Crook is in jail, not because he has done anything wrong, but merely for future reference. Crook is the Nebraskan who claimed to have been slugged and robhed by the Blizzard brothers a few days ago. He callod at the marshal's oftice Saturday afte noon and stated that nine or ten of t triends of tho Blizzards had como to him and i one way or another tried to induce him to leave the city 50 48 not to be hero when the prelimivary hearing came off.. This, of Jourse, would insure the discharge of 'the two suspects. Among the number wa Henry Blizzard, the father of two brothers. He, Crook claims, even went 80 far as to offc hiw a horse and team if ho would go home and fail to turn up at the time set for the hearing. Iustead of accepting the offer ho told Deputy Marshal Anderson what the old man has said, and by Anderson's di- rection filed an information chavging the old man with trying to assist o prisoner to es- capo. Henry Blzzard called at the city jail during the evening for a paternal talk with his two unhappy offsprings, and was ur- rested just as he stepped out from behind the bars aud thrown back agaiu. Crook, in the meantime, had managed to withstand all the seductive offers that had boen held outto him by the boys' friends, but the authorities hisd no means of knowing how long his moral courage wonld remain intact In order to guard against the possibility of finding out what Mr. Crook's prico would be and cow ing up to the serateh, he was thrown in jail and will be held there until after the hearing, which will' probabiy be" this morn ng.

Chance for Bleyclists to Make a Fow Ex- amplos of Roud Hogs, Complaints have been frequently made of late of the actions of certain people in re- fusing to eiveup a part of the road to bi- cycle riders, Road hogs are to be found mainly in the country, where a bicycle is not cousidered a legitimato road machine, but rather an institution which denotes a weak- ness of intollect on the part of the owner and calls for no particular attention from other travelers. Most people in the city have beceme accustomed to the sightof wheels and are reasonably accommodating about giving up & suare of the road where it is 80 narrow as to render it dificult or impossible for the bicyclist to pass without mounting. Now and then, however, par- ties are run across who, either from a mi avtness or from a super- on board, insist on mon- road, even inside the city opolizing the enti limits, The wheelmen have borne it with as much of a grin as possible, because no one seemed to know of any way'to teach people that a bicyele was just as inuch of a vehicle as u lumber wagd much entitled tc only last Saturday evening th, 1y was thrown from her Wheel and severely injured by a crowd of drunken whelps who werc in g mood for practical joking.

They are stili there in that great grave, the dead of the 18th of June. Englishmen and Frenchmen mingle their bones ther today.

The sea, as he had stated, was now of a dark brown hue, due evidently to minute gelatinous organisms, and we began our search for whales. Nove of the ships, however, was able to find the slightest trace of one, and, concluding that further search would be a mere waste of time, we began to hunt the scal, “Early in the morning six boats were {ml forth, each manned by five sailors. ach sailor was armed with a club, and the officers in charge of the boats car- ried rifles. hey rowed to the floes, and then it was that they discovered a great differ- ence between the seal of the south and the soal of the north. Though the floes were covered with scals, and although the men did not approach them with any degree of unusual caution, the seals showed no sign of fear, remaimng quictly where they were, The warfare began at once. Bullets were sent skip- {)inu through the floes, and these, fol- owed by blows from the clubs, were sufficient to lay the seals low in scores. Before the day was done no less than 400 seals had been captured. We continued the hunt for several days. The daily cateh averaged from 300 t0 400, By the middle of February we had caught nearly 6,000 head. Dur- ing our stay in that section we came across three varieties of the animals— the sea lions, the sea leopards and the sea bears. The last of these were ny far the most plentiful. The sea lions wore the most fierce-looking fellows, They were jet black in color, They measured from ten to eleven feet in length, and their heads were large, of an oval shape and blue shade. The heads of the sea lcopards were much smaHer and their skins were spotted brown and yellow. The sea bears had furs of a yel- lowish white color and they were alto- gether of a smaller make,” “How about birds?” asked the porter. *Did you sce many of themn ©0h, yes,” ‘answered Captain Fuir- weather., “We saw an abundance of birds, especially pehiguins.
