TUESDAY EVENING,
West Osborne. Conrad Anderson
and Charles Wardell, Sea Bright's
leading deep sea fishermen, lost
their nets, and, in all probability,
will not be able to use their skiffs
for some time.
The huge fish was snared In Os

had a shark, and motioned to An

ing close by, to work in their nets to
keep the big fellow from escaping,
because the price paid for sharks on
the beach is generous.
The two fishermen, in 22-foot
skiffs, turned to their crew men and
asked whether they had better take
chances with the supposed shark.
In the meantime Osborne cried but
that the shark was breaking

skiffs were brought up and the nets
sent over the sides.
Gaff hooks and shark knives were
brought quickly into play, but a
sudden leap of the sea monster re
vealed that, instead of a supposed
shark, a horse mackerel was their
prey. Osborne and the pilots of the

THE 41st ANNIVERSARY SALE
In Connection With the Fall and Winter Opening
J- u
The 41st Anniversary of the founding of the Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart store will probably go down in retail store
annals as the most notable value giving occasion Harrisburg ever has known.
For almost a full year plans have been in the making for this event, and despite the fact that for months there has
been a noticeable shortage of surplus stocks of dependable goods we have been favored from time to time with various fine
stocks at very substantial price concessions. In such cases where it was impossible to buy under prevailing market prices
we have set Anniversary prices upon our own stocks to a level close to current wholesale costs.
Altogether will appear in the 41st Anniversary Sale two million dollars worth of fine quality merchandise all
of it marked at prices which will be a direct help in reducing living costs.
The Sale opens tomorrow and continues to the end of the month.

other two skiffs prepared harpoons
and lines, while the remainder of
the crew worked the nets in order
to gill and exhaust the monster.
But the swiftly flowing tide was too
much for them, and the big fellow
broke through the heavy nets. As
he was about to escape, having
ripped the nets beyond repair, An
derson hurled his steel harpoon in
to the fish's side.
The mackerel immediately went
to the bottom, rested a few minutes,
then dashed to sea for more than
nine miles. Wardell and Osborne
tried to hook on and take up the
trail with Anderson, but their skiffs
had been damaged when the big
fellow's tail ripped off part of their
sides.

behind for the nine miles. When he
was about to tie a buoy at the end
of the harpoon line, thinking the

noticed that the line had taken on

he worked closer. The harpoon
again was brought into play. This
