The young man probably would have been gored to death, but for the fact that the maddened animal had only stub horns, they having been cut about three years ago. Mr. Ridout is able to be about to day, although badly bruised about the body. He says the most serious hurt appears to be about the left side and he has planned to go to Emergency Hospital today for a thorough exami nation. Discussing his experience this morning, Mr. Ridout said the bull, which is a Jersey, 5 years old, had been regarded as rather tame. The animal suddenly became mad dened as Mr. Ridout went into the stable, hit him with great force and knocked him down. Mr. Ridout says he managed to scramble to his feet, only to be knocked down again. Six times he was thus knocked down in his efforts to subdue the infuriated animal. Finally, he says, he swung to the ring in its nose, and in this manner got control of him. Mr. Rid out was almost exhausted after his fight with the animal. WEST ANNAPOLIS M. E.

TECHNiLSor Will CAUSE COUNTY TO SEEE BONDS AGAIN Because of an error in the adver tising of the issue of $400,000 of Anne Arundel county bonds, purchase of which was made by the firm of Alexander Brown and Sons, of Balti more, the Board of County Commis sioners will be called upon to re-ad vert ise the sale, and provision for this probably will be made at the weekly meeting of those officials here tomor row-. The law authorizing the bond issue directed that the sale should be pub lished twice a week for four weeks in a newspaper published in Annapolis and one newspaper published in Bal timore city. The advertisement ap peared in the Evening Capital the requisite number of times but through an inadvertence, it was only published in the Baltimore Sun six times, Instead of eight. Brown and Sons, through their attorneys, have declined to ac cept the bonds because of this techni cality, and have so notified the Board of Commissioners. Marriage Licenses SMITH - HOWARD Charles W.

The Second won in over whelming fashion from the Fourth, while the First had a somewhat less decisive victory over the Third. Midshipman William G. Allen, of the Second Battalion, did some very brilliant work in the 125-pound class against K. P. Howard, of the Fourth, and it is believed that he will prove one of the Navy’s best boxers at the weight. E. G. Collins, First, and C. L. Livdahl, Third, had a particularly hard battle in the 115-pound class, the former winning through superior cleverness. A big surprise was the defeat of J. W. Brown, captain of the First Bat- IConllniinl On 4.) ODD FELLOWS DOWNED IN THRILLING BATTLE Fourth Game Of “Twilight Base ball League” Captured By Marines FINAL COUNT WAS 5 TO 4 History again was brought to the ' minds of baseball fans yesterday in the game between the Odd Fellows and Marines in the second round of games in the ‘'Twilight League.” The Marines by some slow fielding and a comedy of errors had scored three runs in the first inning only to be tied up by the Odd Fellows in the second and sixth. After the first inning Moody, for !the Odd Fellows, was invincible. When about the eighth inning “Sam” Freeny. who was helping Davidson ■ ville win, heard the rumbling of the Odd Fellows’ cannon, and like Sheri i dan. came racing to St. Johh's Col lege to stem the tide. One look at the score book showed “Sam” that he was wanted in the game, so he im mediately took up the harden of cen tre pasture, in the eighth inning and came through with a hit which start , ed a rally for the Marines and gave . them two runs in the ninth. In the , Odd Fellows’ half McKee got a hit, , stole second and was brought home by Curlott on a nice drive to right cen . ter but was thrown out at second on a close decision, ending the game and (Coßtlaned O* Page S.) HYOROPUNE TAKES PLUNGE IH SEVERS ' Mystery Surrounds Identity Of i Occupants Of Craft Who Were Unhurt { A hydroplane, the names of the oc cupants of which seem clothed in mj story, came to griel in the waters near Sherwood Forest, upper Severn river yesterday afternoon. No one was hurt, but loth wings of the craft were Ladly damaged. The flying Loat came here from Bal timore, and is said to have been pilot ed by Charles J. Boylan, 2813 Hamp den avenue, that city, who had with him a mechanician, James Stewart, also of that city. Another report was that the craft also contained its own er. a Mr. Walter, an ex-service avia tor, who owns it. At any rate, the men in the aircraft, were in their lathing suits, and while flying up the river, they noted a large number of persons in bathing at Sherwood For est, and volplaned and finally came down on the water near the wharf at the resort. It is said their intention was to take persons on a flight at a stipu lated price per capita, and had sought permission of the management of the resort to do so. While one of the men went on this mission, the other, it is said, did take one person for a short flight. Finally, as the two men were flying together, they "banked’’ the craft When about to make a turn and one of the wings tipped, causing tne machine to take a nose dive. The plane was only a few feet above the water at the time of the accident. The damaged craft was towed into Brewer’s creek by two launches. Further inqu*ry was made of resi dents of Sherwood Forest tod&v about the accident, but nothing could be learned as to the identity of the aviators. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES HERE WANT EXTENSION OE WORKING DAY LIMIT Believing that they should be able to compete on a fairer basis in point of working days, with mechanics en gaged In general Industrial pursuit, government employees here are mak ing an effort to have the Navy De partment modify its order of nearly # a year ago whereby they will be per mitted to work 5% days a week, in stead of 5, as is the present order. In view of this a meeting of the Associated Government Employees of Annapolis, composed of workmen at the Naval Academy and the Naval Ex periment Station, has been called for tonight at 8 o’clock in the hall of the Odd Fellows lodge on West street. The issue will te discussed from •every angle, and it is not unlikely that definite action byway of draft ing a petition, will be taken. The government workers point to the hardship that devolves upon them because of the “5 day a week plan." which means a consequent reduction of weekly pay. and feel that the pow ' ers that be might loosen up a bit, now that business appears to be boom ing. Cutting down the number of work days for the government men was one of the steps in line with re trenchment of expenses. • MRS.
