TECH SPRINTERS
WORK AT ACADEMY
Second Time Trial Heats Held
This Afternoon; Demming
For Captain

The second of a series of time trials
for the Technical High School relay
team was held this afternoon on the
rack of the Harrisburg Academy. Ac-
CCrding to the time made in the irst
trial last Tuesday afternoon, the Ma
room quaTter-milers will be every whit
as fast as those of the last several
years.
Tech has been outdistanced in the
nile race. run by four of the best 440
men in the school. but once during the
last three years. on all other occa-
siops Tech has been a winner
At last years meet at Philadelphia
the local lads were placed so high that
they could finish but third. Only one
other class made faster time than the
class in which Tech participated. This
years Tech will toe the mark with its
local rivals. Steelton and Central, while
Reading will also compete.
Demming is without a doubt the
fastest quarter miller on the squad as
well as in this part of Pennsylvania.
Very popular among his teammates,
he stands excellent chances of being
elected to the position of captain. 4
dozen other candidates stand equal
chances of making the team, and
Coaches Hill and Peet will hold three
preHmiuaries. the second of which
MAS held to-day. to determine the best
ma most consistent runners.

HORSE VALUED AT $500
SHOT BY STRAY BULLET

A peculiar accident occurred to a
valuable horse belonging to r. W. Ne.
Cain of Ridgwey several days ago, near
this city, which caused the loss of the
animal. .-. ..-,
Mr.. Mccain had been to Montrose
driving span of horses, one of which
was fine stallion, valued at $500.
When he got near the Turner drive
about mile out of town, suddenly the
animal dropped to the ground with his
hind leg broken. An Investigation dis.
closed the presence Of 5000 bullet
in the bone, which was evidently q
spent ball, but had power enough be-
hind it to crush the large bone. The
result was that the splendid animsl
had to be killed.
Mr.. Mccain has no idea where the
shot came from, as he did not hear a
report, and feels certain it was SO far
away as to be out Of hearing.
Persons discharging fire arms in the
country should be very eufsfsl For
death and damage lurk in their wake.

ESCAPED LION GLAD TO
SEEK HAVEN OF CAGE

Sterling, Colo, July 31.-The heroic
action of Special Deputy Sheriff C. 3
Smith subdued len which escaped
from its cage in one of the sideshows
with the circus here.
If Special Deputy Sheriff Smith had
been little more heroic his very act
might have brought about death and
destruction. AS it was, the "ferocious
lion didn't intend to harm anyone. III
fact, there WASH t anyone to harm as
soon as the crowd which hung around
the circus grounds after the show saw
the animal was loose.
There was a sigh of relief when the
special appeared on the scene with his
cartwheel-like star of Office glittering
in the dying suns rays, in itself de-
fiance of that "ferocious lion. Not
trusting to that big star to scare the
lion, the deputy sheriff whipped out n
gun long enough to choke the beast If
the holder ever got close enough to get
down its throat.
But the "ferocious lion paid not
the least attention to star, gun or
Smith. 1t wandered about the grounds,
circling the tents, and after taking one
look at the special it made for its
cage and entered. The possibilities are
that shot might have started trouble.

THE DEUTSCHLAND
sAYs "oooDBYB'

Baltimore, Aug. 1.-The German SUBJ
sea liner Deutschland sailed on her
return voyage to Germany today, 'leav-
ing the pier at Locust point at 5:45 p.
m. The cargo consisted of crude rub
ber, nickel and it is said some gold.
The Deutschland's tender, the tug
Thomas F. Timmins, drew the subma-
rine out to the channel There she pro-
ceeded under her own power. The coast
guard cutter Wissahickon followed close
behind and further back was the Tim
Minis. In this order the little squadron
disappeared around Wagner point. A
few sightseeing motor boat crowds fol-
lowed the sub at some distance in the
rear.
AS the ship left the pier flags were
run up on the North German Lloyd
interned liner Neckar and her crew
lined the rail cheering farewells to their
countrymen on the Deutschland.
Captain Paul Koenig before leaving
expressed confidence that he would take
the ship home in spite of the heavy
odds she would face at sea. Captain
Koenig and his crew of 81 put to sea
with the knowledge that man hurried
to the telephone as soon as they We're
under way and sent entente allies word.
They knew how long the man had
watched at the end of the pier nearby
day and night, but the little captain
went out of Baltimore harbor smiling
and waving his cap. His last words in
the harbor were of praise for America
and his treatment by Baltimore Gus
toms house officials.
To the surveyor of the customs he
said: "We came here dubious about
our reception. We go back certain
that the friendliest feeling exists in
America toward Germany. You have
been more than courteous and the
fatherland will not forget it.''
Captain Koenig knew eight warships
of the allies are waiting for him at
the edge of the three mile limit. "We
shall have to pass unseen within that
radius in order to escape. Were the
water 10 feet deeper there we could
pass under the warships, but we shall
now have to go between them"
