Curtis Watford Badly Shocked by

Timmonsville, May 22.-E. G. Wat
ford's son, Curtis, while lying on the
floor Yesterday afternoon near where
the rod was grounded was severely
shocked by lightning. The remain
der of the family were in the bed and
hardly felt the shock, but seeing the
boy struggling went to his aid. Upon
examination they found him uncon-
scious, but by the use of water and
camphor he was resuscitated. His
ewes are still in a serious condition.
and it is feared that he will lose his

DISTRIBUTING ELK HERDS.
Shipments From Johnson's Hole and
Yellowstone Park.

The long promised distribution of
elk from Jackson's Hole and Yellow
stone National Park has begun, says
Cheyenne, Wyo., dispatch to The
New York Sun. Thousands of the
animals are now being rounded up by
cowboys on the overstocked winter
range in Wyoming and Montana, and
are being shipped by the carload to
States that have sent in requests for
them.
A carload of 80 elk, rounded up on
the Yellowstone Park region and ship
ped from Gardiner, Mont, arrived in
Denver the other day on their way to
Arizona. These elk will be turned out
upon their new range in Arizona.
They will be protected from hunters
under State laws, and will be given
every opportunity to increase.
Herds of elk have recently been
sent in this way to Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, North Dakota, Wash
ington, Oregon and California. Many
other States have put in applications
and will be provided with shipments
as fast as the animals can be rounded
up.
1t was prophesied when this plan
was adopted the elk would not stand
shipment, but the percentage of loss
has been small. Only one of the Ari-
zona consignment died en- route. 1t
is necessary to give the elk rest
every day. They are unloaded from
the cars and put into convenient cor
rails, and after a few hours rest pro-
ceed on their journey. In this way
the loss is comparatively small.
The government was forced to
adopt this plan to prevent the elk in
the West from going the way of the
buffalo-to extinction Most of the
elk in the Rocky Mountains had rang
ed north until they reached Jackson's
Hole region south of Yellowstone
Park. Here they congregated in vast
herds
Last year Congress appropriated a
considerable sum for the care and
feeding of the JacksOn's Hole elk,
which were starving in the deep
SHOWS. Government employees, aided
by ranchmen, carried hay to the elk
ranges, where they found conditions
appalling, especially in the early
spring. Hundreds of calves, as we'll
as older elk, were dying of starvation.
The lives of thousands of elk were
saved by feeding, but it was soon
demonstrated that this measure of re-
lief was only temporary. 1t would
entail a tremendous expense to keep
up the work of feeding, so it was de-
termined to distribute the elk among
the States that put in application for
herds and that were willing to pay
the expenses of transportation and
guarantee protection to the animals
after arrival.
The work of elk preservation is
UNIQUE. Had similar measures been
undertaken in behalf of the buffalo
the nation would not now be mourn
ing the almost total loss of those ami
mails, which at one time were much
more numerous in the West than are
the elk to-day.

The Irish Wit.

An Irish NJ. P. is telling story OF
a man who complained to three
friends-an Englishman, a Scotch
man and an Irishman-that his SER
want was constantly breaking china,
says Parsons Weekly.
What do you think I ought to do
with her?' he asked plaintivly.
The practical Englishman said:
Dismiss her." But as she was other
wise an excellent servant, her mas
ter was unwilling to do that.
Then, take it out of her wages,
suggested the thrifty Scot.
That wouldn't do much good,
vas the reply, for her wages are less
than the amount of the damage she
does.
Then raise her wages!' said the
Irishman promptly.

THREE BACKF|ELDS
WORKING FOR NAVY
Sailors Planning Wholly For
Big Contest With Army At
Polo Grounds.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct 2S.-Following
the policy of recent years, the Naval
Academy coaches are making every
effort to develop at least three complete
backhelds. So that the new men can be
put in behind the line at the moment
any of the backs appear to have the
edge taken off of their freshness. The
regular backield is now Well settled.
Three of these occupied the same places
last year. They are Leonard and Nc
Reavey at the halves and Harrison 1T
tullback. Mitchell seems 10 have forged
ahead for the quarterback place, and is
now the decided choice for that position.
An excellent second string OF backs is
formed of Vail at quarterback, Failing
and Alexander at the halves. and Miles
we'll balanced. In the first arrange
ment Harrison and McReavey are
heavy line breakers and Leonard and
Mitchell run well with the ball on end
plays. Leonard Is the center Of the
combination. Should the second string
run in Failing would be the heavy man,
with Vail as the kicker. Neither
Alexandria nor Miles is as heavy as
Harrison, though either is heavier than
Leonard. Thus the weigh in the com
binations is very well matched. Vail
is also a good runner with the ball. be-
Ing easily Mitchelrs equal in this line.
The third string is not made I'D in its
final form. though there are several
good men who can go in the game at
any time and hold up their end. At
quarterback there are Vinson and Aus
tin. both excellent players. Further back
there is Bates. a veteran, who has al
ways done good work when called upon.
and Blodgett, the big New York city
lad. who is the most promising of the
new men.
Within a week the second reserve
backfie.d will probably assume more
definite form. For years the Navy has
put great reliance in the multitude Of
good substitutes and point is made OF
giving all of them as much chance in
match games as possible. In the final
game substitutes are run in whenever the
regulars show signs OF fatigue and ON
account Of their previous experience
the team play does not suffer. Atten-
ton is also given to developing subsu-
tutes for the line position, but the
special effort is made TO have an army
OF change men for the backfield.
