RrECIAL TkLE9RAA TO THE DIbRAICHt
SCRANTON, October H-Last Monday
Hiram Cobb, of lCoolbsugh township, set
steel bear-trap in . thicket of scrub oaks
near Birch Run, three miles west Of Stauf-
ier's Mills. On Tuesday morning Gibson
Cobb, the trapper's 17-year-old son, told his
father he guessed he would take stroll over
to Birch Run and see whether bear got
caught in the trap during the night, and
Mr.. Cobb told Gibson that if he intended to
20 near the traphe had better take the rifle
along.
The lad said he did not like to lug gun
so far, and off he started without it. telling
his father that he would stop at Charley
Holmes on the way and borrow q gun.
Young Cobb changed his mind before he
had gone far, and instead of going past
Holmes place he took short cut up Nettle
Hill, and across the plateau to the spot
where the trap had been set.
HE DIscovERss THE BEAR.
There was no bear in the trap, and the
boy, after noticing that the beef head. with
which the trap had been baited. was just as
his father had placed it, started for home.
On the hillside overlooking Birch Run he
sat down on rock to rest and while he sat
there he saw bear waddle out Of the
bushes, only few yards from where the
trap was set. s-,s
The bear walked down to the brook and
took drink, and Young Cobb said he was
then sorry that he hadn't taken the rife
along for he might have shot the bear
easily enough, while be was slaking his
thirst. Then the bear turned about, sat
upon his haunehes for two or three minutes,
moved its head as 1t had got wind OF the
beef head and made forthe thicket where
the trap was concealed. The bears move
ments excited the boy, and according to his
own statement, he felt 50 sure that the bear
would get caught right away that he ran
down to the creek, hid behind log and lis
tened. -1s-
THE BEAR DISCOVERS HIM.
He had been there only q short time be-
fore he heard the bear believing and thrash
| ing in the scrub oaks, and this, he said, ex-
cited him so much more than the first sight
Of the bear that he forgot all about danger.
He hunted around for big stone to throw
at the bears head, but before he ran across
one that suited him the bear came flying out
Of the thicket with the trap fast to its left
| forefoot. sfg
Just then the drag in the trap caught in q
root and jerked the bear back, and the fear
less lad grabbed up Q round stone and hit
the bear on the head. This made the brute
| furious, and it made lunge for young
Cobb, tore its foot loose from the trap and
came within foot of striking him down.

From the Rapid City Journal of the
10th, we CLEAN that letter from Chan
cy l.. Wood at Sioux Falls, conveys the
Information that Pennington county
will possibly receive in the new appor-
tionment one senator and two repre-
sentatives. What the apportionment
will give Custer and Fall River coun-
ties the letter does not state. We sup
posed that Mr.. Wood represented this
district and not Pennington county
alone, but our supposition would seem
to be wrong. Fall River county should
at least have one representative. The
rapid increase Of population since last
fall election would justify more than
that but it will be hard to convince the
eastern members of our just rights.
The letter of Mr.. Woods also conveys
information that the prchibitionists in
the eastern part of the territory have
organized thoroughly, and that they
will make vigorous fight to carry
their point, and that the amendment to
the constitution, prohibiting the sale
aud manufacture If liquor will surely
carry. Eastern Dakota, Mr.. Wood
says, will certainly give large majori-
ty for the amendment.

Col. Woodford who has been work

some time in the Black Hills counties,
has made dates that will bring him to
Hot Springs on Monday the 29th of
July and Tuesday the 9th Of August.
These meetings will be held at the NJ.

Col. Woodford is referred to by the
press Of those cities where he has spo-
ken, as q forcible, logical, and enter
tanning speaker, and one that treats
this great question from the stand point
of a conservative, reasonable, man and
not as a fanatic. It is said that he has
done the cause Of temperance great
good during his work in this portion
Of the country. The STAR bespeaks for
the gentleman a full house and would
respectfully suggest that all temper
ance people and those interested in the
cause, and all others. do what they can
do to secure full house for the speak
er. The gentleman considers ques-
tion that is face to face with every vo-
ter of South Dakota. Aquestion that

fall. The sacred privilege Of voting,
the which is no more q privilege than
a duty. must be exercised in the settle.

sacred duty, will inform himself up
on all questions that he may act wisely

Jones kicks because he can't help it.
He is built that way. There is nothing
done right in this world except what
he does himself. This time it is the
county assessor. This last kick of
Jones is also another proof that the
statements of his paper are unreliable.
This last wall OF his is to the effect that
lands near Oelrichs are assessed higher
than near Hot Springs. The highest
assessment per acre at Oelrichs is So,
the highest at Hot Springs ISIS. The
assessors returns show this. Let us
take another view Of this matter. The
school districts Of Hot.Springs and Del.
richs are about the same size. Hot
Springs is assessed for $s5, ,494; Del.
richs at Ss7,9s6. Now Jones claim.

The county commissioners at their
last meeting did wise thing in con-
tracing for the purchase of two steel
cells for the reception of persons held
in custody. AS it is now, Fall River
county has no where to place for safe
keeping persons WHO are charged with
crime or for other reasons are not prop
er persons to be at large. The cost now
of keeping persons in custody is enor-
nous as they must be continually in
the care of the sheriff or some person
deputed to have tlle charge of them,
which means an enormous expense at
all times.
