HIS OWN BAIT.
The Giant Alligator Swapping Turtle
e as Fisherman.

The Giant Alligator Swapping Turtle
Is as a Fisherman.
There is a canny reptile fisherman
which makes effective use of the bait
which he carries in his own mouth.
This is the alligator swapping turtle, a
giant among reptiles, known to attain
a maximum weight Of IA pounds, with
length of shell of about twenty eight
inches. 1t haunts rivers flowing into
the gulf Of Mexico, including the Mis-
sissippi, where it is common. In ap-
pearance and actions it is an enlarged
duplicate of the common swapping tur-
tie. Its pale brown hues well match
the soft, muddy bottoms ON which it
lies motionless, angling for fish with
the decoy. The bait is attached inside
the lower jaw, close to the tongue, and
is well developed flament Of flesh,
white and distinct from the yellowish
mouth part and closely resembling a
large grub. While waiting the turtle
keeps this grub in motion, giving it
the aspect Of crawling about in small
circular course. Its mud colored shell,
often studded with growth of fine,
waving moss. looks like great round
stone, and close to it is second small
er stone, the head Close to this small
er stone crawls the plump white grub.
a fish sees it and makes natural
mistake, only to be seized by a sudden
snap of the powerful jaws. The jaws
are remarkably powerful. The COM
mon snapper, which attains only a
third of the size of his larger relative,
will bite a finger clean off, and the al
ligator snapper could bite through a

that BARREL
MANY INTERESTING FEATURES
CONNECTED WITH THE BEER
SEIZED BY WING.
BARREL REPLEVINED AND 4
= CHANGE OF VENUE TAKEN
IN CASE. -

l& When the now famous barrel of beer
repleyin case came on for hearing be.
fore Police Magistrate Fort Monday,
a change of venue was taken by
States Attorney Patterson on behalf
of Chief of Police Wing to Justice
Gilbert's court. and the hearing will
be held today. s1 II. ~
This case has excited considerable
interest in both "wet" and "dry" cir
Giles, as it embodies the right of our
officers to seize intoxicating liquors
wherever he has reason to believe
they are intended for sale. ....
In this case Charles White, a dray-
man, was hauling a barrel Of beer
from the depot to his home, when
Chief Wing espied the contraband
stuff and ordered it taken to Justice
Gilbert's office for storage until ju.
dicial disposition was made Of the
stuff.
White strenuously demurred at this
summary proceeding, claiming the
beer was for the private consumption
of himself and family. -
While the chief stepped into the
Justices office a moment, White drove
off with the barrel, but was pursued
and made to disgorge.
AS sequence White replevined the
barrel of beer and it is now supposed
to be in the hands of the sheriff, If it
has not been turned over to White
under bond, the requisite three days
having expired. s..a
The matter has caused much talk.
Offhand the chief has been con
demned- principally by those fond OF
a cold bottle-while no great amount
of clatter has been heard from those
whose professions of desire for a
clean city should prompt an encour.
aging word to the officers in their eff.
forts to carry out the policy of the
administration upon which it was
elected. # ,' =.
The legality of the seizure would
seem to hinge on its face as to
whether a barrel of beer was an un.
1 usual quantity under the law. Had
the beer been owned by anyone Of a
great number of citizens-one against
whom the suspicion of selling 1t had
4 not rested--it is probable there would
have been no seizure, the officials rec
ognizing the right Of the individual
to ship in supplies for personal con.

1 On the other hand the officials
claim the right to seize liquors in this
/ way from persons against whom the
i presumption lies that they will sell
1t. The deduction in this case is OBJ
/ vious. The sequel will show whether
. or not Chief Wing is a good guesser
In the meantime the officers are en-.
titled to the support of those whose
backbone Is stiff enough to lift the
bushel of their light.

about his work remarked Bill Lang,
who sat with the Chicago rooters. is
he is not afraid to throw the ball.
When youisee young inflelder try to
cut runner off at second when the
play is usually made to first, he has
got the right stun in him. The sec

he was not afraid to throw the lall
and take chances He would tear in
and line the ball to second or third.

had to make perfect pegs to get his
men, but no matter. he took the chan
ces, got away with them and made
himself great PLAYER. From what

of player, and a youngster of that
pluck always has bright future
Joe Curtis went to the Pacific coast
