There Is among the delegates favorable

A Great Curiosity.

A steamer recently arrived at Seattle
from Alaska has brought from that icy
country the skeleton of a whale-lizard,
the second of its kind known to be in
existence. The other was found some
years ago near Oxford, England, but is
much smaller than this one. 1t is now
in the British museum. The whale
lizard is described in natural history as
'sthe king of the land and sea-" doubt
less from the fact that it was equally at
home on land or in the water. In water
its speed was terrific: it swan with its
legs, its enormous wings serving to
keep its body above the surface. SO that
i. must have appeared to be walking on
the water. An idea of its great size
can be formed from the fact that one
bone weighed 794 pounds. The weight
of the whole skeleton is q 400 pounds
illustrated American.

A THANKSGIVING HOLD UP.

The Pullman Car Passengers on q North
ern Pacific Train Compelled to Dis
gorge by . Band of Bold Robbers.
SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 26.-The over
land west-bound train on the Northern
Pacific was held up Thursday evening
near Hot Springs by three masked
men, who robbed all of the male pas
sengers in the Pullman sleeper Wa
dena, six in all. The robbers entered
the car, it is believed, at Hot Springs,
as the train had not gone five miles
from that place when the men entered
the rear part of the sleeper.
The first man they met was E. H.
Miller, of Portland, Ore, who was in
the smoking compartment He was re-
lieved of $40 and a gold watch. and
then told to march in ahead of the rob-
bers, which he did. One of the high
waymen went to the extreme end of
the car, while the others stood guard
at the end they entered. All were
dressed in dark clothes, overcoats.
SLOUGH hats and wore handkerchiefs
over their faces with holes cut out for
eyes. They placed revolvers at the
heads of the passengers and commanded
them to hold up their hands.
AS the robbing was going on S. j.
F Freedman of Portland, Ore. came in
from an adjoining car, and as he en-
tered, not knowing what was going on,
he was commanded to hold up his
hands, but not complying quick
enough the robber nearest to him fred
a shot through the side of the car and
then Freedman understood what was
wanted and he handed over his valua-
bles. The robbers did not modest the
ladies, of whom there were four with
two children, telling them to keep
quiet and no harm would come to
them. This they did
After robbing everybody in the car
and without going to any of the other
cars, the robbers pulled the bell-cord,
giving the proper signals. and when
the car stopped they pulled the bell to
start again and jumped off and fed to
the woods.
The total amount taken was 81, 200,
besides the gold watches and iewelry
and other vaiuables
