bATHER SEIZED
BY POWERFUL
DEVIL FISH

SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-Seized
around the legs by devil fish, {.
c. Morgan, a camper at Alki Point,
had to fight for his life in the water,
q hundred feet from shore.
Part of the time the fight with
the vicious fish was carried on I'M
der water. Had he not been an ex'
ceptionally large and powerful man,
Morgan would have lost the fight
and have been dragged down, AS
1t was. his legs were badly bruised
and lacerated below the knees, and
he was exhausted when he reached
safety.
Morgan was bathing about $50.
He swan out some 800 feet and
then started for shore. When in
about five feet of water, something
grabbed his leg. Thinking that it
was merely seaweed. Morgan kick
ed loose and let his feet sink to the
bottom, intending to wade in.
In a moment, Morgan was seized
by both legs below the knees and
discovered that he was in the grasp
of a devil fish. He struggled to
keep his footing and shouted for
help, but was dragged under water.
Digging his fingers into the sand
and gravel of the bottom, Morgan
tried to prevent the devil fish from
pulling him out of his depth. The
fish. however. was stronger than he
and was towing him into deep
water, when by the exercise of all
his strength, he spread his legs and
broke the hold.
Desperately, Morgan struggled
toward sore and managed to gain
several yards before the devil fish
reached him again. The coiling
tentacles grasped his legs. but by
powerful struggles Morgan broke
away each time and fought his way
nearer the shore. AS the water be-
came shallow, the power OF the
devil fish seemed TO lessen and in
three feet of water, the fish aban'
doned the fight.
other campers at the beach saw
Morgan's struggles, but were unable
to help him. When he first called
for help, they thought he had been
taken with cramps. No boat was
available and the struggle was over
before anyone had done anything to
aid Morgan.
A doctor, who is camping near
the beach, attended Morgan last
night, and he is resting easily to-
day. Both legs are badly swollen,
presumably being poisoned by con-
tact with the tentacles of the fish.

LORD ROBERTS CALLS
FOR MAYOR MOORE

Street Commissioner ONO was
busy at his desk this morning when
he was startled by the demand
Say, where's tn mayor!"
ONO looked up-then he got
scared for he couldn't see anyone.
He was about to stoop and look
under the desk when the voice con-
tinued:
Here I ami"
And sure enough, there he was. a
little man with an old face for the
size of his body.
1t was Lord Roberts, the 1919
pound dwarf with kingling Bros.
circus. Roberts Is collecting the
autographs of all mayors in the
United States and wanted that OF
Mayor Moore. ONO accommodated
him by cutting the mayors sigma
ture out of letter to the board of
public works. Roberts is 20 years
old and is not deformed in the
least He has large, sad-looking
brown eyes. He don't appear to be
in good health. His bump of curl
osity is large and he inveigled. the
commissioner into showing him
over the city hall, through the Jail
and fire station No. Z.
When passing through the Jail
corridor 1 towsled headed bum
blurted out: Hi, dere m'lud, go
git de boss an tell him Bones is in
de city pesthouse fer drunk!"
Roberts said he would.

POLICE FAIL TO
FIND BURGLAR

The police were notified at
o'clock this morning that burglars
were in the King grocery on the
corner of N. Monroe ST. and Max
we'll av. All the available patrol
men were loaded into the wagon
and haste was made getting to the
grocery. When the police arrived
all was serene. The store doors
were all locked and windows
barred.
The proprietor was routed out of
bed and said that so far as he knew
everything was all right. Some
practical joker, the police believe, is
responsible.

have left the school with the ont
going class, and Miss Ethel has de-
cided TO forego graduation and have
her season at the White House.
While at the present Miss Roose-
welt is an attractive and bright girl,
she Is far from being as dashing as
her older sister. She is not likely
to bring upon herself so much com.
ment, favorable and adverse, as
Miss Alice attracted. She is quite
different In many ways She has
not the genius nor does she care so
much for clothes; she is not given
to athletics, nor has she gone In for
fancy dancing or any form OF diver
sion affected by the so-called smart
set. 1t is probable that her season
will be more conventional, even
though 1t may be less brilliant, than
that of the now famous Mrs. Long

morning for their homes at Sacramento.
after having devoted several days to de-
tails connected with the development of
the property.
1t is the intention of the company to
thoroughly open up the estate. To thu t
end campaign has been outlined that
will prove the extent of the ore bodies,
which, OH the surface, are particularly
attractive.
The direct visit of the gentlemen was
the putting to work OF a force of men,
which will be added to from time to time
as occasion warrants.
The Homestake carries both gold and
copper values and at the present time
might truly be classed as preferred
prospect. Behind the development are
strong Sacramento capitalists, who have
the greatest faith in the future OF the
property.

RAILROAD GOSSIP

There are but few new developments
in railroad circles to record this week
concerning the line which Hartman in
tends to build from Wabuska to Benton
in order to gain an entrance into Los
Angeles in the quickest possible time.
The financial furry has evidently di-
verted the attention of the great mag
nate temporarily to other quarters. How
ever, it is but the matter of time until
active construction shall commence.
The program as outlined at present
has as its object the construction of a
spur from the main line about there
miles north of Wabuska to the Nevada
Douglas properties, the main line leav-
ing the branch between Wabuska and
the mines to take its course through
Yerington and Mason Valley.
A gentleman well informed in rail-
road circles visited Yerington this week
In conversation with Times man, he
said he believed the line would be built,
although he asked as favor that his
name be kept out of the prints.
There is every reason to believe that
the line will actually be constructed.

Rev. DIR. Beatty, pastor of the Meth

The sound of the saw and hammer is

down artificial stone sidewalks. and iii

vancing on the principal streets. When
the walks shall be completed no city in

pearance 1t is greatly desirable that all
walks be down this fall.
The Leavitt and Lam stone buildings

will doubtless be followed by others of
similar grade.
lii relation to the mines / cannot
speak fro II personal observation, as
other duties have prevented visits to
them. but reports are all favorable to

The purchaser, Mr.. Karaus, comes to

work being too difficult for him to adjust
satisfactorily. He solicits a share of the
public patronage and i'll turn guarantees
his work to give eminent satisfaction.
