BUCK DEER IN

 GAME TO DEATH Stranger Vaults High Fence and Gives Battle to Four
 Bucks Already There STATE GAME WARDEN ENDS ANIMALS PAIN Weird Spectacle Given to Few Observers in Vicinity
 of Success Hill

The machinery of the Connecticut game laws were invoked this morning to put a 200 pound buck deer out of. misery at the reservation of the Rem. ington Arms-U. M c. Go. on Success Hill. When the company moved its powder magazines to this section and developed a, large park several years ago a number of deer selected it as an ideal abiding place, and Keeper A1achaeI Logan has tried to make con- 3ditions agreeable to them The high fence about the grounds is so built that deer can vault the fence from the outside but not from the Inside
 A year ago the size Of the herd reached such proportions that ten of the deer were sent to deer park in another part, of the state. There is about a dozen deer at the park now and few days ago a magnificent stranger, a buck with unusually broad antlers for the type of deer that abounds in this Stae. bounded into the arena and gave challenge to the four bucks already in the herd. AS the mating season is in its height the stranger came at an inopportune time His challenge was accepted and he met the same fate that usually awaits the cockere1 who fiys into the chicken yard next door and attempts to have himself accepted as fscock O. the walk
 But the strange buck was game and he fought each Of the bucks of the herd in turn only to be driven into a corner with a leg broken and a broken jaw,

 Hartford. Dec 3In response to a request from the fish and game com mission, Attorney General John H Light has given an opinion concern ing the ownership of deer. Some time ago dead deer was found by a man in Windham county who claimed possession. The county game warden disagreed with him and an appeal was taken to the commission. The attor- ney general says:

Intercession of Colombian Consul Brings Leniency to
 Scion of Wealthy Family

At the request of the Colombian consul stationed in New York, an 1s- year-old South American youth, charged with stealing 1,Os0 Panama hats, was spared a prison sentence when ararigned in the criminal supe- rior court today.
 Juan Grizzlies is the name of the young man whose prominence was sufficient to warrant the intervention of the Colombian consul. Juanss fla ther is wealthy man in Colorubfa and it was upon the assurance that the boy would sail for South America Saturday that Judge Curtis suspended Judgment.
 The charge against Junan was made by Calhoun & Coe, hat dealers of New York. They placed him in charge of a hat factory in Stamford but it was claimed that he shipped hats valued at $2,520 to man in New York who sold them. He was bound over from the Stamford city court
 Raul Ratrispo, q Spanish importer of New York. was on hand& today to. act as interpreter and also to bear a message from the Colombian consul. The hat firm did not care to press the charge and upon the statement of MT. Calhoun, who said he would see that Juan went aboard the steamer Saturday, the court was lenient4 Mr. Calhoun said he was a friend of she boys father and that while on a South American trip had been persuaded to bring Juan to this country. The boys father wanted him to have an Ameri- can business education.

 POSSESSIONS OF POWERS IN

rect aid of the Japanese is finally ac- cepted and Germany should lose in her bitter fight, Japan would become most formidable to her neighbors in the Pacific.
 Early in November it became known throughout German diplomatic circles that Russia, besides losing countless numbers of men had sustained a. loss of nearly 1,500 cannon captured by Germany proper and in the Austrian conflict. It is estimated that at the beginning of the war Russia had but 5000 field pieces, the loss to Germany being about 25 per cent. Russia can not import cannon owing to her ports being closed in the East by ice and on the Baltic by a blockade of the Ger mans One factory of small capacity at Puti1off is unable to turn out suffi- cient number to replete the losses Dr. Duesing asserts that in this contin- gency Russia turned to Japan for ord nance The reply of the Japanese government was to the effect that she could supply 200 pieces, providing Rus sia would cede the northern half of the large island of Sakhalin, the south ern half of which already belongs to the Japanese by the treaty of Ports mouth and lying below the 50th merf- dian This could give Japan complete

All went well until he was approaching Milford when a New Haven bound touring car approached "hogging'' the road. In an attempt to avoid being run down Atlas steered far to the right until slzfdding wheels resulted in their going over a slight depres- sion and the car turning turtle. The touring car continued on it's way without needing the call for help After almost an hour John Seamon, employed as a chauffeur in New HaA ven, came along on his way home, heard the shouts and gavA assistance.
