WILD STEER
CAUSES
Streets of South Pittsburg Filled
With Alarm by 8OVine Who
Goes loco"

william Lee had an experience Fri
day that was exciting, thrilling and
dangerous He. in company with 9th
ers, who included his guest, Rev. W.
D. Dew, of Pikeville, went to South
Pittsburg with some cattle. The trip
there was made without incident, but
when in the act of weighing long
horned steer on the city scales, the an
imal suddenly went mad, or "loco' as
the COW boys style it, and caused
lively time, veritable stampede.
Rev. Dew was standing in front of
it, and it began the excitement by
charging at him, and he narrowly es-
capped serious injury. 1t ran on down
the street, charged at any one who
sought to stop it, chased man on a
moter cycle, charged into delivery
wagons, hooked at horses, and at Hud-
sons Store caught up with an old col
ored man who was fleeing for his life,
and at catching him upon his horns,
gave him a spectacular ride to the bot
tom of the hill, where he was thrown
to the ground and sustained broken
leg. Men with whips and pitchforks
were then assembled to round up the
unruly animal and managed to entice
and lure it into an enclosure which
was surrounded by high board fence.
Even when surrounded by this the
steer evinced the utmost ferocity, at
tacking any and all who appeared. 1t
would charge from one side to anoth-
er, plunging blindly into the fence
with its horns. A citizen of South
Pittsurg, one Mc(1ee, who fears moth
ing, was summoned to rope the ami
NAL, but when he made his appear
ance with pitchfork and rope, expect
ing to drive 1t into a corner and rope
it, it was only the signal for a greater
outburst of ferocity which caused him
to beat hasty retreat
Finally the animal was roped from
over the fence and wagon backed in,
to the end of which it was made fast,
and hauled out into the street. kick
ing, plunging and believing in bovine
fury. 1t laid down, refusing to be
led, and as it was impracticable to
drag it, so it was securely tied, and
loaded into the wagon and taken to
the slaughter pen of party who had
purchased it. The steer died that
night, having become overheated from
its exertions during it's mad fight.
During the melee, Mr.. Lee wanted
to shoot the animal and have the
trouble over with, but was met with
assurance that the steer would be cap
tured Many citizens ascended trees
during the fracas, as it was a good
deal safer in the limbs of good high
tree than on the ground.

REAR ADMIRAL
SCHLEY DROPS DEAD

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
who commanded the American fleet at
Santiago. dropped dead in New York
Monday. The cause of death was from
the breaking of blood vessel in his
brain.
Besides winning the naval victory of
Santiago, Admiral Schley won renown
for bravery in the attack on the Sallee
forts in Korea in 1871, and in 1884 res
cued Lieut.. Greeley and six survivors

bine. BY the failure of Admiral
Sampson to be ON hand at Santiago

tory.

CAPTURED 'EM.
Horse Thieves CorraIIed at
Manchester by Sheriff
Rogers.

Henly and Tucker. two youths of
Monteagle, who slipped down to
Ketchall last week, and stole horses be-
longing to John Smith and George
Smith. were caught up with at Man
chester and arrested. Deputy Sheriff
Steve Rogers went from Jasper and
brought the boys back. The boys, in
compsny with third boy, who has
not been arrested, went to KetChall
Wednesday night. and tried to steal
some mules at different farms, but the
mules being in pasture eluded their
efforts to capture them. They visited
j. G. Lankester's farm and took a
bride and saddle. Finally they got
horses belonging to John Smith and
George Smith, and lit tout with them.
The third boy, in default of horse
to ride, was left at Monteagle, with a
promise that the Others, Tucker and
Henley, would go to Manchester and
sell the horses and bring the money
back, giving him one-third. They
tried to sell them to livery man at
Manchester, who refused to trade with
them owing to their youth, and finally
got enough from them to get a clue
as to where the horses came from. He
telephoned over, and received at once
confirmation of his suspicious that the
horses had been stolen, and received
orders to have the lads arrested. This
was done and they were detained until
the arrival of Deputy Rogers. Both
horses were secured.

WAR DECLARED
BETWEEN ITALY
AND TURKEY

War has been declared between Italy
and Turkey and reports have it that a
bombardment has already been made
by the Italians of Tripoli, the capital
of the country of same name.
The cause of the war is desire of
each country to get possession of the
barren land of Tripoli, and country
which, during the days of the Roman
conquerors, was remarkable for its fine
forests and verdure. but now is almost
continuous desert.

loses AGAIN.
Sequachee Team Drops An
other to Jasper.

Sequaehee and Jasper clashed again
on the Jasper diamond Saturday even
ing. As usual two of the first team
we're absent, both star players, Doss
and Lasater, and the boys did not feel
very jubilant when entering the game.
They put up stiff fight, and barring
one bad inning would have taken off
the plum.
Barrett started in to do the twirling
for Sequachee, but the Jasper players
had been studying the slow drop curve
ever since his appearance the Saturday
before, and lit on to him like a house
a-fire, getting eight of their twelve
runs during the two innings he pitch
ed. Brewer was put in box in third
inning and four runs was all Jasper
could do with his fast ball. Then be-
gan the tedious, racking task of the
locals to overcome a seven run lead,
and they fought so nobly to regain
their ground that it was almost like a
victory when the game was over. In
the sixth and seventh they got six runs
and were coming fast, but a hoodoo
hit their heavy batters in some way
and it was the best they could do to
finish with nine runs, lacking three of
getting even. A. Barrett did star
work at the bat, his per cent. being
perfect, five safe hits out of five times
up. He also did good work behind the
bat, his only miscue being losing track
of thrown ball to the plate to catch
the runner. which gave Jasper two
runs of their lead. Brewer besides
pitching good ball, did some nice
work with the bat, and E. Barrett's s
hit in 9th was timely. G. Jones
catch of line drive back of first was
crackerjack. Sequachee's heavy
batters, on whom it was depending to
pluck the game from the fire, had an
off day, and were not there with the
goods, and the bottom of the batting
list took the honors. However the
sluggers are going to get their eye on
the ball once more before the season
closes, and then Lookout, Peter
B. Pope pitched nice game for Jas
pei, and did some excellent work. He
had good control and was we'll sup
ported. Robertson did spectacular
work in left field, taking in the high
flies of the sluggers, one after another.
Johnston played nice game at first,
as also Pope at second. Stewart was
in the game also, and had great deal
to do in holding his team together at
critical times.
Arrangements will probably be made
for the teams to play here Oct. IA,
Darr umpired satisfactory game.
His only bad decision was against the
locals in the midst of their batting
rally, when he called W. Martin out
at the plate for being hit by foul ball
on second strike Only two balls had
been thrown Martin, one he fouled
and the other he did not strike at.
The rule is when batter is hit on third
strike. 1t cost Sequachee heavily as
two men were ON bases, and it made
the third out
