CATALINA WHOPPERS.

Mexican Joe and a Killer Follow.
ing B0ats-Exciteme at Cata.
ltna-auests of the Metropole
Followed by q Killer.
Mexican Joe was moving down the
coast yesterday, when two killers (oreas)
came up and showed q desire to
get into the boat. They passed
under it, rubbed their tall dorsal fms
against it, puffed in Joe's ear, and snorted
and spouted all about him, go that he
thought it would be a good idea, to 20
ashore, the cetaceans following him in.
As soon as they passed he went out and
saw the killers approach q number of
other boats in the same way, following
them inshore, and soaring the occupants
in various ways. They passed down the
entire coast, saying "howdy" in their
way to all corners.
The killer, or oreo, is q whale about
twenty feet long, that is the shark of the
whale tribe, being very ferocious, feeding
on other whales, seals, sea-lions, or any
thing it can catch.
Some years ago half a dozen took a
large whale away from some whalers
and pulled it down out Of sight before
their eyes. They have sharp teeth and
are dreaded by the big whales.
This week has been dedicated to the
yellow tail. 1t is here by thousands and
the bay is alive with boats catching
them. Nineteen were taken from the
wharf last night, and they are drug on
the market, though one never tires of
catching them.
The largest jewish of the season was
taken yesterday. One man took three,
one OF which weighed 1874 pounds. It
has been photographed in all sorts of
ways. and is monster.
Yesterday q large party went to the
isthmus on the water. Mr.. and Mrs.
Haggett, Mr.. Robert Vandevoort, Mr..
John Vandevoort, Mrs. Barres, Mrs.
Vandevoort, Mr.. and Mrs. Mennon, Mr..
and Mrs. Holder, Rev. Mr.. Condit, Mr..
Scott, Mr.. Suesserott, Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Guire, Mr.. Merwin, Miss Richards, Mrs.
E. A. Holder, Mrs. Mitchell and several
more.
The day was spent in digging in the
old graveyard and ten feet Of beads was
the result. The party found DIR. Phil
brook and Mr.. w. Rodman in camp and
they told famous stories about the shark
and other fishing on the west side of the
island.
Captain Remington, of the Wanda, is
having fifty-five foot steamer built for
next season which will fill a long. felt
want here. The boat will be designed
for the requirements of the
island and have cabin and everything
the luxurious fisherman desires.
The first rain of the season began to-
day, but it ia not sufficient to send in the
yellow tail nimrods who fill the bag.

Not I'm Politics.

Col. J. O. Robinson, of the cable roads,
wishes the people Of the city to be as
sured that he issued no orders to his
men as to how they should vote. The
employees of the road were allowed to
follow their own judgment in that re-
spect. AS to the meeting in the engine
house on Boyle Heights on the night be-
fore the bond election, he states that he
did not know what the purpose of that
meeting was. While in his Office tele-
phone message came in from one of the
prominent citizens of the Heights, ask
ing il the people might use the place for
meeting, and he replied that the house
was always ct the service Of the people
Of Boyle Heights for any proper purpose.

The Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury, contrary to expects
tions, met yesterday at 2 o'clock. It is
known that Frank Lauterio was again
before this body, togive further informa-
ton in regard to the warrant frauds. On
Monday, if things ripen as fast as the
present state of the Judicial barometer
indicates, there will be big crop of new
indictments handed in to Judge Cheney,
and the Sheriff's Office will probably have
one more chance to display its agility in
getting the alleged fslons into Captain
Darcy's clutches.

strips, and add boiling water to scarcely

ard so fat that he looks like huge ball,

looks like a telegraph pole, or rather
like pole set upon two mon
strous straws. He is very tall, and
his thinneSs eNaggerates the effect.
Mile. Rosa, the French bearded lady,
attracted attention. Broncho John is
another interesting feature. He is &C
