Fate deals cruelty at times with the
tenGerest of her offspring, and when pref

life in her fathers home she hardly
dreamed that death would come TO her in
public institution. Reared IN refine
nent, educated highly, and married at
the early age Of Il years, her young life
was full OF cOntentment and promise.
Her father was elevated TO the ONCE OF
Mayor Of Toronto, and brother so car
ried himself with valor in an indian cam
paign of the English army that he was
selected for the honor OF knighthoOd. But
reyerses came and rather and mother
died, brother was stricken fatally before
he could receive his enyied title, and hus'
band, too, was called 10 his last abode,
and as ne left his estates involved, the
young wife was left almost pennlless and
alone.
Coming to New York, Florence Scott
Marden-thatwa the youngwidow's name
obtained employment as "a copyist III the

II think Mrs. Marden was born in Ply

manager OF the Guardian Insurance Com

where She had lived for a number Of
years. What worried her most was the
fact Of her pOV arty, while money was due
her from her husbands estate. In some
way or another her husbands property
was held in cbancery in London. and it
was only few days before her death that
she learned that G25, 900 had at last been
awarded to her. Her lawyer is now in

Mrs. B0kee. formerly matron OF the
Home for Friendless Young Girls, was
called upon by reporter, at No. Is West
seventeenth street, last evening, for the
history Of the young woman, but she was
extremely reticent. She only SAID that
her late charge had died of typhoid fever,
and that she was buried in Evergreens
cemetery on Friday.
MIR. WinterbOttOm. the undertaken who
buried the remains, said that all he knew
Of the case was that Mr.. Bowers had be-

GRIZZLY BEARS.
Chasing Drove of Them in California
in 1S43.
From the Sacramento Bee.

From the Sacramento Bee.
At the dinner given last week by win
s. Green to the pioneers of Colusa county,
Gen. Bidwell told this remarkable bear
story:
81 did not visit this part of the valley,
in the present boundaries Of COlusa cOun-
ty, until the month Of March. 1913, and it
was by coming across at French crossing,
on Butte creek. l remember the scene
that greeted me as, when we were within
about three miles OF Butte creek, we saw
big grizzly jump up and make for the
creek. The bear in early spring used to
frequent the little patches Of clover that
grew in abundance in spots here and
there-generally in little depressions. MIR.
Grizzly that we first saw was not long
alone. Pretty soon another and then an
other jumped up, and when we came to
Butte creek we had a drove of sixteen
big grizzlies. was riding very high
lived sOrrel horse ! singled out the larg-
est grizzly, and was determined to kill
him, but every time ! attempted to raise
my gun my horse would commence buck
Ing and jumping furiously, so that
could not get shot at him. Finally
chased him until thought he was almost
out OF breath--got TO going very slow.
He did not run very fast, because he was

est, think, of all them, and l determined
to have shot at him. went up to al
most 30 feet of him and got of my horse,
and the horse tried to pull away from me,
and the bear stopped and raised on his
hind feet, and stood about or 8 feet high /;
and then have recollection that my
hair stood up too. j finally got my horse
subdued, but the bear had gone on to-
ward Butte creek, so l was greatly disap-
pointed, as / did not get the bear.
We got into COlusa county and pretty
soon a grizzly sprang up. and put after
him; and pretty soon he turned and put
after me, aud for about a quarter of
a mile every jump he made he just
struck my horses tail; and Peter
Lassen, all he did was to tell me
TO run. He might have come up and di-
verified the bears attention, but no, be let
the bear alone. But had the advantage
of the bear, as | was on good horse, and
pretty soon we came TO place where
there was slough, and then l made him
go into the water; then knew what to do.
When he got up on the other side l was
ready. He crawled up slowly. all drip
ping wet; then he raised up on his hind
feet TO look at me. My gun went of, and,
10! | saw a stream of blood about as large
as my arm, apparently, squirt into the air,
and then be gave two or three bounds and
fell dead. That is the way we used to at
tend TO grizzlies IN those days. ! did not
see any grizzlies yesterday coming along.
Things have been changed"

