THE TRIBUNE hopes that MT. Shibley will be successful in procuring lots of orders.

FIGHT TO FINISH
And The Stranger Won Out

While the Erne-McGovern fight was
in progress in New York last night the

Mr.. DeGroff's white puppy Fritz" and
black woody dog who strsyed in at tho
heels of travelling man. The fight
was to finish, and at the end of the
third round it was seen that the white
dog was fairly outclassed and the deci-
sion was given to the stranger.
The guests OF the hotel crowded
around the ring and cheered the home
dog to victory but it was evident from
the start that he wasn't the equal of
the black dog by several pounds. Con-
siderable money at two to enc on the
white dog was offered out of patriot
ism, and was accepted.
Jim Megoffin's great Dane was tax

of the fray reached him and he was
Immediately excited at the prospect of

street and bounded into the hotel
lobby and nearly knocked down an on
locker who was standing in the door
Then he cleared way to the ring
scattering the guests right and left
and proceeded to referee the fight &C.
cordinR to the Queensberry rules.
His decision giving the fight to the
black stranger was not questioned.
Mr.. DeGroff took charge of "Fritz"
after he was counted out and found
him only slightly damaged.

INTERESTING RELIC
Described BY Major S. N. Davis.


Major s. M. Davis, in his wander
ings In the interest," of the chamber Of
commerce, has found something in
teresting, which he describes as
follows:
For little change from mineral
talk, will write you about some other
things have seen on this trip. In the
off1ce of Mr.. G. T. Brown, of the Blu ,k-
eye Mining company, with office at
Socorro, 1 found the oldest bell in
North America. 1 looked up it's
history and from the United States
Geological Survey reports L obtained
the fol, o 1iug statement:
This HE toric bell was made in 1549
In 1850 the church was destroyed by
the Indians. In 1874 the bell was dug
out of the ruins of an old church at
Gran Quivera. an old Pueblo and
Spanish city, said by many Spanish
historians to have exceeded twenty
thousand population. From Gran
Quivera the bell was brought back to
Socorro and hung in the old San
Miguel church.
In 1881 this church at Socorro was
destroyed by Indians and the people
driven south to Ysleta near FL Paso.
In 1906 colony of seventy families
came from Belem, on tie Rio Grande.
and resettled Socorro and repaired the
Olu CuuECu, WulCh bbouQ5 W UAl6 QoJs
This old bell was again resurrected and
placed in the church. The bell weighs
461 pounds. The metal used in IL came
from q mine In Grant county, N. M.
called the Santa Rita de Cobre. The
women added all their jewelry of silver
and gold to it. Clippings from the old
bell have been assayed and it Ia found
that 1t Ia worth over four hundred dol
lars in gold and silver.
This bell was the first to ring on the
American continent, and that on the
banks of the Rio Grande.
II this old bell could but tell its his
tory, what blood curdling stories it
could relate of murder and rspine by
the bloedthirsty savage tribes that
Inhabited New Mexico. Seventy years
before the Msyfower sailed into Bos-
ton harbor, this old bell with its clear
tone, was calling together q brave
little band of worshipers with their
weapons of defense in one hand and
the cross of Christ in the other. With
brave hearts they penetrated the up
per regions of the Rio Grande.
1 have q promise fromMr. Brown that
the old bell will be brought to FL Paso
and ring the glad tidings to the world
when the old Palace of Montezuma is
open, some day in the near future.

Mr.. Aliaferro Ta1iaferrO.

81 suppose" said a government clerk
to the man across the table, that you
have heard of the Virginia family of
Derby which spells its name En-
roughly, as we'll as the Chumleys
of England. but 1 came across one the
other day that I'll bet a hat you never
heard of. The subject of the sketch
was a Virginian or claimed that he
was, and he was so youthful and I'M
sophisticated that l guess he was tell
ing the truth. Children and fools, you
know. have weakness in that regard.
Il met the young fellow on a train
between Richmond and Petersburg,
and we struck up quite an acquaint-
ance. He told me his name was Tolli-
ver-Oliver Tolliver-and l very natu-
rally asked him if he spelled his name
as did the famous f. F. V. Taliaferros,
and he said he did and seemed to be
proud of it. 1 was rather proud to be
friendly with one of the name myself
and made myself extra agreeable.
when he left me at a way station
and babe me goodby, he rendered me
his card and told me he hoped 1 would
not forget him. l didn't look at the
card till he had gone, and, would you
believe it. the young fellow had his
name spelled to match, as it were, and
it appeared thus, Mr.. Aliaferro Talia-
ferro,' which, in my humble opinion,
was getting Oliver Tolliver down pref
ty fine. Don't you think so too?'-

A Lake That Eats Boats.

A strange lake exists in the center or
Sulphur island off New Zealand. 1t is
so acres in extent, about II feet in
depth and 10 feet above the level of the
sea.
The most remarkable characteristic
of this lake is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and sui
phuric acids kissing and bubbling at O
tempera ture of ITO degrees F.
The dark green cOlOred water looks
particularly uninviting. Dense clouds
of sulphuric fumes constantly roll of
this boiling caldron, and care has to be
exercised in approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of suffocation. On the
opposite side of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which,
when in full blast, present an awe In
spring sight.
The roar Of the steam as it rushes
forth into the air is deafening, and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out to a height of several hun
dred feet by the various internal forces
of nature.
A boat can be launched on the lake,
and if proper care be observed the very
edges of the blowholes may be safely
explored.
Some idea of the strength of the acid
saturated water of this lake may be
gathered from the fact that a boat al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed, as the
rivets had corroded under the influence
of the acids.
