 Find Expression-Conhict Narrowly Avertcd.

The strike against the Montgomery Traction Company came near reaching a dramatic climax last night when q mob composed of several hundred men surrounded Deputy Sheriff Curry and Joseph Peoples, a former employe of the company and threatened to XII Curry if he iid not leave Montgomery.
 Curry, whose name is known all over the country as e strike-breaker, and who became known to fame in that respect through his efforts in breaking the teamsters' strike in Chicago two years ago, said the only way he would leave Montgomery before his work was finished w4 sei,..". l,ii.1r pine box.

 Deputy sherifrs in the employ of the Traction Company, seeing that trouble was likely to occur, formed wedge around Curry and Peoples, who ad- vanced to the side of the small office of the company in front of the foun. tain There the men turned and faced their assailants, and, with hands on their revolvers, annouced that they were ready to meet all corners.

 The crowd nesitated. The explosion of a torpedo or the shout of leader would unpoubtedIN have led to direfu. results. The sheriffs were all armed. end it is reasonable to suppose that there were weapons in the pockets of some of the many man who surrounded the officers.
 Police officers stationed at the Square quickly realized that the condf- tion was critical. and a telephone message was sent to police headquar- ters for more men. Captain Miles Smith, who was on duty at the time dispatched all the available men to the scene at once and himself took com- mand of them.

Sealed Orders.

The custom Of having Warships sal
under sealed orders arose from the de
sire of maritime powers to prevent tho
plans from Becoming known to the
enemy. In the American navy sucl
orders come from the president an
are delivered to a commander Of q sh:}
or squadron by a confidential messen
ger who knows nothing of their con
tents. Sometimes they are in cipher
but they arc always scaled with tht
official seal Of the navy department
and the package cannot be opened un
til the time marked on it. which i
usually severn! hours after the hou
Of leaving port. BY this precautio,
the newspapers are prevented frOn
disclosing prematurcly the movement:
which may be of the greatest impor
lance and the spies of the enemy az,
rendered useless SO far as their abb;
fly to discover the secret of sue
movements IS concerned. Sailing ull

1t is not always the fisherman who
works the hardest that gets the most

ut that conclusion as the result Of some
expericuce which was his last Sunday.
I'p i'll the town of Sidney there IS a
small sheet of water known as Ward
nond. and which has quite Il reputation
as being well stocked with black bass.
Some time last year the young man IN
question is said to have made Il trip
to the pond and caught good string
Of the fish. and during the past week
he 50 worked upon three of his friends
that he got them to agree to the sun
day trip above mentioned. There Is
no boat on the pend and 50 the fisher
men placed one on wheels and hauled
| il the entire distance. From what the
first fisherman had said the others eX-
ucctcd to get a boatload of bass az
! least. for he had told them how on the
first trip the fish were so large ana sc
plenty that they had broken up al
| his gear. but when they had Launched
! their craft on the pond and went tc
| fishing they found that the bass hac
| evidently gone to a convention at some
other part Cf the pond. for the only
bass landed was by the pilot of the
rartv and that was only large cnougf

ton of a few pic<erel no ether fis.
