G|AAT<T5AT[E
WAS PASSENGER
ON MOUNT HOPE

The steamer Mount Hope had an un-
usual passenger on its trip to this port
last evening from Block Island. 1t was
monster sea turtle weighing over 600
pounds which had been caught about 15
miles southeast Of the banks of the island
by fishermen.
The turtle was carefully strapped to the
deck with large ropes go that there was
no danger of ITS freeing itself. 1t is the
largest specimen that has ever been seen
in this port.
The turtle tipped the scales at 634
pounds 1t was purchased by j. II. Lewis
who serves the shore dinners aAong the
bay, and he is thinking OF placing 1t on
exhibition.
The turtle was caught Tuesday after
noon. The fishermen sighted ii some
miles away with it's head above the wa
ter. They. thinking that II was a sword
fish. lost no time in reaching the vicinity
where 1t was sighted. The monster ap-
peared about the surface OF the water,
and one member of the crew harpooned IL
in the neck, The turtle. when II felt the
sting OF the weapon dove deep into the
water. but the long line attached TO the
harpoon allowed the fishermen 10 follow
up their prey. For nearly a mile they
followed IL, and surrounded Il so that
they could get towing line about the
neck.
A vicious battle ensued. and several
times the monster turned on its side and
fought the men in the boat with one OF
its large fiippers. but they hung on TO
their capture.
The body of the turtle is about six feet
long and tapers down TO the tail 1t is
protected on it's back and stomach by
heavy bony shields.

INDIAN TRADCEDY
AT McDERMlTT
BELIEVING HER UNFAITHFUL,
NORTHERN INDIAN MURDERS
HIS WIFE IN COLD BLOOD
Buckaroo Jack Finds Ills Spouse at
the Camp of Ok Sam and Shoots
Her Through the Heart

Suddenly coming upon his wife CO.
habiting with Ok Sam at the latter 8
camp short distance north of the
town of McDermitt, last Wednesday
evening, Buckaroo Jack, boss of the
northern Indian sheep shearers, shot
her through the heart and killed her
instantly. From what can be learned
TO the tragedy it appears that the fire
jealousy has long been raging within
the breast of Buckaroo Jack over the
relations of his wife with Ok Sam, who
is captain of the northern Indians. He
had often accused his wife of a lack
of fidelity. Last Wednesday afternoon
shortly previous to the shooting he
had quarreled with her over her re-
lations with Ok Sam. Mrs. Buckaroo
Jack, loving Ok Sam more and her
husband less, stole horse and left
word with the husband that she was
going for good. She went directly to
the camp of Ok Sam, where she was
apprehended by her husband shortly
afterwards, and the tragedy ending
in her death resulted.
