PUBLISHED THREE TX3 Bfae Friata Made tf-Jhuy Pacific CnC Dieras By Tiea. FORI? ?SE SKETdED Seerat Service Men Captured and Foreign Experts Have Been Caught Working in Many Disguises, But Country Em No Law Whereby They ,Cau Be Punished. Aptounding revelations of the ex tent of the military spy system as . practiced a&ainst the United States government are made in a report presented to Congress recently by the House committee on Judiciary. More than a score of instances in which spies are known to have been engaged in collecting the military secrets of the United States are cited. Plans of insular fortifications have apparently beep spread about as freely sis. hand, bills. Officers of foreign nations, disguised as wait ers in restaurants, have been caught in the act of delving into the secrets ' of our national defenses. A package of blue prints contain ing the schemes of defenses for Cor regidor island, in the Philippines, was picked up in the streets of Cal cutta. Spies have swarmed in Pa cific coast ports and without moles tation, for there was no law govern ing the case, have mapped and chart ed every bay and inlet, fort and for tification along the Pacific coast. Members of the House read the report with amazement. Inasmuch as the facts in the report were gleaned from secret records of the Government and confidential police \ reports from various large cities, no names were mentioned, nor were the nationalities of the spies who have been detected disclosed. The report came In' connection with a favorable recommendation Tor the passage of the Hobson bill, providing for the arrest and impris onment of ail -persons caught in the act of spying. The bill carries a pen alty of a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than ] one year, or both, for any unatithor . ized person who makes maps, sketches or photographs of anything connected, with the -national de fenses. The report in part says: "A gentleman in the city of Cal-j cutta picked up on the streets of that j city a small package of blue prints j containing information with refer- j ence to the defenses of Corregidor Island. Recognizing tbeir character ' he delivered them to the American j consul at Calcutta, who forwarded them through the State department, In Washington. Significance is at tached to the fact that these were blue prints. The whereabouts of. the original tracings is still unknown. These blue prints contained a com plete set of drawings of the defense of Corregidor island, which is the , main stronghold of the United States In the Philippines. "In 1907 and 1908 a number of reports were received, to the effect that foreigners were very active in manning the Pacific coast and the harbors in the vicinity of Puget sound and the mouth of the Colum-I hia river, making sketches of ihej fortifications and seeking in the most open manner to secure and -record 1 military information bearing upon j the defenses of that locality. "In one instance, report was to. the effect that a certain officer, a; lieutenant in the engineer corps of a | foreign service, was serving in the capacity of a waiter at the Commer cial hotel at Seattle. "In January, 1907, thb police de partment of Los Angeles, Cat., re ported that.a foreigner was rcti"ely| engaged in copying recrods fr'un the j land office "n the city. "In 1907 also the American am bassador at a foreign capital notiuea the State department that a certain captain belonging to the army of the country, to which our ambassador had been accredited, had been de tailed to secretly visit the American countries and spend three years there ascertaining strength of their troops, arms, fortifications, etc. "In-January, 190S, the police .de partment of the city of New York reported that military maps and in formation of a military character had been 'ound in a trunk belonging to an American whom they had reasj on to believe was In the employ of a foreign government. "In Manila in April, 1910. an en listed man of the United States En gineering corps was approached by two officers of a foreign nation, which it is unnecessary to name. He was sounded thoroughly, and then a flat offer of $25,000 was made to him for complete detailed drawings and photographs of the de fenses on Corregidor island. The prize was too big to resists and an agreement was reached. "As the official photographer for the department, the engineer had no trouble in getting his material. No one suspected him as he went along taking photographs of the in terior works at Corregidor. When he had everything he met the for eigners in an office building. He spread out his documents and with eyes asparkle they pronounced the results splendid. They had a gen eral knowledge of the works an d did not hesitate to show it.

Blease in the latter'a message to the legislature regarding the commission j of winding up the State dispensary. | He said ihat upon learning that the legislature wo ild Investigate the charges he inade no effort to com- J municate with tae governor. Mr. I Evans entered a general denial of the insinuations in the following statement: "As soon as I saw the matter m The Herald I immediately went t j Columbia. I found that the legisla ture had appointed a committee to make an immediate Investigation of the allegations in the governor's message,. It wjll be reported at the/j present session. "I dod not care to make .aiy de-j tailed statement until that commit tee meets, when the governor will be called upon to present his in^jnnt tion.

