A Good Fish Story From Seattle.

A. p. Miehling caught a shark
in the harbor Sunday afternoon.
which weighs. according to Mr..
Meetings. story, 500 pounds.
Mr. Miehling is used to telling
fish stories, however 1t was he
who told of capturing about
seventy-6vc pounds OF deyllhsh
on the end of one of his fishing
lines a short time ago. Just to
prove it, he produced the devil
ash. and just to prove his shark
story, he Is ready to produce the
shark. In fact. he had it "n ex-
hibition on the water front yes
rerday afternoon.
Mr.. Miehling had 4 set line out
near the bell-buoy, when his
;harkship annexed himself to It.
lhe line was nearly quarter OF
an inch in diameter, and fully ca
pable OF holding even a shark
nine feet long, as the monster
proved himself TO be when hc
was finally landed. But the hook
on which he was caught was an
ordinary so, with a strong
shank.
The monster was pulled nearly
up to the boat before Mr.. Mich
ling realized what sort of a Gus
romer he had. He gatfed the
shark, and then proceeded to
throw a loop of rope about him,
Tor he would undoubtedly have
snapped the small hook. Then
! ne set out to tow the big fish
ashore, and a hard fight his prize
made. When he got into shallow
water the battle was but just BE-
gun. He splashed and fought,
and it took four men to drag
/ him up on the beach. He was
/ brought across the bay and was
placed on exhibition Yesterday in
/ front of fish establishment on
the water front.
A strange fact is that notwith-
standing the fact that he was out
/ OF his element the shark lived for
nearly twenty hours after he was
caught The presence OF life was
indicated by occasional convul-
sivc hops and movements OF the
tail or head. They may have
been merely shoulders at the
stories some of the people who
came to view him were telling Of
big fish that got away from
them. Some of these stories per-
haps were enough to make even
a FISH turn over in his grave.
The shark is probably the larg-
! est ever caught in Seattle harbor
/ if not in the sound. Mr.. Mich
I ling SAYS he is a man-eater- 1T
so, it is difficult telling what he
could have been doing in the
neiehborhood in which he was
caught. 1t has been suggested
that he was after the bell-buoy.
Seattle Daily Times.
The above may sound Ike a
huge fish store, bat if we should
give few proven facts of the
large number of fish caught by
our king of fisherman Mac, the
above story could then be easily

FIELDS AND MYERS
BATTLE POLICE
Neither Alleged Embezzler Has Been
Seen Since They Left
the City.

Vigilant search for weeks in almost
every city Of any size IN the United
States, Canada, Mexico and other
countries has failed TO give the local
police the slightest clue to the where
aDouts Of either Willard Myers. wanted
for embezzling 900 from the National
Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Com
pany. and Thomas Fields, lawyer, who
is said to have embezzled large sum
Of money from the Beneficial and En-
dowment Association
Nothing has been heard Of either II
! is believed both have left the United
States. The police have practically des-
! paired of apprehending them and moth
| ing is being done in either case at pres
ent.
II was rumored two weeks ago that
Fields had beer located in a Western
town. IT is said a detective went TO see
a man arrested as Fields. but nothing
came of the arrest. At the time Fields
absconded no warrant was sworn out
About two weeks ago a warrant was
| taken out IN the Police Court
As for Myers the police have heard
nothing of him and do not expect to
! locate him. He had too much start, ac-
cOrdirg TO Captain Boardman, and IL is

which would lead to his whereabouts
