Mr.. Noah Garlitz, of Garrett County,
Nd, while searching for his cattle in the
woods recently, was attacked by huge
black bear. The farmers dog rescued
him by attacking the bear, and fierce
conflict ensued between the two animals.
Mr.. Garlitz procured rifle from his home
near by, and returned, accompanied by
his daughter Annie, eleven years of age.
He found the dog and bear still struggling
together, and ball from his rifle wound
ed the bear. In attempting to make
step forward Mr.. Garlitz stumbled and
fell, which aroused the painting, bleeding
animal. AS it attempted to rise Annie
stepped over her PROSTATE father, and
snatching the gun, took steady aim and
fred, sending a leaden missile crashing
through his brain.
A little twelve-year-old girl in Knox
vile, Iowa, was frightened to death by
severe thunder storm few nights ago.
She had been quite well the dsy before,
but awoke during the storm and besought
her mother to take her to her bed, "for
she was afraid of thunder" Her suppl
cations were unheeded, and soon the
mother was aroused by the child's diff
cult breathing. Approaching the bed
with a light, she found her in 4 dying
condition, and in few moments she had
breathed her last.
George F. Kyle, aged II, and Lizzie May
Hollingshead, aged -, both Of kenton

orphan, and in order to get license to
marry, the father of the bridegroom quail
flied as her guardian and then gave his
written consent to the marriage. Her
wedding dress was the first long dress she
ever wore, and the pair had more the ap-
pearance Of a couple Of rather small chill
dren dressed for fancy ball than princi-
pals ut wedding.
While four children Of Lyman Haviland

Chief of the Boston District Police in
Pemberton Square, was shot in the left
arm and right shoulder by Richard Bren-
nan, crank recently discharged from the

A De.Derate Csaracter.-our

readers may not have entirely forgotten
of the arrest of desperate character End
of last October, at Frederick City, by De-
tective Greentree, of Baltimore, named
Richard s., alias Joseph Bradley, on the
charge of stealing two horses and jaeger
wagon from George NJ. Stonehraker, of
this city, on Saturday night, September
sOth. Bradley was taken before Justice
Stokes of Frederick and by him commit
ted for hearing on Wednesday. Officers
Chas. Darner and Deputy Alonza Benner,
without searching the prisoner and dis
arming him, placed him in buggy and
took him to the county Jail to lock him up.
As officer Darner got out Of the buggy,
Bradley drew a revolver and pointing it
at the officer, said, "Git, you -" OAR
ner grabbed the revolver and called to
Benner for help. Deputy Sheriff Benner
responded to the call, when Bradley let
90 tue revolver, drew another and fired at
Benner. The Deputy Sheriff returned
the fire, and In turn Bradley fired sec
ond shot, which struck Benner in the
right arm and side, disabling the deputy.
The prisoner then whipped up the horse,
and after driving about three miles out
of town left the buggy and took to corn
field, making his escape. Nothing more
was ever heard or seen of him until yes
tcrday. At the suggestion of States At
torney Remley, yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Benner and Constable Darner, of Freder-
lex, came to this city and visited the jail
for the purpose of taking look at Frank
Hudson, recently arrested in Tennessee,
charged with stealing horse and buggy
from Mr.. W. II. c. Kemp, near Williams
port, with the vague hope that perhaps
they might find their man Bradley. They
were admitted to the Jail, and as soon as
they saw the prisoner Frank Hudson rec
ornized him rs the same man with whom
they had the desperate encounter last DC
Der ~ Frederick, and who, after shooting
Benner, made his escape. This is most
important discovery, and will help to
complicate Hudson's case very much. 1t
really looks as if the officers had captured
king bee.-Hagersto,on odd Fellop.
A detective who is employed in this
case was in Shepherdstown on Tuesday
seeking for evidence against Hudson for
robbing Mr.. w. Il. Lemen's store last
summer. Hudson spent several weeks
here last August, and few days after he
left Mr.. Lemen's store was robbed Of
goods of considerable value, and no clue
could be obtained to the thieves. 1t is
now thought that Hudson had hand III
the affair Mr.. Lemen went to layers
town on Tuesday, but we believe nothing
has been proven yet to connect Hudson
with the robbery.
