for positions in the census office who

Brother of Man Killed by Roberts Claims tic

As the result of the alleged attempt
made at Reed Point last week to as
sassinate Sim Roberts, the slayer Of
Nate Young, johnson, the dead man, S
half brother, was placed under ar
rest, charged with assault in the first
degree. His preliminary hearing will
take place Jan. 20, before Justice Lee
at Big Timber, and in the meantime
johnson is out on bail. His story,
according to the Big Timber Express,
differs from that related by Roberts
in only one material point, and that
is that Roberts fired the first shot. III
proof of this johnson exhibited bull

way between the shoulder and hip.
He does not deny shooting at Roberts
as long as he could see him, but
claims, of course, says the Express,
that the shooting was done in neces-

ple's party, he declined to get into the
democratic band wagon and declared
that the populists would much rather
walk than to ride in democracy's d.

Despite the insipid attempt Of
the Carbon County Democrat to
make light Of the meeting and poke
fun at the popuhst movement, the be-
ginning made has an auspicious in
ception and gives promise Of spread
ing and becoming an important fac
tor in shaping the political destiny Of

the local organ of democracy that
there was only one genuine populist
in attendance upon the meeting is d
mean and contemplate falshood.
Every voter present, with the excep-
tion Of the five democratic office hold
ers, was either a pronounced populist
Or else in sympathy in part with the
new movement.
The populists very naturally and
properly resent the attempt made by
the Democrat to laugh the movement
out of existence. No amount of ridi-
cule can stay the tide that has set in

state that the populists are much

Her black, luXuriant hair has few
traces of gray and her blacA eyes are
piercing and lustrous still.

However, it seldom falls to the lot of
landsmen to see combat between the
largest inhabitants of the sea. and
many sailor has spent his life on
salt water without chance to see such
a sight.
Part of the time the yachts were
within 200 yards of the combat, and
some of the other boats ventured even
nearer, or the fish IN their blind fury
worked nearer them. All the time
the water was churned into foam,
and the spray was dashed high Into
the air as the whale spouted or the
thrasher leaped into the air to fall
upon it's enemy. The whales efforts
we're mainly directed to escape from
the constant attacks of the smaller
monsters. In his efforts to avoid the
rushes of the fox shark he would try
to sound, only to be forced back to
the surface by the thrusts of the
swordfish below. Every time he came
up he would send forth fountain of
silvcry spray. The same instant a
column of water would be hurled up
wards, as if by an explosion beneath
the surface, and in the column would
appear the gray body of the fox
shark, spreading its two wing-like
fins. The shark seemed to rise fully
20 feet into the air, and, turning as a
diver would when leaping from a
springboard, would fall muzzie first
upon the back of the whale, and the
two would sink beneath the surface.
That sort of fighting went on for fully
80 minutes. The thrasher kept right
after the whale, and the swordfish
waited below until he had q chance
from that vantage. il
After about IS rounds of that sort
of battle. as one of the sports on
board one of the yachts put it, the
whale began to lose interest, and
seemed willing to call it draw. But
the shark was game, and kept right
after him. The whale began to lum-
Der along, not up to his speed, and it
was plain that dead heat would sat
isfy him. But the shark was a Fitz
simmons. Finally the whale turned
belly up, and he was done for. He
sank like foundered ship. He sim
ply could not withstand the smuggling
of the mighty head of that shark
falling 20 feet upon him, and the
thrusts of the swcrdfish from be

fight to the death between an 30

A fight to the death between an 30
foot whale on one side and thrasher,
or fox shark, and a swordtish on the
other, was witnessed few days ago
by the visitors and sailors on two
yachts and the crews of some other
small vessels outside San Francisco
bay. All the witnesses agree that for
thrilling interest the fight was ahead
of anything they had ever seen or
heard of. 1t lasted half an hour and
resulted in the defeat and probable
death of the whale.
The whale, and the swordfish, and
the shark are ancient enemies, and
fights between them are not rare.
