BIG BUCK ATTACKS
AND INJURIES NEGRO

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 31.--A lerce en-
counter between Jim James, negro
farm hand on the farm of F.. M. Cole
man, two miles from the city. on the
robins road, and a big buck that en-
tered the field where the man was at
wcrs, occurred at an early hour today
and as result the negro is suffering
from painful wounds inflicted by the
animaF's antlers in the calf of one OF
his legs.
-Four negroes were at work in the
field on the Coleman place when the
deer bounded over fnce and charged
upon them. They ran, but the buck
viciously attacked James, who grab
bed up stick and tried to frighten
the animal away. But the bucks an.
ger was aroused, and for few min
utes negro and deer engaged in a
rough-and-tumble battle. In attacking
James the deer would lower his head
and charge upon him. In one of these
attacks an antler entered the calf of
the leg, and for several minutes it was
impossible for the farm hand to ex-
tricate himself He was pinned to the
ground. the deer above him working
his antlers in the flesh. The negro
cried out with pain, and the others
seemingly stunned by the sight, for
few moments remained inactive. Fin
ally they rushed to the assistance of
James, and with sticks tried to- beat
off the deer, who dragged James to a
stump. After several Intellectual at
tempts to help the PROSTATE man get
loose from the antler he finally was
released. The buck bounded to an.
other part of the field, and James was
carried to the farm house, later being
sent to his home, where physicians
were summoned. He probably will
lose his leg, as physicians believe 1t
will have to be amputated The mem
her was terribly lacerated by the ant
lers.
Whether III deer is one that had
been confined on private property or
a wild one that came fresh from the
woods is not known.

jackson, Miss, Dec. 31-Although
the legislature will convene during
the next week, and the actual settle

it seems just as hard for the average
on-looker to get satisfactory line
on the probabilities as ever before.
The men who have announced their

best of every opportunity to present
their claims to their colleagues, who
must do the choosing. Just how
many will actually go on the floor of
the House when the fight gets at that
stage. will not be known until the
clans actually get together.
Since the personnel of the House
became definitely known, eight men
have, at one time or another, formal

willing, and would invite the light
ming to strike their way. These are:

that he will support the Coahoma can

While il has been impossible to try
