SURE ENOUGH SEA SERPENT
Two Nasuralists Saw the Creature and
Made Sketch Of It.
CHICAGO Tribune.

English scientists AFRO discussing with
lively interest a sea serpent seen and
sketched off Para, Brazil, by E. b.
Meade and NJ. J. Nicoll, well-known
English naturalists. who described the
creature at recent meeting of the
geological society in London. The nat.
uralists were standing on the deck OF
the yacht Valhalla at 10 am: when
they were attracted by sail-like OBJ.
iect some four feet long and two feet
high. waving from side to side in the
water. When they turned their glasses
on the object there appeared huge
eel-like neck, some six feet long and
as thick as mans thigh. This neck
was surmounted by great turtle-like
head, with large eyes. After few min
utes the head, which had stood high
out of the water, as if the owner were
inspecting the ship, was lowered to the
level Of the sea and violently dashed
from side to side. churning the sea into
great sheet of foam.
During the following night the object
was again seen. this time by the look
out and the officer of the deck. II
was then travelling in the same direc
tion as the ship, but going faster, the
| ship being under speed Of only eight
and half knots.
| The description of the creature tai
lies with the sea serpent seen by the
officers of the British warship Daed
alus in 1S4s. That serpent exposed it.
whole length of sixty feet on the sur
face. The meeting Of the geological
society which heard Messrs. Meade ani
Nicoll' s account is described as s'lis
tening with breathless excitement,
and the member who writes an account
of the meeting for q London papet
concludes with the statement: ssSeri
ously, we can no longer regard the Sc.
serpent as myth"

wood a former postman, now violently
insane, entered the police headquarters
this afternoon and at the point of a
revolver held up the chief and seven
officers for fifteen minutes while he
vented his insane wrath in deluge OF
curses. After threatening to kill the

cause of snapped cartridge, he backed
out of the station.
Within an hour after the hold up
Haswood appeared near his home on
Bigelow street and entered the resi-
dence of a Mrs. Montgomery, whom
he knocked down with the butt of his
gun. Taking a shotgun and revolver
from this house he barricaded himself
in his own residence, few doors fur

standing off a squad of police who sur
