upon to take part in novel meeting
last Wednesday evening. From what
we gather it seems that the petty
feud between w. S. Calhoun and G.
w. Lane still continues, and each one
strives in doing and saying mean
things to annoy the other. Both &C.
cupy the same house and claim To
have possession to the exclusion of
the other. The latest overt act was
the breaking Of door lock by one Of
the parties, whereupon the other
nailed the door up hard and last.
The first party then retaliated by bar
Reading one Of the principal doors Of
the house. These proceedings have
excited and worried Mrs. Calhoun q
great deal, she being Of nervous
temperament naturally and in bac
health at this time, and SO che calleo
upon the citizens of Colfax to protect
her from these petty aanoyances oi
the part of g. w. Lane. The meeting
was attended BY twenty or more cat,

A Bear In Pownal.

At an early hour Wednesday morning
great excitement was created In the
little village of Pownal, VT, by the
appearance on the main street of huge
black bear. The alarm was sounded,
and mothers gathering their children in
their arms fed to their houses aud
bolted and barred the doors. The male
portion of the population shouted them
selves hoarse from second story win
dows in urging the dogs of the village
to attack the bear. The CANNES at first
attacked bruin with a great deal of
spirit, but after majority of the dogs
had been rendered hors de combat the
others kept a most respectful distance
and contcnted themselves with barking
as loud as their masters shouted from
the housetops. The bear for considera.
BILE time was monarch of all he survey
ed, but finally after smellinglabout the
village to his hearts content, he moved
on up the railroad track in the direction
of North Pownal. At this juncture
Porter E. Brown appeared upon the
ecene armed and equipped to do battle
with the bear. Bracing himself along
side a telegraph pole he took deliberate
aim and pulled the twigger. The ball
took effect in vital portion of the
bears anatomy and In a moment
his life's blood was pouring out and
falling into the little Hoossc river
below. Brown had killed the bear.
and the news OF his victory soon spread
to both villages. Brown was now the
hero of the day. The body of the dead
bear was carried in triumph through
the streets of the village, but in the
midst of the general rejoicing two
Italians arrived upon the scene and
commoiion they broke fits the mt1hsf

plantations followed, as soon as the
strangers could regain their equilibrium
sufficient to converse in broken English,
when 1t was learned that the bear was
their property and that they were trav-
elling about the country exhibiting him
anb reaping harvest of pennies and
Dickels from the multitude who wit
messed his performances. The TIA
lians had caInped out during the night
and at an early hour in the morning,
probably being hungry, the bear es.
capped from his fastenings and wandered
into the village in search of a breakfast.
This fOraging expedition cost him his
life. Brown offered the carcass of the
bear to the Italians but they ref used to
accept it. Their grief at the loss of
their pet was terrible to behold TROY
