MONSTER SEA BASS CAUGHT

San Diego, Cal, March ia great

beds today.
Two men were out in a small boat.
Gazing into the limpid depths of the
ocean they could readily distinguish six

A hook baited with tempting white
fish was lowered before the nose of the
hungry monsters and watched eagerly
by the anglers, who could easily see
every movement of the finny game. One
big black fellow after another would
smell of it, shake his head and back
away. Something seemed to arouse their
suspicion.
Finally one old veteran the largest of
the school, advanced to the lure. The
huge mouth opened. The jaws snapped
down on the bait. The anglers were de-
lighted Waiting for half a minute un-
til the fish had the bait well swallowed
they gave the line a sharp jerk. The
steel hook penetrated the vitals of the
fish
The agonizing shock stimulated the
creature to a fierce plunge into the low
er depths of the sea, 20 fathomS of stout
line paid out from the bow Of the boat in
twinkling. So rapidly did the line pay
out that water was thrown on the
smoking coil to prevent its burning.
The fish hit the floor of the sea and
then sped like the wind, dragging the
boat almost bows under the wake. Half
q mile ran the fish. Then, partially ex-
hauSted, it Sulked, made a few feeble
efforts to escape, was drawn to the sur
face and dispatched with a knife. 1t

MISS ASTOR's WEDDING.
Daughter of William Waldorf to Wed
the Duke of Manchester.

New York, March 17.-That a matri-
monial alliance is projected between
Miss Pauline Astor and the young Duke
of Manchester, is generally credited by
New York society.
Miss Aston, as the daughter of VIII
lam Waldorf Aston, is a great heiress.
The Duke of Manchester has a great til
tie and is sadly lacking in means. His
mother, who was Miss Yznaga, is
New Yorker, as is also Mrs. Astor's
father
Miss Aston is said to be extremely
pretty and to resemble her mother. The
latter, prior to the marriage of William
Waldorf Aston, was a Miss Paul of
Philadelphia, and a brilliant beauty of
the brunette type. Miss Astor is the
only manageable young woman of her
name al the present time.
Miss Aston will, it is said, be intro
duced at the queens drawing room in
May On the same occasion the surviv-
ing two daughters of the Duchess of
Manchester will be presented; also Miss
Van Allen, who is a relative of Miss AS
tor James ]. Van Allen, the father of
Miss Van Allen, is a son-in-law of Mrs.
VIM. Astor.
Miss Astor, if she marries the Duke of
Manchester, Will be the fourth on the
list of American duchesses. The three

SLAUGHTERED II ELK.
Wanton Act of Lot of Italians Near
Spring GuIch.

G1enwood Springs. March 17.-There
is considerable Indignation over the
Strengthening of i elk by Italian coal
miners at Spring Gulch last Sunday,
and unless some definite action is taken
by the authorities to punish the offend
ers, individual ranchmen, who have
been protecting the elk, threaten to take
the matter into their own hands.
For months a band of II elk have
been feeding in the high ranges
above Spring Gulch, and by de-
grees the heavy SHOWS have
forced the animals down the
mountains until they arrived in the
valley adjacent to Spring Gulch last
Saturday. Italian miners, working at
the Spring Gulch coal mines, were ap-
praised of this fact and on Sunday a
score of them surrounded the herd,
drove them into the deep snow of a
gulch, and slaughtered the entire band.

cabins, where they are openly drying
or otherwise curing the meat.

the Duchess of Marlborough, formerly
Miss ConsuelO Vanderbilt.
The Duke of Manchester is now 20
years old. 1t cannot be said that the

ough- There is no Blenheim, and the

pleasant and attractive.
The two places of the young Duke of
Manchester, known as KimbOlton Cas-
tie, in England, and Tander-Agas cas-
tie in Ireland, are both said to be heav-
lily mort tagged.
Miss Aston will probably have a for
tune of several millions, more especial

ambitious views but it is likely that VIM
Waldorf Aston will follow the Astor pol
icy and leave the bulk of his fortune
including the estate of Cliveden, to his
eldest son.

Athens. Ga, March 1.-THE universe
ty campus has resembled a seat of war
all day.
Two members of the freshmen class
have assaulted Editor Shelby Myrick
of the college paper, Red and Black and
he has nine other engagements ahead of
him, with a promise that he will be
whipped by every one of the class. The
difference grows out of effort to stop
the habit of booking The graduating
class took action to this effect, which
Myricx, as editor of the Red and Black
indorsed denouncing those who op-
posed it as dishonorable This was at
once taken up by the freshmen, who
have called upon him to retract.
Yesterday afternoon Lamar Rucker, a
son of United States District Attorney
Rucker knocked Myrick down on the
campus.
A little later John I. Irvine, another
member of a leading family, repeated
the experiment. Today the parents of
the young men are hurrying toward the
scene, taking sides for and against, and
rendering the problem still more diff
cult for the professors.

There was a report around that the

This is not true. The girls are takin g

Sometimes it is a case of the pupils care
lessness in leaving their books around,
and very often when articles are reported
missing or stolen they Lave simply been

The girls used to leave their purses

school of this size it is little wonder that
they did not fino them there when they
