It would have fared badly for Crowley, for the buffalo was coming at
full speed, with head lowered when the dog interfered and attacked the
animal. Crowley then saw his danger and escaped before the buffalo could
get free from the dog, and in a few minutes more the dog, knowing that
danger to his master was past, came racing to safety out of the pen.
Sings as Convicts Weep.
Mrs. Mary Greer McLane, daughter of Bishop Greer, of New York, sang
Easter hymns recently for the prisoners in Sing Sing prison. With her
sister and father she entered the chapel of the prison, where every
bench was filled. Her audience listened in absolute silence. When she
had finished, more than one gray sleeve was used as a handkerchief.
Bishop Greer conducted the Episcopal services, and Mgr. Evers, of New
York, and Father Cashin the Roman Catholic services.
His First Ride Proves Fatal.
Upon the very first ride on the motor cycle for which he had been saving
for years, Samuel Leechman, twenty-six years old, a salesman, of New
York, was killed before he had gone fourteen blocks.
On Central Park West he swerved at Seventy-ninth Street to avoid a
passenger from a trolley car. The wheels skidded and Leechman was
thrown. The police could get no ambulance for half an hour, and then
Leechman was dead.
Friends say motor cycling had always been Leechman’s hobby, but he had
not been able to purchase one until the day of his death.

body.
Cupid Calls Mayor to Aid of Pastor.
Backed up with a letter of commendation from the Bishop of Ontaria and
kind words from other persons of prominence, a clergyman of the Church
of England, from Barrie, Canada, has asked Mayor Mitchel, of New York
City, to find him a wife.
When the mayor replied he had no means of obtaining wives, but would be
glad to publish his letter, the minister sent the following:
“DEAR SIR: This is to thank you for kindly acceding to my request to aid
me in finding a wife, and you may publish my want. I desire a well-bred,
cultured woman, healthy, cheerful, preferably not over thirty years of
age. For publication let me repeat that I am an Episcopalian minister,
graduate of a leading university, healthy, vigorous, bright, artistic,
practical, affectionate, and very devoted where deserved.
“I send you credentials that will enable you to attest my position and
social standing.
“Of course, all communications will be honorably treated by me as
strictly confidential.”
In his letter, which was enclosed, the bishop wrote:
“He is in good health, very active, full of pluck and energy. He could
be designated as a manly man. He is about thirty years old, and has no
ties.”
