A Salmon That Cost $50.

Last Sunday a gentleman of Seabeck, W. T., went out in the canal for the purpose of catching fish, and when a twenty-five pound salmon took his hook it nearly upset him and in landing his game a SSO watch slipped from his pocket and sank from his sight in the water. This is the fnost costly fish ever caught, standing the angler $2.00 per pound.—Portland Oregonian. A Fort Sully dispatch says the trial by the court martial of W iliam 8. Kelly, charged with attempting to poison First Lieutenant Hoffman, of the Eleventh United States Infantry, has begun there. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. . A cable has been laid from Bruzo Santiago to Galveston, and the latter city will soon be placed in direct communication with Yera Cruz.
