1t was not a short MESA ge, either,
this last long distance aerogram. For
the benefit of laymen it contained the
information that the sea was rough
and for the use Of the weather bureau
such scientific data as the reading of
the barometer, temperature Of the air
and water and direction and velocity of
the wind. Also, for the benefit of those
with friends on board, it contained the
Intelligence that all was well.
The Korea, which has more power
ful instrument and is nearer to this
port by two days steaming than the
Alameda, has not yet been heard from.
The message from the Alameda was
not the only one that caused a stir yes
terday in wireless waves. Somebody.
presumably an amateur, turned loose
an appeal for help for a ship in distress
20 miles off shore. An investigation
] showed that there was no foundation
for the report and, as wireless mes
sages leave no trail. it was impossible
to Identity the perpetrator of what was
probably intended a joke

FOX CEASES NEGRO.
Vas LYING In Public Road All Ready
for a Flqht.

,-~Qur friend, Mr. David McCutch-
en-, t,ho resides near lndiantown
church, youches for the following
remarkable incident: Some time
recently a negro named Sam Nc
7Cutchen, who lives Oh his place,
while pursuing the even tenor of his
way along the "big road' came up
on some kind of "varmint" crouch
ed down by the roadside that RESENT
bled a big red dog. The darky
struck at the animal with a stick he
happened to have in hand, but the
stick broke and the stlange-looking
beast with savage growl sprang at
the frightened Negro, who made
tracks down the road at a lively
gate with the animal in hot pursuit.
The chase had proceeded several
hundred yards and the issue was in
doubt when the breathless negro
CHANGED to see approaching him two
Young men of the neighborhood who
were out hunting and had their guns.
They quickly up sized the situation
and rescued Sam from his peril ny
shooting the pursuing animal, which
proved to be a large red fox.
Except a female with litter Of
young ones, it is said to be an ex-
1trenely rare occurrence for a fox to
attack a human being,ithough there
are instances where the males em.
boldened by cold and hunger have
yentured into the haunts of men
and attacked them. In this case
the fox was a male and of unusual
" large size, 90 that but for the
timely interference of tho hunters
Sam might have had to fight for his
Life with Reynard, armed only with
natures weapons.
