cias with q crew OF 30 Daen, 200 tons
of coal and provisions for 80 days.
Included among the crew are several

w. Reer, head OF line of schooners
now in the Central American trade
Mr. Reuff branded as false the report
that the steamer was involved in a
revolutionary expedition.
Captain Johnson, the master, has
been employed by the Estrada gov
ernment in Nicaragua for several
months and until recently was com
mander OF the little Nicaraguan gun
boat fula.
Although the clearance papers we're
secured shortly after noon, Captain

age with guarantee of first class re-
turn passage to New Orleans or

that they believed the Hornet was
destined for Honduras. Late this az

Johnson. They finally departed with

A crocodile's tenacity of life is most

says a traveller in India, Il was with
Il shooting party on the Ganges when
the natives brought in a six foot croco-
die. They hoped some one would want
to buy it. but 20 one did. so it was de
termined to kill the creature. 1t was
hauled out of the tank and tied to a
tree. Bullets from a small rife or an
ordinary gun seemed only to irritate
the sahrian. nor did he seem to care
very much when a native thrust a
spear down his throat. Finally they
were obliged to dispatch him with
axes. Even then the tail thrashed
about for no little time after"

Gohl a Demon.

Aberdeen, WASH. Feb. 6.-EffOrts
of the city and county authorities
working on the mystery of the AZ
murders. I" as the Gohl case is spoken
of here, today centered upon two
points. the search for the body of
John Hoffman and the effort to trace
the movements of two men, one of
whom is said to be Gohl's brother.
These two men are wanted by the
authorities so that the case against
Gohl may be made complete. 1t is
Believed that they can throw mucn
light upon the dark doings that have
happened in the fogCy nights along
the southern shore of the harbor. One
of these men, it is feared, has gone
to Canada or Mexico.
INQUIRY today deVeloped the fact
that Hoffman drew $4O0 which he
had on depisot at the Hayes & Hayes
Bank on December co. He said at
that time that he was going to spend
some of it for Christmas presents
and would then leave town. Two
days later he was seen with Gohl and
William Hedberg, and the police
believe that he was taken to the now
famous hunting shack. robbed and
murdered. Hedberg, they think
witnessed this crime and the theory
is that Gohl killed him to protect
himself.
Special deputies are continuing
their search of the shallow parts of
the harbor, hoping to find Hoffman s
body. If it furnishes evidence of
robbery or if it is bare of clothing
the officers believe they will have a
case that will stand test in court.
Of the two men being sought, the
one believed to be Gohl's brother was
known as "Bud" Johnson. The
autohrities will not divulge the name
of the other man. johnson. it is
said, was brought here by Gohl, and
was one of the party of from four to
six that spent almost their entire
time on the hunting scow or on boats
owned by Gohl. These men are
alleged by the police to have been
closely associated with Gohl. 1t is
believed by the police that this gang
was not prticularly active in the
crimes of which Gohl is suspected,
however.
The apparent magnitude of Gohl's
operations is making the case difficult
for the local authorities to handle.
At first it was believed that Gohl had
not committed more than three
murders at the most. and the sensa-
tional reports that were brought to
the police and county officers were
and thought to be only
phases of the popular hysteria that
followed Gohl's arrest. Investiga-
tion of many of these stories has led
the authorities to change their minds.
and now they believe Gohl has muir
dered many.

RACE WAeERS IN INDIA.
Natives Method Of Choosing a WiansF
and MAKING Bots.


The native OF India wageUs his
money according to the coIors worn
by the Jockeys and takes nc heed Of
the merits Of the horses, or be win
back horse ridden by his favorite
Jockey, no matter whether the animal
is q rank outsider or not.
His ideas Of gambling, in fact, are
distinctly novel. Some of the more
wealthy Indians form rings and back
every horse in the race. thus gaining
the satisfaction Of getting 4 winner
every time. 1t is really only of late
years thar the native of India has be-
come a hahitual gambler on the turf,
and nowadays the bulk of the betting
of the various racing centers in India
is done by natives. Indeed, the au-
thorities are somewhat concerned about
the growth of the betting which takes
place among Indian natives it being
assorted that as many as thirty lacs
of rupees about E300O0W is lost and
won in the course Of a season.
The ignorant masses have not a
great deal Of actual money to wager.
but so badly bitten are many of them
with the craze for betting at race meet
ings that they frequently wager what
little property they possess on a horse,
and if they lose they simply replace
their loss by stealing a neighbor's
goods. The consequence is that when
the racing season comes around the
police are kept very busy dealing with
cases of petty larceny and other crimes
Involving loss Of property--London
