IN A WHALE SCHOOL
A Minnesota Man Gets Tangled Up
With a Big Bunch Of

He Thought They Were Tuna and

Y The Los Angeles Times has applied

twenty-five miles off shore from the Los
Angeles seaport, and serves it every morn
ing with small press report sent over

a paper could hardly appear in any part
OF the world without having something
about Minnesota man in it. The first

little paper at Avalon: +. .-. .

water fishing yesterday. When a passing
launch hailed the Catalina, from which
they We're fishing and inquired after their
luck, Mr.. Flesh replied: When 1 get the
have four. But not getting the one he
was waiting for, the skipper deserted
something breaking water on the horizon
line, which he took to be tuna, and started
for them. The fish were making away
from him and he had a lively chase OF
five or six miles before coming up with
them, when he discovered they were chas-
ing an enormous school of whales. The
big leviathans surrounded them on al
sides, sending great streams of water and
spray into the air, as many as fifty OF
sixty of their huge bodies being visible
at time, and they appeared to spread
over the surface of the sea for miles
Attracted by curiosity, the cetaceans be-
gan gathering about the little boat, which
appeared as only a toy in the presence OF
the mammoth fish, and as they pressed
about the craft spraying them with the
spoutings, the anglers were only too glad
to part company with them and escape
to open water. Some, of the big fellows
ranged from 60 to 80 feet in length

OFFERS PREMIUM
FOR BONDS.
Davenport Man Bids For Court
House Bonds.
Brisk Competition Promised and Bonds
Will Sell Well Matter Placed
With County Treasurer.

Those who feared Crawford County
would have difficulty in selling it's
court house bonds at par should go
way back. Not only has there been no
difficulty but there is now promise of a
lively competition whicn may send the
premium to a substantial figure We
are informed that the first offer made
was to take the bonds at par. On yes
terday Mr.. Bechtel. representing capi-
tallsts of Davenport, offered premium
of 5000 for the issue, and also to furnish
the bonds themselves, an expense esti
mated at $3.50.
The board has also been notified that
Chicago parties intend to bid for the
bonds and the price is apt to go still
higher than Mr. Bechtel's offer The
board decided on Thursday to place this
important matter of selling the bonds
in the hands of the county treasurer.
he interest taken in the bond sale by
different capitalists proves that Craw
ford's credit is gilt edge and further
that there is no such stringency in the
money market as predicted by many
