Pounds, il Caught.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-Weigh-
ing 1900 pounds and measuring
Is feet in length the biggest
shark ever seen in this part OF
the country was caught in a net
at Virginia Beach today.
Before it was killed it gave
battle to five men. The fight
continued for two hours and the
man eating fish, although stran-
ded on the beach, toppled over
each man as he came within
reach of its powerful tail. Big
sticks poked in the sharks mouth
were bitten off like SO much
paper. The great jaws of tn.
monster snapped at the men as
they moved around endeavorine
to get a rope around its body.
Before this was accomplished

harsted and almost dead. The
big fish was hauled away in a
double wagon pulled by two
horses and will be kept on ex-
hibition at the resort.

It carries with it one Of these boxes

to the box are pieces of writing, which

places her in the n OF genuine
nobility. While engaged in her Ia
Dor of mercy the duchess will drop
her title and will be known simply

go to the front. once her mind was
made up, in the teeth of general dis

the aristocrats who make up her So

It is said that for a frail little wom-

whose general attitude seems n OF
sweet and gentle acquiescence, the
duchess has an underlying determina-
ton which would do credit to an
iron-willed man accustomed to bat
Ting his way through life. More than
once has his majesty, the king, come
up against this phase of her DISPOSE
ton and in the end has been forced
to yield with what grace he could
summon. The duchess was, before her

late Count de Paris.
