PIRACY AND MURDER.

A remarkable story of piracy and
murder in the South Seas has been
brought to Victoria, British Colum-
bia, by the crew of the steamship
Mariana. The captain and mate of
Callao schooner were attacked with a
tomahawk and forced to jump over
board. Joseph Mortimer, a Belgian,
j. Taylor, of Manchester, and G.
Jackson, of London, charged with at
tacking them, stole the schooner. the
Nevure Tigre, of Callao, it is alleged,
and started for Australia.
The vessel was wrecked in the Gil.
bert Islands, where it was found by
Captain Marshall, of the trading
schooner Laurel. who reported the
affair to the authorities at Suva,
where the pirates were made prison
ers. Jackson, it is alleged, made
confession, in which he said:
"The schooner sailed under the
Italian flag, being owned by the mas
ter and mate, both of whom were
forced at the point of gun to jump
overheard. The schooner sailed out
of Callao early in November last, hav-
ing on board a crew of five-the cap
tain and mate, the cook, Joseph Nor
timer; myself as cabin boy and J.
Taylor. The vessel had only got
about fourteen miles off the coast the
first day from Callao when the cook
made an attack on the mate and cap
tain. He rushed at the mate first
and struck him ON the head with a
tomahawk.
"The mate was felled by the blow,
but quickly recovered himself and
took to the rigging. The captain
hearing the scufIiing came out of the
cabin and he was Immediately felled
by blow. The cook then drew a
pistol and forced first the mate and
then the captain to jump overheard.
The mate sank, but the captain struck
out for the shore, fourteen miles dis
tant, and Jackson threw him a plank.
, The cook threatened Jackson, who
agreed to assist in working the
schooner.
"The cargo was jettisoned and we
started for Australia. The vessel fin
ally went ashore in the Gilbert
group"
The prisoners may be sent to CAL
lao for trial.

RESCUING 4 FRIEND.

That the crow is q bird of more
than ordinary intelligence, the fol-
lowing anecdote will clearly prove:
A miller saw two crows light upon
his mill pond One obtained firm
footing upon a cake OF ice, but the
other, less judicious in the selection
of his landing place, pitched into
some pulpy snow, from which he
found it impossible to extricate him
self. His companion Immediately
came to his rescue, and -ried to help
him out of the predicament. Finding,
however, that this was impossible,
he stopped. elevated his head in a
position that denoted calm and ma
ture deliberation, then chatted for
a moment with his unfortunate com.
rade and flew off.
The miller decided that he would
watch the conclusion of the whole
affair. In about ten minutes the crow,
bent upon the errand of mercy re-
turned with two others of his species,
as first aid to the injured. The three
put their heads together in consulta-
ton, flew around their imprisoned
companion, examined his condition,
and then by a joint effort raised him
up and stood him on the ice. This
being accomplished, they rubbed
against him to warm him, brushed
the frozen snow from his wings. and
finally all departed together, the
saved crow being in the centre of
the others, as though it was still
necessary to watch after his welfare.

OUR CONTINUED STORY.
Tn. Review Begins Story of Great
Interest This Week.

We give the opening chapters this
week of the great story MIR. Barnes
American. The scene of the story
is at ports of southern France and
Italy. The leading characters are
Mr.. Barnes an American, Miss Enid
Anstruther to whom he is engaged to
be married. her brother Edwin, and
his bride. who is native of the island
of Corsica. The party just come
from the island and are on ship board.
1t would appear that in some way
these people were thought to be con-
nected with the killing of certain per-
sons on the island and so were per-
sued by the next uf kin intent to do
them harm. The story thus gives the
endeavors of Barnes and his friends
evading the vengeance of their enc
mics. and grows in interest
We shall plan to give plenty of space
for the story each week and so not ex-
tend it too long.

she is gaining steadily and that there
is prospect that she may be spared tt

NEWS IN the COURT.
Two Jury Trials and Some Criminal
Business Transacted

We spsat in another place of tire
damage suit from Carroll county
which was tried to jury. There
was another jury case which came
from Schlaswig in which George
Hoiten. minor, sued William Hogan
the barber. John Naeve the marshall
and Hugo Wiegand the hotel man for
$4,000. Young Hoiten was at work
for the barber for his board and
clothes. He was given new suit of
clothes and in two weeks it is claimed
attempted to leave town when the
marshall and his employer took him
in custody and to the hotel where the
suit was taken from him. The court
said that Wiegand was in no way
liable. The jury thought tfat the
marshall and the employer had been
more oficious than was needed ard
gave the boy SIS actual and $50 ex-
emplary damages. This put the cost
on the defendent. R. Shaw Van APP
peared for the plaintiff and Connor &
Lally for the defense.
Mr.. Frank Brown began a suit
against M. E. Jones as guardian for
Frank Nelson but withdrew it after
jury had been chosen. 1t was a
claim for services in taking Nelson
out to locate him on some western
lands.
In all the criminal cases the de-
PENDANTS put in plea of guilty and
will be given a sentence soon.

WILL REPRESENT DENIsoN
Charles Kelsey and not Miss Hooley
Will Have to Contest for Denison.

Anne Hooly cannot represent the
Denisoo high school in the coming
district declamatory contest after all.
There are three classes of recitations
in the contest. dramatic. numerous
and oratoricai. There are twelve
schools In the association and there
must be four selections from each
class on the district program. The
places are filled in the order in which
they are reported. 1t now develops
that all the places in the dramatic
class had been filled before our home
contest was held. This fact should
have been known to our people the
next day. but owing to the failure to
deliver the telegram sent by Supt.
Fellows nothing was known of the
matter here until inquiry was made
by telephone Monday night to as
certain why our report was not in.
This means that Charley Helsley who
had the highest ranking outside the
dramatic class. will represent Denison
with an Grafton. Those who heard
Charles in the home contest will have
no doubt that he will make good
showing. although the time for prep
aration is rather short.
We feel very sorry for Anne. for
after the expectation to appear. there
must come much disappointment. She
is one of the debators to go to Onawa
on next Friday night and so will have
some glory after all.

THEY WERE FLYING FISH
Gold Fish Have Wings at Allard's
Sale

One of the most unique "sales''
Denison has ever known was the Gold
Fish Sale given at the Racket store
on Saturday morning. For ten cents
one could get glass fish globe made
to look like an aquarium with bit
of sea-weed. broken shells and peb-
bles, and two pretty gold fish. For
another dime one got a box of fish
food. The sale commenced at nine
O'Clock Saturday morning and long be-
fore that hour the store was crowded.
Many came bringing pals and the
crowd was composed not only of chill
dren but of men and women all anx-
ious to get the tiny pets. The store
room was filled with eager bargain
hunters and it took just an hour to
sell two gross. 2S8 globes and gold
fish. The only bad feature was that
there were not enough to go around
and many came to the store only to
find themselves too late and the Rack
ct store telephone was kept busy all
day with country orders which could
not be filled.
Mr.. Allard has certainly held some
of the cleverest and most successful
sales ever conducted in Denlson but
the gold fish sale was the limit and
shows what can be done with bright
idea we'll advertised. Next week Mr..
Allard offers special sale of brooms,
at ten cents each. Ibis ought to
make sweeping sale.
