REWARD HID IN BARN
JUMPED THROUGH WINDOW
WHEN PRESSED BY DOGS,
Fox Hunters Near Garrett Park Had
Unique Experience-Will
Run Again.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, Marc]

ROCKVILLE Nd, March 3, 1910.
Twenty fine hounds. seven or eight OF
which belonged to the Chevy Chase Club
and the others to well known fox hunt
ers Of this vicinity, made it SO hot for a
big red fox near Garrett Park yesterday
that he sought refuge in the COW barn
on the farm Of Ford & Graham and
tried to hide himself in an obscure cor
ner OF the big structure.
It happened, however, that several
dairymen employed on the place were In
the building when he jumped through an
open window In an effort to elude his
pursuers, and they at once proceeded to
capture the sly one. finally forcing him
into bag. AS the huntsmen rode up
to the barn to learn what had caused
such sudden termination Of the chase
they were very much surprised to be told
that the bag which was handed one OF
them contained the animal they had been
chasing.
1t developed that it was the first time
within the experience of the sportsmen,
and several of them were veterans that
a fox had thus sought protection The
fox was brought to Rockville and last
evening huntsmen from all parts of the
county and number of Washington low
ers OF the sport were notified of the cap
ture and that chase would be held near
The conditions for a chase yesterday
were considered ideal, 1T being damp
and all frost out of the ground, and
the huntsnien, who included Charles A.
Clagett, Michael Cummings, James At
wood, Clay B. Edwards, Edward Um-
stead. Douglass Edwards and several
others. assembled at Garrett Park at
an early hour. The Chevy Chase dogs
were in charge of Mr.. Umstead, having
been loaned for the occasion by the mas
ter of hounds. Almost Immediately upon
reaching the hunting grounds nearby a
hot scent was struck and from then until
the incident at the barn it was a sure
enough chase. For more than four hours
Reynard was kept on the move, the dogs
we'll packed and in full cry the entire
time. Several times the fox and dogs
were in full view of the sportsmen and
more than once it looked as IL the fox
would surely be captured, but when
danger threatened him most he used
tactics for which he is famous and sue
ceeded in delaying the inevitable. As
the fox approached the barn the dogs
were close on his heels and had he not
disappeared through the window he
would undoubtedly have been captured
before he had traversed many more
yards.
1t was declared by those who par
ticpated in the sport that 1t was the
finest chase they had ever enjoyed. The
fox proved a fine runner. He was a
splendid specimen and apparently about
four years old.

The increasing value of the land

Las Vegas Girl Hurries To Injured

to sustain severe injuries.

by the young lady: rs this the coun-
" clerks officer" he blurted out un-

your marriage licenses" Well, that
was just what she happened to be
after and promptly side-stepping the
ungallant treasurer she made her way
to the coy and blushing, but more con
sidsrate clerk, where she secured the
coveted document and made sure Of
the legal status Of the justice Of the
reace at Goodsprings. She returned
the same evening and we presume the
ceremony was performed forthwith.
1t appears that while semi-delirious
as a result of his injuries, Mr.. Hardy
insisted that the marriage take place
and to please him promptly consent.

county seat to make the necessary
arrangements.
