THE MONSTER SEA COW
CAPTURED At POINT ISABEL
That Caused Lettuce Famine In Hous-
ton Coming to Bryan Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
Manager Arnes Arrived Today and
Made Arrangements to Exhibit
This Monster.

From Houston Chronicle, Aug "a, IL.
Did you try to buy some lettuce for
dinner last night only to find that
there was none on sale in Houston
Blame the sea COW. Thesonly manatee
in captivity, for that is the alias of the
sea COW, ate enough lettuce yesterday
to supply $50 families.
This is figuring that the average
family can get along with a ten-cent
bunch. The sea cows love for lettuce
cost its managers SIS yesterday. That
is what it took in the way of nourish-
ment after dining on a quantity of
paragrass, and other edibles.
The sea COW now in Houston is the
only one in captivity today and Is the
biggest ever known to have been
taken. The encyclopedias say that the
manatee sometimes reaches length
of s to 10 feet and has been known
to weigh 1900 pounds. The sea COW
on eNnlDltlOu utlt 10 ~ iCCe iohS ohu
weighs 2040 pounds.
This sea COW had entangled itself
in thirty fish nets in the Lagoona
Madre, Point Isabel, near Brownsville,
when it was captured about six weeks
ago. The creature floundered about
and fought so hard that it took the
combined efforts of ninety-two men to
land it on the shore. The fishermen
did not succeed in landing it in ten
hours of tussling.
About five months ago it was seen
swimming in the water at Point Isabel
by the lighthouse keeper. He fired
upon it with heavy power rifle and
it disappeared. Night before last DR..
Smith operated upon it to remove the
bullet. The creature now seems much
relieved and is taking renewed in
terest in life in it's tank of water.

modern European harbors. An invest

large tract of land south OF Brooklyn.
Two large tracts of land have already
been acquired, and one pier costing
s1,25o,ooo has been completed and .
second pier is under way 1t is pro-
posed to equip these piers with the
latest labor saving devices for hand
ling freight and make them terminal

likely to be equipped with piers for
