Moscow-To pay a fine of $l75 and

and carcass taken from him and sold

fence Of Charles Sawyer, wealthy far
mer and stockman of Latah county,
whose farm lies east Of Palouse, near
Kennedy Ford on the Palouse river.
The elk, which had wondered down
from the mountains to the east, came
upon Mr.. Sawyer's 400 acre farm and
was shot and killed. Mr. Sawyer
made no secret of what he had done,
for he did not know the elk season
closed on November Is and thought
the elk as we'll as the deer season was
open now. He told his neighbors
and some of them reported the mat
ter to Moscow and the arrest follow

L. E. Brooks, deputy state game
warden, went to Palouse and drove

taken before I. NJ Balch, justice OF
the peace at Potlach, where he emit

cred the carcass, the head and the
hide to L. E. Brooks, the deputy game
warden. These were brought to
Moscow and sold at auction on the
streets this afternoon.

Probably the most extraordinary
draught board In the world was con-
structed at st. Leonard, England, In
1891. 1t was made of solid blocks of
concrete, three feet thick. and its sur
face covered an area of 625 square
feet. A draught board, which at one
time belonged to Bismarck. Is estimat-
ed to have cost more than 100000.
The squares are made of solid gold
and silver. This draught board was
declared by experts to be the most
valuable In existence. A set of
draughtsmen, IL of gold and IL of
silver, were presented to the prince.
In the center of each golden draught
was a beautiful ruby, while inlaid In
the center Of each silver one was a
peerless diamond. A quaint old draught
board is still to be seen hanging as q
sign outside the Chequers inn, Os-
m0therley. It's interest lies In the
fact that neither the original painter
Of the sign, nor the landlord of the
inn, was draughts player. The
board has 58 squares. whereas real

SOME FISH or RECORD SIZE
Finny Monster Claimed to Have Been
Taken Off New Jersey--Remark-
able Devil Fish.

America claims TO have caught the
largest fish ON record--an enormous
ray harpooned off New Jersey, weigh
Ing four tons, and needing six oxen
and 22 Ilen to drag 1t ashore. The
battle with the fish lasted nine hours,
and 1t lashed up spray to height Of
over 30 feet.
Allowance must be made for some
exaggeration, but there are on record
other cases where gigantic rays, or
devil fish, have been harpooned.
One taken off jamaica was so big
that 1t took 40 men to drag 1t along
the beach. Even rays caught in Brit
ish waters are sometimes of great size,
like one that was sold in the fish
market at Cambridge. 1t weighed 224
pounds, and when cooked and served
at st. Johns college was sufficient to
make meal for 120 persons.
A ray Is feet across and so feet
round was trapped In Table bay, while
off the Bahama islands the natives once
harpooned gigantic skate measuring
something like 16 feet across the flap

HOW CoBBLER FOOLED DEVIL
Good Story Of the Discontinue OF the
Enemy Of Mankind Told In

The old story about The moated

England, called the Twmpath, liz thus
related by Capt Harry Lewis In the
"Archeologia COmbrensis -
Once upon time the devil quar-
reied with the people of the Rhondda.

recognizing at once with whom he had
to deal. guessed that the devil was
contemplating some mischief. So he
opened his bag. and, displaying the
old shoes with soles full of holes, an
swered that he had worn them all out

was too tired to pursue what he i'm

Samoan National Drink.

The national beverage Of the
Samoan ISLANDERS Is .kava," obtained
from the dried fruit Of plant known
TO the botanist as Piper methysticum,
says the Kansas City Star. The classic
method 0f Its preparation was by chew
Ing. Water was added, and, after
straining, the stuff was ready to drink.
Missionaries convinced the natives that
Shis method did not accord with the
best social customs, and so nowadays
they grind the kava root In a stou.
