WOMAN TACKLES
A BIC TURTLE

a native woman returning the other
evening from a search for squid along
the Kalia flats. made a queer catch.
When some distance from the shore
she noticed a large, black object NOV
ing slowly through the shallow water.
Investigation proved it TO be a tur-
tie about one hundred pounds in
weight. AS soon as the creature saw
the woman it scooted seward, but
was unable, owing to the shoal water,
to make rapid progress.
The woman tried TO stop the turtle
by grabbing it by a ripper, but was
dragged along by the brute. Finally
she succeeded in turning it on its
back, in which position it was quite
helpless.
With assistance from the shore, the
woman managed TO get her prize
home, where it was speedily dispatch
ed and cooked.
The stranding of turtle along Ka-
liza flats is an event of rarity.

1CAR-FbCED JACK
Gets SIXTY DAYS

Jack Number One, the South Sea Is
lander who relates tales of cannibal-
ism in moments of weakness induced
by the flowing bowl, was up before
the Police Court judge yesterday
morning on the old charge of drunk
enness, He had little to plead in the
way of extenuating circumstances and
was sent down for sixty days. Jack,
who must not be confused with Kinau
Jack, is one of the few remaining
South Sea Islanders in the Territory
and can be distinguished by the fanci-
ful manner in which his face is mark
ed, curving scars running fanwise
from the corners of his mouth back
to the temples. He is in Jail oftener
than he is out.
The Police Court calendar was light
yesterday for a Monday morning,
three Porto Rican Migrants being sent
TO Jail to work out ten-dollar fines,
one drunk besides Jack going TO the
reef and one having his sentence sus-
pended, Peter NJ. Azevido being fined
so and costs for assault and battery,
and one youth, John Kaaihue, con-
victed of larceny, being sent to the
reform school.

Saline May Be Improved.

United States engineers have just completed an examination of the Saline river, starting in about 90 miles below Benton. The government sur veys name the Saline river as naVi- gable stream. and that it is so con sidered by the railroads is shown by the fact that the Rock Island is build ing a drawbridge across it about eleven niles west of Grossett. The government engineers who made the examination express surprise to find the Saline possessed such a head of water They found stretches in the river about four miles long in which the average depth of water is about F feet. The river is badly clogged in many places, but t appears as if the clearing of the channel would render a fairly good head of water at most seasons of the year.

Frisco Buys Bridge.

The Fort Smith and Van Buren Bridge Company has conveyed to the St Louis and San Francisco Railway Company the bridge across the Arkan- sas river between Fort Smith and Van Buren. The consideration named in the deed is $500,090. This bridge was built in l8S6 and as it's officers Were closely identified with the directorate of the Frisco system, it was simply corporation within a corporation. The Iron Mountain has paid a minimum rental of $1000 per month to run their passenger trains over the bridge between Fort Smith and Van Buren ever since the completion of the struc. ture. and it is believed here that before their lease expires in 1911 they will have a bridge of their own at this point and over which the Cur don branch will connect with the cen tral division of the system.
