Messrs. Sandcrson & Stilson, former
ly OF Wisconsin, have just embarked ex-
tensively in the sheep business They
have located their ranch in Tom Green
County, including Good and Dove
Springs, their pasturage embracing 49,
600 acres. These gentlemen begin their
business with about 1000 head Of the
best high-grade merino ewes that could
be found in Texas. The last lot they
purchased, 1000, were picked from the
celebrated flock of Mr.. George REYNOLDS
Of Nueces County and cost IS per head.
II is thought the lot Of ewes Messrs.
Sanderson 4 Stilson have is the finest
large lot ever gotten together in Texas.
MIR. Stilson is als0 en- route TO Tom
Green County with 1900 head Of i'm
ported merino ewes, selected from the
purest and best flocks of the North.
The property Of this firm in Texas will
be under the control and supervision of
Mr. Sanderson, assisted by his son. He
thinks, after having travelled extensive
ly, and especially in Kansas and Colo
RADIO, that Tom Green County Is the best
section for sheep-raising that he has
seen. Having the animals and the
pasture lands, the next object will be to
erect such buildings and pens as are
necessary to the proper management Of
the business and for general comfort
and convenience. Hence there will be
at once dwelling house,

tlemen contemplate doing business on a
very extensive scale, and TO this end

The New York Times Of Jan. 1 has
the following: A great many visitors
were drawn to one Of the minor hotels
ON Coney Island during the past two
summers by the antics Of two trained
bears chained 10 stakes in front Of the
house alluded 70. One popularity OF
the bears, and one which provoked
much mirth and proved most profitable
TO the proprietor Of the hotel, was their
|inordinate capacity for beer. The male
bear, an animal Of unusual size and
beauty, for bear, who was known As
big Ben, has frequently drank as many
As 80 bottles of lager beer day. He
used to stand on his hind feet, and.
holding the bottle with his fore paws.
swallow its contents. Like many ami
mails Of q higher order, Big Ben never
knew when to stop, and would often be-
come very drunk. While in this condi-
tion he was frequently kicked and cuff
ed about by the men who
had given him the beer. In the win
ter time the bears were taken 10
Parkyille and chained in yard oppo-
site Thom's Road House. On Monday
AFTERNOON party Of boys commenced
snow-ballng the bears, and were driven
away by Mr.. Thorn. About an hour az
terward a lad named Samuel Stretch,
thirteen years Of age, who had frequent
Nv played with the bears, approached
The larger Of the animals for the pur-
pose of petting him. When young
Stretch came sufficiently near, Big Ben
suddenly sprang upon him. Rendered
furious by the snow balling which he
had received some time before, the an
NAL clasped the boy with his fore paws,
md, hugging him tightly, crushed in
lis ribs. At the same time the bear
ank his teeth into the boys neck, sew
ring the jugular vein, and infltcting
wound that proved almost instantly ia

When young Stretch first found him
ELF being drawn into the fatal embrace
( the bear he cried out in terror. A
tabe-man working near by heard the
nv, and, armed with a pitchfork,
ushed to the lads assistance, but the
ug and bite which ended the boys life
Fere the work Of an instant. The
Fagedy occurred in full sight Of the

ear. The brute growled furiousIy and
moved a disposition to fight. Mr.. 4
HON, armed with hatchet, struck the
Fute on the head, and Mr.. Peter Raven I

tretch was carried TO Thom's hotel
was quite dead. Notwithstanding

ows from the Ratchet, it took five
lots from revolver and two shots
