MONSTER
Inhabits Indiana Lake
Some Strange Things Seen by
Citizens.

South Bend, Ind, Aug. 15.-Great
excitement exists at Koontz's lake,
south of this city, over the appearance
of mysterious looking animal. No
one has so far got close enough to
give an accurate description of the
monster, but whatever 1t may be, II
is of immensessize. One man, whose
Imagination possibly may have got
little the better Of him, says he saw
the monster In the water the other
day, and IT was 90 feet long. had
face something like that of a human
being and wore a moustache
and whiskers. This may be slight
exaggeration, but that there is a
strange monster in Koontz's lake there
is no longer any doubt, and already
crowds are flocling there to get
glimpse if possible of the waters
strange inhabitant.
1t has been seen few times in pre-
vious years, but people have generally
seemed inclined to regald the stories
about ii as being of the sea serpent
| variety. People who would not mis-
represent or stretch the truth have
seen the animal during the past few
| days, and credencc is now given to
those reports.
On Wednesday Samuel Koontz and
others pursued the animal in boats,
but it proved a swift swimmer, and
would dive out of sight before the
party could get good square view
of it. but they saw enough to know
that it was Of monstrous slzeN A por-
ton of its body was exposed, and
what they saw was at least IL feet
long. They could not see the head
The animal was seen in the small lake
near the mill race, but it evidently
keeps in deep water most of the time
and for that reason rarely makes it.

deep, in some places so deep that the
bottom has never been sounded, anG
there doubtless is where the anima
makes its home.
Mr.. Koontz got his first good lool
at the animal four years ago while h,
was rowing boat on the lake. He a
that time got fairly good view of it

halfbushel measure and somewha

made its escape, although Mr.. Koont

MRS. BAGNET,s VIEW.

Mrs. Bagnet who figures as a strong
character in Dickens Bleak House
she was the wife of soldier and is
usually referred to as the odd girl"
had some views upon courts which it
may not be inept to quote at this par
ticular time. A friend Of hers, one
Sergeant Genge having been taken up
for a crime which he had not commit
ted, Mrs. Bagnet commented in a line
which the following quotation will
show:
d" 1t won't do to have truth and JUS
tice on his side; he must have law and
lawyers, eXclaims the old girl, APP
parently persuaded that the latter form
a separate establishment and have dis
solved partnership with truth and JUS
tice for ever and a day"
Those who live in the Hawaiian ISL
and under the vagaries of the circuit
court are Coming to the conclusion
that Mrs. Bagnet was not very far
