AN OCEAN MONSTER
STRANGE CREATURE NATURAL
ENEMY or THE WHALE.
Writer In Forest and Stream Tells Of
VindietiVe Attacks Made on Com.
ParatlVeIy Helpless So Giants OF
the Coast Of Alaska.

While operating a fishery in Admir-
atty Island, Alaska. last summer my
attention and the attention OF the
fishing crew was almost daily attract
ed to large marine creature thai
would appear in the main channel OF
Seymour canal and our immediate
vicinity. There are large numbers OF
whales OF the species rorqual there
and the monster seemed to be their
natural enemy. The whales generally
travel in schools. and while at the
surface to blow one would be singled
out and attacked by the hsh. and a
battle was soon In order.
II is the nature OF the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals OF from
two to three minutes each. and then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur.
face for thirty or forty minutes. As a
whale would come to the surface
there would appear always at the
whal, right side and just about
w 're his head would connect with
tn ". great tail or fin. Judged
by -.- hermen and a number of In
dians after seeing it about fifteen
times at various distances. to be
about twenty-four feet long. two and
one-half feet wide at the end. and
tapering down to the water where It
seemed to be about eighteen inches in
diameter looking very much like the
blade OF the fan of an old-fashioned
Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the
back OF the unfortunate whale in such
a manner that It was a wonder to me
that every whale attacked was not In
stantly killed. Its operator seems to
have perfect control of it's movements
and would bend II back till the end
would touch the water. forming
horseshoe loop. then with a sweep II
would be Strengthened and brought
over and down on the back OF the
whale with whack that could be-
heard for several miles If the whale
was fortunate enough to submerge
itself before the blows came. the
spray would ny for a distance OF
hundred feet from the effect OF the
strike. making a report as loud as a
yachts signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable to me
was that no matter which way the at
tackled whale went. or how fast (the
usual speed Is about fourteen knots).
that great club would follow right
along by its side and deliver those ire
mendous blows at Intervals OF about
four or Ave seconds. II would always
get in from three to Ave blows at
each OF the three times the whale
would come to the surface to blow
The whale would generally rid itself
of the enemy when II took its deep
sound. especially II the water was
forty fathoms or more deep. During
the day the attack was always on
shore. but at night the whale would
be attacked in the bay and within 400
yards of the fishery.

MEANT A DUTCH TREAT"

Unique Dinner Invitation Which
Franklin Did Not Accept.
An interesting collection OF invita-.
tons To and from Benjamin Franklin
during his visit to England has been
placed in the University OF Pennsyl-
vania library. Among the letters to
FRANKLIN are some from the reerage
for great and for little dinners. but
perhaps the most interesting is one
f"om gentleman who described him
self as in lodgings" and unable to
entertain Mr.. Franklin at his home.
He therefore proposed visit to the
Star and Garter. and then went on to
say that he would order a dinner at IA
crown head. evidently expecting
Franklin to bear his snare. There is
no record of an acceptance.

PURSUED A BRUTAL RIDER.
Jockey at Valley City in Danger Of
His Life,

VALLEY CITY, N. D., July 19.-The
Barnes county fair closed a four days
session, it being the first county fair
ever held in Barnes county, and proved
very successful. The weather was hot
and the grounds dusty, but 10000 per-
sons visited the grounds in the four
days. The livestock exhibits were said
to be the best ever seen in the state.
The races were good and attracted
large crowds
A mob of men and boys tried to lynch
Ed Jones, one Of the drivers in a race,
for whipping his horse. The horse
failed to win race and angered Jones.
After passing the pole, he continued to
whip the horse around the course
twice. AS he passed the grandstand
each time, numerically whipping the
beast, he was Kissed and jeered.
AS he came around the third time the
horse was ready to drop from exhaus-
ton, and yet he piled the whip. A
mob went down the course to meet the
man and horse, declaring they would
lynch him.
Mayor Wood, who was mounted, rode
toward Jones ahead of the mob and
tried to get him to turn back He
would not. 1t took the entire police
force aided nv tho sheriff and his don.
uties on the ground, to get Jones away
from the mob. And at that, one Of the
deputies had to draw a revolver, Jones
was arrested and fined.
