TELLS A TALE
OF HARDLUCK
Domingo Ferreira and
His Little Bit of
Blood.

Domingo Ferreira, the horseman, ha:
troubles of his own. He generally has
by the way.
It appears that a week ago he lost a
sorrel horse and try as he could, was
unable to locate the blonde nag.
On Tuesday afternoon, while driving
in a buggy near Kamehameha Schools,
he came across the lost equine, being
gall ,ed at full speed in the direction
of town, by sailor.
Domingo gave stern and hard chase
and caught up with the flying horseman
on Liliha street He escorted both
horse and sailor to the police station.
The rider explained his connection
with the horse by saying that it had
been hired out to him by local livery
stable keeper. This story satisfied
Ferreira and the tar was released.
The owner of the pony then visited
the Iiveryman and demanded to know
how he had obtained possession of his
property. The stabIe-keeper stated

him not to give the poor beast home
and had accordingly annexed him and
hired the beast out when opportunity
presented itself, in order to give the
animal chance of preserving its self
respect by giving it chance to earn
its keep.
Domingo thanked the stableman ana
said he guessed he'd ride the little bit
of blood home
Not on your life" was the reply.
".You paw me for his feed since he's
boarded with me and then you can take

Domingo thinks that he has been
very hardly dealt with, particular as

face of frozen water. Then there is
the incompetent form of race-horse,
derisively termed a skate. And finally
there is the skate that you have on.
It follows that if a man with a
skate on and carrying a skate home for
supper, rode down to the skating pond
on a skate to see if he could have any
sport with his skates (the other skates)
but that is another story. It is the
Aquarium skate that at present in
yites consideration.
1t is rarely that a skate or as the
natives call il. hihimanu, puts in an
appearance at the Aquarium, so when
a Japanese brought in one a week ago,
the manager of the local fisheries glow
led with satisfaction.
1t was not big skate, as skates go,
being about a yard long, trifie short
of the same distance across, and sport
ing a fve-foot tail. 1t was placed in
the tank with the turtle. but refused
to take any pleasure in life and finally
passed in its checks a couple of days
after it had been first billed as an
Aquarium attraction
The skate is known TO scientists as
the sting ray. AT the base of its caudal
appendage are a couple of sharp spines
which are exceedingly unpleasant TO
brush against when bathing. resulting
as they do in a nasty wound which
takes a long time to heal.
The fish is also known as the dia-
mond fish. on account of the shape of
its body resembling that of a diamond.
It is of sportive inclination and loves
to leap from the water at time of sun
set and fall back on the fiat Of its body,
this curious maneuver causing a report
like gun.
Sometime ago an immense ray was
brought to the Aquarium. It was said
by natives who saw it to be devil
fish which had lived in a cave under
Diamond Head for hundreds of years.
Its tail was broken off and only
stump remained but this was of great
diameter, indicating that the original
length of the member must have been
indeed great.
1t pinned to death in captivity and the
natives along the beach
burned fires all night long to propi-
tate the wandering spirit of the great
dead hihimanu.

There is little question as to guards

COULDN'T COMPETE
AGAINST SPLAWM'S HERO
Canadian Stock Breeders Unable to
Compete with Yakima Man at
Westminster Fair.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Splawn returned
home this week from Westminster,
B. c., where they exhibited their fine
Hereford stock. The cattle were
shipped from Sumas last Saturday.
and should be in Spokane now for
the fair at that place, but up to Tues
day morning Mr.. Splawn had heard
nothing from his stock.
While in Westminster the cattle of
Mr.. and Mrs. Splawn took nearly
all the prizes in sight. In fact, the
Canadians were outclassed entirely
by the cattle from the Yakima coun-
try. Mr. Splawn got fourteen first
prizes and three seconds, in addition
to four grand championships and also
four championships. To add to this
brilliant showing, he captured the
silver cup for the best display herd
on the grounds. 1t was given by the
Hudson Bay Company, and some of
the British Columbia exhibitors pro-
tested against giving it to an Amer
lean. They claim it was not intend
ed for foreign exhibitors. The Short
horn breeders made this complaint,
but it is believed the fair commits
sioners will decide to give the cup
to Mr.. Splawn.

SLEW THREE BEARS
WITH ONE CLUB
John BlalOck Is Of the Opinion that
the Club is Mightier than
the Bear.

The following interesting bear
story demonstrates how effectively a
man can use club when self-preser-
walton demands:
TO be attacked in the woods of the
Southern Oregon mountain wilds by
three bears, each appearing in rapid
succession, and to meet and Stay all
of them openhanded, is an experience
that comes to but few, but such was
the experience of John Blalock, a
miner in north Josephine county.
Mr.. Blalock operates placer
claim on Grave creek, near Leland,
and makes regular trips to the rail-
road station for his mail and sup
plies. 1t was while on the way home
from one of these trips that he met
the three bears.
While he was passing through the
peared across the trail, and, squat
ting on his launches, defied the min
err to attempt further progress. AL
though Blalock was not armed, he
accepted the bears challenge forth
with, using heavy club. 1t was
might against might, but the man
and the club won the day.
Blalock then started on his home
ward way. but had only gone a short
distance when a second black bear,
equally as big as the first, and just
as anxious to fight, stood in his path.
This one was also met, and in due
course suffered the fate of the first.
Blalock again took up his bundles,
when No. 8, in the shape of huge
cinnamon bear. came as did the other
two, and stood in the miners path.
Though his strength was well-nigh
spent, BlalOck mustered courage to
meet the defiant cinnamon, and then
promptly began battle with apparent
ly increased vigor. 1t was hard
fight and a long fight, with much
blood shed on both sides, but again
the man with the club won the day.
Blalock now goes armed when he
leaves his cabin. for the three pelts
stretched drying in the sun on his
cabin wall are an eloquent reminder
of three events in his life that he has
no particular desire to repeat

to be placed, and the progress of the
work will depend upon the force of
men engaged.
The plant being constructed is to
be an acetylene gas plant. John Nor
ris of the Acetylene Contracting Com
pany has been engaged to rush the
work through as fast as possible. Mr.
Morris has just completed putting in
a similar system at Dayton, Ia, and
he has been doing this work Tor the
same company for several years past,
meeting with the best of success.
The plant to be constructed in this
city will be what is termed a 5000
foot plant, and will furnish 10000
lights of % candle power each. The
mains will be of different sizes, rang
ing from one to four inches. With
reference to what fuel amounted to
in acetylene gas, Mr.. Morris referred
his inquisitor to plant which he
had established in Bonham. Texas,
that is now giving satisfaction.
Since the commencement of opera
tions of the acetylene people the ques-
ton has been raised as to whether
or not it will hav- any effect upon

seem to favor a water or coal gas
plant, which is said to be superior to
acetylene for fuel purposes. 1t is
