REPORTER WAS MIsINFoRMEp.
Frank CeIIon Killed Three Deer on the
Trip to Lafayette County.

From Fridays Daily Sun;
The Sun contained a report several
days ago to the effect that the La.
fayette county hunting party had
killed twelve deer, nine OF which had
been creditably accounted for, the
other three doubtful.
+. f. Cellon of Hague, who was a
member of the party, writes The Sun
that there was no reason for this err.
ror, as there was only one way out
of it. He requests that the correct
solution be given, which was as fol,
lows: w, A. Strickland, three; j. d.
Stringfellow, three; NJ NJ Crews,
three, and F. f. Cellon three, making
the twelve deer.
The Sun does not believe that its
informant intended To misrcprcsent
matters, as the reporter feels sure
that the party who gave the infOrma.
ton is a fair-minded person, and mere
~ mentioned the fact Of the success
OF those who most impressed him
He reported in plain words that three
each were killed by Mcssrs. Strick.
land, Crews and StrinEfcllow, and
that he could not remember who !
killed the other three which he
thought were scattered
If Mr.. CelTon killed three deer. We
feel sure that the informant would |
have been glad to have said so, had !
he remembered H. It was merely a |
question on his memory and no in
tention to do Mr.. Cellou or any other
person an injustice

later running a popcorn rooster at
4 ,he corner of East Union and East
Main streets has suddenly disappear
cd and his friends appear anxious
about him.
Mr.. Fish did not disappear for any
dishonest reason, for no man has yet
heen found who could say that Mr..
Fish owed him a penny. 1t appears
merely question of dependency and
de)irium from recent illness which
caused him to leave as he did, as he
was apparently doing we'll in his
profession as a popcorn man, selling
all the corn that he could handle
alone. In fact, it is known that he
has sold from $12 to So worth of
popcorn on certain days, and his aver.
age sales would run from 81 to &c.
which meant that he was making a
good living, as the profit will run at
least 1875 per cent.
But Mr.. Fish took a sudden notion
to leave, and he left note addressed
10 the county and city officials, in
which he stated that he desired all his
effects turned over to William Goore,
who had always befriended him, and
10 whom he desired his effects should
be surrendered.
Mr., Fish made a most mysterious
disappearance, but i is said that a
telephone message was received from
Eyinston Thursday stating that a man
had been apprehended there who was
in semi.conscious state, but stated
that he was formerly manager of the
pool room in Gainesville. His desCrip.

man. The telephone message did not

King Haakon of Norway has been
telling an amusing story about him.
self illustrative of the democratic way
they have of regarding royalty In his
kingdom.
Not very long ago his majesty at
tended the National theater at Chris
tiania. the play for that evening being
from the pen Of the famous dramatis'
Biornson. SO delighted was the king
with his evenings entertainment that
when the curtain fell he summoned
the venerable author to his box.
"a very beautiful play. my dear
Biornson," said the king.
The old man stepped up to King
Haakon and patted him kindly on the
head.
do not say 'majet very. your MAJ

For a moment King Haakon did no
know whether or not he should resen

mispronounce the word in future.
That's rightr' said Bjornson. "Yo

Kino Edwards Private Car.

A London paper tells of the royal
train built for King Edward by the
London and Northwestern Railway
company. While some continental SOW
ereigns have had railway coaches built
for them at the expense of the state
or Of their own prlvy purse, the royal
trains provided by the London and
Northwestern and two or three of the
other English companies have been
constructed at the companies own ex-
pense. They then remain the rail-
ways property, the members OF the
royal family paying their fares like
ordinary passengers, with merely the
usual charge for a special train. The
most elaborate precautions are taken
to insure the safety of the kings
train. a pilot engine running ffteen
minutes in advance throughout the en-
tire Journey. The train itself contains
q saloon designed for his majesty WllI
q smoking room, day saloon, a bed
room and dressing room, all equipped
with handsome furniture.

Admiral Evans while travelling on
steamer between Fort Monroe and the
exposition grounds was accosted by a
lady passenger with the query, Are
Won going ashore here?' When the

Petty officers of the navy are ire
ouently asked to stop a trolley car 10

Oshkosh or some other way station
The story is also told Of a midsnpman
in Washington who was asked by an
old lady to carry her baggage and OF
fered him 10 cents as tip. These mis-
fakes are due to the fact that naVa
uniforms are so closely copied in the
dress Of municipal, railroad and othel
