Shark in Austin Lake

From the St Louis Globe Democrat. Austin, Tex.-Charles Mitchell and Roy Cavanaugh, while tending some cattle on farm, which borders on Lake Austin, have been annopey by attacks on young sheep and calves of a sea monster, sup posed to be fresh water shark.
 The two boys gave an account of the work of the monster Saturday afternoon while they were on visit to stores in the city.
 Several times while the cattle were wa tering we noticed projection like the fin of shark moving about in the water of the lake about 50 feet above the shall low placo where the cattle stood drink ing," said Charles. who is the older of the two boys.
 we have missed several calves and young sheep from our f1ocLs and have al- ways seen them in the herds shortly be- fore they went to water. For this req son we believe that shark has beeo up to mischief, but we have never known before of any kind of fish that would at tempt to kill young calves or young sheep.
 "Sorine negro boys who were in bathing a short distance from the land once occupied by the Austin Rod and Gun club have told us yarns about being cha sed out of the water by a big fish. Of course you can't tell whether the negroes have really seen the same monster as that we believe has been ravaging our herds or not At any rate. we are carrying a shotgun with us to the lake every day now, and the next time we see the water
 move and see the fin sticking above the water there's going to be something O. ing

Mutual Fire Insurance Companies

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l have been reading the letters of Mir. J. H. Hard published in The Age-Herald. with a great deal of interest. We note in his letter today that he gives mutual fire insurance companies quite boost If mutual companies are best for the people. they have never been able to show it. Take one of the companies he mentions in his letter. the Farmers Mutual of Ala bama. This company has been out of business all this year on account of finan- cial difficulties and have numerous claims and judgments unpaid, and if they are able to handle their business. so much better than the large stock companies, and keep their losses so low, as he would lead you to believe, it is strange that they cannot make success and pay their losses. For the man that pays the prem lum, it is undoubtedly better for him to take his insurance in the old and tried companies. even if he has to pay a little larger premium, and collect his insurance in case of loss, than to risk the smaller stock companies and mutual companies some of which have no capital, end cAm- promise his claim in event he has d freq great many times being unable to recover anything. Some years ago Brminghan m had a mutual fire insurance company, as people interested in insurance will remen- Der. Where is it today? Busted" as is the case nine times out of ten Mutual fire insurance companies as a rule do not suc- ceed. and we sincerely trust that the la W makers will give them no encourage ment. Respectfully, W.