"I have not seen, one of those whose name is mentioned in con nection with mine in four years until a wepk ago in Columbia." In'his message Gov. Blease asked: "What was the agreement bad with ex-Gov. John Gary Evans' and ex State Chairman H H. Evans for in formation given by them at a con ference held is. Atlanta between these gentlemen. Attorney General Lyon and Attorney. General?" * WANTS HIS PLACE. Commissioner Watson To Be Remov ed by Gov. Blease. Several days ago John G. Rich ards, Jr., a member of the railroad commission, ca'lledvat the office of Gov. Blease to pay his respects, ac cording to Gov. Blease. Just before Mr. Richards left the office.Gov. Blease saijd that he was sorry that Mr. Richards had accepted the appointment as railroad com missioner as h .- had a better job in view- for him. [ Mr. Richards asked Gov. Blease What might be the nature of the place. Gov. Blease replied that he had Intended to appoint him as com missioner of agriculture, commerce and industries to take the place of E. J. Watson. Following this incident there were rumors that Gov. Blease intended to have a general shaking up in the department of agriculture and that John G. Richards, Jr., A. D. Hudson or E. H. Aull would be appointed to succeed Commissioner Watson. ? Sunday Gov. Blease was asked if he intended to dismiss Commissioner Watson. He said that he had not stated that he would do so. Mr. Watson's term of o?ice expires in 1912. He was again asked if he in tended to dismiss Mr. Watson. In answer he related the above Incident of his desire that Mr. Richards be come the commissioner of agricul ture, commerce and industries. . The department of agriculture was built up by Commisisoner Watson, who was appointed under Gov. Hey ward. The department is considered one of the most efficient in the United States. Commissioner Watson was appointed by Gov. Heyward and lat er reappointed by Gov. Ansel. Rnns Very Past. Wonderful speed has been ob tained at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., by an aero ice craft. On is first try-out on the river the boat, driven by ae roplane steel\propellers, attained a speed of more than 60 miles an hour. The men who constructed it were bewildered, having no idea it would travel so fast. Lost One Leg. The State says W. H. Appelt of Batesburg who was injured In a wreck on the Southern railway, near Wagner, several days ago, had his right leg amputated Friday night at the Knowlton infirmary. He passed through the operation successfully, and will recover, according to a ment by physicians. * English, 'but we did not bring the $25,000 here. Tonight at 9 o'clock you will meet another agent of the governmen' and a place on the out skirts of the town was named, where you deliver to him the photographs and plans and he will pay over the money.' "These words had scarcely been uttered when the door of the room flew open and four soldiers rushed in and arrested all three. Two weeks before the engineer had re pented and told the plot to his su periors. The attorney general of the Philippines undertook a prosecution, but habeas corpus proceedings were brought and the foreigners went scotc-free because there was no law under which they could be prose cuted." ? OBANGEB?BG, S | FUNDS LEFT INTACT THE HOUSE REFUSES TO CUR TAIL CLEMSON'S j INCOME. Measure to Limit College's Share of Revenue From Tng Tax Killed by Vote of 73 to 24. - In the Houie Friday Mr. Mitchum made a long and hard fight to limit tbo income'of C!?mson College from I the privilege taix; ? Mr. Cary, of Oconee, opposed any I Interference with the resources of j Clemson College. He criticised the i report of the legislative committee I that investigated the State colleges. Mr. Mitchum insisted that Clem son was spending too much money. . 'Mr. Cary said Clemson was not standing still and needed money for extensions and growth. If Clemson is to stand still then they need no more than $175,000, but they should be allowed to grow. There were things at Clemson he did not like, but this bill would do no good. Let things alone. Mr. Ashley said he was against i Clemson getting so much money, but jhe visited Clemson and had his eyes j opened and was in favor of Clemsoij j getting all this money. If anything is to be done let the tax be reduced, i but he urged that Clemson be . left entirely alone. He wanted Clemson I left alone this year. Mr. McKeown, of Chester, said ! something of this kind came up ev j ery year. He, too, thought it unfor itunate that the legislative report j should come in today and he, too, criticised the composition of the committee?all lawyers. There was no use to talk about crippling Clem son, and he" agreed with 'Mr. Ashley that if the tax were too high let the tax be reduced. Mr. Ayer wanted to know if Clem son were a State institution or not. and whether the tax is constitution al. Clemson ought to be supported as others ire by direct appropriation. He suggested that all bills on the privilege tax be taken up together. This was denied. Mr. McCravey knew the good Clemson was doing. He feared Mr. Mitchum had not'gone Into the leg3l phase of the question. There iB no use to bother this privilege tax. He fonnd that those who wanted to have such bills had blood in their eyes for Clemson. Mr. Vander Horst spoke for the legislative investigating committee. He explained that the delay in sub mitting the report was purely un avoidable, and as everyone knew, without intention to inflaence any one. The fact that he and others were lawyers was a fact and hardly worth discussing, but he would like to argue any question or point made in the report. On a yea and nay vote the bill to limit the income of Clemson from the privilege tax to $175,000 was killed by a vote of 73 to 24. ? MAKES A CHANGE. The Confederate Home Has New Su perintendent. The Confederate Infirmary com mission, meeting Friday in the Su premo Court room at Columbia, elected F. M.

