inert, or by pressure of knee. The
autopsy showed that ribs had been
fractured, together with the breast
bone. Her clothing, the coroner said,
was not disaIranged in the slightest,

FIERCE MARINE BATTLE
Conflict Takes Place in the Ocean
Between Whales and Sword-
fish
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SANTA BARBARA, Nov 3.-The
bodies of over twenty dead whales,
known as "killers," are floating in the
channel off Santa Cruz island, thirty
miles from this city. The gigantic
corpses measure from twenty to forty
feet in length and bear mute evidence
of a fierce battle between the monsters.
This warfare has been going on be-
tween two varieties of whales and
swordfish for several weeks in the
ocean near the Channel islands and it
is probable that in the determination
of so many of this variety of whale a
signal victory has been won by some of
the leYiathans.

Adams Attempts Service

Finally, after many weeks of waiting,
the order of eviction was given to Jack
Adams, the redoubtable little deputy
who was rolled down a hill near Cole
grove by youngsters on Halloween
night. Adams went down there. He
started in a fearless manner, but when
he returned an hour later he looked as
though he had been down to stir up
Gen. Moore at the Union mission and
he had long story to tell Yes, he had
been down to the Woods home and had
actually found the place, but did Con-
stable de la Monte know that this Mrs
Woods was the mother of Billy, the
prize fighter? De la Monte failed to
see what the relationship had to do with
the eviction.
The order of eviction remained in the
constables office. Twice it became null
under the time limit and both times it
was renewed, but the deputies had seen
the well formed figure of Mrs. Woods
as she stood in the doorway of her home
and the stories of missionaries being
eaten alive in African wilds seemed
very real to them.
Thursday afternoon 1t was decided
to make another effort to set the
Woods household effects out in the
street Again Adams was sent to the
place, and in spite of his injured leg
he managed to return to the office with
the story of how his heart was touched
by the sight of a woman dying with
consumption. De la Monte issued or
ders to send an ambulance to the
place, remove the sick woman and evict
the tenants.
Another deputy carried the writ and
he left the office in high hopes of sue
cess. That was the last seen of him
until yesterday morning. When De Ia
Monte opened his desk yesterday there
was the order of eviction occupying g
prominent place among other lega
documents.

He picked it up and turned toward

deputy's features and the sight of his

his side, caused the constable to pause.

car failed to stop and as 1 caught hold

and my arm was injured"
The expression on the face of the
deputy was like unto the innocence of
childhood, and the other deputies tried
to look sympathetic, but De la Monte
gave a lecture on the sin of falsifying
and then filed the document of eviction
in a pigeon hole in his desk. Mrs.
Woods will probably remain just where
she is,

thirty-two years in one place the j.
A. Hopper Company is today moving
it's establishment from Fort street op-

long used as a warehouse.
The land it has occupied so long is

of the Federal service.
This land has a frontage of $50 feet
on Fort street and runs Eva 100 feet.
Adjoining it, makai, is another fifty
foot lot also taken by the War Depart
ment, but which was not occupied by

area was Territorial property which
had been under lease to the occupiers.

taken over by the United Stats for
the purposes of the War Department,
by Proclamation of the President, un-
