Columbia, S. c., May 19.-While SEM
ing with some friends in a pond at
Lolo, Spartanburg county, yesterday,
Jonas Sanders, white man about 95
years old, became entangled in the
seine and before he could extricate
himself slipped into deep water and
was drowned.
A peculiar fatality seems to have at
tended Sanders fishing expeditions.
Several years ago he went fishing on
Lawson's Fork, several miles below
Spartanburg, carrying along some dy-
Mantle to throw into the water and
kill the fish. By some means the dy-
Mantle exploded in his left hand, which
caused him to lose that member. He

Cattle Stealing.


One source of immense trouble to the
cattlemen has been the calf thief. Many
large "outfit" has gone out of bust
ness on account of the ''rustler." Where
COW herders have to ride the range for
fifty or seventy-five miles they are like
ly TO be sfores tailed in branding a calf
by some vigilant rustler whose little
mountain ranch is near the usual graz
ing place of a bunch of cattle. Or very
possibly the puncher for the big &c
ranch has caught and branded the calf
with its proper mark: and when many
months later he rides on a vearling
branded BOB he has no means of
knowing that the owner of the latter
brand has deftly touched up the sc
with running iron by the artistic ad-
dition of two strokes and an added let
ter. 1t may be stated Internationally
in passing that more than one large
''outfit" of today got its start entirely
from ''rust1ed' cattle In the more arid
southwest rustling is not so common.
because most of the water is pumped.
and cattle get in the habit of coming
home often to drink and can be watch
ed more CLOSELY. but even there it is a
factor of no slight imDortance.-Leslie's

Howe's Moving Pictures.

The tidal wave which occasionally
sweeps UP the Severn river in England
is one of the greatest of all phenome-
ma. Lyman Fl. Howe was so i'm
pressed with it that he secured at con-
siderable expense a good moving pic
ture of it. 1t is the same picture that
was recently exhibited before the Roy
al Geogra phical Society of London.
There is an excellent view of the
tide coming on in the foreground and
again it seems right in front of the
spectator, sweeping its way over the
placid surface of the stream. 1t is a
picture which one will long remember
and is infinitely better than any print
ed description. There is also de-
lightful panoramic view of the scenery
along the river, which was taken as the
camera followed the tidal wave.
This phenomenon has been much
written about. You will have a chance
to see it from life at the Opera house