Interesting and Diversified Facts and

Interesting and Diversified Facts and Figures.
 The report of the bank commissioners which is just issued, and it's figures afford al opportunity for numerous interesting stud ies. The total deposits in the eighty-fou1 banks amount to $92 ,4S1 ,425. This is an in crease of about 1866, 900 during the year. There are now 256, ,o97 depositors. If each was an individual and citizen of Connecticut then more than third of the State would be personally interested in the banks. Prob ably, however, in many cases the same per- son has accounts in several banks and number of depositors, no doubt, are societies, institutions, trusts, etc The commissioners point out the interesting fact that the deposits have increased $2, 317 1000 in counties that have large manufactories and decreased $450 000 in mainly agricultural counties. It is not necessary, however, to argue from this that manufacturing pays and farming doesn't. It means what we have often pointed out, that Connecticut farming thrives in the neighborhood of manufactur- ing centers and that therefore it is the duty of the State in it's legislation, far as it may, to prevent the concentration of popula- tion at few competing points
 The depositors increased 3,S52 during the year, and only S21 were depositors whose ac- counts exceed $2, GOO each. But the fact stands out that the S21 depositors represent $1 ,423, 231 of the entire increase of deposits, leaving something like S443, ,000 to be repre- scented by 3,031 depositors
 Turning from 1885 to 1875 it is of interest to notice the state of things then com pared with the present. There were at that time eighty-six banks, two more than now. The following table will show some of the most su ygestivs changes:

PISTOL SHOTS FIRED Tho Assault Upon Jeweler Dunne bl an Unknown AssaiIant Near Con
 

As Jeweler Dunne, who resides at "A Asy- lum street, was walking homeward at about half-past ten o'clock Monday night, he was assaulted by young man and knocked down. First reports of the affair in circula- ton indicated that MT. Dunne was severely injured MT. Dunne was about town as usual yesterday attending to his usual avo- cation MT. Dunne says: sI was proceeding homeward and when near the corner of Con gress avenue and Asylum street I saw a young man of more than the ordinary size leaning against the fence. I started to take a short cut across the lots when I became aware that someone was crossing the lots too, and close behind me. Suddenly I re- ceived stinging blow on the head which felled me. did not lose consciousness and saw that my assailant was about to kick me and rested on one hand, while with the other reached for pistol in the hip pocket My assailant, seeing the move, cut and ran I fired three shots after him into the air for the purpose of bringing him to and securing him for the lookup, and to discover who my assailant was, but in this I was disappointed. Failing to overhaul him I went home. frequently carry watches or jewelry in my pockets, but this time I had none with me. I doubt if the assault was for the purpose of robbery, but of course it may have been for that. Shortly after firing the shots met MT. and Mrs. Buckley of Asylum street. to whom gave my name and related what had happened. I was surprised to read in an afternoon paper what would lead per- sons to suppose that I had been badly hurt and was missing. I think the man who struck me was the one I had seen lounging against the fence"

THE LAWTON MURDER CASE. Another Link In The Chain of Evi
 hence Apafmat Resae.

WAREHAM, Mass, Dec. 29.-A witness came forward today in the Richard D. Law ton murder case with story which seems to complete the chain of evidence which has been slowly forging around Samuel Besse, who is under arrest for the crime. The wit ness is D. Warren Westgate, trapper of South Wareham, who is also neighbor and companion of Besse. He states that on Tuesday while attending his traps near Blackamoor pond he heard shotgun report quickly followed by groans, "Oh, Oh, Oh, dear. In another instant another shot rang out and gruff voice said "Whoa! whoa" He started toward the spot. In few moments he met Besse coming toward him, but no team was in sight. He noticed that some thing had been dragged across the path. He asked Besse what was the matter and he answered: My hound wouldn't follow a hare and I shot him and he's over there in the bushes" pointing in the direction of the furrow made by the object that had been dragged away. Fearing trouble Wsstgate turned away home. He gave his reason for not coming forward before, that he stands in great fear of Besse, but that the weight on his mind was more thau he could bear and now he makes clean breast of it. This con fession of Westgate is corrobofated by num- Der of prominent citizens of Wareham to- night as having been made and sworn to by Westgate to-day.
