HERD OF ELK TO
BE MOVED TODAY
Will be Taken From Farm
Of Senator dupont to
Local Zoo
TWO RANCHMEN
IN CHARGE OF JOB

An effort is to be made this after
noon to move one or more Of the
herd OF eleven elk, given to the city
by United States Senator T. Coleman
DUPONT, from Brookside, the SEN
ator's farm, near Mount Cuba, to the
enclosure prepared for the animals
in North Brandywine Park.
Two professional ranchmen. named
Gibson and Jones, who make a busi-
ness Of moving large animals will
attempt to lasso and ''bur-ring."
two big bucks of the herd. They be-
lieve the storm will aid them in their
job, because the herd, unable to
Craze out in the open because OF
snow, will be found within the
building occupied by it at the farm
once the ranchmen get their
quarry lassoed and bull tied" they
anticipate little difficulty in bringing
the animals into the city by motor
truck. Gibson and Jones applied
last week to Park Commissioner
Samuel II. Baynard for the job of
moving the elk. They are stalwart
chaps and have spent years in the
West as cowboys. Mr. Baynard to-
day referred them to Francis Vic
tor DUPONT, son of the Senator, who
is familiar with the elk herd at
Brookside. Mr.. DUPONT is OF the
opinion that while perhaps one or
two OF the big bull elk may attempt
to stage a game fight, the majority
of the herd can be moved without
serious trouble.
While Gibson and Jones are down
at Brookside farm "bagging the elk, Or
Commissioner Baynard will be at
the new enclosure in Brandywine
Park awaiting arrival of the ami
mails. This enclosure is about three
and a half acres in area and is sur
rounded by an eleven-foot fence
made of the heaviest steel wire OBJ
tainable. There also is a comfort
able shack for the herd in the en-
closure, and Mr.. Baynard believes
the elk will be as contented in their
new quarters as they have been at
their present ones.
Commissioner Baynard, who per-
sonally paid for and supervised the
fence and shack. is taking the live
liest kind of interest in the transfer
of the herd. He believes it will be
a most valuable acquisition for the
park ZOO" and one which will
arouse much public interest. He says
it isn't often that a city is presented
such a fine gift and that Senator du.
Pont is deserving of much commen.
dation for his public interest in tn,
| park and its animal display.

5 TOLEDO BANDITS
MAKE RICH HAUL
At Point of Pistol Get IL Sacks
of Mail and Escape in
Automobile.

Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 17.--Five ban
dts drove up to the postoffce at
O'Clock this morning and help UP the
clerks at the point of revolvers,
seized eleven sacks of registered mail
and made their escape. The value
of the contents of the sacks could
not be estimated at an early hour
this morning.
A postoffce truck had Just arriv-
ed from the Union Station with a
load of mail from the east and en-
ployees had finished unloading the
truck when the bandits car drove UP
to the 14th street entrance and the
robbers covered the clerks. The
bandit car was pursued for some
distance, but succeeded in escaping.
Sheriff Taylor and assistants have
surrounded several resorts at Point
Place, north of the city, in one OF
which the robbers are believed to be
hiding.
Immediately after the robbery a
watchman at the postoff1ce jumped
i'll one of the government trucks and
attempted to follow the bandit car.
The car used by the bandits was
recovered this morning. It was a
Studebaker, bearing an Ohio license
number, which had been stolen from
a. local garage on Wednesday.
The sheriff estimated the value of
the lot between sS0O,OCO and $400.-
900.

Bodies Preserved in Coffns Of Run

Tuscaloosa, Ala. Feb. 20.- The
olden days when rum was consider
ed the very perfection Of embalming
fluids we're brought forcibly to mind
here with the falling into decay of
the vault or mausoleum Of Charles
H, Patterson and his wife. Patter-
son, a hotel proprietor, died in 1847
and his wife in 1867. Both bodies
were enclosed in leaden caskets fll-
ed with rum and Theoretically seal
ed before being placed into the vault
which was built on top of the
ground
Although the ravages Of the ele-
ments had obliterated the brick
walls Of the vault the caskets were
found to be in state Of perfect pre-
servation. Embalmers say there is
no doubt the bodies Of the Patter-
sons remain perfectly preserved.

Hughes promised his father that
he would not read "a novel until he

He applied himself so closely to
his work that, he admits, he seldom
called upon Miss Antoinette Carter
to whom he was engaged and whom
he married Dec. S, 1888.
ENTRY IN NEW YORK.
After his marriage he moved to
New York. Few knew him. He mix
ed little in politics.
Then in 1905 he was appointed as
counsel for New York legislative
committee investigating gas and
electric companies. In three weeks
he proved the consolidated gas COM
panies a monopoly.
Later in the same year he was
called from abroad to conduct the
Armstrong investigation of the life
insurance companies.
Hughes emerged with the reputa-
ton of being the shrewdest cross
examiner in the country.
He was elected governor of New
York in 1906 defeating William
Randolph Hearst. He was reelected
in 1908 and before his second term
had expired was named justice of
the supreme court by President Taft.
1T was my chief aim in life to
reach the greatest bench in the
world" said Hughes.
Hughes resigned from the supreme
court in 1915 to accept the Repub-
lican nomination for president.
