SHIP OYERRUN
BY CENTIPEDES
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 3-One billion legs
cavorted to-day through the hold OF the
steamship Satsuma, carrying ten mil
lion wiggling centipedes. The crew OF
the vessel had been kept from mutiny
only by the establishing of a centipede
watch, during which q Chinese killed
as many of the pests as possible and
drove others back to the bales of rat
tan and bundles of hemp from which
they had emerged. One python and
two monkeys are on the roll Of the
missing. They jumped into the sea to
escape the centipedes.
The Satsuma came from Manila and
Yokohama, but 1t is believed she did
not take aboard centipedes in any large
numbers until she received consign-
ment of rattan at Singapore. She was
hardly out of that East Indian port
three days when the first centipede
came up through ventilator.
To ventilate the hold a hatch was
left open and that very night cent?
pedes came on deck and basked in the
moonlight. They sat by thousands on
the combing watching a company OF
their fellows dancing in bewildering
tarantella movements to throbs OF the
engines.
The Chinese, who had no fear in his
heart, was sent to brush those cent?
pedes away. At the pass of his broom
they formed into brigade and while
a hundred or so covered the retreat
by making diversion in the direction OF
the bare feet of the Chinese, the others
leaped into the hold. The rear guard
then put the matches down and made
them prisoners.

door, still keeping the cashier and his
assistant under cover. From the bank
they ran TO the Southern Pacific Rail
road, close by, and disappeared up the
track
Poerman, as soon as the robbers left
the bank, sounded an alarm and In a
brief time almost the entire male popu-
lation Of the town had turned out en-
masse. Posses were hurriedly formed
and, armed with rifles belonging TO the
local militia company, they started In
all directions in search Of the robbers.
Inside of an hour they had the Two
bandits located in Lonney's swamp,
just outside the city limits. Hurried
calls were sent for posses which mad

swamp was quickly surrounded on four
sides by large numbers of armed men
