PorpoiSe Killed Shark.

How a bottle-nosed dolphin, a por-
poise commonly called the seahog,
slew q G-foOt shark, is described by
Galveston CTeyas) fishermen, who say
they witnessed the killing from the
cauSeway which connects Galveston is
land with the mainland.
The seahog. according to the books,
is most socable and gregarious FISH,"
but these fishermen declared there was
nothing sociable about this dolphin.
When the shark was within a few feet
OF the porpoise the fishermen saw the
sSahog charge. a gray streak in the
water II struck the shark squarely
amidships, they declare, ripped it open
and then tore the body into pieces.
The theory of the fishermen Is that
the porpoise fought to protect its
single young one, which the shark was
menacing.

MUST WEAR DARK CLOTHES
Strict Rule for Employees In Factories
Where Work 10 Done
on Gold.

Clothes Of q light color are not IA
vorites where work is done on gold
In fact, In many such factories q dark
suit Of clothes is absolutely demand
Ell. and even a light waistcoat may
lose a man a job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains Of gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on dark suit, while they
might get away from the establishment
II light clothes were worn.
That such rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beat
er applied to him for a helping hand.
The Bohemian said that he had not
been in this country long, that he had
had chance to obtain a good job at
his trade but that the place had been
refused him because he turned up
with light suit and waistcoat on.
and they were the only clothes he
had.
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out II II proved true. He went to
a factory with him and found out that
the man could have the Job II he pro-
sented himself within an hour clad In
the proper clothes. So a suit Of de-
sired kind was obtained for him and
sure enough he got the Job.
you may think this Is strange" said
the foreman Of the factory, "but It
means quite a lot to us. Every mans
clothing is carefully examined when he
leaves the place at night and the gold
Is brushed Off whenever We see any
on his clothing. 1t is impossible to
hide even tiny grains on a dark back
ground. ut in the case Of a mixed or
light suit we might easily lose quite
an amount of gold, and gold isn't any
thing you want to lose even In small
quantities"

see either that his song would provide
inspiration for a French revolution or

had passed out of French possession

self suffered both by loss Of his COM
mission and by Imprisonment, first be-
cause the adoption of his song by the
Revolution made him suspected Of rev.

remained to the older government, and
later because his lack Of enthusiasm
for the revolution made him an OBJ
ject Of an attack by the new leaders.

JESSE DUNN SHOT AND KILLED
FROM AMBUSH MONDAY.
Was Under Indictment for Murder
of Luther Mitchell.-His Death
Predicted When Allowed
Liberty on Bond.

Jesse Dunn was shot and killed
near Picayune Monday by parties un-
known. Dunn was indicted by the
grand jury at the April term court
on a charge of numbering Luther
Mitchell and was released on bond.
It was freely predicted III the Dunn
Mitchell neighborhood that if Dunn
returned to that section he would
never be lived to be tried.
According to the best information
obtainable at Picayune, Dunn, ac-
companied by two of his wife's ne
phews and his mother-in-law, were
enroute to Lumberton in an automo-
bile and when near his home ran
into an obstruction placed across the
road and just as the car stopped
were fired upon from ambush.
Mr.. Spier's one of Dunn's wlfe s
nephew's who was driving the car,
was hit in the head with buck shot,
aud all fled from the car except Mr..
Dunn, who returned the fire, and
when the other occupants returned
to the car they found Dunn 200 hun
dred yards from the car with his
head almost severed from his body
by buck shot.
Dunn was farmer and had large
family. There had been trouble
between he and the Mitchell family
for sometime before the killing OF
Luther Mitchell.
