Haggerty was buried in Camridge,
Watson in the little town o]
astham on Cape Cod and Percy al

, The widely different surroundings

for their funerals. Cambridge
n the centre of New England's metropolitan
district, and the seat of one
of the State armories, was able tc
honor the body of her son with a military
ceremony in which thousands
I participated. A company of naval
militia gave the only touch of official
display to the service at Eastham
where men, women and children whc
live beside the sea gathered to pa>
tribute. Farmers of the ruggec
North country honored the memorj
of the young marine whose boyhooc
home had been in Highgate, and a
nnmnonv rtf the national p-liard with
'WlUfuu; wi. vuw ?
V veterans of the civil and Spanish
* American wars escorted the body or
v its last journey.
For the funeral of Haggerty there
vas a solemn high mass of requiem
with military accompaniments in St.
Patrick's Roman Catholic church,
-and the body was followed to the

* long procession.
The town hall at Eastham was
chosen for the Watson funeral, conducted
by a Universalist clergyman
with burial in the village cemetery.
The Percy funeral was held in the
Congregational church at Highgate
Centre, with interment in Highgate

FOUGHT OFF OCTOPUS.
i iver's Brave Battle Eighty-Five
Feet Under Water.
J Fighting furiously for 45 minutes
against an octopus 85 feet below the
surface of the water, at the same
| time talking over the telephone tc
his attendants in a scow on the sur!face
of the water, giving them accounts
of the remarkable battle as il
progressed, and finally, practically
uniniured. but in fainting condition
& ' ~
escaping, was the remarkable experience
of Walter McRay, a deep -sea
diver, at Alden banks, nearAnacortes.
McRay, the Seattle correspondent
Wf of the New York Sun writes, was engaged
by the Apex Fishing company
fljjfljff .to examine one of its fish traps on
Alden bank6 and on the third trip tc
H the bottom he ran afoul of the fisb
HP most dreaded by divers. He had followed
the lead for some distance
wjm when his foot was seized in the deadfly
ly grasp of the giant octopus. At
H the same time the big fish emitted a
K large amount of "ink" turning the
K water in the vicinity absolutely black
Wf and making it. impossible for the
r diver to 6ee his assailant.
James E. Hill, who was on the
surface in charge of the assistants
to McRay, stood with the telephone
receiver at his ear. He heard a
slight exclamation from the man below,
followed by a violent pull at the
life line as the diver was thrown ofl
f his feet. A few seconds later McRay
I said over the telephone:
L "Now, keep cool. Don't get exft
. cited. A devil fish has got me."
B The rest of the battle, as told by
m. McRay and described by Hill, was as
K follows:

"The octopus, immediately aftei
tripping McRay, had thrown twc
more tentacles about the prostrate
man, one around his body, binding
his left arm tightly to his side, anc
the other between his legs and reach
ing up his back. The head of the
* fish was on McRay's chest.
"Almost helpless, yet with his
right arm free, he was able to drav
- his knife from his belt and defenc
himself. Fighting at the great deptl
f water and under heavy pressure
te strain soon told on the diver anc
several times he nearly collapsed.
"At no time, however, did he ap
pear to get excited or lose his head
For the entire 45 minutes which hi
struggled, he gave me frequent bul
letins as to how the fight was pro
gressing.
"After McRay had succeeded ii
subduing the octopus, he proceedec
to free himselg from the wire mesl
in which he had become entangled.
"When he reached the top of th?
water the big fish still held a deatl
eriD on his left arm, and it was no
until he was half out of the wate
that it. let go and fell back into th<
water, from which he was dragge<
with a pike pole. McRay was com
pletely exhausted when we brough
him to the top."
When examined by the crew of th
scow the octopus was found to hav
11 wounds in his body. He measur
ed nine feet in diameter.

