JAS. +, MORGAN,
AUCTIONEER.

We're helpless as they had nothing
whatever to assist them in any way,
and all attempts to escape seemed
hopeless.
But as it happened F. J. Cross who
is connected with the Wireless Tele-
graph Company happened to want
something in the office. He proved to
be their angel of mercy, for through
him their escape was effected First
he went to the telephone and rang up
e. NJ Campbell of the Waterhouse
Trust Company who 'phoned that he
would be right down as the key to the
door was locked in his desk.
AS it happened however Harrison
and his friend did not give up their
schemes for escaping and finally they
decided that if they had a screw-driver
they could get out by taking off the
locks of the door. Cross after some
trouble found the necessary article
and passed it to the prisoners through
the bars With it they made a speedy
escape, and Mr. Campbell was inform
ed that he need not come down. The
men had been behind the bars just
thirty-five minutes when released.

sengers for Honolulu and has good
sized crowd of through passengers.
Among the through passengers is

Navy who is returning from service on

Extinction is Threatened.

Until comparatively short time ago
dWellers in alligator-intested localities
were prone to think OF the alligator
what the early, settlers in the West
thought OF the Indian-that there was
no good alligator except a dead alH-
gatCr. Dealers in alligator hides have
thought this too. but now that their
slaughter OF the saurians has reduced
them to 50 small a number. they are
becoming frightened at the possibility
OF there being nothing but dead alll-
gators IN a few years.
Before the trade IN. alligator skins
developed TO an extent where il was
highly profitable. the saurians were
killed chiefly for what sport there
was in it-poor sport at best, bv the
way-but when their commercial value
developed TO the point Of making traf-
nc in hides an industry. deadly meth
DDS We're devised for slaughtering them
by the wholesale.
The result was that where there
were aIligators in abundance in
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi. and
