Quite large number OF witnesses
were captured with the proprietresses
many of whom would not like to set
their names In print, as their families
were under the idea that they were al
lodge meetings. A number of them
planked down the hard cash as security
for their appearance when wanted. The
proprietresses, however, all came to the
conclusion to plead guilty TO tho charses
against them and consequently the wit
nesses were not needed.
At this mornings session OF the NUM-
cipal Court, Susan Rudolph, Berthi
Palmer, Sarah White, Clara Wilson ant
Anna Lewis, were each called in tn,
order named, each plead guilty and eacl
lned $50 and costs.

vamosed the rancho before tho officer
entered and escaped arrest. All tn
parties promptly planked down their IN,

fingers unlCosed their hold 80 that the bow
fell from them. Then with loud cry he
turned and fed behind me, leaving the lion
in my path: But while I stood waiting my
doom-for though I was sore afraid
I would not fly the lion crouched
himself, and,- turning not aside, with one
great bound swept over me, touching me
not. He Lit, and again he bounded full on
the boaster's back, striking him such blow
with his great paw that his head was
crushed as an egg thrown against a stone.
He fell down dead, and the lion stood and
roared over him. Then l was mad with
horror, and, scarce knowing what did,
grasped my spear, and with shout I
charged. AS charged the lion lifted him.
self up on his hinder legs to greet me, so
that his head stood up above me. He note
at me with his paw, but with all my strength
drove the broad spear into his throat, and.
shrinking from the agony of the steel, his
blow fell short and did no more than rip the
skin. Back he fell, the great spear far In
his throat. Then rising, he roared in pain
and leapt twice the height of a man straight
into the air, smitlng at the spear with his
fore paws. Twice he leaped thus, horrible
to see, and twice he fell upon his back.
Then. his strength spent itself with hisrush-
