Uncle Sans Employees
on Isthmus Have Sport
and Good Times Aplenty

So much has been said about the
giant task accomplished at Panama
that one might think that Uncle
Sans employees on the isthmus had
no pleasures. AS a matter of fact,
many of them are sportsmen. For
example. on Gatun Lake are to be seen
numbers of high-powered motor boats,
and there are few places where the
sport of motor boating may be more
thoroughly enjoyed tnan on this great
artihcial lake with its numerous arms
and estuaries reaching far into the
jungle, where twelve-foot alligators
doze beside the water and deer come
down to drink at sunset.
Many of the employees and soldiers
are enthusiastic hunters and deer are
extremely plentiful on the isthmus,
while alligators and tapirs are also
favorite objects of the chase a few
weeks ago, one of the soldiers sta
toned at Gatun killed a tapir weigh
ing 500 pounds within half a mile of
his barracks. Alligator hunting is a
sport of long standing and many ira
ditions on Panama. The alligator
story has somewhat the same status
there as the well-known fish story in
the United States. Every old hunter
has some tale to tell you about a IA
the brains four times and loaded into
his boat, only to have ii come to life
and slap him into the middle of next
week with single stroke of its power
full tail.
One unique and wholly indigenous
sport at Panama is that of tarpon
fishing off Gatun Spillway. Below the
great dam the Chagres river is a deep
and narrow stream all the way to the
sea. Furthermore, it is filled with
Spanish jack and several other small
fish of which the tarpon are very fond
The latter run up from the sea and
seem especially fond of feeding just at
the foot of the great spillway. When
the gates of the dam are closed. espe-
oially on a Sunday, long rows of ang-
lers stand along the spillway waiting
for a strife from the great leaping
game fish. They have the very best
equipment - powerful rods which
which they gouge in leather holders at
their belts. Reels of European manu-
facture, worth fabulous sums of
money, lines that would hold a horse,
and tiny wire leaders. On a Sunday
there are often fifteen or twenty ang-
lers on the spillway, usually one or
two women among them, while on the
banks sit an eager and interested
crowd.
Suddenly. one of the lines flashes
taut and a silver fish five feet long
filings himself out of the water. shak-
ing his head. A shout goes up from
the crowd, they begin to coach the
fisherman exactly as they would a
runner at basball game. Then there
is another strike. Two of them are
going at once. With several of the
giant fish hooked at the same time
and everybody thoroughly excited, the
spectacle becomes one worth going a |
long way to see.
If you want to know all the facts
about the building and operation of
the great Isthmus waterway, as we'll as

centage for five games of .444. Cap
tain Luderus, OF the Phillies, was close

trary, in addition to Lewis had Hoop

The actual averages are topped by
Foster, the hard-hitting pitcher of
the Red Sox, and Rixey for the Phils.
Each of these hit 500, but as Fos-
ter took part in only two games and
RiXey in but part OF one, they cannot

Special TO The Telegraph

Boston, Mass. Oct. 1.-THE word
that this city had again become the
home of the worlds baseball cham
pions. though greeted with noisy
demonstrations in front of every bulle-
tin board. was received with mixed
feelings by multitude of enthusiasts.
The victory of the Red Sox was a
popular one. and Lewis and Hooper,
heroes of the contest, were especially
applauded, but. through the street
crowds was voiced again and again
during the game the wish that the
teams might return here for another
contest.

Philadelphia will make necessary a
return of $4,000 to seat holders by
the management of the Boston club.
This sum has been paid in for reser-
vations for possible third game here.
Plans for returning the money to the
ticket purchasers will be announced
later.
Proposals to celebrate the Red Sox
victory by a banquet at which the
players would be guests were discussed
In several quarters, but under limi-
tations caused by a request of Presi-
dent Lannin that there be no such
observance.
Mayor Curley. after the Red So.,
had won, said that his intention to
celebrate the victory with a banquet
was abandoned out of Difference to the
wishes of the club president. Mr..

would not remain together If they

FREE TREES FOR FARMERS

For several years the A. V. S.
B. & l. L. Co. has had established
several small nurseries, disposing
of the trees to people who de-
sired same, but this year Man
ager Partridge informs us that
the trees will be given free to
all people who will plant and
care for same.
The nurseries are located on
their two ranches, one just West
Of town and the other the Fruit
farm, and the trees consist of
Cottonwoods and Locusts, they
being several inches in diameter
and just the right size for trans
planting.
Parties desiring trees must call
at one Of the ranches on either
the 18th or 18th of this month,
and the company will have a man
stationed there to distribute
same. Mr.. Partridge announces
that the company will be liberal
in this distribution. and this is
indeed a fine chance to secure
some shade trees to help beautify
your place.
The Chieftain wishes to extend
congratulations to the company
and Mr.. Partridge for this move.
1t will be q great help to many
people and we hope that many
will take advantage of the offer.
Trees are of a great benefit to
any section in many ways, and
also add considerable to the value
of property.

HENRY STARR is

Probably Most Noted Bandit Since the Days of the

in Attempt to rob Bank in Oklahoma

Henry Starr, noted bank rob-
ber and for years a resident of
this section and where he pulled
off" one bank robbery, was shot
and wounded at Stroud, Okla
homa, last Saturday. after he and
his gang had successfully looted
the bank. of that town and were
attempting to make their escape.
Starr and eight companions had
planned to rob the two banks of
that town, dividing their forces
and intending to rob the banks
simultaneously. 1t appears that
the party headed by Starr was
the only one successful and the
alarm spread so rapidly that the
gang had to fight their way
through the main street of that
town to the stockyards where
they had left their horses, Starr
and a man named Estes being
wounded enroute.
According to reports Starr was
shot by a mere boy, the bullet
striking himtin the hip and shat
tering the bone. The gang made
no attempts to ree:ue him. Over
81, 500 was found on his person.

Starr is a quite likeable fellow
and one who hardly a person
would suspect of being a des-
perado. He still has many friends
hereabouts.
While Starr was living in this
town great care was taken that
he be given no opportunity to
attempt any robberies. While he
announced that he was through
with the old life forever still
many people doubted him and all
precautions were taken 80 that
he would not be tempted. Sew
eral guns that have not been un-
loaded since his release from the
penintentiary will now be placed

Estes. the man who was cap
tured with Starr, was here last
winter in company with Starr.
It was reported that Starr and

rooned by the breaking down of
their auto near Stonington last
