The Shark Theory
Not Gone Wrong.

The Lakeland Telegram thinks it
has one on The Journal as indicated
by the following:
The Pensacola Journal recently
printed an interesting article scout
ing the idea that sharks devoured
human beings and insisted that there
was no authentic instance on record to
that effect And now comes the es-
teemed journal with story in it's To-
cal news columns telling of giant
shark caught the other day in Pensa-
cola bay, in whose stomach was found
the leg of a man who had left the navy
yard night or two before in a SIMS II
boat and was never seen again. 1t
seems TO be case Of another theory
gone wrong.
Our contemporary is mistaken in
The Journals position This paper
has never said that a shark would not
eat a dead man. What The Journal
has coutended is that the so-called
man eating shark"-the kind that is
believed to attack live men and drag
them down does not exist, at least in
these waters
But The Journal has never said that
dead men were immune from these
sea -scavengers. a shark will of course
eat dead man-meat Just as quick as it
will eat any other kind of meat, and
in the case cited the man was IN
doubtedly dead before the shark had
the temerity TO tackle him.
VIII not tho Telegram kindly make
the proper correction in this case?

OVER 200 RATS
WERE TRAPPED
BY ONE DARKEY
NATHAN SCOTT, coLoRE0, IS Ac-
CREDITED WITH HAVING WON
PRIZE FOR CATCHING MOST
RODENTS IN THIS CITY.

Nathan Scott, colored, is the cham
pion rat catcher of Pensacola, this hav-
ing been shown in a report returned
to the mayor from the laboratory yes
terday by Dr. Brink. Scott, there
fore, is entitled to a prize of S25 in
cash offered by a well-known business
man for having made the most agrees
sive warfare on the rodent population.
Scott's catch amounted to ass rats,
or about sixty ahead of his closest
competitor.
DR.. Brink yesterday handed to Mayor
Greenhut the report certifying to the
rat-catching abilities Of the three
highest ones in the contest, and the
mayor will today officially notify those
who offered the prizes Of the names Of
those who are entitled to them.
A second prize of So in cash was
also authorized, and this will go to
Eugene Herring, of East Intendencia
street. He was credited with having
returned 172 to the laboratory. the
third highest was Willie Wood, who
was only seven less than Mr.. Herring,
or a total of 1876 rats.
As stated herein before, the city has
stopped paying the bounty on rats,
practically all danger of the plague
having been banished, but all rodents
taken to the laboratory will be exam
ined for possible infection in case any
one would so desire.
