DEER RACE A TROLLEY CAR
Three of Them Amuse the Passengers
on an interburban Line in
Connecticut.

Passengers on the car leaving this
city one afternoon were treated to a
pretty sight at the rock cut below
Egypt Brook on the Derby line when
three large deer raced ahead OF the fast
running car for over 500 .ards, leav-
ing the tracks when the car got so
close that the fender touched the
hind legs of the last dee1
Motorman j. l.. Mcguire came upon
a sharp turn in the rock cut and
sounded his gong The deer stood
still for a moment and Mcclure put
on his brakes, as he was afraid that
he would strike them He blew the
air whistle and the three were Of in a
jiffy, running ahead of the car at full
speed. Mcclure then followed while
the passengers aboard the car
crowded into the front end to watch
the deer They ran gracefully to-
gether, but could not get off the tracks
as there is a very steep declivity on
the right hand side and the bank ran
up too steep on the left to permit them
to get off the right Of way.
Finally they came tc a spot where
they could leave and one after the
other they jumped into the under.
brush on the uphill side. The last
deer fingered so long by the side OF
the track that the fender brushed its
heels as it lcaped aside
Two of the deer were fair sized
while the third was one of the largest
seen by the trolleymen in their expert
ence along that line. Deer are rather
common in the Beacon Falls section
of the run and they are frequently
seen by early morning trolley crews.
Harry Hogan, conductor of the car,
said that although he has seen many
deer on the trolley tracks in that
section. these seemed less afraid Of
the car than any.-Waterbury Re-

]. W. HOLT FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

From time immernorial it has been
a custom of the Democratic party to
accord to an officer who has been
faithful in the discharge of his du-
ties second term. The friends of
John w. Holt, who announces in the
Log Cabin Democrat today, his can
didacy for reelection as county and
probate judge, believe that there is
nothing in his record which should
cause the Democrats Of Faulkner
county to make him an exception to
this long-estabiished custom. On the
contrary, they point to many admir-
able policies Of Judge Holt in his Of
fetal position, which entitle him to
favorable consideration. H h S
earnestly and faithfully endeavored
to give the people . good administra-
ton along all lines, but has been
most active toward two praiseworthy
accomDlishments- III ding goo d
roads and reducing the county's in
debtedaess. Difficult as it is to ac-
comrlsh both objects at the same
time Judge Holt has made good pro-
gre along both lines of endeavor.
IT, 9mpletion of his first term will
shag a marked decrease in the coun-
t. ct, It is confidently believed, and
~ securing the cooperation of tie
7 Us:ncas men and the farmers he is
doing a splendid work toward inn
proving the county's roads. His
friends believe he will easily be elect
ed 5o a second term in order that he
my AIRY out his plans for the ben
eft Of the county.

nages were taken by consumers on the
basis OF loE cents for late October and
November delivery. The fact that con-
sumers were willing to buy for Novem-
Der delivery was favorably construed by
trade interests here. as it indicated q
good price for the metal during the late
months or the year. This buying was
foreshadowed by the recent sharp ad-
vances In the price OF standard warrants
in the London metal market, which
reached go yesterday for spot. This
spot copper warrants have sold at E70
or above, and the third time that figure
has been reached this year. The low
price for standard copper warrants was
made IN July, when sales were made at

printed In book form they would all
prove valuable addition to the mining
