fishermen in this city in the estimation
of his friends, and he believes he will be

Adolph Loehl and John w. Hurley have

One day last week John w. Hurley and
Fred Geyer went to Knoxville. Md, to try
their luck in the Potomac. having made a
wager on the result. Hurley had been
enjoying the best kind Of sport during the
earlier part of the season and Geyer made
the suggestion that they take trip to-
getfer, suggesting that Hurley would not
land five bass.
suggested Hurley; "a quart bottle that
we get ten"
And. in the language of Jake Moffett,
the anglers arose early In the morning.
made mighty preparations and went forth
full of hope. When the day was far
spent and it was almost too dark to see
where to cast their lines the anglers re-
turned to the Willard at Knoxville, each
anxious to know of the others luck.
Geyer felt that he had surely lost. He
had caught nine fish and felt that his
companion had done as WELL But Hurley
day. had gone to every hole and other
place where he thought there was E. fish,
and had caught but three bass.
Not only had Hurley been worsted in
the matter OF numbers, but had also been
outdone in the matter of size. his largest
fish weighing two pounds. while the larg-
est one caught by Geyer tipped the scales
at three pounds. And Hurley paid the
wager.
Capt. T. B. Amiss, who was in COM
mand Of the first police precinct for a
number of years, has returned from
Front Royal. Va, where he spent his va
cation and has some interesting fish
stories to relate. Like most other an
glers, however, the biggest fish he hooked
got away.
Il think it was a fve-pounder." says
the captain. ''but expert anglers who were
witukme declare it must have weighed
between six and seven pounds"
It happened like this. The captain got
a strike, gave the fish plenty of play and
hooked it. Then the excitement COM
menced. His>reel came off the rod and 1t
was some minutes before he could get
matters in shape again. He held to his
prize. however, and succeeded Tn getting 1t
near the boat.
Marvin Maddox, who was In the boat

the fish without the aid of a net, and the
result was that the cornered gamester
made one supreme effort and got away,
taking part of the line with it.

RHIN0CER0S ATTACKS
ELEPHANT FROM REAR
CREATES EXCITEMENT ON HUNT
OF iNDIA'S VICEROY
Enraged Animal Charges Pachyderm,
Nearly overturning Big Beast, and
Then Escapes Through
Line to Jungle

CALCUTTA, April 10.-The viceroy's
sporting trip in Assam has been one of
the most exciting that has come within
his experience. Great difficulty was
experienced in locating big game owing
to the quality of unburnt-and there
fore almost penetrable-jungle, which
in many cases stands as high as twenty
five feet. One day a big bull rhinoceros,
which was on the point of breaking
out in front of his excellency's howdah,
suddenly turned round and charged at
the line of elephants in close formation
advancing against them. He turned
one elephant completely over, stam-
peded several others and eventually
broke through the line and escaped.
Another uncommon sight was wit
messed on the same day. A young
sambar in full view of the line of ele-
plants, was pulled down by pack of
wild dogs, and after standing at bay
for a few seconds was killed by them.
These packs of wild dogs do more to
destroy young game than any other
wild animals.
In one of the beats rhinoceros came
out toward Col. Brooke, and as only
the viceroy was to shoot the rhinoceros
Col. Brooke did not fire. but photo
graphed the beast. Apparently the
rhinoceros resented this procedure and
charged straight at the military secre-
tary's elephant, a big tusker, which re-
turned the charge with interest. The
shock of the collision was tremendous,
overrolled the rhinoceros, and the ele-
plant was almost cast on his side,
while the coionel's hat and rifle were
hurled to the ground. he himself being
dashed against the rails of the how
dab and his arm broken.
The rhinoceros then attacked the ele-
plant in the rear, and Col. Brooke, with
his one sound arm endeavored to shoot
him, so as TO protect his elephant.
However, having only a small-bore rifle
left, he was unable to infict any serious
damage. and the rhinoceros escaped TO
the Jungle.

number it is believed the choice lies
between Constable De la Monte and

Especial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH. April 10-There was
a merry row kicked up, literally, last
night. Some pretty and talented young
women, high school girls of course, but
regarded as young women, were billed
for songs, duets and quartets last night
in between the acts of a juvenile affair,
TON Thumbs Wedding" given at the
auditorium under the auspices of To-
cal Sunday school class.
The girls sang up-to-date popular
songs, rather than anything from the
hymn book Some of them wore dainty
stage dresses of knee length, with cute
bonnets to match, and some were
dressed as boys, real sporty chaps. All
improved their numbers by the addi-
ton of fancy steps galore. Dainty
steps they were and the accented kicks
kicked UP the row.
Church ladies' I'm the audience could
be seen staring straight into the eyes
of the performers, as IL to stare them
out of existence.
Today there was talk about 1t. The
girls are indignant. They declare they
were not advised beforehand that any
strict rules were imposed.

Santa Fe Alone Forwards $4,000, 900
of the Golden Fruit and Breaks
All State Railroad
Records
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, April 10-The
week just ended has proved to be the
banner week in fruit shipments over
the Santa Fe from Southern California
points to the east, An even 1000 cars
were shipped through this city during
the past seven days, the largest con-
signment of fruit ever handled in one
week by any road out of the state.
Each car contains 1884 boxes and with
from 175 to 200 oranges to the box, this
weeks shipment means total of APP
proximately 75,000000 oranges, or almost
enough to give every man. woman and
child in the United States one orange.
A conservative estimate of the aver
age price per box is $3.50, which would
mean an investment of almost $1,OOO,O0O
for the weeks shipment over the Santa
Fe passing through this city. Although
the figures are not available for the
weeks business on the Southern Pa
Gifts and Salt Lake lines, the local
offices of those companies estimate the
combined shipments as equal to the
total of the Santa Fe.

FIND ROCK oBTAINA5LE NOT
HARD ENOUGH FOR DRESSING

PASADENA. April 1O.-After long
discussion residents of Orange Grove
avenue have decided to abandon for
one year their self-appointed task of
securing a new top dressing for this
boulevard. A committee has been at
work for a month or more investigat-
ing the different kinds of rock used in
laying the new asphalt-concrete mix
ture. They believe the rock now avail
able for this purpose is not hard
enough to stand the test of years, and
are determined to wait until the county
opens UP one or more of the new trap
rock quarries in its possession before
going ahead with the work.
Meantime the city will be asked to
scrape the street in order that the
loose earth may be removed and the
annoyance from mud or dust rendered
less probable.
