IN A BLIND FURY THE MAN EATER DARTED
WITH OPEN JAWS BENEATH THE KEEL.
shark that battled in the tangle Of
their nets off Bolinas bay, says the
San Francisco Examiner: Armed only
with their heavy boathooks, the i'm
periled men swayed and staggered and
struck and stabbed for an hour.
Ghito and Cargnita had set their
nets, each nearly fifty fathoms long,
after dark on Sunday night At day
break they rowed out to gather In their
haul. The first net they found torn to
ravelings, and 80 Of course emptied Of
its catch. The second net, apparent
" full Of fish, became unusually hard
to handle before it had been half
drawn up. The end pulled in was then
made fast to a thwart, and the boat
was taken round to the end which was
still submerged.
This second end had been no sooner
seized than it was torn from the fisher
mems hands, and in another instant
the two men were gazing google eyed
at a great shark which shot up beside
them wrapped in the nets mesh
Ghito, realizing that In this appari-
ton lay the secret Of the first nets de-
sruction and the loss Of the whole
nights catch, angrily caught up. one Of
the boathooks lying in the bottom OF
the boat and brought it crashing down
upon the sharks head. With one te-
mendous flop, either Of rage or pain,
the slimy poacher struck tho boats
PROV with his tail The boat whirled
about like top. Ghito, with cry OF
terror, was jerked from his feet and
fell backward across the gunwale, al
most topping into the sea and the red
death that there awaited him.
Cargnita, who, being ON his knees,
had better kept bis balance, pulled bis
mate back to safety with one hand
and with the other buried the STEEL
harpoon-hke end Of the other boathook
into the white belly which had been
turned skyward in anticipation Of prey.
Again the shark plunged nightly;
again the boat rocked and spun; again
the two desperate fishermen chung to
whatever would keep them from going
overheard.
As the end Of the boathook left the
sharks flesh blood spurted after 1t,
and the spray cast aloft by the thrash
Ing tail suddenly turned crimson. In
a blind fury the man eater once more
displayed his loathsome belly and dart
ed with open jaws beneath the keel.
Then, even as the boat careened In the
grip Of those powerful teeth, Cargn1ta
stabbed and Ghito dubbed more muir
derously than before.
In this way, with give and take, with
life always In the scales, with victory
imminent first for the fishermen and
then for the frenzied thing they s1ove
to kill, the battle continued for one
long, wild, exhausting hour. But In
the end the shark was mastered, bleed
ing from hundred gaping wounds and
robbed Of free movement by the long
streamers Of the torn net which wrap
ped him round. So, with rope about
his head, he was brought to Fisher
mems wharf, where he died.
The shark was one of the true man
eating variety, the isurid, with teeth
three inches In diameter at the top.
he was eleven feet long and weighed
10o0 pounds, and when he was cut
open his captors found in bis stomach
300 pounds Of sea bass. he was cut
no for the medical exigencies Of Chi.

City council did q good thing when
they drew q tight rein on the habit OF
keeping stores open and selling on Sum-
day. This state of affairs had gotten en-
tirely too common here.
~
Our information is that the people OF
Marion county are not so well pleased as
they imagined they would be after the
dispensary was voted out. Well, if they
are not satisfied, they can vote 1t in
again, but We hardly think they will do
this.
The Lucas faction in the Laurens cot
ton mill fight made proposition to the
Nilliken interests to buy or sell stock at
q stated price; that is, they would sell
their stock at the price of $40 share or
buy the Milliken stock at the same figure,
an eminently fair proposition. This offer
the Milliken side refused, but offered to
buy stock at $3.50 share. There is un-
fortunately no law to compel them to
deal them fairly in this matter, but there
should be, and the legislature should pass
such bill at its next session. There IS
no telling when there will be repetition
of this state of affairs in South Carolina

OF the team are confident OF duplicating
the victory which they scored over Pom

The team which will meet NJ. |. T. today
is by no means OF the calibre OF many
former Brown seVens which have landed

ON THE BOWLING ALLEYS.

A new arrangement has been made at
the Central alleys for bowling in a new
game called pony duck pins" The three
pool tables formerly occupying the space
at the left OF the regular alleys have been
removed and in their place four tables
OF convenient height have been sub
stituted for a new game.
The tables or alleys are 20 feet long
and are scaled exactly in proportion with
the regulation bowffng alleys in regard
To size.
Instead OF delivering the ball with his
hand the player uses a cue in this game.
the same as in a game OF billiards or
pool and no doubt those accustomed to
that kind OF sport will find many chances
to develop their skill in making strikes
and spares and running up high singles
and totals In the near future.
1t is stated that a tournament is soon
to be formed among the bowling enthu-
siasts with regular playing schedule.
Heary's rollers took two games from
Banks players in the Central tournament
