A BAD ITALIAN.

Mike Correal. an Italian, started in
to shoot up the camp at Coronado one
day last week and was making u glo-
rious success of it when Angel Camp
bell asked him 10 desist. Mike refused
and Campbell caught him by his pistol
hand and attempted TO disarm him.
Mike changed the pistol to his left
hand and was preparing to shoot
Campbell, who drew his own gun and
sent Il bullet through his opponent
left breast and arm. The trouble then
ceased and the Italian was brought to
the Clifton hospital for repairs and is
getting along nicely Campbell was
given Il preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Shirley at Metcaif and ac-
quilted. as it was clear from the evil
dence that he was acting as peace

NOVEL OYSTER BEDS.
Seems to he chief Use of the Funny
Turkish Navy.

Seems to BE chief Use of the Funny
Turkish Navy.
The Turkish navy in 1878 retired be-
hind the bridges up the Golden Horn,
and there remained rotting until 1897.
the only purpose of the vessels served
being to act as mussel and oyster beds,
from which the dock yard hands oc-
casiorally got a good feed. The ships
were dismantled. in many cases parts
of their engines were used for mer-
chant vessels. and it is even said the
propellers were taken to the palace to
prevent anybody making use of them.
When the Greek war broke out, and
daily runners came of the Greek feet
doing immense damage to Turkish
seacoast places, feeling arose that
the Turkish navy must be up and do
ing. and the sultan also saw that he
must make move. So orders were
given for the feet to get under way,
and all the mussels were scraped off.
the boilers patched with cement, and
the feet started. Not one of them was
seaworthy but they made fine show,
