Fish-Back Ride
Story Brings to
Light Better One
Special to The Herald)

HAALAAAA " ~
DONNA. June 2.-The story about
the man At Point Isabel taking a
ride" on the back Of a reddish is
considered as q challenge to this sec
tion Of the Valley, and this section
replies to the challenge with what is
considered a better fish story.
A young man named Andrew
Champion was in the habit Of get
ting out at night in the Donna Sec
ton. SO il is related here. and chas-
ing wildcats.
In chasing the cats he occasionally
found il necessary 10 cross a resaca,
or small pond Of water. He some
times jumped on a log, and padded
across. in order to save himself the
trouble going around these lakes.
And on the night in question. with
a bright moon shining, he hurried
down the resaca bank. hot on the
trail of a cat. and hoped onto a
huge log which was floating near
the bank.
There followed a mighty iunge. the
log bent itself almost double, and
then Strengthened out again, and
took a dive straight down toward
the bottom of the water. Champion
was almost drowned BY the sudden
action Of the log. which he found 70
be a huge alligator gar. about 10
feet long. and some two feet thick.
He said when he jumped onto the
back OF the huge yar il hardly
moved for an instant. being heavy
enough that an additional weight Of
$50 pounds changed It's position in
the water very little.
Champion is a World war veteran,
and carries scars with him which he
received IN some Of the worst bat
ties Of the war. He was in the marine
corps. and is now in TamIico working
for an oil company.
The only drawback to the storyf Is
that II happened five years ago.

CHANG BADLY

Continued from page cne)
China was marked this morning by
the bombing Of Chang's special train
as 1t entered the suburbs Of the Man
churian capital.
Several Of those aboard the former
dictator's special train were killed,
two officials were injured and Chang
Tso-Lin himself suffered slight facial
injuries. Immediately after the
bombing he hurriedly entered a
motor car and proceeded to his head
quarters.
The bombing has caused some ten
sion between the Chinese and Jap
anese as the Japanese declared the
Chinese aboard the train fired mt
random and mainly directed their
fire at Japanese gendarmes guarding
the railway. The latter replied and
for forty minutes there was an ex-
change of shots.
At least two suspects we're arrested
and reported TO have been summarily
shot while a number OF Mukden Of
ficials also are said to be under ar
rest. Japanese officials say that the
fairs and interior instructing them to
bombs were of soviet manufacture.
Two bombs were dropped on the
train as it was passing under a rail-
way bridge at 5:30-o'eiock this morn
ing. The bombs blew up the eleventh
coach and set fire to four other
coaches which were destroyed by the
blaze. The number Of casualties was
not definitely known.
Included among the wounded were
WI Chun Sheng. governor Of Heilun-
kiang province, and minister OF agri-
culture of the former Picking regime.

S.O.S.E

Continued from page onel
-tPESearch for the missing dirigi-
BILE Italia, unheard from since may
rs. was in full swing today after a
week Of extensive preparation. The
ice breaker Braganza was blowing
through northern SpitzberFen with
search parties of Italian Alpinists
ready to disembark at strategical
points to seek the crew Of the Italia.
Early today the sealer Hobby ar
rived at Kings Bay carrying Lieut..
Luetzow Holm, crack Norwegian
flier. and a naval monoplsne, from
which he will survey the polar sea
off Spitzbergen. Lieut.. Holm held
a conference with Kings Bag Off
Gals and then announced that he
hoped he would be able 10 leave
Kings Bay with his plane on the
Hobby later in the day.
The Braganza, en- route to Rein
deer Land, put a search party ashore
at Cape Verlegen Hoek, which is
midway between Molten Island and
the Straits Of Hinlopen. The party
made a rapid survey Of the peninsu-
Ia and the journey was then con-
tinued.
The ice in the Straits Of Hinlopen
was found broken up and this will
permit the Breganza to reach the
coast Of Northeast Land, an extern
sive deserted tract upon which the
Italia may possibly have come down
since the wind was in that direction
when she was last heard from.
Various hunters along the north
ern border OF S~pitzbergen were
questioned and said that they had
seen no trace Of the missing airship
or its crew. but expressed the opin-
ion that they may be found on
Northeast Land.
