A RavenOus Shark.

One Of the oldest sea captains who
visit New York is q German who
years ago left his fatherland to take
service in one of the English vessels
plying between London and the
East Indies. In conversation few
days ago he gave an account of his
"most exciting experience"
"a great shark" said he, had
followed us-our vessel was not very
large-for five days, on one of my
early voyages. 1t was impossible to
satisfy his ravenous hunger, and he
swallowed almost everything that
we threw overheard. We tried i'm
vain to capture the shark, and almost
decided to give up the attempt
Then, unhappily, my cabin boy died
and we, OF course, made preparations
to bury him, as sailors wish to be
buried, in the depths of the sea. We
watched for the shark on the morn
ing of the funeral, naturally not
wishing him to make a meal of the
ships little favorite. We had not
seen him for an hour or more, and
believed tho time favorable for the
burial. But we had been de-
ceived. The body, loaded with can
non balls to carry it to the bottom
of the sea, had just touched the wa
ter when the great shark opened it's
mighty jaws and swallowed it. The
sailors who had lowered the body
were almost drawn overheard by the
forceful pull of the shark.
This angered the seamen beyond
endurance, and they swore that they
would kill the creature. They pre-.
pared bomb, which was made to
explode under the water in a certain
time, inclosed it in O cowhide, and
threw it to the shark when he again
appeared near the ship. The cow
hide quickly disappeared. Asa rule
the shark, after getting something
In its mouth, swan away from the
vessel considerable distance, in or
der to eat the morsel. We, of course
expected it to do the same this time,
as the ship might be endangered by
the coming explosion. But, to the
terror of all of US, the shark remained
in close proximity to the vessel
Ono Of the sailors suggested that the
bite was not large enough to incon-
venience the monster, and proposed
that we make larger package for
it's stomach. 1t was done as quickly
as possible.
One of the seamen got a sack
which was filed with old rags and
other useless things, and threw it
into the water. The jaws opened,
but he could not get the stuff down
his throat so easily, 30 he swan away
to the great delight of all on board.
But the time had come for the ex-
plosion, and we waited with quick
beating hearts for it, praying that
he would keep away from the ship.
We could just see the fish start below
the surface, when a dull sound was
heard, the waters parted and flew in
the air. The shark was divided
into pieces, and our danger was past.
L shall never forget our terror while
the shark remained near us with that
bomb in it's belly"

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-03-05

George w. Mcbride has been
chosen in Oregon to succeed
Dolph. He is Al years of age
and is a native son of Oregon,
and has served in the state legis-
lature and held the office of Sec
Rotary of state for eight years.
On the silver question he is I'M
committed. AS he was placed in
nomination by Dolph man, it
would indicate that he was a
goldbug. There is one consola-
ton, however, he can be no
worse Wall street tool than the
one whom he succeeds.

Senator Hanrahan's bill to an
mex portion of Alturas county
to Custer county should not pass
unless amended. If we under
stand the boundary lines of the
bill correctly, valuable portion
of Custer county is left out, viz :
Seafoam and Sheep Mountain
mining district. Mr.. Hanrahan
has evidently followed the old
boundary lines in the west end
OF our county, instead of the new
lines which annexed that district.
This mistake should be correct
ed before the bill comes to avote
because we cannot well afford to
lose that district.

IF the senator had ssood at
one end of cable, as the secre-
tary of the treasury stood, and
had for days solicited all the
great money centers of the world
for their terms on our bonds, he
would not make such state
ment." These are the words of
Villas, the venal servitor OF Our
imbecile administration, in re
ply to a true charge that our
bonds had been truckled off to a
favored clique for less than they
were worth. Such statement
in the senate of the United Stat
es would indicate that the bottom
of infamy had been reached.

