New Yorker Comes to Rescue of Four Alleged Rum Runners Captured By New Hayen Police.

New Haven, March 7.--Bonds to- talling sS,o00, given by New Yorker for four men arrested for rum run ming, were ordered forfeited in city court today. The men who failed to respond were members of the crew of the yacht Chicota which docked here January 2i. On board were about 400 cases of whiskey secured from vessel off Montauk Point. The crew came into the harbor during a storm and apparently they had lost their exact bearings although at the time a New Haven man was on board it was alleged. The latter is out on bail in the same case but his bonds man is not the New Yorker who came here and got the other men out of jail. The men who are fugitives are John Talmadge. Edward Pearson, William Phillips and James Marvin.

DOE ELUDES POLICE
 BUT IS CAUGHT LATER
Cornered in Heart of City, Loaded Into Truck and
 and Set Free

A leap over fence and wall eight feet high at the Stanley Works on Lake street by young doe this morning, frustrated an attempt by the police to corner the animal. The young animal had wandered into the city and was running around the sec- tion near Lake street and Grove hill, in a panic. according to a report sent in to the police.
 Patrolmen Herbert c. Lyon and Lincoln May were sent out with the police patrol and located the fright cned doe in field. They made an attempt to corner it and succeeded in turning it into the Stanley Works yard. The deer took refuge in a sheltered corner but as the police closed in, 1t shot from its hiding place and sailed over the fence with foot to spare, as easily and gracefully as an airplane leaving the ground.
 Before the police could resume the pursuit two dogs took up the chase, and the terrified beast practically flew along High street, easily outdistanc- ing the dogs which soon gave up the chase and returned with dropping heads. Having lost track of the anil nal. the police returned to the sta- ton where a call came in immediately after that the deer had been caught in the yard of the Corbin company at Elm and Chestnut streets by several boys. The police went there and the doe, making frantic efforts to gain its freedom, was loaded into a closed-in auto. truck. and taken to the Shuttle Meadow lake, where fl was turned loose. The deer did not wait to thank it's deliverers but took 10 its heels and was soon lost sight of in the distance.
