Capture of a 4oo.Pouna shark.

A Quonochoutaug maid who bagged a
shark weighing 200 pounds has been
eclipsed by couple of South Stamford
boys, not in the amount of pluck dis
played, but in the size of the booty The
shark the South Stamford boys captured
weighed 400 pounds, and this is the way
they caught the big fellow: 1t was Sat
urday at Ware Island, near Pine Island,
and the boys were out with boat and
seine. Suddenly, well up in the coarse
sedge of the island, they saw monster
fish of some sort. They didn't try the
seine business on him-that was useless.
But they so managed with boat and
bushes that the big fish seemed afraid to
try to reach deeper water, and the falling
tide finally left him aground Then the
boys out with jackknives and went at the
fish in regular harpoon style, and soon
had him in such shape that he wouldn't
kick. They towed their prize to the old
steamboat dock ut Waterside.
The fish is said to be of that variety OF
shark known as 'slasher" 1t is just
thirteen feet long.-Hartford Courant

A new plumb level has been put upon
the market which appears to be a most
handy and valuable little instrument
1t is thoroughly practical device for
leveling, plumbing and striking angles,
elevations and grades, and, while being
exceedingly simple, is admirably accu-
rate. 1t is described as being especially
adapted to the use of carpenters ma
chinists, stationary, civil and mining
engineers and bridge builders, as well
as for the ditching and draining of farm
lands, landscape gardening, etc This
device should be acceptable to track
layers and roadmasters, as by its use
grades and curves can be tested without
the assistance of a civil engineer, and 1t
is claimed 10 be much more reliable than
the spirit level. Exchange

Tho Return Of n kidnapped son WIN Iin,
nccn Muurued "a Dead,

Tho Return OF KIDNAPPED son who HAD
Bccn Mourned ns Dead.
Two years and half ago there died
on Rock River. near the Moline bridge,
Robert Gregg. ST.. one of Rock Island
county's old citizens Mr., Gregg came
TO Rock Island when the county was but
sparsely settled He left n large family
Of children at the time Of his death to
comfort his widow, who still survives
But the oldest of the family, Hiram,
never came to Rock Island. While play
ing one day on the shores Of Mud creek,
near his parents home at Savannah, in
Steuben county, western New York, he
was kidnapped by woman, who after.
ward stole clothes and shoes for him and
carried him to Wisconsin, where she
raised him. leading him to believe she
was his mother. and telling him that his
father died when he was baby. When
the boy grew to manhood he married
The woman attempted to poison his
family and fed
The boys family his parents and
brothers, gave him up for lost after he
disappeared thinking he had been
drowned in Mud creek, where he was
last SEEN Recently, through the work
of man named Lockery, who was
the paramour of the abductress, the
relatives here We're placed in com
munication with Hiram. who had been
given the name of Gage, and this cor
respondence eliminated the other day in
the long lost son and brother coming to
Rock Island Though forty years have
interviewed since he was given up as dead
to the world, he has been fully identi-
fed. He is 43 years of age, and is To-
Gated at Richardson, Oak county, Wis.
and is well to do. He will assume his
right name. He remembers nothing of
the kidnapping.
The woman who abducted him fled
with Lockery to Hudson, Wis, then to
Catfish Bay, where they lived for several
years. and finally to Richmond, where
they remained on a farm until about fif-
teen years ago. About the time of Hi
rams marriage the woman disappeared,
vowing she would never be heard of
again, but it has since been ascertained
that she was sentenced to prison for life
for the murder of her daughter. Hiram
for long time surmised from Lockery's
actions that he was not the woman's
son, and when Mt last he got upon the
trail of the facts Lockery told him plain.

Who Owns the Bird?

A novel suit is pending before Justice
Mcmahon at Parkville, l.. l. The liti-
giants are James McCaughn and James
Gormley. who are next door neighbors at
Parkville. McCaughn is the owner of
fancy fowl, which he values at from $50
to $50 each. Gormley also keeps chick
ems, but not of SO high breed. When
McCaughn saw among brood of young
chickens in Gormley's yard chicken of
the species of his own fancy fowl he
claimed it, and alleged that one of his
fancy hens must have flown over into
Gormley's yard, and laid an egg in the
henhouse there. Gormley refused to sur
render the chicken, saying that if
McCaughn's hen had laid the egg hen
belonging to Gormley was practically the
mother of the chicken, she having
Matched the egg Both men have en-
gagged New York lawyers to look after

A Needless Contriynnoe.

Some one has invented patent kind
of an arrangement to prevent pocket
picking. The pocket can. be placed in
the ordinary way, in any side or back
seam, unlocks at the waist somehow by
little arrangement concealed beneath
the dress, and cannot be tempered with
in any way. All of which is wonderful, no
doubt, and may be extremely practical
if some one will follow it up with an in
vention enabling woman to find her
pocket and get into it herself, a lady ex-
claimed recently, as the seamstress
ripped up an old gown which she had
worn two years, at seeing a pocket
cunningly hidden away where no one
would ever dream of looking for it.
The only way woman can find her
pocket now is by taking off the dress,
hanging 1t in strong light praying for
patience when she begins the search and
taking the day for it. Such modus OPP
erandi is hardly convenient in street
car or at the theatre, SO she half rises
and tumbles her draperies over in fran
tic sort of way. her face becoming Grim
son with embarrassment as her efforts
prove unavailing. and at last she accepts
gratefully the handkerchief proffered by
some sympathetic observer, and gives up
the search. Now, some kind of electric
contrivance that would set messenger
call bell whizzing in pocket, and keep
it sounding until the lady discovered its
whereabouts, would be useful indeed,
but the safety clasp to prevent the
pocket from being picked is almost as
necessary as locking up naughty pictures
from blind boys. No one could find the
pocket to pick, not even the woman her.
