The school was made up principally of cows and their cslves, varying In length' from six to twenty-five feet.' When first stranded they lashed the water with great fury, churning It Into foam and attracting the attention of the townspeople, who went out by the boat load.

He had just about given up. when along cam a man driving a light buggy, and provd a good Samaritan by towing the oil inNpector back to the city. m m ..J the mammals became a shambles. In some cases the ends of the pectoral fins were cut off. This unrestricted etabblng and I cutting.' which caused great , bloodshed, was eventually cheeked by Intervention of the authorities. Those whales which had ben brutally cut were put out of their misery with revolvers, under the direction of the officer commanding the Coastguard division. Later, with the high water, most of the whales got off to sea. The casualty list totalled about twenty-five. A few of the living whales apparently lost all sense of direction and remained bout the water on the foreshore sands so languidly that they were again left high and dry.

The sight presented was indescribably wonderful anu inipiessive. a most re markable lesson in the power of nature's forces when un controlled. Great masses of ice, acres in extent, torn from the solid surface, reared hundreds of feet into the air. upheld by the rushing waters, only to topple back with terrific force, the crash resounding like sslvos of artillery, while the waters were dashed in sheets In all directions by the mighty spleen. Again and again wss this repeated, until the Ice was broken Into bits, and the river was filled with a swirl of grinding, crunching cakes, being hurried on to the south. The bridges were soon filled with throngs of people who had been aroused by the noise, and who hastened to view one of the grandest sights ever witnessed In this vicinity. Very little damage waa done to property, as the Ice seems to have left the river clear below, gnd no gorge was formed.

For th year 1909. the. latest complete statistic available there were only 204.136 beeves killed at La Vlllett. However, the total number ' of animal killed has increased considerably.
