How he Ran Upa Tres After the Boss o II

g# 1t is very rare that a raccoon falls Al
victim to the hunter after cold weather
has set in, for tits a alternating animals,
and stows itself away on the approach
ofwinter. The average weight Of Al
coon is twenty pounds, and the hunter
who captures one in the height Of the
most favorable coon-feeding season
which weighs more is looked upon as
having accomplished a notable feat.
James Sandys, of Hunter 8 Range, dur
ing the fall killed thirty-nine coons,
and on Saturday surprised the COM
munity by fetching In the boss Of all
coons, a mammoth fellow that weighed
thirty five pounds, the .aigesttby eight
pounds ever. captured IN this vicinity.
Sandys hunts with an unusually active
and Intelligent dog. On Saturday ne
was out after pheasants, when this coon
sprang out Of a stone wall and gave the
dog as lively a chase, with the Their
mometer at zero, as any coon ever did
in September. After a rnnlof mile.
the coon ran up large tree, the trunk
of which leaned at an angle Of about
forty-five degrees WI hen Sandysreached
the spot he found that the dog had not
only freed the coon, but had also tieed
himself, for he had run up the leaning
trunk Of the tree and reached the very
top, where the coon had crept out on
the extremity of a branch beyond the
reach of the dog. Sandys brought the
coon to the ground with charge from
his gun, but had great difficulty in re-.
covering his dog. The animal couldn't
descend the tree trunk, and the hunter
had to shin up and bring him down.
The dog was sixty feet in the air, and
the lowest branch of the tree was TWEEN
ty feet from the ground. When Sandys
got to that branch, with the dogs neck
grasped in one hand, he found he
couldn't descend any further without
using both hands. But the dog settled
the matter by squirming loose and drop
ing to the ground on his feet. Phila-

Fewer inventions have confer

many there are at the present day

indifference aud found no worthy biog-
rapher to celebrate his ingenuity.
Unfortunately, however, his name is
matter of much uncertainty and. hence
a grateful posterity has been prevented

which it has so richly merited. But it
may be noted that popular opinion has
long ago pronounced in favor of Spina.

How Women Temper Justice.

4
It is a singular fact" said May or's
Clerk McClery, s'but nevertheless true,
that nine out of every ten women who
have their husbands arrested or make
information against them for cruelty
either Withdraw the the charge or pay
the fine. Only last week we had a case
of man who was habitually drunk and
known as wife beaten. The wife
brought suit and then wanted to with5
draw it, but was not allowed to do so,
as some of the neighbors told us that
1t would be a blessing il the man was
sent to the ork-honse. The man was
fined $40 and costs or thirty days.
NJ after that woman and a mum
Der of neighbors had testified to the
acts of cruelty. the dutiful wife paid
the fine. She had not cent in the
world, but said when she paid over the
money, that she had borrowed it from
fnlSitaeno Of her neighbors, in one case
getting ony twenty-five cents. There
were tears in 'nn eyes, BIT I don T, knew
what caused them They might have
been shed on account OF parting with
the money, and it might be. that she
was sorry her husband was going home
with her. There's no telling what a
woman will do.''
At the Central Station a few nights
ago a woman had her husband locked
up for beating her. She followed with
the officers, and when the iron doors
closed with bang she changed com
pletely and begged piteously that he be
allowed to go home with her. Her cries
were not needed. At the hearing the
next morning she was present, and the
payment Of a $40 fine for the man that
had struck her seemed to please her as
much as a new toy does a child. The
police officers are always careful about
;arresting man who is complained of
by his wife, for the woman will seldom
appear against him.
Never interfere with . family quar-
rel, said an old officer. The oaly
only time l was ever beaten was
through trying to save a woman from
being beaten by her husband. 1t was
on the South Side. I was passing along
the street and heard the shrieks of
woman. Iii the yard in the rear OF the
house was big Irishman beating his
wife. jumped over the fence and
dragged the man of and handled him
pretty roughly, as he fought me. As
soon as the woman realized that her
husband was in the clutches Of an of
ficer she came ut me, and between both
man and woman was badly beaten and
my uniform ruined. Never interfere
in faulty quarrel until 1t is reasonably
certain that one OF the parties is too far
gone to eight you"
Once in long while the usual order
Of things viii be changed, as it was on
The South Side on Monday. a woman
named Magee was arrested at the in
stance of her husband. who said she
was continually drunk, and that he
could do nothing with her. The man
begged Alderman Flach to give his
wife q long term, so she would get good
and sober. At the hearing the man
odd how his wife gotdrunk and abused |
him. So the Alderman gave her thirty
