DAVID CITY, Neb.. May 9. (Special. 1
Tomorrow, the citizens of David City will
begin wht tlivy call "building week."
DupTing tin week tlivy will try to raise the
balance needed for the erection of Uie pro-
posed tS'.Oio library and gymnasium build-
lug. Over ill.jui has already been aub-
aenbed. They are raising the funds for Una
building among themselves without any
outside help, depending only on their own
industry and resources.
This enterprise had its beginning sevetal
months ao when a small number of boya
organized an athletic club, expecting to
rent a building and buy some simple ap
paratus. They took in more and old r
members until the club finally outgrew the
control of the boys. The King's Daughters
set aaule February S as Tag Day. The
girla placed a tag station In every business
place In town and one of their number at
each box gave a tag to every person who
donated to the building fund. The gitl3
worked hard, as the result showed when
the day's proceeds were counted and found
to be over IC.SO" in subscriptions and cash.
The crowning event, and the one by which
it la expected the final amount will be
raised, is "building week." Every day
thetft will be instructive, exciting, laugh

8TDNET. May . (Special. 1 Details have
Just reached this city from Tarawa, Brit
ish Guiana, of a most cold-blooded but
highly romantic lnstarce of single-handed
piracy. Joseph Mortimer, a burly Belgian
cook, haa been committed for trial on the
charga of forcing the captain and mate
of the American built schooner on which
he was employed to wajk the plank In
regular old-fashioned Captain Kldd style.
After disposing of them In this fashion,
with the help of only a cabin boy, he at
tempted to navigate the ship Into an Aus
tralian port. Intending there to sell It.
Krowlng absolutely nothing about seaman
ship this strange crew succeeded only In
running their craft onto the reefs which
fringe the Gilbert Islands In the South
Pacific. There they were arrested and held
for trial by the local authorities.
Tha cabin boy. George Jackson, an Eng
lish lad, broken down and told tha gTue-
soma story. It appears that the schooner. (
which waa a two-master of about rmy
tons burden and named the Neuvre T'.gr.
hailed from Callao. Peru, and waa engaged
In the costal trade. On Ita last voyage It
left that port with a cargo of coke, carry
ing a crew of four all told the captain, the
mate. Mortimer the cook and Jackson the
cabin boy.
Ow, Derk with Tomahawk.
The vessel had not been at sea many
hours when, the night being a dark one.
Mortimer crept on deck with a tomahawk,
and. stealing up behind the male, who waa
at the wheel, aimed a terrific blow at hia
head. Had it reached home It would have
daahed the man's brains out. but. while
unconscious of any danger, the mate moved
his head al'ghUy. Instead of striking his
head the tomanawk buried its edge In his
arm. The mata Immediately turned and
grappled with hia assailant, at the same
time shouting for assistance.
The cook was a powerfully built man.
and It waa apparent from the first to Jaxk
son. the terror-stricken cabin boy. who
watched tha desperate struggle from a
safe distance, that he would ultimately
triumph. After an unsuccessful attempt to
wrench the tomahawk from tha grip of
Mortimer the mate broke away and sought
safety in the rigging.
The commotion and the shouts of the
mata had by this time brought tha captain
on deck. Ha too in the aituation at a
glance, but before he could ee4se a weapon
Mortimer was urc . him and rendered him
unoonacioua with blow of the tomahawk.
Then tlie cock ran to his bunk beiow and
almost immediately reappeared with a
loaded shotgun which he had evidently
prepared tn advance. Pointing It at tha
mate, who waa still perched In the Mxglng.
he gave him the alternative of Jumping-

cessful attempt to argue the cook into a
more pleiisant frame of mind the mic
chose the former alternative and took i
header from the r'3f!ng into the sea. The
horror-JincKen cabin boy from his post
forward sow him come up and start to
swim to.vnrds a small island, which ha.l )
appeared off the starboard bow. but before
long he ank again and is believed to havt
drowned
Death or Dees Sea.
By this time the captain had regained
consciousness ;inu the cook, standing ovrr
him with the ahr.'gun. gave him also the
option o being shot or jumping into the
sea. It iid not take the captain very long
to decide which waa the lesser of the two
evils for he immediately took a header ovrr
tne rail. As he went over, Jackson says, he
threw him a r'tok. but does not know
whether he jot "r!d of it or not. It is ex
tremely donb'ful, however, and he is be
lieved to havo e'lffered the same fate as
the mate.
Mortimer tnen advanced threateningly
upon Jackson, who waa crouching behind
the forward mast, almost dead with fear.
Standing over tht youth the cook forced
him to promise to help him take the vessel
Into an Australian port and exacted a vow
from him that ho would never tell of the
events of the day. The cargo was Jettisoned
and the name of the vessel erased from the
stern. Mortimer confided to his companion
that he Intended rechiratenlng it the
White Rose and expected to get a good
price for the Umt when he succeeded in
getting It Into an Australian port.

of whom knew enough about the business
to box a compass, the voyage was begun.
However, they did the moat obvious thins
and always aailed with the wind. They
might have cruised several times around
the world In this way without seeing the
shores of Australia had they not one morn

It waa in tr.s cnuu.lion that the schooner
was discovered by Captain Malcolm, the
master of the trading craft Laurel. Board
ing the wreck he found Monimerand Jack
son thoroughly sick of the whole job. They
asked to be taken to Fiji and the captain
waa about to give them paasage when the
local magistrate objected and declared that
he Intended to hold the two men for in
quiry, especially as they could give no sat
isfactory explanation of the whereabouts
of the rest of the crew.
The two men were later arrested and it
was while they were on their way to Tar

true story of the Neuvre T'gre and Its last
Vcyage.
