General Crook and the Bear.

General Crook has of late years lost
his interest in deer-hun ting, says tho
Omaha Bee, but it is said of him that ho
will go thousand miles for the chance
Of shot at bear and when he goes
he generally gets the bear. Once,
several years ago, he was on bear-hunt
in tho Big Horn country with two or
three gentlemen. They had tracked
the bear into big tule or cat-tail
swamp, and had just entered in pursuit
when the tules Iarted and monstrous
bear appeared and charged for General
Crook, who was nearest to him. Ono
of the gentlemen, in describing the in
cident, said: "The animal was not
more than twenty-five feet from Crook,
who stood still without moving
muscle. The outline of his figure and
face stood against the background Of
the sky as clear as cameo. The bear
came rushing with jaws opened wide,
and in moment more would have
seized Crook. Just at the right instant
his rife was brought to his shoulder
like flash and bullet sped straight
into the bears mouth and went crash
ing through his head. The bear fell
forward dead, and Gen. Crook was spat-
tered with his blood. 1t was the most
signal instance of iron nerve in the time
of danger / ever saw" said the eye

Chinese secret Cham bers.

Work will be commenced in El Paso,
Texas, in short time on a Federal
building for postofiice and custom
house, for which an appropriation Of
$3.50 900 has been made by Congress.
The site selected for the building Is
near the centre of the city, on St Louis
and Oregon streets, and is still occu-
pied at present by an extensive old
adobe structure one story high, cover.
ing an entire block, into which are
crowded together several hundred
Chinese aud where all their peculiar In.
dustries are pursued.
There are plenty of laundries In this
rambling old building, number Of
groceries, joss houses, Chinese physi.
clans headquarters, while it was gen.
orally known that opium smoking and
fantan playing was being carried on at
a colossal rate, but the latter unlawful
pursuit could never be traced to the
building. The last few days orders
have been given by the former owners
of tho land that the building must be
vacated SO that the property could be
turned over to the United States. This
order has created the greatest conster-
nation among tho Chinese inhabitants,
and they are in as terrible an uproar as
beehive is when a foreign animal in
trudes into it.
The cause of this scare has just leaked
out. The whole of the region has been
undermined by secret tunnels and ex-
cavated rooms, in which not only opium
smoking and gambling has been carried
on, but other dark deeds perpetrated,
without the white population of tho
cities, and even tho owners of the real
estate, having suspicion of what was 60
ing on. 1t Is said that the Chinese
have been in the habit of keeping tho
bodies of those of their couatrymen who
died in these subterranean chambers,
and boiled the skeletons clean of flesh,
and then sending them carefully packed
in trunks to San Francisco, as occasion
offered, for transhipmcnt to China for
permanent burial.
When in few days from now the
buildings are torn down and the ground
excavated for the foundations of the
massive structure that is to stand there,
developments will be made that will as
tonish this community. Last year q

of the mass of gambling paraphernalis
were visible. The owner Of the lot from
whom the Chinese rented tho building
had not been aware Of the secret cham
