LIGHTNING PICKED IT

Tagus Mirror: Lightning did some
queer stunts here during storm,
among them the knocking of all but
"a solitary feather from the body OF q
mouse hawk, which, strange to relate,
still lives to bear mute evidence OF the
occurrence.
The hawk was found under the tree
which had been struck the following
morning. when the hands on the I. d.
Stone farm were inspecting the worls
OF the storm The bird was barely
alive and, stripped OF ali but the one
feather, presented sorry appearance.

San Francisco, Dec. /. - VIM. ].
Biggy. for more than a year chief of
police OF this city, was drowned In the
bay last night and his body has not
been recovered. Chief Biggy was re-
turning TO the city from Belvidere in
police launch patrol and when the
boat arrived IL was discovered that he
was missing, though the engineer, VIII
liam Murphy, the only other occupant
OF the boat. did not see him fall over
board.
According to Murphy's story, Biggy
entered the launch on this side Of the
bay about s o'clock In the evening and
made the trip to Belvidere. where he
went to the home Of Police Commits
sioner Riel, a resident Of the suburb,
and spent some time in conference
with the commissioners. It was nearly
IL o'clock when he returned to the
launch and the return trip was start
ed. The chief came to Murphy in the
engineroom and complained Of feeling
Ill from the motion Of the boat. which
was very noticeable. The engineer ad-
stern, where 1t was cooler, and Bfggy
LDlIOWSu LAAAn hoNAIo~
F. Chief Had Disappeared.
A little later Murphy looked toward
the stern Of the boat and saw the
chief leaning over the side vomiting.
The engineer did not again look in
that direction until they were close to
the city as his attention was occupied
with the handling Of the boat. He
then went to the stern to inform Biggy
OF the reason of a slight delay occa-
stoned by the passage of the ferry
boat, and discovered that the chief
had disappeared.
Murphy hurried to his berth near the
hsrbor station and reported that the
chief had fallen overheard and was
lost. A party at once set out to search
the bay, and this was kept UP all
night, without result.

SAY HERALD Is UNFAIR

papers who regard professional ethics

personal feeling. Assail a man edi-
torially, open t.4e columns to everyone
else who wishes to sling mud for the
same purpose, but deny the object OF
your assault the use of any space in
your columns. That Is The Herald's
creed. We have heard OF such a
thing as being fair, even to an enemy.

HAcKENscHMIDT TEMPTED
TO INVADE ERICA

The announcement that Heckenschmidt,
the great Russian wrestler, is to meet Joe
Rogers the American, in London, some
time in January, is thought TO be the
forerunner of a second invasion of this
country by the Russian lion. Hacken-
schmidt has been offered a purse of $4,000
for a series of four exhibitions in this
country and a final bout for the worlds
championship with Frank Gotch, the
American champion, and it is understood
he has accepted.
This will mean another awakening OF
interest in the mat contests in Americ A
such as was felt for several months after
Hacks" first appearance here. The
wrestling game is still high in favor in
the middle west, but it has died out to a
considerable degree in the east, and
a renewal would be welcome change
from the steady program of the hit and
get away game.
If Hackenschmidt does not back down
from his proposition, and that seems
hardly possible, inasmuch as each and
every one of his demands has been com
piled with by w. w. Wittig of Milwau-
lSee, the man who is promoting the affair,
he will probably come to America some
time about the end of March. The match
with Gotch is set for May and that Will
give the Russian ample time to take part
in the four exhibition matches and also
to prepare for the meeting with the yam
kee champion. The match for the worlds
title will in all likelihood be held either
in Kansas City or in Chacaso with the
odds in favor of the former at present