This was the first meeting of tbe new commission appointed several .lays ago. The organization meeting was held with Col. R. A. Thompson, .of Walhalla, acting as chairman. H. sV.

With one burglar, armed with a shotgun, holding the town's guar dians at bay,, several robbers looted Lake Park, Ga., early Saturday morning and escaped. As soon as the burglars came from the stores the watching officers opened fire, which was returned. None of the officers were hurt and all the rob bers got away. Thursday night the same gang robbed several houses at Jennings, Fla., and were tracked to Lake Park. Dies of Grief. Broken-hearted at the death sen tence passed upon her son, Mrs. v\. H. Walker, 72 years of age, dropped dead at the residence of Mrs. J. B. Murray, at Macon, Ga., Friday. Her son is Wm. Walker, sentenced last week to be hanged for having burned his wife to death. Walker was tak-j en from the jail and allowed to view the body of his mother. He was overcome by grief. * I Fell From Wagon.

His team became frightened at : something on the road and threw ; him out of the wagon, breaking his ! neck. Funeral services were held .here Monday. j. C, TUESDAY. JANTJA] Farmer Canmnder-ia-Chief ai Pacific Fleet Asked |a Resign. STRICKEN FROM ROLL Request for Resignation Made by Secretary of Navy by Order of, President, Following Report o* Barry's Scandalous Conduct From Captain of His Flagship. By direction of the president, Rear Admiral W. B. Barry, former commander in chief of the Pacific fleet, today submitted his resignation "for the good of the service." It was immediately accepted. The en forced resignation is the outgrowth of charges which have been in cir culation affecting the moral charac ter of the naval officer. George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, today announced that on instructions from the president he celegrahped last night to Admiral Barry asking that he submit his res ignation. The resignation severing the officer's .connection with the American navy after 45 years of ac tive service was received today and his name was at once stricken from the list of naval officers. This act laturally terminated his salary from ?he government. In response to a telegraphic re quest, Admiral Berry was placed on the retired list of the navy on Jan uary 14, several months in advance of the date on which he would have retired by operation of law. His right to seek voluntary retirement was his privilege, the law permitting mch action after 40 "years' active service. ? The secretary of the navy took up the request. with the president and it was promptly approved. Later, however, reports began to emanate from San Francisco to the effect "that Admiral Barry's retire ment was forced by a demand that he resign on account of alleged scan dalous conduct. It was added that the officers of the cruiser West Vir ginia, Admiral Barry's flagship, were not satisfied with retirement but in sisted upon his resignation. The secretary of the navy took cognizance of the^;reports and called upon C?pt. '?rcharcl for* a report. Capt. Orchard's report was received several days ago when it wa3 sub mitted to <"he president and the en forced resignation of the officer fol lowed Rear Admiral Barry was born in New York City and was graduated from the United States naval acad emy in the class of 1869 He has crushed In all parts of the world, his ?ea service covering a period of over 27 years, and has held many impor tant assignments During the Span ish war he took part in the blockade of Habana, the attack on Mantanzas and in seai'ch for the Spanish fleet In Bahama channel He participated In the negotiations with Gen. Maceo. He commanded the gunboat Vicks burg in the capture of Agulnaldo. In May, 1909, soon after his promo tion to the grade of rear admiral, he assumed command of the second di vision of the Pacific fleet and several months later was placed In supreme command of the entire fleet. . '* SLAI1V BY THE REBELS. Details of the Massacre of the Mex ican Regulars. One hundred and fifteen Mexican soldiers were caught in a trap and massacred by the insurrectos a few days ago. The massacre took place near Cuchillo. The correspondent with the Insurgent forces inter viewed several captured government soldiers, and all of them give prac tically the same account of their losses. Jose de La Cruz Sanchez and Torileio Orega, Mexican ranch owners, commanded the insurgents. All the Federal soldiers under Col. Dorante, numbering nearly 400 men; probably would have been massacred had not the insurrectos exhausted J their ammunition. The soldiers vere entrapped In the mountains and for nearly three days were under the fire of the insurrec tos. The insurgents captured thir ty-two Mauser carbines and nineteen wounded men. Twenty horses be longing