From the Kalamazoo Gazette we
learn that Mr.. A. Reese, of Cooper, and
his men were chased by black bear on
Monday. The race is said to have been
very exciting one, the men doing
their level best, and the bear gaining
on them, until each man had secured
a club, and out Of breath, turned to
fight for their lives. The bear seemed
to be taken by surprise at this piece of
audaciousness, and stood upon its hind
legs and looked at them in utter aston
ishment for moment aud then broke
across wheat field and entered the
residence of Mr.. Ferguson. Mr.. +. be-
ing a sort of Quaker, did not believe
in opening hostilitles with the bear un.
til he was obliged to, SO he set some
bread and milk where Bruin could Get
at it, and the poor brute ate it with q
relish, and did not seem at all inclined
canibalism. They made friends will
the animal, and Immediately sent word
to Kalamazoo. Messrs. Richardson &
Wattles sent buggy down after Bruin
and she was brought home chere sh,
belonged. 1t seems the bear was tam,
one and had wandered away from
home.

Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1872-03-14
KNOXVILLE, Iowa, /
March 8, 1872. {

ED. Iowa VOTER, Dear Sir:-Think-
ing an article in regard to the County
finances might be of general interest
to your readers, I have prepared a
short statement of the cole ctions for
February, which you can publish if
you see fit.
The total collections in February
amount to $3S, 1870, of which amount
$3S, 149. SO is for the year 1871. The
whole levy for 1871, exclusive of Rail-
road, is $l19, l39.43, which is now not
quite one-half collected. Notwith-
standing the hard times, the collec-
tons in February, 1872, exceed those
of any other year except 1868, and
only fell about 5000 below that year
excepting, of course, the Railroad
Tax of 1871.
OF the large amount collected in
February, 1871, only s3,347.6o goes out
of the County. That amount goes to
Des Moines, as State taxes on two
mills levy. Where then is the bal
arice? 5000. 10 of it is County fund,
and is expended in paying the Off
GERS salaries, keeping up the Poor
Farm, and supporting its inmates, be-
