- Caught by a dosen hooks which were
dangling from a sturgeon line, -a seal
weighing 100 pounds wss captured and
killed yesterday In the Columbia river,
near7CapeKorsjk-th officers and
crew of the steamer BafaTrPtaon ,.
. The captive made a desperate strug
cle before he was dispatched. He fought
savagely, churning up the water like a
small whale. . When drawn toward tne
boat he showed his teeth snd growled
fiercely. - Once he flopped above the
surface of tbo water and almost knocked
the feet from under a coo pie of his
captors, who '.were snxious to get him
alive.. j t ' . .
Seeing that It would be impossible to
take the animal alive. Captain. Del Sha
ver, who hsjd charge of the boat, de
the seal was shot. The carcass will
probably' bo dlsposedrof to ths Chinese,
who prise seal oil very highly. ;- '
, A' fisherman who was catching stur
geon had a trot lino stretched from ths
bank of the river to a sand bar over
in the main channel. Every foot or two
apart a huge fish hook dangled from
the line. . It Is presumed that a sturgeon
had been caught by one of these" hooks,'
snd while making a meal of the fish the
seal himself became a prisoner. In his
struggle for freedom he waa caught by.
the other hooks on the line. After the
seal was killed the crew on the Dixon
spent almost half an hour cutting the
hooks out of his body.
Seals are not very plentiful In,, the
Columbia, and river men say. this one
is the largest they ever saw.' He had
a fine cost of short, gray hair. When
captured young the seals make Ideal
pets, and are easily trained to do many
clever tricks.
While on his way to Portlsnd from
his ' ranch on the Columbia slough,
about seven miles east of the city, this
morning, John Hoi t grieve spied a fine
