pounded the lock to the enclosure to pieces,

The other evening young gentleman of
this place called upon young lady. Dur
ing his visitthe sntjest of marriage came up
for discussion, and in the conversation that
followed the young man deplored the fact
that married ladies were compelled to do
housework. He became eloquent finally. and
with all the dignity at his command, he de-
clared he intended marrying some day, land
whs: is more," he continued, "my wife shall
not work, for propose to always keep a
midwife about the house." The young

He WAS IN A HURRY i
4 Bear that Liked Fish, but a Man
that Didn't Like the Bear.

We would like to give the name of the
hero in this story. but he has been laughed
at go much by ! g boys thai We are afraid
his usual patience and good nature are ex-
hausied, and he would not feel kindly to-
ward US should we publish him TO the
world. Suffice IL TO say he does not live
thousand miles from Roseburg. and is no
ted for the many stories hs tells of mar.
velous bear hunts. He is also quite q fish,
erman, and this last passion led him to
$ TX the headwaters Of the North
Cmpqua in quest OF mountain trout.
ihere were two other boys with him in
the trip, and they were hunters. One
merning our hero took his line and pole
and started up the river. he soon found a
place where the water dashed over q cas-
cade and settled in deed pool below. 1t
was just such place as true fisherman
Is pleased 10 see, but to reach the pool 1t
was necessary TO wade out into the watsr
distance of thirty feet This was done, and
the line cast. The M ment the artificial
hy of the angler struck the water and be-
gan tripping over the ripples in the ours
rent. halfsl,ound trout struck the hook
with snap and was swung out o. the wa
Ler without trouble. Having no basket the
fisherman tossed the fish over his head TO
lhe bank behind without turning round.
The fly again struck the water, again it
was taken by a hungry trout and again the
.rout was thrown to the bank after being
lnhooked. So the sport continued until
thirty fac trout had been caught just
then there was a smnckinQ of lips and
;nappiDg OF teeth. The fisherman turned
about. Behind him on the bank sat Gins
namon bear who was playing short stop"
The presence Of bruin was discovered by
.he fisherman Just as he bad tossed a fish
20 the bank and the bear WAS in the act of
catching it on the fly. One glance ook in
,he whole situation. The bear had ate the
ish as fast as caught. and had, in gymnas-
tic style. taken them in while In the air.
The fisherman wasn't mad at the bear; he
didn't even feel like wadlng back to the
bank and cutting bruins ears. Hu simply
remarked, Great gaud = apd waded over
TO the other side of the river, to be greeted
by the laughter of his friends who had been
patient watchers of the scene, and who, by
well-directed shots from their Winchester
rifles. soon put an end TO bruins existence.

CHASED By M0lvEsl
Narrow Escape Of Mr.. Jas. billiard.

Mr.. Jas. billiard had narrow escape
from being eaten by wolves in the neigh
boihood of Steamboat creek, some thiity-
Eve miles FROM this city last week. He
had two horses with him, and was engag.
in prospecting. The wolves large gray
fslIows) evidently wanted the horses at
frst but as they were then but few in
numbers Mr. billiard retreated and man.
aged to keep the animals back for time.
Their continued howlings coon brought
more wolves to the band which at last
numbered fifty. Mr.. billiard then stripped
his horses OF their packs and saddles and
turned them loose. and the frightened
brutes soon creased Steamboat and put
good stream Of water bstwsen them and
the wolves which then turned TOR the rider.
Mr.. Dil'srd escaped after hard run by
climbing tree.
This is the frat time that the wolves
have dared to show fight in this way but
Mr.. billiard was high up In the mountains
where tho animals seldom see man. and
probably have not yet learned to be afraid

pany will be- used to re-elect Judge Prim
to the Supreme Court, since the Judge

We would respectfully ask Judge Prim how
much toll is being charged for passage
over the road noe; and would suggest
tha Fink and Gazley's votes caanot pos
sibly control the county. Why, Gazley
couldn's even control the actions Of dusky
maiden OF the forest; but then Judge
Prim could not have made a mistake in
his opinion as to who were the proprie-
tors Of the Canyon road. since he worked
on the case years before it was decided,
and certainly must have had plenty of
time 10 make up his opinion.

Sudden Death.

Mr.. James a. Neal, residing about
sever miles north of Sturgeon, in
Sailing township, Audrain county,
died very suddenly, and, we might
say, in an unknown manner, {as no
one was present when he died) last
Monday. Early in the morning he
left the house apparently i'll his usual
good health, but in the evening he
was found dead a short distance
from the house. No one knows the
cause or manner of his death: proba-
bly, he was sun-struck, or, perhaps,
suffered an apoplectic fit. All that
is known is that he suffered a vio-
lent death; the signs where he fell
showed that he mad clutched vio-
lently at the grass while he lay in
his death agonies.
Mr.. Neal was in the neighborhood
of eighty years old and was remarka-
bly, stout for II of his years. lie
was large, square built and heavy
and possessed of an iron constitu-
ton. Although an octogenarisn lie
had not a decayed tooth in his head.
