East Cast Is Watching What
This Section Is Doing In
Regard To Dixie Highway

the Dixie Highway so why waste
time and words and postage stamps
on a man like Beleher who is de-
termined to put the terminus of the
highway in Miami and exclude con-
sideration for interior Florida. 1t
would be a good idea to write Mr..
Saxon, however, and ask him to ex-
ert his influence in securing a differ
ent route
1t will be observed that the Sen
tinel does not advocate any other
terminus than Miami for the high
way, but other papers have, and if
the temper as displayed by the Sen
tinel spreads, there is much danger
that there will be concerted move
ment to deprive this city of that
honor. To be on guard assures our
safety.

Fish That Weighs
Fifteen Tons

Three years ago a fish weig ii -
10000 pounds was captured and
landed at Miami, Fla. We read all
about it, saw its picture and heard
men swear they saw it. We took
their stories cum grano sails, but
us wish to investigate the wonder
full tales told of this mammoth deni-
, zen of the deep.
At last we were in Miami,
month ago at the meeting of the
Florida Press Association. In COM
pany with Mrs. Sidney Johnson of
DeLand, and Miss Fish of SANFORD,
we inspected the taXidermed remains
of the monster fish. We went, We
saw, and we were conquered
And we met people-there are
hundreds yet in Miami-who saw
the big fish when it was towed to
the dock there, who not only saw it
and touched it, but sfmelled it for
miles. We give below the fish's di-
mansions.
The big fish was captured at
Knights Key, Fla, on June /, 1912.
1t took five harpoons and $50 bull
let's to subdue the monster, and it
fought for 80 hours before it gave
up the fight. 1t was then towed to
Miami and pulled out of the water
in the boat ways of Mr.. w. I. Hob
stetler, where most everybody in
town saw it. 1t was so heavy that
it broke down the ways. 1t was pre-
pared for exhibition by Mr.. J. S.
Warmbath of Washington, who was
sent down to Miami on the recon-
mendation of the Smithsonian In
, stitute of Washington, ID. c.
This is a fish not a whale, and
Furthermore it is only baby of its
, species. 1t had swallowed black