to the revolutionists were left in a canyon three miles from the battle ground, and in their retreat the Federal soldiers confiscated them. The government troops re treated in disorder to Coyama and entrenched themselves. * Killed by Automobile. Believed to be the victim of an automobile accident, the body of a man with both legs broken and the head badly crushed waa found propped in a sitting position under a trestle at Dallas, Texas. The po lice believe the body was hidden by occupants of an automobile which killed him. In the dead man's pock et was found a bricklayers' union card, bearing the name of Ed. Alli son, of Fort Worth, Tex. Yield of a Tree. J. M. Hlldreth, of Robertson county, Ky., recently cut down a red oak tree on his farm from which he made 1,200 feet of fine lumber, sev eral cords of firewood," took 50 pounds of wild honey and a fat coon. IY 31. 1911. IM ARE AT OUTS JIM TILXiMAN THINKS HIS UNCLE SHOWS INGRATITUDE. Exchanging Compliments of the States Senator, Nephevr and Uncle, Exchanging Complimneta . The Spartanburg Journal says that when Col. James H. Tillmaa, who la ill In Asheville, saw the otate ment to the ecect that he wag dying in a lonely cottage, poverty stricken and' friendless he replied through the press that this was a mistake. And when Senator Benjamin R. Till man was isked about this statement he replied, as stated in the Journal Saturday afternoon. He is reaping what he has sown. Nemesis is dog ging his footsteps and will dog them to the grave." On learning that the Senator had made this remark about him, James TUlman called his sister, Mrs. Geo. X. Bunch, of this city over long dis tance phone and said to her: "Sen ator Tlllman can go to hades. He has not yet reaped what he has sown and when he does, it will be much bitter than that which James H. Tlll man is reaping. He thinks that he is fooling his Jesus but he is not." Mrs. Bunch in an interview witb a reporter for the Journal said: "It is a poor kind of gratitude that Sen ator Tillman is showing but we are not asking for anything. He seems to have forgotten that James TUl man is his own nephew and that Col. George Tlllman, father of James Tillman, an dmy father, and an older brother of Senator Tlllman was more like a father to him than a brother. Why he assisted him in an educa tional manner and helped him finan cially and politically. He borrowed i money from him when he made the rnrr from him nrbrn. Im in uln Hit' race for the governorship of South Carolina. "If this branch of the Tjllman family was as anxious for publicity and wanted to get in the limelight as much as Senator Tillman does, some sartling revelations might be made public. Things of which the publjc has never dreamed of. "James Tillman does not need any money from Senator Tillman nor has he asked anything of the Sen ator. Futhermore he will not ask anything of Senator Tlllman. It was on account of Ben Tillman that James Tillman first got into his trou ble and he was being used as a tool by Ben when his downfall in the po litical world started. James was fol lowing the advice of Senator Tillman and was not heeding the advice of his own father. Yes, ,it is ,hard to believe that this is the kind of grat itude that is being shown for it and it seems hard to believe that Ben Tlllman would say: "He Is reaping what he has sown." . "I have just returned from Ashe vllle," continued James Tlllman's sister," where I have been some time with my brother. His health Is fine. I have never seen more marked im provement in any man. Why, when he was carried there it was on a stretcher and the man was scarcely able to lift his head. It was neces sary to get him out of the. train on the stretcher and his condition was grave. Now he is able to sit up on the porch and eat many things. He was well enough to phone to me Saturday night. And it will be seen that his health must be pretty good, as a sick man could not write a re ply to a published statement as James did. He has everything he wants, in cluding the services of Dr. Carl Reynolds, one of the best physicians in Asheville and a trained nurse. It is true that we changed nursese but it was because the previous one was too meddlesome and it is said, that she wrote to Senator Tillman for money. If she did it was without the knowledge of James or myself. She perhaps was trying to ob'-\in other money from the senator to use for herself. Since she left we have learned how this same nurse was discharged from a hospital in Bal timore for meddling in some of her patients' private business. "James lives in a nice little cot tage which Is very comfortable. He i has more fruits and other delicacies than his physicians will allow him to eat. The statement that he is friend-! less and dying In poverty is the most i absurd thing that I have heard in all ray life." Mrs. Bunch continued: "The first statement that we saw appeared in J an afternoon paper in Asheville. 