CAUGHT A LARGE OTTER.

Mr.. John II. Smith. of the Smith
Moore Vehicle Company tells a most
interesting story of fishing and
hunting trip Christmas with Mr..
Robert Pyle to the lodge" on the
Chickahominy Swamp. They went
out in boat seeking big rock. The
automatic bait did the work. These
fish sometimes weigh as much as 25
pounds. When Mr. Pyle pulled on
the line, however he thought he had
hung a log. After much tugging,
the head of large otter appeared
upon the surface of the water. Mr..
Smith had the presence of mind to
strike it squarely on the head with
an car. 1t dived but came up again
greatly weakened.

Mr.. Smith says, "It came up again

and continued to hammer it until 1T
was thoroughly stunned. We got it
into the brat and We beat it to death.
We brought it to Richmond. 1t was
a beauty, measuring As inches from
tip to tip. We were offered $50. 90
for it by trapper. We would not
take $3.50. 90 for it. The hook had
caught in the roof of its mouth. If
I had not struck it so heavy a blow,
it would have snapped the line and
gotten away. Mr.. Pyle took it to

The cesspool of filth at the end of
Baker and Eighth streets. has claimed
another victim. 1t is located in Old
Jackson Ward. Daniel O'Reily NC
Cready. of 204 N. Rowland street
had been missing from his home since
last Christmas Eve. Colored children
playing in the neighborhood OF this
death-trap saw an object floating in
the filth and took il to be an alligator.
A colored man reported that it was
a human body and the police au-
thorities with the aid OF the FIRE
Department employees got 1t out.
NO SIGN OF FOUL PLAY.
Then it was found to be the body
OF a white man. The Bliley Under
taking establishment sent for the
remains. There were no marks OF
violence on the body and just how
the young man wandered to this
point is a mystery. A taxicab driver
tells of leaving him on Broad street
near Seventh street some seven or
eight blocks from the point where
his body was found. Since the
frightful accf dent, when two wh:de
college students drove a Ford car
over the embanknent during the
month of October. 1923, a barricade
has been there.
NO COLORED PERSON LOST.
No colored person is known to have
lost his life at this point. To fall in
this cesspool in either the day or
the night time is sure death, as in
the winter time. with doors closed,
a crv for help could not be heard and
a person would drown before any one
could afford relief.

seconds.
A third mark to fall was the 440-
yard relay, a picked team consisting
of Helen Filkey; Alta Cartwright,
Eureka, Calf; Maybelle Gilliland,
New York, and Frances Rupert,
Philadelphia, negotiating the distance
in 81 rs seconds.

.vidual star of the meet taking three
firsts,-the 100.yard dash, 60-yard
hurdles and the broad jump-and run
ming the anchor heat on the winning
relay team. Her time in the century

YES-MEN TO VICTORY

Tierney's Terrible Tigers, a team
composed of married men of the mil
itary division of the General Account

liant Gladiators, an aggregation of
single employees of the same Office, on
the Monument lot yesterday. The
score was 23 to 13, although this may
be disallowed by Controller General
McCarl, from force Of habit.
Chief Scout Joe Engel of the Nation
ais was not present to inspect as fine
an array of genuine ivory as ever was
collected, but the antics of the Is per-
spring athletes were calculated to
weaken any fundamentalist's opposi-
tion to the theory of evolution.
Phats Fahey. first baseman for the
vanquished single men, proved great
asset to the victorious bubbles. His
propensity for dropping perfect pegs
and tanning with the bases loaded
may be accounted for by the fact that
he is about to commit matrimony and
was not in sympathy with the views of
his teammates.

holes in that park at no cost to the
Government; that the construction in
volved saved the Government some
thing like S17, over a two-year pc
riod. for the park authorities already
had intended to build such a course
at a cost of between $4,000 and
$22 900, and that by waving the $3.50

possible.
In addition, at the end of 1929, when
Loeffier's contract runs out, the Gov

have this nine holes without a cent of
expense. The entire cost has been
borne by the concessionnaire.
Loeffler's administration, according
to Col. Sheriff., has been satisfactory.

money is no more than would be due
