PHAN TOM DEER

ga. MATE
Park Employees Plan to
Trap Annual Eerie
Visitor This Year.

Enoch Arden. the phantom buck.
once king Of the Breckenridge herd.
can come home now.
When nc pays his fleeing visit to
his old stamping ground sometime
soon. he will find the latch string out.
Commissioner of Parks Ray Lam
bert and the few San Antonians who
have seen him and know his story, are
wondering if he will accept. For the
time approaches when the ghostly
beast with giant antlers is due to
come back for brief moment to the
scene of his youth. where he left his
mate behind when he won q dash for
liberty.
Years ago when the deer park was
moved from its site near the Boy
Scout home to the zoo, the buck
escaped and disappeared toward the
north. Behind him was his mate. &
doe with fawn.
COMES BACK IN FALL.
Ever since, as cold weather ap-
proaches the buck has beef seen Turk
ing in the park, an eerie sight as lie
runs with head thrown back, seeking
out the corral where the deer are kept,
as if hunting for the doe he deserted.
Commissioner Lambert has seen the
phantom while driving through the
park at night in the early fall, and
others have reported seeing him flying
along over the grass fairways of the
links.
Somewhere in the hills northwest
of the city this Enoch Arden of the
antlcred herd stays hidden, evading
hunters, and with the coming of cold
weather, braves the dangers of civil
cation to come back to the scene OF
his first love.
SEEN NEAR CITY.
Two years ago it was believed the
buck had been killed when an army
officer shot a deer just outside the
city limits, but Mr.. Lambert saw him
again last fall one moonlight night.
racing across the golf course on the
wings Of the wind. The next morn
ing they found his tracks by the corral
gate where he had stood for a long
time, paving Vt the fence.
Another citizen told Mr.. Lambert
later that he parked his car in one of
the lonely roads late at night. From
the darkness by the side of the road
a pair of eyes glowcd at him. Fearful
of the strange sight, he turned his
lights on and sped away. As he did
so giant buck lcaped easily over a
clump Of bushes and was gone.
WATCH FOR HIM.
1t was the Enoch Arden Of the
park, back on one of his haunts Of
the past.
Park employees are watching out for
him this year. They plan to either
trap him or leave the corral gate open
so the lonesome deer can return to
the fold if he chooses TO do so.
And the life of roaming and free
dom for which he gave up his mate
will be over and Enoch Arden will
find that the doe OF his youth still
awaits for her lover of long ago.

CLERK
One Per Cent Of Box Rent
ers Leave Keys Daily,
Woman Says.
BY BESS CARROLL

A secretary for "forgetters" is
the Job of Miss Jess Newton, who has
found that some people would surely
forget their heads and leave them at
home if heads weren't so hard TO mis-
place.
Miss Newton. postoffice clerk who
has charge Of the rentals and issuing
of keys for all boxes in the San An
tonic postofficc. discovered after a
two-day check that one out Of every
100 people in San Antonio is an incur
able "forgetter." An average of ten
people, per cent of box holders-
forget their keys every morning.
Every species of excuse is offered,
but the main reason is simply the af-
Fiction of forgetting.
MANY EXCUSES.
There are 1882 boxes rented at the
postoffice. An average Of 1000 boxes
are opened daily, And no less than ten
people day are compelled to appeal
to Miss Newton for an order to have
their mail handed out because their
boxes are locked and the key is some
where-anywhere else but with the
owner.
"My husband left on a business trip
and told me to forward bis mail" a
young married woman tells Miss New
ton. "But he forgot to leave his post
office key with me. How am I to get
his mail"
After proper Identification the mail
Of the supplicant is handed out. This
is another service not required by
regulations which Is extended local
patrons through the courtesy of POST
master P. G. Lucas.
RECOGNIZES OFFENDERS.
Since practically all of the rentals
are paid to Miss Newton, she soon
recognizes those who are entitled to
an order when they keys are left at
home. :
Besides, she says, offenders ars
often habitual "forgetters"-and when
she sees an addict to absent-minded-
ness approaching, Miss Newton usu-
ally has the slip made out before he
reaches her desk.
From the lowly errand boy to the
lofty toothbrush magnate, each 'for-
getter' always has an apology even il
he hasn't a key.
"I left tn key on tn desk in th'
office, and I'm skeered the boss will
fire me if 1 hafta go back for it,"
confidcs the office boy.
A mother admits that "Baby" lost
the key when she let him play with
her purse.
MEN FORGET MOST.
Another woman confesses her hus-
band took the key on n fishing trip.
The key was left at home, or in the
car on the key ring land somebody
else is using the carr or at a friends
house or at the office.
Men forget their keys oftener than
women, Miss Newton says. "But men
have a larger percentage of boxes

INSURANCE
V()I[)ED
Charles Henry ScI1Wartz's
Policy NuIIified BY
Own Suicide

. OAKLAND, Calf, Aug. To-.
Al battle for the insurance of
Charles Henry Schwartz, who at
tempted the too perfect crime
and commit suicide when police
trapped him, doomed today as the
closing chapter of the remarkable
crime in which Gilbert Warren
Barbe, itinerant missionary, lost
his life.
Insurance officials, however,
say that the widow will probably
secure none of the $165,0oO in
surance carried by the inventor.
They said that $4,000 of the
insurance was voided by one
year suicide clauses while they
discovered that Schwartz had per-
mitted a $4,000 life insurance
policy to lapse.
Widow Is Frustrated
Mrs. Schwartz, Frustrated by the
revelation that the man she had
identified as her husband, was i'll
stead his victim, was Frustrated
today and has not yet seen the body
of the suicide.
Her attorney said that the in
surance would be investigated and
If any of it were legally due her,
action would be taken to secure it.
He admitted the likelihood that
suicide clauses would void the
greater portion of it,
Schwartz, police revealed today,
had apparently been preparing for
the gigantic insurance hoax crime
for two years. He had posed under
another name for that period, and
hid in the assumed name. They
also found he had purchased a rail-
road ticket to a point near the
Mexican border and had maps of
Mexico and Central America in his
possession.
Lied In Death.
Schwartz suicided when trapped
by police Sunday in an Oakland
hotel apartment where he had
been in hiding since July 30. He
told the proprietor who knew him
under the name of Warren. he
