Bear Killed Near Magnolia.

The Magnolia FVo,oer, published at Mag
report:
On last Thursday morning. the twenty.
sixth ultimo, Mr.. Thomas Clemens. living
one mile southeast of town, came in much
hurry and excitement, reporting that he
had, few moments previous, seen large
bear in his corn field, devouring the fruits
OF his labors. ''Tom" was not long in rally
ing to his assistance a goodly number of
gentlemen who love the fun of bear hunt
ing. And away they went to find the truth
of Toms" bear story. 1t was necessary
first to get some good dogs, and so General
McCown made tracks tor Captain Billy
Reid's who always keeps the ''best pack of
dogs in the country" The captain was
hard at work in his corn field, but when the
general told him that tom" had found "a
bear" he was not long in footing" up his
dogs, and soon had them trailing the bears
tracks. All were on their stands, waiting
patiently for the bear to make its appear
ance. Soon the crack of a gun was heard,
together with much yelling. Captain Reid
had shot "a bear" But it was well much
yelling was had, for the bear had only been
only slightly wounded and made for
Billy's "crust." The bear seemed to saw:
"You can't come that on me. Billy Reid
The captain managed to keep the bear off
by Jobbing it in the mouth with the muzzle
of his gun until assistance arrived. The
bears attention was drawn from Billy by
the dogs laying hold of his hams. The
other hunters poured volley of shot into
the black varmint which settled his hash.
Who was the bravest and who was the
most cowardly, we will not say, but it looks
IKE one must have been brave to get upon
a high stump right over the bear.
Upon the whole the gentlemen made it /
quite successful hunt. A bear was ac-
tually killed in one mile of the courthouse.
1t is supposed that there are more in the
Nations Creek bottom. If we see one, we
will go Immediately and notify Captain
Reid that we have found bear

Ihe report OF the board of experts, con-
'sisting OF Messrs. Fletcher, Van Dorbitt
ana copeland, ON the causes of the West
field explosion, says:
After thoroughly testing the steam gauge
1t was discovered that In no case did II
indicate less than the true pressure The
safety valve, however, at one test, blew off
freely at twenty-four pounds pressure; at
another test, twenty-seven and twenty-eight
pounds. The lock valve blew off thirty-two
pounds by the mercury gauge, showing
either that the scale had been laid originally
incorrectly; that the valve had become less
sensitive by oxidation or by the rust of the
parts The tests OF the six plates of iron
taken from the boiler showed an average
strength with the grain of 45,079 pounds
per square inch, and across the grain 1884
The experts in the testimony given after
the presentation of their report, Expresses
the bellef that the cause OF the explosion
was an old defect in the boiler, which Mr..
Fletcher of the board, saws was started by
the tools of the workmen when the boiler
was made, and had been increasing up to
the time of the explosion
Mr.. Vanderbilt testified that the primary
cause of the Westfeld explosion was an old
defect IN the boiler He thought that the
pressure at the time of the explosion ex-
ceeded twenty-seven pounds. and that the
steam gauge would have been seen to indi-
cate a greater pressure than any one noticed
at the moment. The boiler contained plenty
of water.

The New York Herald says of Mrs. Fairs

Our San Francisco correspondent had a
somewhat remarkable interview recently
with Mrs. Fair, the murderess of Critten-
den, in her cell in the San Francisco Jail.
This strange woman, it seems, contested the
right OF Crittenden to live with his wife.
because they did not love one another, and
holds to it that she lthe murderess) and
Crittenden were the lawful pair, because
they did love one another. Accordingly. in
moment of temporary insanity, she shot.
Critenden, and now regretted only one
thing-that he was not present to defend
her. She feels confident of a final reprieve,
because, as she says, her case is a political
one, and when she is tried again there will
be new judge on the bench. In other
words, she .wagers her life on the election,
and stands fair to lose.
