TABOGA BAYS SHARK.
Ii Has Eaten Various People and
Is Not Regarded as a Pet.

A very large and ancient-looklng shark
has been swimming about Taboga Bay
recently. 1t is known to the islanders
and generally down the bay by it's
marks, and by those who know it is
called the "Somberera," owing to its
having seized and eaten a man off Anton
some years ago under peculiar circum-
stances. 1t appears a schooner was
sailing slowly along off Anton Point
when the hat of one of the crew
was blown overheard. The man jumped
into the sea to regain his hat,
when he was seized by this shark, which
promptly dived with it's prey. Subse-
quently, off the Moro Island, the same
animal was seen to seize the brother of
Rev. Salinas, of Taboga, while he was
bathing, and to carry him urder. No
further traces of this second victim were
ever seen. The same shark is credited
by the bay sailors with other deaths, but
the instances mentioned are vouched for
by many. The natives, who claim to
recognize it as an annual visitor, speak
of these incidents as matter of island
history, dating from the period when the
factory of the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company was at Moro, and when the
animal first acquired notoriety by eating
an Englishman who attempted to swim
from vessel then at anchor to another
All the fishermen have peculiar, and
it appears well-founded terror OF this
animal, and none will dive in the vicin.
ity Of its haunt, although the water is moi
over five feet in depth. In connection
| with this carniverous monster the old in.
habitants of Taboga relate legend, and
in which they appear to have perfect
faith, which is worth recounting. Thes
believe that below the spot where he SO
constantly swims when on his periodical
visit to Taboga there lies valuable coral
bed, and that when in that vicinity the
shark believes it to be its peculiar
duty to keep constant and careful guard
over that treasure. One thing in connec-
tion with this peculiar legend is, how
ever certain, and that is that none Of the
bay divers-and they are all good men,
as they have proved when pearl fishing
will attempt to dive in that vicinity, and
you cannot persuade any of the island
ers, addicted as they are to the water, to
bathe in that place. This animal, we
are informed, is of the shark species,
and not marine-monster OF the flat
headed type, such as was the last big one
caught there some few years ago by an
Italian man-of-war which was then at
anchor off that island.-[Panama Star
and Herald.
The above is not "fsh" story. A
writer on the HERALD who was in Panama
for several months in 1873 saw this man.
eater on one Of his periodical visits. He
was swimming about vessel and was
under full observation for fully hall an
hour. He is vicious looking fellow and
at least fourteen feet in length. His back
is SCARED with cicatrices from harpoon
thrusts. Although he has been frequently
and desperately wounded with these
weapons he has always escaped capture
or death. In 1873 the Captains OF the
Pacific Mail said that the monster had
then been known to them for fourteen
years.

ROSAMOND LETTER.
Bright Prospects for a Grain Crop.
Increased Acreage Put In.

Bright Prospects for a Grain Crop.
Increased Acreage Put In.
EDITORS HERALD-Our section of the
country has been immensely benefited
by the late rains and the land along the
southern slope of the Tehachepi Range
is now iu excellent condition for plowing.
Bayles Bros. have cleared some forty
acres of the townsite Of Rosamond and
are now sowing it to grain. They are
also clearing and plowing large
acreage for non-residents and sowing it
to grain alfalfa and tree seed.
They have cleared several ten, twenty
and thirty y-acre pieces and have planted
grain to insure hay crop for their ami
mails the coming season. Messrs. Sutton,
Moore, Shrader, Hooper, Werth, Bean
and others are putting in two acres this
year where they had one last year, be-
side the numerous newcomers who are
putting in their first or virgin crop on
new land. Washburn, Witch, Can
noll, Adair, Smith and Eaton are
continuing to take advantage of the ia
vorable season, and will get in from ten
to one hundred acres each in grain this
pear and corresponding acreage OF trees
and vines.
Messrs. Schmidt, Lacour and Deste are
cultivating portion of their land on Sec
hon "a, township north, range IA west,
with view to test the quality of the
soil for wine grapes.
Mr.. Carroll, lately from st. Louis, has
purchased quarter section of land on
the delta Of Cottonwood Creek, and will
develop it in good shape the coming
season.
Several colored men, lately from the
Southern States, have secured lands in
this section of late, and are actually en-
gagged in clearing land and paving the
way of hundreds more of their race to
make homes where they can till the soil
without let or hindrance.
> OF course they were all rejoiced to hear
Harrison was elected, but they are indig-
nant at the Chinese demonstration over
the election of "Hallison" by the Chi
nese railroad hands of this place.
They want it distinctly understood
that if it ever comes to war of races be-
tween the Asiatics and the Democracy of
America they wish it understood they
will cast their fortunes with the Anglo
Saxon, Celt, or even the untutored Cali
fornians, before they will affiliate with
the denizens of Asia Minor or the SUBJ
jects of the opium kingdom, or even the
crazy Misunderstanding Puritans OF the
May Flower persuasion.
Huge efforts will be made to raise a
crop on the alkali lands south and south
east of this place this year, but the prob
abilities are two to one that inside of
che alkali belt all efforts will be fail
ure, while all clean lands outside of the
medicine belt will produce crop that
will astonish the natives.