WATSON AGAIN INDICTED.
_________
5 Federal Grand Jury at Augusta Takes
Action Once More.
Augusta, Ga., May 15.?The United
States District Court grand jury, this
afternoon returned an -indictment
against Thomas E. Watson, editor
and principal owner, of the Watson
publications, at Thompson, Ga.,
| charging, in six counts, the sending
of obscene matter through the United
States mail.
S. G. McLendon, counsel for Watson,
asked that Judge Shepherd set
5 an early date for trial of the case, in
that his client was ready to go to trial
? at once, but the case has not been
! dated on the Court calendar for this
term, and probably will not be taken
up.
The indictment is substantially the
same as one returned by the grand
- jury at the last term of the Federal
r Court here, and which w^s thrown
out by Judge Shepherd, on the ground
1? + i* imnmnorlv drawn and
lUdl XL ? ao imv|/v4?,r %?- w
c would not stand.
The indictment charges that the
; Federal laws were violated when, at
different periods in 1911, Watson
" caused to be sent through the mails,
1 copies of "The Jeffersonian" and
> "Watson Magazine," which contained
1 "obscene, lewd, lascivious and filthy
" publications, of an indecent char5
acter, contained in articles entitled
The Roman Catholic Hierarchy, the
: Deadliest Menace to our Liberties
1 and our Civilization'."
> The indictment does not quote the
> language used in the publications,
5 saying, in that connection: "Said
publication is so obscene, lewd, la5
scivious and filthy, as to be offensive
} in the'Court, if set forth herein and
-k improper to be spread among the
L records of the Court, for which rea"
son the same is not set forth in this
5 indictment."
Rebels Capture Tampico.
Washington, May 13.?Evacuation
J 1
- of Tampico by tbe Mexican reuerai
garrison began at 12.50 p. m. today,
r according to a relayed wireless dis;
patch to the navy department from
Rear Admiral Mayo. The Federal
troops were leaving by the railroad.
? That the rebels encountered des,
perate resistance in their final attack,
and that they were compelled
* to carry their fight to the heart of
> the town, was indicated by Rear Adi
miral Mayo's report. He reported
; that at 1 o'clock today, when it was
I reported that the Rebels had occu
pied Tampico, there was heavy rifle
? firing in the plaza and that Dig gun
firing continued.
5 { Advices received by Constitution;
alists here said the Federals were
1 j evacuating Tampico, but details were
1 lacking.
* The Federals were retreating by
i way of the railroad leading to San
Luis Potosi, and it was assumed that
- they hoped to reach Pachuca, the
. terminus of a railway line that leads
e directly to Mexico City. The rail
road out of Tampico to Monterey is
- held by the Constitutionalists.
1 Bringing Him Back.
i The attorneys for the prosecutior
i and defense had been allowed fifteen
minutes each to argue the case. The
e attorney for the defense had com
i menced his argument with an allut
sion to the swimming hole of his
r boyhood days. He told in flowery
? ~^ Kolmv oir t li oinp'inc

3 birds, the joy of youth, the delights
- of the cool water?
t And in the midst of it he was in
terrupted by the drawling voice o
e the judge.
e "Come out, Chawncey," he said
- "and put on your clothes. Your fif
teen minutes are up."
CLINTON MAN IS SHOT.
> Would-be Peace Maker Suffers Serious
Wound.
Laurens, May 17.?Ed Eubanks
was probably fatally wounded early
this morning at Clinton by John Q.
Cunningham, who claims that the
shot was intended for a man by the
name of Dutton. Eubanks was shot
in the abdomen and was brought to
1 the Laurens hospital just before
noon to-day. His condition is said
to be critical. Cunningham was a
little later brought to the county
jal by one of his brothers and Frank
Anderson, the latter being deputized
by the sheriff to bring the accused
to the city.
It appears that Cunningham and
Dutton were in a personal difficulty
when Dutton is said to have drawn
his knife and started toward Cunningham.
Eubanks stepped between
the antagonists and as he attempted
to push Dutton away from Cunningham
the latter fired, shooting the
would-be peacemaker instead of the
man who was making an alleged assault
on him. All parties involved
live at the Clinton mill village.
