Shot Buffalo and other Big Game In Cor.
bin Park

A fine specimen of a buffalo has at
tracted hundreds of the curious to the
market of A NJ. Richards this week.
Mr. Richards and party of local sports
men went last week to Corbin park and
secured an opportunity to shoot some
large game. They brought back the
largest bull buffalo of the herd, "Patsey,"
as he has always been known. He was
six years old and weighed over 300
pounds. An extra frame had to be erect
ed in front of the store, and as he hung
there with his nose near the sidewalk,
his hind feet were extened four or five
feet above the roof of the piazza. In ad-
dition to this the party brought down an
elk, a deer and two wild boars, all of
which are on exhibition at the market
Mr.. Richards has disposed OF his live
bear cub, and 1t was on Wednesday taken
to South Woodstock to be educated as a
performer. Mr.. Richards has had him
some weeks and he has been very tame
and playful, at times having the liberty
of the market.

Deer Killed by Lynx.

Walter and Louis Hitchcock, sons of
John Hitchcock, heard Sunday afternoon
the cry of some animal in distress upon
the hillside east OF their fathers house
and about mile north of the village.
upon going to the spot they found that
a deer had just been killed by some ami
NAL, probably a lynx, which was stand
ing beside the body. The lynx ran away
when they approached. The deer was a
young buck Weighing about 100 pounds.
George Bowtelle, uncle OF the boys, also
heard the cries of the deer and went to
the spot little later. The lynx had
gone before his arrival, but the bloody
tracks could be seen upon the snow crust
The deer was taken to the house and
Game Warden McQuaid notified. Traps
have been set for the lynx, but as yet
nothing has been caught.

IN considerable speculation today
- " among the friends Of Mrs. AIDE
laide Yerkes-Mizner and the associates
of her late husband, Charles T. y>-kes,
the traction multi millionaire, as to
whether or not the statement Of young
Wilson Miner, now settled in the
Yerkes Fifth avenue residence with his
bride of three days, that Mrs. Miner
would have something important to say
in few days concerning the public be-
quests in the Yerkes will, means that
she intends to contest that instrument.
When Mr.. Miner could be seen this
afternoon, for he did not rise until
2 pm, he said: "We understand that
the will of the late Mr.. Yerkes is to be
filed in Chicago on Feb. lS. do not

that will be a different matter. The
Goulds will let 100000 Of the wife s
100000 year go to paying Of the
count g back debts, leaving the count
