Babcock galloped over to join

out in the cleared land near a
brook, and Operator 13 rode over
to report her presence and mis-

Merritt, young, smooth shaven,
courteous, was much interested;
he questioned her minutely, turn

Babcock's scouts.
"Gen. Custer" he said, "is fac.

Fish Derby Winner
UncrO,Uned Hero,
Due to Confusion
Betters Unable to Collect

DEPOE BAY, Greg, September Z
Those who wagered on Depoe Bays
first annual fish derby have decided
to stick to horses.
The event came to an incon-
elusive end with no one knowing
the winner. In the absence OF
jockeys, the finny Speedsters fol-
lowed their own ideas of racing. A
fish named Shampoo the Magician
tried to bite off the tail Of Schooner
Bill; Seltzer, perch, refused to race
at all, and Tessie, a skate, had q
tantrum at post time.
The races, or what was to have
been the races, took place on a land
locked bay, in the center Of which
was a barge.
From the barge numerous wires
were strung just above the water in
several directions, but all Of the same
length. Harnesses were prepared for
each fish, and the point was for the
starter to reach in the box and bring
forth his shark, octupus or skate
without getting his fingers nipped.
When each entry was properly
harnessed, a loop was thrown over
the wire, a balloon attached on top,
and all entries unceremoniously
dumped out Of boxes by a starting
trigger. The fish which consented to
swim in the same direction his wire
waS aimed, reached the end Of 1t and
punctured his balloon on an outcrop-
ping point was to be the winner.
Each entry had different ideas
about direction, virtually none Of
them agreeing to follow their various
wires.
Pari-mutuel betting was scheduled,
but like results of the races. income
remained unannounced.

was found, murdered, near Strouds-

The trial was stopped yesterday

"I don't know Mrs. Hastings" Kent
replied. II don't remember her."
Asked to count from one to ten,
Kent mumbled, "Five, seven, ten"
He then was asked to count from
ten to one.
"Ten, nine, three, one," he counted.
He told DR.. Bejarnette he had
