me about telling when a boy is in

few swift passes at the "Battler."
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien showed
me how to do this he said as Nelson
backed away laughingly.
If you had begun boxing a few
years ago, Mr.. Cannon" said Nelson.

or BODIES AIKEN + rom the wreck.
memorable wreck of the steamship At
lantic of the White Star line near
Cape Sambro, at the entrance to Hall
fax harbor, on April L, when several
hundred lives were lost, comparatively
few of the large number of passengers
being saved.
He cannot recall now the exact
number of bodies taken from the
wreck, but it was up in the hundreds.
About 1885 Captain Stone came to
Boston and has lived here ever since.
In the 25 years that has made this
city his home he has done a great
deal of submarine work at many
points along the Atlantic coast as far
south as South Carolina and through
out New England as we'll
Captain Stones life has been filled
with hairbreadth escapes from death,
but the nearest that he ever came to
losing his life under water, he says,
was while working on the wreck of
the steamship Moravfan of the Allen
line in the year 1884 off Mud island
in the bay of Fundy. near Yarmouth,
N. s., with four or five other divers
in the dead of winter.
The ship lay in about 20 feet of wa
ter, with the upper deck above the
surface, and on this the air pumps of
the divers were dashed. The two men
tending the lines for Captain Stone
were stationed on a raft constructed
within the ship, about at the level OF
the second deck, while he was 60 feet
below them in the BOBBY hatch work
ing on the cargo.
| In some way his air hose became
l
from the air pump on the upper deck.
| Away below in the black depths of the
water Captain Stone heard a sudden
sharp click within his massive helmet,
| similar to the sound made when a
large cap is snapped on gun
| He made a leap for the combings
of the BOBBY hatch, so as to pull him
self up, but he failed and fell back
ward in the water with all the weight
| of his heavy diving suit upon him.
His tenders on the raft were In
ignorance of what had occurred, and
he couldn't send a signal to them, be
cause his signal line had gone up with
the rope used in hosting the cargo
i he was sending up But word was
soon sent to them of the nature of the
accident and they quickly got to work
Captain Stone had made another eff
fort to catch the combings of the
hatch when he felt himself beinf
hauled upward by his tenders.

Fear Dearth of Teachers.

People interested in educational
matters in Rocks county expect fam
inc in teachers next winter because
of the small attendance at the county
normal institute in session at Plain
vile. Only about 60 attended This
condition is said to result from slight
interest in the profession which pre-
walls especially among the male teach
ers The men can earn greater sal
aries in other business lines, yet the
teachers salaries are as high as paid

Hog Shortage Discovered.

The prevailing high price of hogs
easily is accounted for if the same
shortage exists elsewhere as in Smith
county. The returns of the deputy
assessors have just been compiled and
they show that there were but 42,523
hogs in the county on March 1, de-
crease of 7,103 In IL months. Despite
a loss of &c, 900 by cholera during 1908,
the assessors found 1926 head in the
county in 1909. Many of the farmers
claim there is no money in hogs when
they can haul their corn from the
fields direct to market and get so cents
a bushel for it.

SALT LAKE ROAD
ASKS REDUCTION
Representative Wants Equal
izerS to Cut Assessment on
Line S9S6,3z3

SACRAMENTO, Sept. s. Declaring
that the San Pedro and Salt Lake rail-
road had been overassessed. and that
a reduction is due on account of the
fact that the company had a great deal
of track washed away in Nevada last
spring on account of the floods there,
Frank A. Waters. representing the
road. appeared before the state board
of equalizers today and asked that the
companys assessment be reduced
s986.323. The assessment has been
fixed at s3,S33.44S-
These figures, Waters contended.
were based upon the gross earnings for
the year before, while the figures for
this year, on account of the through
traffic being blocked. are considerably
less. On the other hand, the board con-
tends that since assessments have been
made always on the gross earnings of
year before, that in reality the figures
for this year are all right; that the
company should look for redress for
this years assessment when the fig
ures are compiled by the state board
next year.
The case has been taken under ad
visement.
Representatives of the Pullman COM
pany also appeared before the board
today and asked for a rehearing. They
were Attorney T. c. Coogan and Colonel
George Fl. Puppy. Their appearance
was more in the nature of a protective
measure than anything else. Since
1907 the Pullman company has resisted
the right of the state board OF equali-
zation to assess its property and is at
present lighting in the courts. having
refused for that length of time TO pay
any taxes. Consequently to protect
themselves legally they have appeared
each year before the board and request
ed a rehea ring.
In both cases, and in the cases of the
nine counties cited for low assessment
rolls, the board will make decision on
Tuesday next, when the state tax levy
will be fixed.
