old Man KILLED by a TurkeY.

The story from Oklahoma of a 2-year-
old child being killed by a Plymouth
Rock rooster reminds one OF a tragedy IN
North Carolina. which is related TO-
lows: MANY years ago North Carolina
Judge. or ex-Judge-Judge Spencer Of
Anson-was killed by a turkey. He was
a very old man and was sitting in the
ward with a rcd skull cap on his head.
The red attracted the attention of the
turkey and angered it. and it flew upon
the wearer of the cap and pecked, spur

FOUR YEARS In
SOCIETY ISLANDS
Mr.. g. A. Breck's Description of Life in
POLYNESIA.
PoIynesIa.

Mr.. G. A. Brock, bookkeeper for the
Knickerbocker Ice Company, who
spent four years of his interesting and
somewhat varied career at Papeete,
the capital of Tahiti, from which the
report of the destructive hurricane
and tidal wave which visited the So
ciety Islands on Jan. IA was sent by
steamer and in which several Americans
persisted, gave an interesting description
last night of his travels around the
world, and of the Island of Tahite and
other islands of the South Pacific.
Mr.. Brock is a native of Fitchburg,
Mass and has been several times
around the world, having spent sew
eral summers and winters in the Arc
tic regions. He is a man of versa
tile talents. His experiences on his
many voyages would fill volumes. He
has most interesting collection of
photographs of the natives of Ia
hiti showing their war dances and
festivities, their huts, mountain scenery
etc. The natives, he says, are the
most honest people imaginable and
possess fine physiques. They are of
a light brown color and are typical
Polynesians.
The Island of Tahite is about ninety
miles long, forty miles wide and s 600
feet high in the center. Upon this hight
there is an extinct volcano and from
the center there run seven valleys. eX-
tending in all points OF the compass,
in which there are numerous streams.
The water supply, Mr.. Brock says. is
abundant in all of the Society Islands.
Breadfruit is not cultivated. 1t will
not grow if a white man lives under
it. The natives cultivate nothing for
their own sustenance. Everything
grows there spontaneously at all times
of the year. In addition to the abund-
ance of fruit and vegetables, they have
plenty of fish. They need never work.
There are never any violent storms
at Tahiti, said Mr.. Breck. Thunder
and lightning is never heard nor seen,
except on the mountain peaks. The
climate is the most equable on earth.
He never knew the temperature to be
above 80 or below 20 degrees while he
was there. In the low archipelago or
violent hurricanes in the summer sea-
son in the nature of what is known as
a typhoon. The Paumotu group is
long chain of low lying lands
The Society Islands to the southwest
are volcanic. surrounded by coral
reefs Scarcely anything else in the
Paumotu group but cocoanut trees
and bushes. There is very little fresh
water, the natives drinking the juice
of the fresh cocoanut.
The island of Tahite has been called
the garden spot of the world. said Mr..
Breck. Referring to his travels, he
continued:
II left New Bedford June 81. 1866.

mouth of the Congo river. From there

FOUND FOR PLAINTIFF.
Justice Naughtin Decided Note Suit
Case Heard Saturday.

Justice Naughtin Decided Note Suit
Case Heard Saturday.
Justice of the Peace Naughtin yester-
day morning rendered his decision, re-
served from Saturday in the case of d.
j. Morrison VS.. Francis P. Hart, a suit
on note for 500 given by Mr. Hart to
the Sprague Mercantile Agency of Chi
cago, Jan. q, 1902 The decision was in
favor of the plaintiff, and also effected
two other parties sued by the same
plaintiff upon similar notes, one in the
sum of 500 and the other for $50.
The case was heard Saturday morn
ing, the evidence being that Hart had
entered into an agreement with the
Sprague Agency, a collecting concern of
Chicago, to handle his back collections
in Savannah. for which he was to pay
500, his note for the amount having
been given.
The agreement of the Sprague Agency
entitled Hart to it's services for three
years with certain specifications, rela-
tive to collections, the amount to be COL
lected, etc. Mr.. Hart claimed that he
had sent the company business to han
die. but that he had never had salts
factory returns. In the meantime,
however. and before the maturity of the
note, Mr. Morrison, having need of such
service as that performed by the
Sprague Agency, purchased Mr.. Harris
note. The obligation of Mr.. Hart to
the Sprague concern was never met,
and Mr.. Morrison being held RESPONSE
BILE, sued Mr.. Hart for the payment of
the note. At the hearing Mr. Morri-
son was represented by Attorneys Alex
ander & Hitch, and the defendant by
Osborne & Lawrence, and at the close
of the arguments Justice Naughtin
withheld his decision.
The one ground for the verdict in IA
Vor of the plaintiff is based upon the
fact that the note was Shaved by Mr..
Morrison before it had matured, and
unless other steps are taken by the de-
PENDANT, Mwill have to comply with
the ruling of the court.
The other. two suits are identically the
same except that other defendants are
named and the ruling in the Morrison
Hart case effects them, their notes hav-
ing been given May and April Z, 1902,
respectively, and which were purchased
by Mr.. Morrison. the makers refusing
to meet the obligations on the grounds
that the services rendered them had not
been up to the promises made by the
Sprague Agency.
Several other cases of a like nature
have been before the courts for a find
ing, but they were settled without liti-
cation.

east to Behring straits Through the
straits we passed the Diomedes Icy
Cape to Point Barrow, the most north
ern point Of Alaska. We arrived there
in the summer of 1867 and left Point
Barrow in the latter part of Septem-
Der of the same year, for Honolulu.
about Christmas of 1867 we reach
ed the Equator and then travelled
westward, visiting many islands. Te-
mean, one of the 'Ladrone Islands, was
one of our stopping points, and from
there we went to Guam and thence to
Manila and the Philippines in the
winter of 1867 and 1868. Manila then
had a population of about 100, 000
After leaving Manila we started for
Yokohama and spent three or four
weeks there. Thence we travelled
north again, along the coast of ST.
IBERIA, through Behring straits into
the Arctic again. On this voyage our
vessel was stove by the ice, but we
finally got back safely to Honolulu in
1868
Then we made another trip south
ward, cruising in about the same lati-
tudes as the previous year, and made
the port of Nagaski, in Southern ia
pan, thence northward to the Arctic
for cruise in the summer of 1862

the fall of 1869 and anchored near
Plover Bay, Siberia, where we passed

tic. We then returned to Honolulu in
the fall of 1S70-left the whaler La
CODA at that time and entered the mer-
chant service, visiting San Francisco,
Yokohoma, Hong Kong, Manila, Java,
Melbourne and Sidney, Australia.
From the latter point we started for
San Francisco. After a brief sojoufn
there we went to Honolulu and from
there back around Cape Horn to New
Bedford, arriving there sometime in
