The Distinquished Guest.

With military qua lities of the highest kind. he had a singular bearing. savage sort of misaDthropy and cynical tongue. which stood in the way of pro- motion. When he was in the Sixth lancers. on garrison duty at Com mercy. one of his comrades brought bis father to dine with him at the officers mess. a man of humble posi- ton and unpretentiously dressed. Cap tain Raabe. considering that this guest had not been fifty received. gave expression to his opinion. saying that if the executionpr of Commercy had come in evening dress he would have had a better reception The officers demurring. be made no rejOinder. but shortly afterward came to mess with guest whose dress was irreproach- able.

MRS. DAYTON CALLS 0N HILL AT JAIL
Weers in Sympathy with Plight of Man She Plan ned to Marry.

Mrs. Cora Dayton, the companion in flight of Sherman K. Hill, the ab- sconding Atlantic hotel clerk, paid a brief visit to Hill at the county jail today, and when she left that institu- tion her features plainly showed tha: she had been weeping.
 Hill is given the usual treatment accorded to the so called bound-over prisoners, place in a big long cell occupied in common with other of lenders whose crimes are of such a nature as to warrant their being held for the higher e urt.
 Mrs. Dayton said she had no espec- ial purpose in calling on Hill save to console him in his trouble. She was to have married Hill as soon as she secured a divorce at Reno and it was while the two were en route for the Nevada town when they were intercepted, at Washington, D. C.
 None has yet volunteered to post the bond of $2,5n0 required for Hills release pending his trial in the Su- periOr court.

VuIture and Rattier.

An odd battle bet ween California vulture and rattIesnake was wit messed in the Cocopah mountains of Lower California. IL was in rbe early morning The big bird had seized the snake behind the head and was strug- gItng upward with its writhing. deadly burden. The snakes captOr appeared aware that it's victim was dangerous The burden was heavy. as the reptile was nearly five feet long.
 The grip of the bird on the snakes body was not of the best The snake seemed to be squirming from it's cap tors taIOns. at least sufficiently 10 en- able ft to strike It's triangular head was seen to recoil and dart at the mass of feathers.
 It did this once or twice. and then with a shriek the vulture dropped it's prey. The bird was probably 5OO feet or so above the observers The as- tonished men were then treated 10 a spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but a vulture could accomplish such feat
 The instant the snake escaped from the birds clutches it dropped earth ward like shot. and like a shot the bird dropped after it. catching if in midair with grip that caused death. At any rate. the snake ceased to wri.- gle. and the yulture scared away to a mountain peak to devour it's hard earned meal.

SCHIOT'S CAR BRUSHES LAD AT
 PLAY IN STREET

Nlne-year-old Burton E. Platt. IT,. 253 State street, is perhaps fatally in Jured, at St. Vincent's hospital. as a result Of being run down by a tour ing ear owned by Lieut. Johannes Schiott, the son-in-law of F. T. Bed tord. standard Oil magnate. living in Greens Farms. Lieut. Schiott is president of the Blue Ribbon Garage. His Bridgeport home is at 127 Park Place.
 Little Burton was at play in the street in front of BuIlen's cafe, Bank street, when the car, driven by Chauf- feur Thomas Nelson, drove through rom Broad street. Darting suddenly against the car he fell in the street, and one of the rear wheels passed part way over his body.
 Chauffeur Nelson had damned down the brakes so quickly that the car did not pass clear over the little form, and he backed the wheel off the child S body and leaping out, got the lad on his feet and carried him to the side walk.
 The child cried so Justify that the patrons of the cafe who ran out and the passersby thought he had escaped with nothing worse than fright.
 James kerwin, vice president of the Auto Dealers Association, of this city.
 
 his car to the Schiott party, which comprised besides the chauffeur, Mrs. Schiott and her little daughter.
 Kerwin brought the injured boy to the Emergency hospital at top speed. However, there was no surgeon on hand. Dr. H. R. Bennett, the noon hour. relief doctor, was on duty from o'clock in the morning. suppIant:ng the regular day surgeon, Dr. E. C. krause. and Dr. Bennett had left for his midday meal.
 Ambulance Driver Burlison who was in charge of the Emergency hospital at the time, sought to get other doc tors connected with the Emergency hospital staff, but could locate none at either their offices or homes. and as the child appeared to be suffering con- siderable pain he suggested that Ker- win take the boy to one of the general hospitals.
 Kernin and the youngsters father, who had arrived at the Emergency hospital meanwhile. carried the child tenderly out to the automobile and sped to St. Vincent's hospital. It was found that his left side had been crushed, with the fracture of four or five ribs. and there was indications of one or more punctures of the lung. The child suffered also from shock It was feared at press hour that the accident might result fatally.
 The child's father is shipping clerk for Frank Gernert, a produce dealer, at his storage department at 421 Hou- satonic avenue.
 The police became active at once on the arrival of the lad at police head quarters. Schiott's chauffeur did not report the accident at police headouar- ters, but from the investigation the authorities made. they were satisfied that he was not at fault, and made no move to arrest him.
