A struggle between a man and a bear oc-
CURED in the basement Of Hellriogens
butcher shop on Seneca street on Sunday
afternoon and proved quite exciting for u
time. II seems that fine young black bear,
weighing over 200 pounds, was purchased
at the cattle yards by Mr.. Hellriegel. Young
Bruin, fresh from the woods Of Northern
Michigan, was transferred in safety to the
cellar on Seneca street, into which he was
dumped, cage and all. Then the question
arose how to chain the brute. Finally u
stout fellow, Jack Smith, truckman, under.
took to put the fetters on, and descended
into the cellar all alone, carrying lighted
handle between his teeth Bruin showed
fight and clinched the newcomer A tussle
lasting fully five minutes ensued, Smith
getting the best Of the bear only after nu.
merous scratches and teeth prints had been
received. Then he marched triumphantly
upstairs, dragging his prize after him.

CoNCuo, December 26.-Mr. John Pendls-
ton, of the firm of Pendleton & Blanchard,
one of our most prominent citizens, and
constable, was shot this morning through
the heart, and instantly killed, while stand
ing in his door. The circumstances attend
ing the sad event, are as follows: Twomen,
named Mike Houston, a gambler, and
Charles keene, bartender in leading sa-
oon, became engaged in quarrel Beth
resorted to their six. shooters to settle the
dispute, and commenced firing at each other
right in the middle of the street, where
throngs OF people were congregated. Mr..
Pendleton, hearing the shooting, stepped
towards the door, when ball from one of
the pistols passed through the door through
the heart Of Pendleton, and struck another
man in the shoulder, but it being spent,
was not hurt. Keene and Houston had by
this time emptied their siX-shooters, and
Sheriff Spears coming up, arrested and
lodged both in Jail Ben Ficklin. The
community feel that it was purely an acci-
dental shooting, but severely censure the
men for such reckless work, where the
| lives of dozen persons were put in jeop-
ardy. Mr.. Pensleton will be buried to-day
by the Odd Fellows, to which order he
belonged.
Last evening Paddy Proctor, loose char
acter here, attempted suicide by morphine.
Medical aid was called and he will live to
have a second chance TO take his life.
Christmas passed off very quietly with
| the above exceptions.
1t is understood the line of Balm e Cas-
trois will be taken off between Concho,
Stockton and Davis, on January lst, owing
to the new mail route via Texas & Pacific
