A Plucky Indian.

An Indian known as Peaving Tom -
had a hand-to-hand encounter with a
lot of bears one day last week, on the
mountain above Bucks ranch, which
must have been terrible battle. He
was hunting in the locality spoken of
and found "bear wallow" in little
valley, and suddenly came upon five
bears. He says he shot one, killing it,
when another attacked him. His only
dependence was in his butcher-knife, and
with this he managed to kill the second
one. About this time another one at
tackled him, and the conflict must have
been fearful. Part of the Indians scalp
was torn from his head, his face badly
lacerated, and his arm, side and one
thigh fairly "eaten up" No bones were
broken, however, and he managed to
stagger and crawl to the road, where he
was found and taken to Bucks ranch.
Mr.. Wagner dressed his wounds, and at
last accounts he was improving and in
a fair way to recover. He says he would
have been killed but that he kept his
face down most of the time and let the
bears bite at his back. A party went
out to the scene of the fight and found
the three bears dead and the Indians
knife sticking in one of them. He must
have been "game to the backbone" and
deserves a title of the "boss BEAR
hunter. "-NevadG Citp Herald.

Possibilities of the Balloon.

Prof. King, the balloonist, talks most
sensibly with regard to the possibilities
of the balloon. He tells New York
Express reporter that it can never be
used rs a carrier in the strict sense of
the term, because that is impracticable;
but for scientific research it is the only
means we have of studying the higher
regions and learning about the upper
currents about the formation of rain
and snow, and the action of storms. 1t
is the only thing by which we can reach
point in the heavens clear Of the
earth; and for these purposes it is in
valuable. The day will never come
when balloons will be made to navigate
the air against the currents. That can
only be done by flying machines having
momentum, which balloon is without.
You cannot throw tuft of cotton
against the wind, for the reason that it
has no resistance. The balloons mis-
sion is scientific in several ways. In
case of war it has been very useful in
escaping from besieged cities, Paris for
instance, and for military operations it
is the only way you have of looking
into the enemy's Notifications with i'm
punity. 1t is also valuable for looking
down into deep water. From balloon
you can look down t. the bottom of
very deep water, because you are away
far enough to overcome the reflection
of the sky. In these ways balloons can
be made very useful, but as carrying
agent Mr.. King cannot see how they
are to be utilized.

Last Friday while Cary Rousch and
Augustus Cloud were hauling wheat
from the field for Mr.. link, living few
miles northwest of lola, a thunder stor Il
came up, and as the rain began to de,
scend they crawled under the wagon for
protection from the rain. While sitting
there flash of lightning struck the
wagon, passing down the tires of the
hind wheels, stunning both Of the men
severely and killing one of the horses
Mr.. Rousch told us that he was sitting
within foot and half of the wheel al
tho time the flash struck it. The curl
Gus and fortu nate part was that they
were not in stantly killed. The bundle.
of wheat were set on fire as was also the
stubble near the wheels. The fire was
easily put out by the aid Of the binding
rain. The affair is q curious illustration
of what lightning will and will not do.

It seems to Us that two mistakes have
been made in the erection of the new

Side the Assessor and his assistants we're very

to some personal engagements of Mr. Sokup,
did not finish its 1abors, and will sit again Mon
day, when all the complaints that are to come
will probably have been made: Henry, Barker,
&; Co., lumber dealers, complained yesterday
that their assessment OF $25*000 was too high,
and wanted it reduced to $1,000, ana in the af-
teruoon man was sent to their yard to look It
up. Mr.. Billings, oi the PEOPLES Gas Company,
gas-mains, ETC., but will probably do 50 Mon
day. The West Division Railway. through

they propose to list on & the South Side, "hfse
