Attired immaculately in evening dress and wearing the smile that always assures law-abiding citizen or criminal alike of a square deal, Chief Vickers, of the city police force, attended the Wanderers’ Club dance last night and laid himself out for a good time. But chiefs of police like other toilers for the public good are liable to have their good times rudly dis- turbed by the stern call of duty, and so it was with ‘‘Billy’’ Vickers last night. Right in the middle of a two- step came an urgent call for the chief of police. Report said that there was a man threatening mis- chief with a revolver on Centre street of- Sixth. With never a symptom of disturbance the chief stepped quietly out to the scene. In a moment or two he returned quite unruffled and with never a blemish on_his. irradiant ‘‘boiled The trouble was laid—the gun-brandisher had been awed into better behavior—and Chief Vickers could enjoy the dance in peace.

Law—Buck At- tacked Him and Threw Him in Lake—Man and Beast Fought Together in the Water Revelstoke, Oct. 25.—Sheriff W. J. Law has returned from a trip the Arrow Lakes with an exciting story of a hand to hand fight he had with a big buck deer. Mr. Law was sitting on a rock fishing, early in the morning when all of a sudden a. big buck deer sprang from the bush which was in close proximity to the water, and charged the sheriff, knocking him into the icy water. On rising to his feet again the sheriff found the anima] coming at him again with both front feet in the air and striking. for his breast. With considerable presence of mind Mr. to Law threw his hands in front of} him and giving them an outward sweep separated the limbs of the| deer, which came down over both wrists and severely skinned them. By this action man and deer were in close embrace and both in the water. The sheriff then realizing that something must be done as the animal was apparently desperate, grappled with him and succeeded in holding the animal’s head under water for some time. The chilling effect of the water, however, on the sheriff, who has been ill for some time, and the terrific struggle which he had | with the animal, had considerably fatigued him and he decided that it was best to let the deer go , before he could drag him out into |deep water or get the best of (him in his death struggle. This jhe did and much to his surprise the animal ran back into the bush. W. H. Wark arrived from the south this morning by the Prince Rupert. _ Cold nights—warm blankets—all kinds. —Wallace’s. 2t MRS.
