Fortune Awaits n "yag."
Denver News.

When Richard Golding was taken into
the city jail on Friday night on a charge
of vagrancy and locked up in the bullpen,
he met a number of men there who told
him of good fortune. He was then in
rather straitened circumstances, not hav-
ing a cent of money. but the friends whom
he met there and had seen for the first
time I'm q year, told of a fortune of about
$4,000 which was awaiting him in Leadville.
An old miner in Leadville, whose name
is Kennedy O'Brien, Is, according to the
story, the godfather of Golding. The miner
is eighty years of age, and is preparing to
dispose of his property and getting ready
to die. He proposes TO leave all of his
estate to Golding, and has been trying to
locate him for the last year. Where the
young man has been or what he has been
doing none of his friends know.
Golding's mother. who lives near Thirty
eighth and Wewatta streets, has been try
Ing to keep the news of his good fortune
from her son, as she believes 1t will be his
~ruination. So far in the young mans life
he has had one continuous battle to fight,
and that rs the liquor habit. The mother
believes If he is given the large fortune he
will kill himself with drink.
On Friday Golding arrived in Denver. He
was promptly taken in by the police for a
"vag." An hour later a saloon in the
eastern part of Larimer street was raided
and a number of men found gambling were
taken to the station. One of them, when
he was placed In the Jail, recognized Goldine
and told him of the fortune which was
awaiting him. Yesterday Golding was re-
leased from the jail. and he Is making prep
a~rations to go to Leadville TO see his god
father and receive the fortune.
The mother believes that the large
amount of money will be the total downfall
of her son. His friends say IL is good luck
and they will help him have a good time
Was IL good fortune or bad which met him
in the bullDen?

AFTER THE "PEsKY DEVILS"
Bill and Tai Have Declared War ON
the Whole Whale Family.
Providence Journal.

IIOSiucuCC Il
Bill Hooper's thirst for whales blood is
still -unappeased and he declares his efforts
to land that animal will never cease till he
has a lcviathan high and dry on the shores
OF Block island. For some time fishermen
who rendezvous in the vicinity of the new
harbor have suffered considerable damage
TO their traps and nets, and they attribute
the injury to an animal which had been
observed for some time cutting up" and
enjoying itself immensely upon the food
in those quarters.
II naturally became the duty OF some
man with extraordinary nerve to rid the
water OF this capricious object, and that
person was either Tai Dodge or Captain
BILL" whose previous daring adventure in
search OF these Inhabitants of the briny
deep has given them vast experience in that
line of work or pleasure" as Tai calls IL,
and the fishermen decided to have Bill cap
ture or kill the depredator last Satur-
day.
Bits eyes began to snap fire when told
of the whale in Block island waters and
after inquiring as 10 the time and place

ity again, he started out with a look Of
determination upon his usually smiling
countenance and made for his schooner.
the Earl and Nettie, and Immediately put
out for the whales abode to bring his ex-
perience TO a climax
The Earl and Nettie is equipped with
a brass dynamite gun weighing about thirty
pounds, with a bore OF ~ inches. This
apparatus was installed early last summer.
Ordinarily both Tai and Bill are content
| with smaller game than whales.
One day early this summer the two cap
| tains were occupied, according TO the usual
| custom Of that time OF the season, I'm haul
| ing swordhsh. when they sailed among a
school of whales, which were devouring
great quantities of small fish. Bill drove
| his harpoon into the back of one of them.
To the spear was attached about 1000 feet
of line. The whale dived down deep into the
sea, taking witt him Tails harpoon and
line. The whale set a terrific pace for the
schooner. In vain did the crew try 10 hold
fast to the line, but the pace was too fast
| and they ~relinquished their grasp OF the
rope only after the friction of the line had
burned a groove an inch deep In the schoon-
] er's side.

boosted that he would capture a whale be-

that he would get the next whale IFS the
chase led him into a warmer climate shan

politically this Is ceratinly q warm place at
present. He purchased the whale artillery
and soon after 1t was placed on board the
schooner he and Bill went I'm search of the
'pesk devil that had confscated his har-
pooh line. -
They sailed about for hours in search OF
the school Of whales, which was reported
as spoutlng in the vicinity OF Wireless
Point, finally getting in among q school OF
four. The helmsman put the schooner
alongside one of the monsters at a distance
of about twenty feet. Bill pulled the Erig-
ger, sending a dynamite cartridge into the
whales back. The whale dived TO the bot
tom and a few seconds afterward the ex-
plosion took place Tai waited for Gays
and days for the leviathan 10 come ashore,
but his waiting was in vain. The whale had
probably been caught IN the current and
carried out to sea.
With these previous exasperating etpe-
riences in mind, Bill set out for the new
harbor TO dynamite the whale whose pun
dering OF fish and damaging OF nets had
caused the fishermen considerable anfoy-
ance. The schooner hove into position; for
action and a ~vigilant watch was maintained.
Bits wa~tchfulness was soon rewarded, for
the schooner had hardly been cleared for
action when the whale blowed. The STOUT
was that of a whale about thirty feel in
length, being considerably smaller than the
one that escaped with Tails line. for .Tal
swears he was fifteen fathoms long at least,
but what this latest arrival lacked I'm .size
he more than made good In vigor. He pusfed
up on the schooner's port side forward,
gulping mouthfuls of fish at every yav9:
Bill sent a charge of dynamite into the
whales side. AS he plunged down deep into
the sea, the explosion occurred a few rec
onds afterward: The whales playing groslnd
was Just outside of the breakwater, ana IL
is thought that the tide Is not stIbng
enough there TO carry the carcass OUT 10
sea. Bill is now pacing the north short In
hope of getting his prize, as Tai intendes TO
embalm the first 'pesky devil that cs.me
ashore. The whales coming is anxiossly
awaited.