ton add greater than this. -

ton of such school that no 9th
err town or locality in the state
possess. In the first place Chal-
lis is located in nearly the center
of the state, in a great mining
region. Besides we surpass all
competitors in fine climate, pure
mountain streams and rivers,
beautiful scenery and a large
mountain of excellent building
rock.
Representative Mccarthy, the
author of this bill, is an untiring
worker, and one of the leading
representatives of the Idaho
legislature, and on all occasions
is ready to defend the rights of
the masses of the people, and his
record is such that the people of
Custer county can point to with
pride.

asking congress for the free
coinage of silver, supplemented
by sufficient paper money to re-
store prices to a basis of profit.
The Populists voted for the reso-
luton and were supported by six
Republicans and one Democrat;
but it was downed by a pure ma
Jority of Republicans. This of
course, is not surprising. While
perhaps a majority of the rank
and file of the Republicans favor
free coinage of silver at a ratio
OF 10 to /, the leaders do not.
There are, we believe, very few
men connected with national
banks who favor silver coinage
again at the old ratio. National
bank people are natural gold
bugs. They are bound together
by a common sympathy and the
majority of Republican legisla-
tors of Idaho are not removed
many generations from consan-
guineous relations with the
moneyed power. The action of
the Republican majority in the
legislature must be accepted to
mean mo friendship for free
coinage.-Murray San. |

is no exception. The arbitra-

upon long ago by the house, but
it hasn't been and now it is in
the caldron with other delayed
legislation, with no prospect Of
becoming a law, even if it should
by some chance effort get passed
by the house, not because of any
open opposition to the bill in the
senate, but because of lack of
time. Besides, the senate has
another arbitration bill, which
has been favorably reported
from the Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor. 1t was intro
duced by Senator Perkins, and
provides for the creation of an
arbitration commission of 81 per-
sons, to settle all disputes be-

chaIlis school of Mines.

At the opening of the after
noon session of the house on Feb.
90, McCarthy's Challis school CT
mines bill was taken up and fav-
orably acted on.
The bill had smooth sailing
until the section locating the
school at Challis was reached,
when Crane, of Kootenai, sent
up an amendment substituting
Occur d'Alene City for Challis;
lost, 6 to Is.
Hughes, of Shoshone, offered
an amendment to substitute Os-
born.
Walker, of Fremont, offered
an amendment to the amendment
substituting Boise; lost.
Hughes and Neill strongly adj
vocated placing the school at
Osborn, dwelling upon the ad-
vantages of that place for such
an institution.
Mccarthy responded with
counter claims for Challis.
Henry, of Kootenai, was OPP
posed to locating the school at
either place named. The state
university had mining depart
ment, which fully met all the re-
quirements. He urged that
branch of the university should
not be disturbed.
Hughes amendment to locate
the school at Osborn was lost,
the four Shoshone members
alone voting for it.
BY viva voce vote the Sec
ton establishing the school at
Challis was adopted.
Wnen the section authorizing
a bond issue of $4,000 for the
school was reached, Gamble, of
Latah, entered a vigorous pro-
test against placing further bur
dens upon the people.
Mccarthy said the sum would
only be a loan, and that the
state would be fully reimbursed
from the proceeds of the sale of
land granted by munificent gov
for the benefit of the
BY vote of IL to IL the Sec
tion was adopted.
The remaining sections of the
bill were adopted without obiec-

commended, II to II.

established in the state, and it
should be, to further advance our
great mining industries, Chal lis

While not wishing to Interfere with
any arrangements the executive COM
mittee for the celebration has made, yet
there is one thing that seems to THE
CHRONICLE an oversight. We are to
have visiting company of militia, who
very kindly have promised to make the
long trip from Wasco, and it would be
fitting that prize be offered for COM
petitive drill. Both companies A and g
have done great amount of practicing.
and a public drill would show their pro-
ficiency and stimulate interest in the
militia. Besides, there is no good rea-
son why prizes should be offered for
hose contests and none for the militia.
We hope the committee will provide for
a contest between the companies THAT
are present on the Fourth, and award q
suitable trophy.

board of discipline, which considered
several offenses against the order of the