The passengers on the San Francisco
train yesterday morning included two
wealthy Chinese merchants from San
Francisco. They had chartered the
drawing-room in the best Pullman on
the train, and created quite a sensation
when they took possession. They were
attirei with all the magni6cence usual
in the haut ton Of China, and their silken
robes evidenly represented an outlay Of
as much money as would have clad half
. dozen Caucassans in the conventional

The New A. & p. Bridge.

A railroad man in from the Needles
yesterday says that the Atlantic and Pa
cific has large force of men at the Colo
RADIO river at work on the changes on the
road. The new steel bridge across the
river that was described some time ago
in these columns is to be put up, and as
il. is eight miles below the present cross
ing, fifteen miles Of new track will have
to be laid so as to ensure the approaches.
A large quantity of material is on hand
and it looks as if the company is deter
mined to push the work straight through.

Stop This Nonsense.

1t is time to stop the silly talk about
Governor Hill having contributed to Mr.
Cleveland's defeat. In every section of
| the State where Governor Hill is strong
and influential, the Democratic Presiden.
tial ticket ran we'll up with the Cover
nor's vote. In Erie county, the home of
Mr.. Cleveland, the greatest comparative
difference between the two votes is
shown. Mr.. Cleveland received 29,542
and Governor Hill 32,662, the difference
in favor of Hill being 3 ,120.
In Albany, despite the pretended
'saloon" influence, the difference be-
tween the two votes was only 3S1. In
Chemung. Governor Hll's home, it was
2l2. In Kings, whose cattle Democracy
sold out the whole party for local offices
and cash, President Cleveland received
only 1866 less plurality over Harrison
than Hill received over Miller. In New
York Cleveland obtained 1862 1858 votes,
and Hill, who had been Catering" we
were told, to the tremendous liquor" vote
in the city. got 167 ,901, or 1913 more.
In Schenectady the difference was only
243. In Rensselaer,, another "whisky
dealers" stronghold, Hill got All more
votes than Cleveland. In Westchester,
where there Was to be "wholesale
slaughter" of Cleveland for Hill, Cleve-
land was 276 ahead. In Richmond,
Queens and Suffolk, where there was to
be more "butchering' by the Governors
friends, Cleveland's vote was 593 in ex-
cess of Hills.
Finally, in the whole State, with four
counties to hear from where Cleveland's
vote will exceed Hills, the figures stand !:
For Cleveland GA. .59I and for Hill
627 ,Sl9. So in total Democratic vote of
,242, All Governor Hill only gets IL, ,227
more votes than Cleveland.
Yet we are told that Governor Hill has
''truckled" to the worst elements of the
State and has been supported by all the
"rum-shop" influence.
Let all this silly talk about Hills
"treachery" be stopped, no matter
whether it comes from rascals or fools.
IN. Y. World.
A singular wedding took place at Nur-
emberg lately. The bride was armless ;
but her feet answered all the require
ments of the occasion. When it came to
signing her name on the civil register,
she deity slipped off one of her shoes,
and taking the pen in her right toes she
traced her name in a nice hand in the
book. The priest passed the nuptial
ring over her fourth toe, and the cere-
mony being ended, her friends came for
ward and embraced her. Much interest
was manifested in the bride when she
drew a neat handkerchief out of her
dress and blew her nose with the aid of
one foot, while she held the napkin with
the other.
