SEA LION
cspsized Boat and Gave Two Fisher
men an Exciting Experience.

San Rafael (Cal.) Spec. San Fran
cisco Bulletin: John Bartini and Joe
Lafranky, two Italian fishermen, came
very near meeting their deaths the
other morning off MeNear's Point IN
San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky
had their nets set for the purpose OF
catching founders, and when the tide
started to turn they proceeded to pull
in, when they noticed that the nets
were harder to handle than usual. They
thought they had an unusual large
catch of founders, but when they had
fully 10 fathoms of net pulled into the
boat large sea lion was noticed
splashing the water at furious rate.
Bartini called to Lafranky to get an
oar and hit him, but just as he had
said the words the sea lion stuck his
head out of the water and, seeing the
boat and its occupants, made lunge,
eapsizing the craft. Bartini, who IS
good swimmer, Immediately jumped
for his partner and, Selling him by the
arm, dragged him to the boat and fin.
ally managed to get hinon the bottom.
When the boat capsized the anchor fell
overheard and the craft was made fast
The sea lion continued splashing the
water at terrific rate. and the Ital=
ians were badly frightened. They
called for help, but their cries were Of
no avail. as their voices could not be
heard a hundred yards, the wind blow
ing a terrific gale. Finally, after they
had been IN the water for fully three
hours, u schooner was sighted coming
from the Patent brick yard, and the
crew lowered a small boat and went to
the rescue of the Italians. who were
almost exhausted from fright and cold.
After about an hour the boat was
righted, the lion being killed with a
shotgun from the schooner. 1t proved
to be large one, weighing fully 1000
pounds. The lion was probably follow
ing a shoal of herring UP the bay and
ran foul Of the Italians net and sue
ceeded in getting tangled up in it. The
net is a complete wreck. This is the
second time that sea lion has been
so caught in San Pablo Bay and almost

PIPES OF PEACE.
Those Made of BIood-Red Stone Most
Esteemed by Indians.

Nearly every Indian tribe has some
blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar-
ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long
ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes
and Sioux, the bravest of their respec-
tive tribes, met in conflict here. They
fought all day, from early morn until
set of sun, until the chieftain of one
band was slain. Some of the warriors
escaped, and some were made captives.
Among the eaptives was the chieftain's
daughter. Being very brave and fair,
she was chosen by one chief as his
share of the spoils. Refusing, how
ever, to become his bride, she was
doomed to the stake. In dying she
throw her blood upon the suns rays to
her people far away, and that the stone
under her feet would be forever tinted
with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex-
plorer of Indian country, was the first
white man to visit this locality. At
traeted by the Indian tales he had
heard in the summer of 1886, in COM
pdHy with young English BeHIleHHA
and his trusty Indian guide, he started
on horseback from st. Anthony's Falls
to explore the region. It appears that
the Indian tribes have long held the
place IN superstittous estimation, and
also that it has been the resort of diff
ferent tribes, who have made their
regular pilgrimage there to renew their
pipes. It is also evident that these
people set an extraordinary value on
the red stone, Independent of the fact
that it is more easily carved and makes
better pipes than any other stone.
Whenever an Indian presents a pipe of
it, he gives it as something from the
Great Spirit, and some of the tribes
have tradi ion that the red men were
all created from the red stone and that
it is thereby a part of their flesh.
Such was the superstition of the Sioux
on this subject that we had great diff
ficulty in approaching it, being stopped
by several hundred Of them, who or
dered us back and threatened US very
hard. saying that no white man had

An International complloat,on.

From Pagny-sur-MoselIe comes news
of an international complication which
was happily resolved without the
spillipg of blood. When the train
which was bound for Metz drew into
the station whence it should pass into
German control, it was found that one
of the carriages contained, conspieH-
ously pasted a carieature of the
Kaiser, painted with an insulting le-
gend. The German guard refused to
have anything to do with such train.
Now you cannot find train, and to
immune it in fortress is poor salts
faction. But you can cut off it's en-
CINE. And that the German guard
threatened to do if the insult were not
wiped out. 1t was wiped out, not by
blood but by hot water applied by a
carriage-eleaner.

A BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS.
How he Trioied a Merchant Into Giving
Him Money.

NJ Cordier, a retired merchant of
Paris much given to consulting spirits
in emergencies, has been tricked in
rather amusing manner by an amateur
ghost, who resided In rooms contigu-
Gus to those of the ex-business man,
says the London Telegraph. The lat
ter lately told friends and acquaint-
sage from spiritland to the effect that
his son. who traded in Tonquin, had
been murdered by pirates. The dis
honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked
one night at M. Cardier's wall, and an
nounced that he was a spirit who
wanted money for masses to be said in
a certain church for the repose of the
soul Of the retired merchants son. A
sum of 160 francs was required, and
the phantom asked M. Cordier to be
good enough to put it under the first
chair on the left side Virgins altar in
the church of Saint sulpice It APP
pears that M. Cordier deposited sew
era1 donations for the ghost under the
chair. and the money was regularly
taken away. In the meantime, the
son supposed to be dead came home
from Tonquin unframed and unhurt
The young man had, in fact, no adven-
ture with pirates, and was engaged In
very prosaic business ma sters during
his stay in the far east. The son laid
trap one night for the ghost, who
was invited by Cordier senior to walk
into his fiat in the dark. No sooner
had the spirit entered the room than
he received blow on the head from a
big stick brandished by the traveller
from Tonquin. The guilty phantom
fed. but was pursued down the stairs
and into the street by father and son.
The spirit loved to be very sub
stantial adventurer, who was reeog-
nized by the police as a person much
wanted for acts of sWindling of a di-
versified and In some instances of a
very ingenious sort.
