SUDDEN DEPARTURE.
Concluded from First Page

the purpose of placing it beyond reach
of creditors.
In each of the foregoing actions
against w. S. Haskell, order of at
tachment and garnishee was issued
against the property alleged to be in
the possession of the banks and cor.
porations afore alleged to have in
charge effects of the defendant, w. S.
Haskell, and the same have been
served by the sheriff.
According to report Mr.. Haskell has
not been in Bowling Green since Mon
day, Dec. %. On this date Mrs. Glib
bens, one of the Sanglier heirs, called
at Mr.. Haskells Office and made an
appointment with him to settle up
with her on Tuesday morning at eight
o'clock.
Mr.. Haskell stated that everything
was all ready to close up the estate
and that if she would come at that
time he would settle with her.
That afternoon he attended meet,
ing of the board of education and in
the evening after supper at his home
he went down town. 1t seems that
he went to Roger Brothers about ten
o'clock in the evening and cashed a
check for hundred dollars.
He took the north bound T. & o. C.
train and was last seen in Toledo at
the depot Since that time nothing,
so far as can be learned, has been
heard from him. According to the
suit brought by his bondsmen in the
| Sanglier estate, there is something
over $1,000 coming to the heirs. The
bondsmen have been sllirmishing
around and it is understood have
found assets almost sufficient to cover
the shortage.
Just what debts Mr.. Haskell may
have of another nature is hard to
state at this time. 1t is understood
that he had borrowed considerable
money at the various banks, giving
security either in the form of an en-
dorser or in some other manner. Mr.
Haskell was secretary of the school
board and handled the funds that
came in for tuition. There was gen
orally two or three hundred dollars
of this money in his hands. Mr.. Has
llell was secretary Of the Wood Coun
ty Fair company and the Wood coun
ty agricultural association but his ac
counts with these are said to be
straight.
The general impression is that he
was not so seriously involved that he
could not have taken care of every
thing without any trouble.
Mr.. Haskell's disappearance has
caused surprise among his friends
and though it had been known that ht
had gone away without leaving wore
as to his destination, it was confident
ly expected that he would be back il
a few days and arrange to take car,
of the Sanglier matter, the only on
which seemed to be pressing, and thi
was not urgent as Mrs. Gibbens wa
not in any particular hurry for he
money. 1t is believed that Mr.. Has
kell may have met with some acciden
and may yet be heard from or that h
has met with foul play.

The Spaniard Who Tried English.
There is a story much circulated
among sailors of the Latin nations
which usually falls fiat on Anglo
Saxons whose ignorance of French,
Spanish or Italian stands in strong
contract to the knowledge of English
so general among the Latins.
The captain of a Spanish ship had
lost his reckoning on account of sew
eral days of misty weather and storm.
I To correct this position the captain
determined to speak the first vessel
he met. This opportunity he had a
few days later when a strange bark
bore down on him. AS she drew near
the stranger showed British colors.
Now the bos'n of the Spanish ship
had often boosted knowledge of Eng
fish, so the CAPTAIN summoned him at
once TO interpret. The bos'n stationed
himself beside the captain on the poop
with a speaking trumpet ready for use.
The british. vessel pau0a with baiIipo
distance
NOW" said the Spanish skipper,
TASK what latitude we're in"
The truth was, the bosn real
knowledge of English was confined to
few vulgar swear words, but he de-
termined to bluff his way out of his
! dilemma.
Placing the mega phone to his lips
he bawled out hoarsely:
''Ho! bow-wo WOW wah!''
OF course, the British skipper failed
to catch his meaning and he roared
back:
WHAT"
what does he answer, bos'n %
asked the Spanish skipper, anxiously
standing ready with pencil and pad.
"Cuartro (four), captain" said the
bos'n. "He says 'cuatro.' -
Good" said the Spanish skipper
delightedly. Now ask him his long1-
tude.''
Again the bos'n bawled forth:
Hey! wow-wow- wow WOW wah!"
What We say?'" replied the Brit
Usher.
'Treinta-seis (thirty-six), captain .

the Importance of linguistic accom-

The Georgian and the Jap.
| Another story of a similar nature,
but peculiarly American, is told of a
Yankee tar aboard a man-o-wa in
Japan. The ship had anchored in Ma
| gasaki, and a native sampan man
came aboard. AS is well-known, the
| Japanese are the most courteous peo-
pie in the world, so, according to Gus
| tom, the sampan man, when met at
! the gangplank by a long, loose jointed
boy, bowed low and greeted him with
the universal salutation:

PRESUMPTIOUS ZEBRA KILLED.
Misguided Animal Kicked a Friend
~ Elephant Once Too often.

MABS fAhAnAAL EAlCAcu IA FrlehO-
~ Elephant Once Too often.
From the New York Sun.
Tommy the elephant which Bostock
the animal trainer, insists belongs to
the government, and which the govern
ment as steadily refuses to own, was
the hero of another exploit yesterday.
Since he wrecked most of the property
that was in his reach last week, he
has been living in a field near the Coney
Island Creek, where a shed has been
erected for his shelter. 1t was decided
to allow some of the show animals to
browse in that field, and yesterday sew
eral goats and three zebras were turn
ed loose IN the inclosure.
Tommy seemed delighted, trumpet
ing his JOY, and tried to make friends
with the newcomers. He succeeded
with all except one of the zebras. That
misguided animal kicked the elephant
repeatedly until every time Tommy
saw him coming he would turn so that
the ill-mannered stranger could strike
only his fat sides.
A crowded car was running along the
Boulevard and the motorman. seeing
the strange sight, stopped to allow his
passengers to watch the show The
fighting zebra became more ana more
angry and would strike Tommy harder
each time. and it was noticed that the
elephant began to vince when the hard
heeled little brute would strike him.
At last, just as though he had made
up his mind that the show should end,
and that he was tired of being butted to
make a Coney Island crowd laugh.
Tommy swung around and slapped the
charging zebra once with his trunk.
THO Zebra turned a full. somersault and
fell dead with a broken neck. The
other zebra and the goats were imme-
diately taken back to their former
quarters. because it was thought that
the angered elephant would try to Kill
them also The motorman started
his car, and the last its passengers
saw of the tragedy was Tommy stahu-
