A SEA SERPENT.
on Exhibition at Newport-Fishermen
Caught II in the ocean-Its Teeth
and Tushes.

Those who went ON the excursion TO
Newport Sunday returned eloquent in
description Of a sight they had Of a
sea serpent that was caught on Friday
in the ocean Off Newport, and which
was on exhibition by a local butcher at
10 cents a look. Though small, the
monster, according to all accounts,
made up in appearance for all 1t
lacked in dimension. IL was five feet
four inches in length. It's body was
only about a foot long, and It's head,
less. All the remainder was tail, and
such a tall All along its entire length
IL had queer appearing fms, evidently
used in locomotion. The same exeres-
eneces appeared IN the body,
It is the head, however, that is the
stunning part of this unusual and I'M
slightly ocean reptile. Though it look
ed like nothing anybody ever saw, the
head mostly resembles that Of a dog
There are two big eyes as large nearly
as those Of a human being. Their stare
is described as enough to raise the hair
on A bald head. There is a nose some
what like a dogs nose, and a mouth
with rows Of big, sharp teeth. Near
the front of the mouth there are huge
tushes. The sublime effect Of all this
combinations is, that a weak nerved
man, should he be in the act Of pulling
the thing out of the water with his
hook and line, would after one hurried,
startled p~aralyzing glance, be likely
70 let loose all holds and jump over
board. That, at least, is what a Cor
wallis man said who had paid 10 cents
for look at the thing.
The serpent was caught by a member
of a party out deep sea fishing Friday
II is on exhibition at a local butcher
shop in Newport at 10 cents a sight
and many people are paying the fee to
see the thing. One returning Passen-
ger said that the butcher, when be was
there. had deserted his knives ana

COAL
MINES
Southern Pacific Invests in
Coal Lands and Water
Front on Coos Bay

News comes from Portland that the
glasgow coal mines including over a
mile Of water front and three thousand
acres of land situated on the bay Just
opposite North Bend, have been sold.
It is understood that the Southern Pa.
cihc company is the purchaser and that
the price paid was about three hundred
thousand dollars.
II has been known for some time
that a corporation known as the Pacific
Coal and transportation Company, in
corporated under the laws Of New Jer-
sey with a capital stock Of i, 500, 900
has had an option on the property. The
directors of this company are Phil
Metschan, president, ex-state treasurer
of Oregon; Henry l.. Pittock, manager
Of the Portland Oregonian; Richard
B. Knapp, merchant, Portland; VIM.

land.
Coal experts estimate that the gross
tonnage In the Glasgow property will
exceed fifteen million tons.
If the report should be true that the
Southern Pacific is the real purchaser
of this property, it proves that the
Hartman line means business, for in
the Glasgow property they get all the
fuel they need, with a mile of water
frontage for docks and warehouses and
several hundred acres Of tide lands for
track yardage for their railroad ter.

Suffering From Justification, II 10 I'm
possible to Break His Neck.
Chicago. Oct 10.-Because OF pc
culiar freak of nature, Robert Gar
diner. a prisoner in the county Jail
here. charged with the murder OF Ag
mes Morrison, may escape the death
penalty. When he was arraigned In
court his attorney, William Buckner
startled the court by turning to AS
sistant States Attorney Barbour and
SAYING. This is a case where 1t won't
do you any good TO ask for the death
penalty. They can't break this mans
neck if they do try to hang him and
you may lose him altogether by hang
ing him and failing to execute the sen.
tence in full" 1t appears that the
prisoner is suffering from Justification
of the vertebrae and tissues OF the
neck. According to Professor Steffen-
son. of Rush Medical College, only
FIVE cases similar have ever come TO
the notice OF the medical profession.
Attorney Buckner declares that the
hardening of bone and tissue has pro
ceeded so far that 1t would be impos-
sible to bring any strain upon the pa
tents neck that would be sufficiently
severe to cause any discomfort other
than a slight straining Of the muscles.