11 was on the point of leaving and had already boarded a train when James sent a message to the station asking j me to come back for another day. ?The shock at seeing lies in print made him worse for the time and the excitement that it brought on did him no good. I stayer" several days longer with him in Asheville and I will go back to him at any time I can be of service to him or can help him in any manner." * Buys a Paper. Geo. R. Koester, who founded and conducted the Daily Record, the Co lumbia afternoon paper, until two vears ago, when he sold It to Jarnos A. Hoyt, purchased Friday afternoon the Daily Piedmont, the Greenville afternoon paper. ? Outlaws Cigarettes. ?The State Senate yesterday passed a bill making it unlawful to sell or give cigarettes or cigarette paper to any man, woman or child in the State of Nevada. ? TOLL OF TUE SEA MARINE DISASTERS WILL TOTAL OVER $30,000.000. The Pondering of Three Vesael?r?the Perciless, the Waratah and the Kurdiatajfr. The year 1110 will rank aa on* of the blackest la the history of Lloyds, blacker even than 1909, which was one of the worst since the inception of the great maritime institution. I The tale of sea disasters makes sad reading. The casualties both to life and property have been numerous? jso numerous that ever experts are disinclined to calculate the actual financial loss Involved. I But a close perusal of the list brings out the astonishing fact that the more prominent losses of the year alone account for no less a sum than $15,000,000. The minor cas ualties, however, make up in number what they lack in financial impor tance, with the result that they swell the total approximately to $30,000, 000. This figure, huge as it is, by no means represents the actual loss of the year to the skipping world. Many vessels there are which go to sea whose owners have not safe guarded their Interests by insurance and the loss of which, If taken into consideration, would add consider able to the aggregate. According to one member of the Lloyds the claims settled on the hulls of steamers during the last few months have been quite unprecedent ed. Added to this is the fact that during this year the.cost of repairs to damaged vessels is infinitely greater than has ever yet been known to be the case. The reason ascribed is the increased cost of labor and materials, caused chiefly by the un rest in the labor world. The biggest loss of the year was undoubtedly the Aberdeen liner Peri cles, which sank after striking a sunken, reaf off the coast of Aus tralia. The vessel carried a valuable cargo, which, with the hull, was valued at over $3,250,000. Next in importance came' the ill fated Lund liner Waratah, the claims on which, amounting to about $1,500,000, were not settled until this year. The steamer Kurdistan, which foundered while bound from Manchester to the Persian gulf, also accounted for no less than $1,500, 000. - * BLEASE IS RIGHT. One of His Messages Hits the Nail on the Head. The Columbia correspondent |of the Charleston Post says Gov. Blease's last message will meet the approval of everybody who knows anything about the conditions at the State House, which are about as un satisfactory as they could be, and are urged by sanitary authorities to be unsanitary in the extreme. The Gen eral Assembly has been very stingy In the matter of appropriations for the State House, giving the most meager sums for the care of the house and grounds. Large sums have been appropriat ed to buy furniture for the leglsla ti* halls and for carpets and other I m. .oellany, but an appropriation for the building or grounds would throw the legislators into fits. Far be It from any one to suggest that the appropriations for the furniture might have been encouraged by the fact that the members also agreed to sell to themselves the old furni ture at prices that set the teeth of the dealers In second-band stuff on edge. It is very funny to note the fact that some of those men in the House nity of the State was suffering from the shabblness of the desks and chairs, and that no man could reas onably be asked by the State to sit j at a desk and in a chair desecrated by the negro occupancy some years ago. have those same desks and chairs in their parlors and bed rooms and offices today, having bought them for $3 and the new ones cost about $25. Dread Black Smallpox. Almost an entire ward in Philadel- \ phla has been placed under quarau-j tine as the result of the death otT'l four-year-old James Daley from what | physicians declared was black small pox. A bout a dozen persons have been placed in a pest house, and over 3,000 In the immediate district have been vaccinated. Pair of Them.

