SPECTER SHIPS.
Legends of shadowy Craft Of the New

The coast of New England has nu-

shadowy craft have been seen. fol-
lowed invariably by fatal disaster.

Bisbee and the Warren district have

East Side Gold com pany's niue, but
-ix miles from Bisbee, on the edge OF

be gold property Of great merit
aud has been attracting the attention
# the mining men of the district.
This property. consisting of six pat
ented claims, was first opened mp
about seven or eight years ago by O..
e. Mccoy, who operated it in small
way, and shipped little high grade
ore to the smeIters. He sunk q shaft
to depth of more than 100 feet and
ran drifts and opened up a good show
ing of ore.
The company which owns the prop
erty was finaced in Lambertyille.
New Jersey, and was organized with
1000, 900 shares Of stock at one dollar
per share par the present price Of the
stock. In the early days OF this oper-
alton of the property considerable
money was speht by Mccoy is devel-
opment work iu the two shafts he
sunk aud iu the drift work.
After the shipment of ore was made

the mine, ordered sll work stopped
and for several years nothing was
done at the East Side.

TRAINING SEALS


Taught to Perform Tricks.
THE cardinal principle In training
animals" says an animal trainer, ''is
not to attempt to make an animal dc
anything contrary to the nature Of its
particular species. To be successful
trainer must know enough about tho
habits of the animals he has under
training to ft the tricks he would teach
them TO their natural bent
''The seal Is very easily taught Yop
begin with one seal, some small pieces
of fish and string You let the seal
sit on his pedestal, something he likes
to do by nature; then you throw Dim
one of the pieces Of fish. and he nstu-
rally and easily catches 1t. Next you
tie piece Of fish on the end Of your
string and swing 1t toward the sesl
He catches this. too. and you keep
moving away from him and swinging
the fish to him from an increasing dis
tance. Now you are ready to begin
with the hat or cornucopia. You put
piece Of fish In the bottom of 1t and
toss It to the seal. The seal Is dex-
ferrous by nature. and his nose. quickly
detecting the fish In the tip of the
cone. seeks It out. The cone catches on
his snout. and he bites out the fish and
losses the cone aside. Before long he
comes to associate the cone with fish.
and he will catch any number of sim
liar ones and toss them aside when he
fails to find what he wants.
Balancing the big rubber ball IL
based on the same principle. The ball
is soaked In fishy brine and thrown to
the seal. He gets the odor and tries
his best to get into the ball and find
what he Is after. This results In his
balancing the ball on his nose. a feat to
which his supple neck and his natural
feeding habits are all adapted. and
then he gets his piece of fish as
prize."-New York World.

YOUNG MAN IN TROUBLE.
Man at CrestO HELD on Charge of
Forging Name to
Check.

A young man nineteen years of
age, giving his name as Prize II.
Bandholtz, was bound over to the
grand jury by Justice Amos E. Bark
er Wednesday on charge of forg-
cry, and being unable to secure a
bail bond of $500 was confined in
tie county Jail.
Bandholtz has been in Cresco off
and on during the past three months.
About two weeks ago he purchased
some goods at the Kraft Clothing
store and offered in payment a
check for SIS drawn on the State
Bank of Andover, S. D., in favor of
Merl Randall and signed by r. B.
Randall. BandholtZ, who was a
stranger to Manly Robinson, the
clerk who waited on him, represent
ed himself as Merl Randall Manly
suggested that he get the check CASH
ed at bank. He presented it at
the Union Savings bank, but pay
ment was refused until he could be
identified. He returned to the store
and asked Manly to identify him,
which he did in the Bank of Cresco,
where the check was cashed. The
to the Andover bank and payment on
it was refused. 1t was then returned
TO the Cresco bank and Sheriff Gull
yer began a search for Randall. :"
He was traced to Ridgeway and
then to Charles City, where he had
engaged room but had not yet &C.
cupied it, and could not be located
Mr.. Culver returned home and the
Charles City officer kept on the look
out. Tuesday word was received that
the lad had been picked up in Mason
City and Wednesday morning he was
delivered to our sheriff by the sheriff
of Floyd county.
At the hearing before Justice
Barker he told contradictory stories
one was that the check was given
to him by young man, on train;
then he admitted he wrote it himself.
Fred Burr and Mrs. Burr identified
him as the person who had register
ed at the Central house as "Prie H.
BandholtZ."
The young man is not specially
bright and it is believed that he has
been instructed in the art of forging
by some one more clever than he ap-
pears to be. He claims his home is
in Cambridge, Ill.
Unless he is able to secure bonds
he will have to languish in Jail till
next October, when the grand jury
meets.-Times.
