According to latest advices, Georgia

the crowd that assembled in response to

DELBRIDGE's INSURANCE.

Widow $4,000.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov 4.-The first step to-
ward the payment of the insurance poll
cies held by Thomas ]. Delbridge, at the
time he met his death in the lake at East
Lake park six weeks ago, was taken to-
day by the agent of the National Union,
which paid over to the widow 5000, the
full amount of Delbrldges policy in that
company.
Delbrdge had insurance to the amount
of $4,000 on his life, most of it taken out
within thirty days of the time when he
was mysteriously drowned. Whether his
death was accidental or suicidal, has never
been satisfactorily settled in the public
mind, and the action of the insurance COM
panies has been watched with great in
terest. The other companies have not an
nounced their refusal to pay their poll
cies, but have held them up so far.

Killing Wolves Is Profitable.

Bills for bounties on wolves and coy
otes aggregating $5S,O0O have been pre-
sented to the secretary of state of Mon
tana this fall, and the season is said to
be only just about opening. The legis-
lature offered bounty of three dollars
each on the scalps of wolves and coy
otes, and great many people are MAX
ing lots of money hunting the animals.
Indeed, wolf-hunting has been adopted
as steady business by many former
cowboys. The people of the state are
glad to pay out any amount of money
in bounties, so long as no one goes to
raising wolves for their scalps and the
bounty. But there is little danger of
this at present, the animals being so
unpleasantly numerous on the cattle
ranges.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1896-01-23

The tarpon is a very timid fish of the
herring kind, and his timidity, coupled
with his great size and strength, make
him desirable prey to the angler. In
fishing for them a strong, stiff rod is
used, about seven feet long, TO which
is attached $50 yards of strong line
wound Ground reel. The hook is
about as big Us a gaff. The bait is q
piece of mullet, fresh cut from the fish
The tarpon nibbles the bait slowly
and on account Of the hardness of the
jaws il is useless to attempt to catch
him until he has swallowed the hook
Altogether, the creature may be said
to be in every way fit to provide sport
for the new woman angler.
After Mrs. Patterson had hooked her
fish it took 20 minutes of hard
fighting to tire him out. Then he was
hauled mp alongside and GATED by an
enormous hook fastened to a pole
This implement was handled by the
boatman, Mrs. Patterson relaxing the
feminine character of the proceedings
far enough to permit of his humble as
sistance.
A 1O7-pound fish is a pretty fair catch
for a woman, especially before break
fast, and it might have been expected
that the lady would have returned to
the hote! satisfied. But not so. The
hook was baitcd afresh, and in less
than an hour another bite was had; the
line slowly ran over the side of the
boat, and then the time for striking
came. The monster made heroic efforts
to break away, but there was new
woman on the other end of the line and
all his struggles were unavajling. She
let the fish leap and roll and plunge
and dive as it would, the line was al
ways stretched out to the proper de-
gree of tautness.
1t took 16 minutes to kill this fish.
Mrs. Patterson was back at the hotel
before IL o'clock, and her husband
could scarce believe his ears when she
told him the story. But he believed his
eyes when he saw the fish. Mrs. Pat
terson now claims the championship in
the matter of tarpon-catching before
breakfast. Hers is the biggest basket
that has ever been caught by woman.
Of course none but the new woman
could have done it.
The tarpon contains great quantity
of oil, for which reason it is not very
choice article of food. The beautiful
silvery scales with which it is covered
constitute it's greatest value. They vary
IN size, being from two to four inches
in diameter, and are not unlike the in
side of a native oyster shell, although
more silvery. When dried they are re-
markedly tough, and do not lose any OF
that brilliancy they display on the live
creature. ..,...#.. ... II. F|.. p.

DEER WITH HORNS IN DEADLOCK.

skeletons remained. The theory has
always been that the animals had
died thus fighting. The deers of which
this exhibit originally formed part
were discovered in combat and with
their horns inseparably tangled.
II. l.. Brown, of Albion, Mich, was
hunting near Bismarck, N. d., Novem-
Der Is last, when he came upon two
Virginia deer bucks locked in mortal
tangle. How long they had been thus
he could not say, but it must have been
some time, because they had plowed
up about two acres of ground in their
struggle. They could not run away
and Mr.. Brown ended their struggle
by shooting them. He cut off the heads
and sent them to this city to have them
mounted as he found them. N. Slot
kin, the taxidermist, who prepared
them, says the horns could only be un-
tangled by breaking them or loosening
them from the skull, and this was never
done, so they remain as the hunter
found them.
The deers were young bucks of about
the same age, probably two years old.
The taxidermist said if they had been
mounted full figure they would have
been worth more than $4,000. AS they
are now, he says, the pair of heads is
worth $500. They belong to the man
who killed them, and who will keep
them as trophy of his rare good luck
as u sportsman.

wbeeIman Saves m Train.

An instance where a wheelman has
been able to avert a serious railroad
accident is reported from Barcelona,
Spain. On the railroad to Lerida the
highway runs along the track quite a
distance, and bicyclist who was out
touring noticed how the two last cars
of freight train broke loose on a
steep grade and began to run back
with an ominous rapidity. He spurted
in the same direction along the road,
and with great presence of mind he
announced the fact to the engineer of
a train standing on the track, who
at once started back to avoid getting
the full force of the two cars; thus,
what might have been n great dis
aster was averted; still, the force of
the collision was so great that one of
the two freight cars was demolished
and the front of the engine partly dis
mantled. Except for a severe shak-
ing up no one was hurt on the train.
