DIR. HAMMOND HIT HARD.
Former Terrell County Man Has
Several Fire Losses.

DR.. J. II. Hammond, for a num-
her of years a well-known physi-
clan at Chickasawhatchee, but now
a resident of Enigma, has been the
especial victim of the fire fiend re-
Gently. The Triton Gazette gives the
following account of his recent Sc
ries of misfortunes:
THE residence of DR.. ]. H. Ham
mond, at Enigma, was destroyed by
fire Monday night about twelve
o'clock, with almost it's entire con-
tents.
But very little was saved, the
family barely escaping with their
lives.
ut is thought the fire originated
from the explosion of a kerosene
lamp. The loss was about $500,
with insurance to cover about half
that amount.
Or. Hammond and his family
have many friends through this sec
ton who deeply regret the occur
renee, which is little short of ca
lamity to them, as the family is left
entirely without clothing or bedding.
1T will be remembered that his
son lost his home last year by fire,
and that saw mill owned by the
two was burned few months ago,
none of them more than partially in
sured, the loss being almost total. .

the department responded prompt

have been caused by a match.

Bridegroom has nothing to do with the
groom. 1t Is from the old English word

were falsely regarded by the ancients as

elements, but they are not elements at
all. German silver has no silver In its

so deep that II there had been any kind
OF sea we'd have filled; but we kept well
astern and the men bai1ed while I hung
to the line and kept it In the crotch Of
the bow.
Right ahead Of Us was a kind OF a neck
Of land that reached out into the sea; we
saw that the fish would have to make a
big turn TO the right. and we made up
our minds that we'd get up to 1t or
break something: so when the water be-
gan to shallow and the hsa turned we
laid on and gave q heave- We never
started that fish an inch. but we did
run The boat up on 1t by sheer force OF
pulling. Three or four times the fish
tried to jump, but its strength was going.

big circle and kept our man at the steer

and the bow of the boat went under with
1t. nearly rolling US all into the sea.
By luck the men held on and we settled
down to a short heat, during which
reached the lance and gave the fish sew

a few minutes to tell 1t, but that fish
towed Us about II miles, mostly at a nigh
rate of speed, as fast / care to go In
an open boat. When we finished we were
or a sandspft, and we hauled the hsh in
out Of the reach of sharks and waited
until the schooner came up, then we
towed the devil-fsh a mile to her, hauling
1t up with block and tackle. The fsh
was about is feet across and had at the
head two armlike fms that It could throw
out and scoop food into its mouth that
was big enough to swallow a man.
No wonder the Dago pearl divers call 1t
the manta,. or cloak-fsh, az 1t looks like
a dark cloud passing over you. and the
diver could well imagine that y was
