure. The
subject emerged from the influence
and there was a painful spectacle
Another subject through whose legs
long needles were thrust bled freely
Women tainted or rushed from the
house, and a crowd of men would have
tarred and feathered the professor
had not the authorities interfered and
carried him off to jail.

Smithy Kane was the touted good
thing in the second and he was heavily

hattered his hackers until fifty feet
from the wire where he stopped to
nothing and was beaten a head by M.
A. Powell. Bonner on the latter put
up a swell ride which won for him.

FINAL ARGUMENT
HEARD IN THE ENITTS' CASE
THIS MORNING.
Reported Judge Reed viii Decide
Against the Board of
Aldermen.

Circuit Judge William Reed this
morning heard the conclusion of the
argument in the motion made by a.
torneys for the defense to the juris-
try City Jailer Tom Evitts.
Attorney w. +. Bradshaw. Sr. for
the prosecution made the concluding
speech and this afternoon Judge Reed
is writing his opinion, which he stat
ed would not be given out before fui-
ly written. meeting of the attor-
neys had been held with him, and
the opinion filed with the clerk.
Judge Reed positively refused TO
give out any hint as to which way tn.
case will be decided, stating that the
press could get it all when the opin-
ion was filed.
The contention of Jailer Evitts' at
torneys is that no matter what city
official does he cannot be put out of
Office as long as be discharges the du.
ties of the office. 1t is very import
ant question and will probably be
taken to the court of appeals which.
ever way it is decided. Even If the
court decides the board of aldermen
may try the case and Gust the jailer,
1t is understood that his attorneys
t.l- 4. l.
and keep it there probably two years
and he could continue to hold Office
pending the appeal, and by the time
the case finished the rounds of the
courts the jailer's term would have
expired

dermen.

IL is Now Denied That the
Frisco Will Buy lt.
Standard OIL Interests Reported 10
Have Acquired IL and VIII
Make Extensions.
NOTHING DEFINITE YET KNOWN

Railroad news seems to be as un-
certain as the weather. A short time
ago 1t was announced that the Frisco
had bought the Tennessee Central
and would extend 1t from Hopkins
Vile to Paducah, and then build a
line from Joppa. H., to Paducah.
Now comes the report that Mr.. II.
Clay Pierce the well-known Standard
OIL magnate, has acquired the entire
interests of Mr.. j. c. Van Blarcom in
the Tennessee Central railroad. the
latter, according to this report, retir-
ing from all further connection with
the road. The report also states that
Mr.. Pierce will be backed by ample
means for the improvement and ex-
tensions of the railroad, and that the
property will be developed along the
lines which were outlined by Senator
Bailey on the occasion of his recent
visit to Nashville, says the Nashville
Banner
Ii will be remembered that When
Senator Bai'ey recently visited Nash
Vile he stated in an interview that Re
was investigating the Tennessee Cen
trail railroad property as the repre-
sentative of capitalists who we're am
ply able to push plans for the devel-
opment of the railroad and tributary
territory should they deem it wise to
acquire the railroad He stated
further that should his clients se-
cure control of the road they would
at once build extensions on the north
and east and such branch lines as
would enable them to develop the
coal lands and other portions of this
section of the south. The repoT,
which reaches the Banner is to the
effect that the people who were rep
resented by Senator Bailey are nov
in control of the Tennessee Central
railroad, or will be at an early date,
and are prepared to carry out their
plans as above.
IL is also stated in the same CON
nection that the new owners of the
Tennessee Central will have active
traffic arrangements with the Illinois
Central and the Southern railroads,
which will give them through connec-
tions for both passenger and freight
service both east and west, as well
as to the north
The report that the Tennessee
Central is to become part of the
Frisco system IS denied in the report
the deal outlined above,
ii being said that the new interests
will conduct the system as an indie
pendent road, but with friendly re-
iations with connecting lines, thus
new and extensive
trunk line through this territory.
