Porter Stockton, .ex-Marshal of Ami.
mas City, met his death at his ranch in
New Mexico, thirty five miles down the
Animas, on Tuesday, at the hands of a
party of eighteen, who called for the
purpose of exterminating him. They
surrounded his house. and Stockton and
wife both came armed to the door with
rifles. Both sides opened fire, and Stock
ton fell pierced with eighteen bullets.
His wife, who had fired one shot, was
struck in the abdomen by splinter from
the stock of her rifle, which had received
bullet. AT last accounts she was liv-
ing, but no hopes are entertained of her
recovery, as she was in delicate state
of health at the time of receiving the
wound. Porter Stockton, who is well
known, has been terror to the COM
munity wherever he has lived, and lays
claim to the killing of nineteen men,
which is fair average for man of his
years-about 80. He slew his first man
when only l2 years of age for calling him
liar, shooting the top of his head off.
At Cimmarron he shot Mexican in his
bed because he was snoring, and it

Jail. His brother Ike took in some pies

the cell, when Ike pulled pop and in

with Winchester as his protector. Al

Hurricane Bill, who was Marshal Of the

DAMASCUS lPa.l, Jcausry 90 Lottie
Merrill, the female hunter of this section,
has Just had another adventure worthy
of record and one which came so near
costing her her life that she will probably
in the future never resume her masculine
sport. A few days ago, just after the
great sleet storm which swept over the
country, Lottie determined to go deer
hunting. Donning her snowshoes she
started to cross Orig swamp, dense
mass of scrub oaks and laurel. When
she had reached the center of the marsh
she discovered the footprints of very
large bear on the crust. She followed
the trail out of the swamp for about two
miles, when she discovered the den
which the animal inhabited Entering
the cave she found two little cubs ON
bed of leaves in one corner. The cubs
were about the size of kittens and were
easily captured.
Lottie was just emerging from the
cave when she was met by an immense
she bear The bear had heard the cubs
yell and was making all possible speed
to rescue them. Before Lottie could
draw her rifle to her shoulder the animal
was upon her and grasping her in her
paws gave her such terrible squeeze
that she tainted, when the bear, think
ing her dead, released her grip. She
fortunately regained consciousness quick
ly, and while the old bear was playing
with her cubs the plucky hunter drew
her rifle and shot her in the side. The
bullet did not strike the animals heart,
and as the brute dashed All her again
Lottie drew her hunting knife and with
one bold stroke severed the bears head
from the body.
Lottie was just congratulating herself
on her successful escape when the dead
bears mate made his appearance. Lot.
ties rifle was unloaded and she was
totally unprepared for a fresh encounter,
but determined to eight it out" The
struggle was long one. Fortunately
the young lady was not encountered il
her motions by petticoat, for in all hel
expeditions she wears pantaloons Of doe
skin, with long blouse. When, finally
Lottie thought the bear was dead sht
stopped. over to cut his throat, and tn,
animal with one stroke of his monstrou
paw, tore the clothing almost completed,
from her body. During the protractet
struggle the bear had reached the edge o
cliff fully hundred feet high ant
sloping at an angle of more than forty
live degrees down to the Wallinpaupacl
creek. As the animal grabbed Lotti
he commenced sliding on the slipper
crust down this almost perpendicula
slope. Lottie was carried with him, an
every foot of distance traversed adde
to their velocity. When they reache
the foot of the slope they struck agains
tree, completely killing the bear an
breaking two of Lottie's ribs, her lei
arm and one of her limbs. She managed
however, to crawl about mile to
house, where she received medical trea
ment The first bear killed weighe
when dressed 403 pounds and the ma
one 4S4 pounds. Lottie, who is in
proving slowly, has the cubs in her po
session, but she says it will be some tin
before she will take another expedite
of the kind.

THE VOICE OF FISHES. Some dis
cussion has recently taken place in re-
gard to the voice of fishes. A correspon-
dent to the Scientific American, writing
from Parkersburg, West Virginia, says
with reference to a note on the subject
in a late number that the white perch
Of the Ohio river will often follow boat
for a considerable distance, all the time
making peculiar humming noise like
that of telegraph wire in the wind.
He has heard fish make the same
sound when imprisoned in box to keep
it alive.
