A Bear Story.

The Southern Californian, published
at Bakersfield, Kern County, Cal, re-
lates this adventure with bear: Wal
ter, the renowned bear-hunting sailor,
has deserted his camp in the Tejon
Mountains, where for two weeks he has
been showed in, with nothing to eat ex-
.cept -four for most of the time. just be-
fore the snow came on he started out for
deer. The weather had been warm for
several days.. and the deer kept well
upon the hills. At last he wounded one
land followed it for mile, when it gave
out and he soon had it dressed. But he
was four miles from camp and he could
only carry one-quarter of it with his rifle,
having the mountains to climb. AS he
crossed the creek, with his load strung
with his belt-strap over his shoulders,
he sat down to wash his hands.
On. looking up he saw something pull
ing at the yepison he had left hanging to
sapling. He WAS not more than fifty
yards away, and he rose to his feet for a
better look and saw grizzly busy maxi
ing square meal. He could not resist
drawing his rifle on him and looking
through the sights. The bear did not
see him. After taking aim for some
time and thinking he could make q toll
erable sure thing with an ounce ball,
stopping occasionally to look over his
gun and take the better measure of the
beast, he drew fine sight, waited an
instant till the broadside of the face was
well toward him, then touched the trig-
ger.
The bear bounded in the air as II it had
been shot out of the gun itself, and WAL
ter at the same time bounded for a tree.
He had no more than caught limb be-
fore he saw the bear was making to-
ward him. Up the tree he went, the
quarter Of venison still strapped to his
back. He had hardly reached his length
above the ground before the bear, as if
just seeing him, and frightened, wheeled
and fed the other way. He thinks the
ball hit the bear ON the side of the head,
glanced off, and so confused the beast
that,he did not know which way he was
running. He says he has not had a
nights sleep since without seeing the
grizzly close upon him.

MONDAY.

ON our iirst examination Of the testl-
mony of the man Bell, given before the
Investigating Committee at Washing
ton,s we became satisfied, from
perusali Of the testimony itself, that
the mans story was altogether unre-
liable. There were found in it just
enough OF facts to serve as. a string to
hang falsehoods upon and make them
appear plausible. But since it has
been made known that he was
a "dead beat" and offered
ITO sell his professed information
FOR aprice, we have been confirmed in
our conclusion that he is not at all reli-
bable as witness for or against anybody !;
and that the Committee are doing them
selves injustice in spending valuable
time on such cattle.
We have no great reliance upon the
testimony Of professional detectives
under any circumstances; for the rea-
son that they are always strongly
biased in favor Of a, particular theory,
;and are Of course unwilling to let
their opinions be overthrow for want
of testimony that they can themselves
supply. Besides that, there is al
ways the influence Of both pecuniary
and professional advantage bearing
upon their minds to bend itin favor of
their own success in every case. If this
ybe true Of detectives even of the better
lclass.. how much more strongly must it
apply to this man Bell, who is shown to
be a''dead beat" detective; by which is
meant, a detective out of money and out
of employment. His own account of
himself shows him to be common ad-
Venturer, a spy In war and spy in time
Of peace. Oall him ssdetectiye," il you
pleasss but the character and the func-
ton are the same.
We don't care groat as to whether
Bell's testimony will harm OF heal any
one's case. But we would deem it dan
gerous ground for the Committee to rest
upon when they found their proceedings
against public men upon testimony of
such man as G. S. Bell is shown to be.
He is but of o class Of men who are
anxians to be mixed In such matters,
mo matter in what manner, for the sake
of the notoriety thereby obtained. Such
witnesses are always exaggerating and
unreliable.

WHEELER ON THE DEFENSIVE.
The Times and Tribune published to-
day an extraordinary defense or apology
for William A. Wheeler in his black
mailing operation in the matter Of the
Ogdensburgh and Champlain railroad.
The apology does not deny a single alle-
CATION. of the charge, and only states with
much parade of words, some facts entire
ly irrelevant to the issue, and which were
stated also when the charge was made.
The charge is not answered, but shirked.
The allegation was not that William A.
Wheeler acted without cover of forms of
law, but that he abused the forms of law
&o Love, III N olrD,o;l opd thof tho yarv low
which he made use of TO force sl5s 100000
out of the stockholders, Of which $2O,-
100000, went directly to his own pocket,
was drawn by him and passed by hisper-
sonal exertions for that purpose, and had
no other force or effect whatever than to
compel the stockholders to submit to the
legalized .plunder. This is the charge.
It has not been met, and cannot be. It
is useless for Wheeler to try to dodge the
question. He ought to know that this is
very bad year to attempt to throw dust
in the eyes of the people.