PRETTY AND RICH GIRL Family Convinced She Hal No Love> Affair and That She Is Alive?Ev erything That Honey Can Do and Brains Suggest Hare Been Done in Hunt. Seven weeks ago last Monday Dorr othy H. C. Arnold, the beautiful daughter of Francis R. 'Aruoid, a. millionaire importer of perfumes in New York, and a niece of the late Rufus H. Peckham, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, bought a novel at Brontano's, In Fifth avenue, that city. From that moment no .aews of her has reached her family. She disap peared as completely as though the earth had swallowed her, and though both the Pinkertons and the Central Office detectives have searched for her everywhere no trace has been found. Miss Arnold's aged parents, her' two brothers and her sister, are heartbroken over the mystery. They have assured themselves in the most positive way that no romance at taches to the vanishing of Dorothy, and they and those whom they have . consulted fear that gome tragic crime lies behind the disappearance of the girl. iFor six weeks Mr. Arnold, who la seventy-three years;old, refused to allow a general alarm-to be sent out for his daughter. He toped against hope that she would announce her self to him in some way, and he told his advisers that his riches were at their helping if they would find her without the publicity which, he feared, might lead to napleasant no toriety for the family. But Deputy Police Commissioner Flynn and former Assistant District Attorney Francis P. Garvan,, Mr. Arnold's counsel, persuaded the aged father that .the only remaining hope lay in the publication of the story at her disappearance. They also urged the reproduction broadcast of her photograph. Mr. Arnold was brought around with difficulty.. With tears in His' eyes, he begged Mr. Garvan-to think , of some other way than publicity. Money, he assured his counsel, meant nothing. He would willingly spend all he possessed in finding his child, he said. . (Mr. Arnold Is so heartbroken over the mystery that he has been unable to attend to his business since the day she left home. Mrs. Arnold, who was a Miss Samuel, is bowed with grief, for she was the last of the family to see Dorothy and speak with her. It was around 11:30 on the morn ing of Dec. 12 that Miss Arnold left her home, No. 108 East Seventy ninth street. She told her mother she was going down-town to pick out an evening gown for the approach ing holiday festivities. "Til go with you," said Mrs. Ar nold, but her daughter, kissing Mrs. Arnold softly, answered: "No, mother, don't bother. If I see anything I really think I want to get I'll telephone you, and you can come down and look It over. , But you don't feel just right, and it's no use going to the trouble of coming with me. I mightn't see a thing I want to wear." With another kiss they parted and from that moment Mrs. Arnold has never seen her child. When Dor othy did not appear home for din ner the family became alarmed, for though she was twenty-five years old and a college graduate she had never absented herself from home for a single meal without letting her mother, who is somewhat 6f an in valid, know just where she was go ing to be, when she would be home and why she wished to stay out. John R. Arnold, a brother, ar rived from Europe Saturday. He knew nothing but the bare fact that his sister was missing, and inquired eagerly for details. It came out through counsel for t':.". family this afternoon, that Mr... Arnold had broken down under the strain and Is being kept in seclusion with friends out of town. Circulars reproducing three of Miss Arnold's latest photographs, and giving a minute description of her appearance, were mailed to ev ery police, town marshal and de tective agency in the United States and Canada, with the offer of a re ward of $1.000 for Information lead ing to her recovery. * Firm Loses Suit. In the case of the Hamilton Manu facturing Company, of New York, igalnst R. L. and William Ly'orand, doing business at Swansea, under the firm name of R. L. Lybrand & Co., In United States Court at Columbia Wednesday, a verdict of $3,825 was rendered In favor of the plaintiff. The amount sued for in two actions was $5,700. Cotton transactions, on de livery were the basis of the action. ? Died to Save a Deer. Efforts to save a wounded deer? which was floating down Swift.river* near Ware, Mass., cost Stanislaus Donlan, of that place, his life. The ice gave way under him and he was. drowned.
