departure was indeed shocking for
the reason that a precious little

failed and thus father and daughter
entered the dark valley almost to-

WIRE TAPER
ARRESTED

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 21.-When
Max Auerbach appeared in court
charged with vagrancy. technically,
but really held for tapping electric
wires, or making people think he
could, and getting the money for
it, he was still anxious to plead
guilty of the vagrancy charge,
thinking thereby to escape the
more serious charge.
The judge refused to accept the
plea and postponed the case, and
once more Auerbach, who is a
young Russian Jew, recently from
New York, broken down and cried.
He had 81 when arrested. Auer-
bach's scheme was to place small
magnet under the steel hand on
the meter and hold it SO it could
not circulate, or so that it would at
least run slower. He claimed the
light bill would be reduced one
third and for this service he
charged 50.

The window, valued at $50, was
broken as a result of midnight
encounter between two women,
said to be intoxicated. During the
scrimmage one of them was pushed
through the window, leaving por-
lions of her attire, including a
comb, hat and a piece of skirting
behind.
These the cigar dealer has label

conspicuous view. Crowds gather
ed around the place to such an
extent last night that a guard of
police was necessary to keep order.

as readily as gospel truth. was
at the wheel one day as the vessel
was approaching Simon's bay, near
the Cape of Good Hope, when the
inquisitive gentleman spoke to me
of three or four sharks which had
been following the ship for 48
hours. The crew had noticed the
pursuit of those monsters of the
deep, and among the tars 1t had
been theme of general discus
sion since the moment of their ap-
pearance in our wake. The passen-
ger asked me If there were many

This remark put keen edge on

he asked If sharks were ever nu-
merous in the bay.

the forecastle deck l once counted
1897 sharks and then l missed a

Now. that was very kind of the
captain" said the passenger ap-
provingly.
"Ah, our captain always was a
good man. don't expect to ever
see his equal. From that time the
sharks got to recognize the Mary

They used to be on the lookout for
her. and when they saw her enter

During a heavy storm we lost

old gentleman. Wonderful"
Some years afterward. when the
news reached Simon's bay that
Captain Block was dead. all the
sharks in the vicinity daubed their
backs with mud as a badge of
moruning for him, and lots of them
fretted themselves to death"

There has been strong under

more than 100000 obtainable at

Probably so per cent of it has been
