John Glasscock and Mont Shaw, tried to
run the soldiers out of town, brandish-
ing clubs and pistols. The soldiers
never paid any attention to them until
one of the soldiers, named CorporaI
Brink, was shot in the neck by Glass
cock while passing from Crabs saloon
to camp. This fired the soldiers blood
to fover heat. They rushed out of the
saloon and nineteen of them opened fire,
emptying their six-shooters at the flee.

There were iifty-eight shots fired in the
space of one minute and half.
1t was thought that Glasscock had es-
capped unhurt TO the hills, hut In the

MRS. SUSAN u. MURLBUT.
A Most Remarkable Woman Passes
Away mt an Advanced Age.


Mrs. Susan Il. Hurlbut died yesterday
morning ut the residence Of Il. III. Mas on,
3l5 East Riveiside avenue, at the age OF
81 years and two days.
Mrs. Hurlbut was born In Albany, N.
", September IL, 1908, and her life has
been Il most remarkable one. At the
age "a years, having been married but q
short time, she and her husband started
for the, West, journeying by canal, and
thence OH the Ohio river as far as New
Albany, and going overland the rest of
the way in wagon through Indiana und
Illinois to Quincy. where they made
their home. She was the grandmother
of Mrs. Mason, and in the fall of 1885 she
accompanied MIR. Mason and his wife to
this city, and about year later made
the trip to Illinois and back alone, which
was quite remarkable for one of her age.
Since her residence here, Mrs. Hurlbut
has enjoyed excellent health, and was
remarkably well preserved, and woman
OF wonderful vitality, and 1t was not un-
I'll after the fire that she experienced any
illness, but that event seemed to have
been too severe shock for her to bear,
and OH last Wednesday,, which happened
to be her birthday, she was stricken with
paralysis, from the effects OF which she
could not rally.
Il. X. Hurlbut of Quincy, ILL.,, one of
her SONS, was notified OF her illess in
time to arrive here just before she passed
to the silent shores beyond
During her whole life she has been q
most charitable lady, and has devoted
much of her time caring for the needy.
The rcmsins were cmbalmed by
Bicksler e Webster, and will be taken
by her son to his home at Quincy, for
intcrment, for which point he left on the
early train this morning.

FROM THE CAPITAL.
Fears That tho Republican Nominee

Is. Is.Ineligibie-Othcr Notes.

OLYMPIA, w. r., Sept. l3.--It Is
thought bv many here that Bryan, the
republican nominee for superintendent
of schools, is Ineligible. Section OF
the school law OF lsS5 and 1885 provides
that no person shall be eligible to the
office of superintendent OF public III
struction unless such person shall be
holder of first radc territorial certiil-
cate or territorial diploma, which, it is
said, Mr.. Bryan does not possess. As
no law can he passed previous to Octo-
bcr which would rectify this matter,
it would seem advisable for the central
committee to make another nomination
for that important office, otherwise a
contest will inevitably rise in case Of
MIR. Bryan's election.

citizens oI Olympia tomorrow evening,

A THRILLING BEAR STORY.
An Idaho Man Has Life and Death
Encounter with Boar.

Big Gus Wolf well knownin the Wood
River and SALMON River countries, is
around Clayton with his head and face
covered with bandages and pIasters.
The cause OF this, says the Idaho States
man, Is q terrible contest which he had
with very large brown bear week ago.
IL appears he was up In the knickkin-
nick creek about seven ihiles, after deer.
He had shot deer, when on looking
around he saw bear following him. He
took shot at the bear. when bruin
rushed down hill upon him. Gus shot
five times at the bear without stopping
his progress, After he had discharged
into close combat with him, he used
his gun as q club until IL was
knocked from him. Before this
hand to hand combat began the bear had
his left shoulder broken by one of tho
shots, part of which had passed through
his lungs. This left the bear only one
paw to fight with, but that was enough
Tor him TO tear away the flesh from the
check OF MIR. Wolf, even to letting all tho
flesh of his lower jaw hang down over
ms throat to his breasC. Gus in desorib-
ing the tight tells of how he first tried TO
run away nom the bear after the animal
was SO wounded as to have but three
legs, He describes how the bear caught
his right hand in its jaw, holding 1t till
Su9 PouSou tue bcui III INC eye WLtH MS
left foretinger, making the brute let 40,
and then how the bear grasped his left
wrist. Gus finally reached out with his
right hand and got rock with which
hc beat bruin over the head and then
thoy rolled down hill together, the bear
falling into the creek. Gus managed 10
get loose and ran, as he says like hell"
Gus soon reached camp, and his asso-
ciates at once went for surgeon, who
sewed up his face, making
eighteen stitches, and using lots of
plaster and bandage cotton. The next
day some men went out to the scene OF
the contest, and found the bear dead but
still warm, lying about forty yards from
contest as no did and nye, but lac Is fast
getting well and has been able to be UP
and around all the time. The bear
weighed about 400 pounds.

leased her hold upon him and ran,
shouting for help from the neigh boring
houses. Assistance arrived and they
succeeded in releasing him, when he
was taken To the home of his cousin,

assistance was sent for and Mr.. Holman

Protesting Against Inv asIon.



The Spokane REVIEW, while conceding
the propriety of laws prohibiting the eni-
ployment of nonresident detectives for
the protection of private property and
business, thinks that it is not necessary
that it should be prohibited by the con-
stitution. The state, 1t says, "still has
the power to enact statutory laws appli.
democrats alike believe in states rights
to that extent 1t is safe to conclude
therefore, that the necessary laws will
be enacted in due course of time" There
was very earnest discussion of this
question in the last session of the Min
nesota Legislature, but the bill to pro-
hibit the operation of the so-called Pink
erton guards in that state, though favor
ably reported by the Judiciary commit
tee, failed to pass. Both parties in this
territory have protested against such an
invasion of the state authorities.

Room for the Queen.
tFrom the New York sun, !


Among the letters received at the
mayors office yesterday was one from
Susan b. Anthony, vice president at
large of the National Woman Suffrage
Association. of the United States, of
which Elizabeth Cady Stanton is presi-
dent She writes:
To His Honor Mayor Grant and the
Committee for the Columbus Celebration
of 1892; On behalf of the women of this
new world, allow me to ask you to set
apart one of the permanent buildings of
the exposition to the women. While
the men of our country shall rear tenn
Piles in honor of Columbus, it will surely
be more fitting for the women to cele-
brate the virtues of Queen Isabella. The
building should be named the Isabella
Temple, and In it should be shown the
work of woman as helpmeet worthy of
man.
But the first requisite is your recogni.
ton of this proposal for one of the per-
manent buildings TO be appropriated to
the women of tile country Tor them to
make it do the best possible service in
honor of Isabella of Spain and of the
women of the world. 80 -
Hoping that you will see the fitness of
my request, am, very respectfully,

Destructive forest fires continue to de-
vastate Boise county, says the Idaho
Statesman. The telephone OIL Sunday
brought the intelligence that extensive
fires were raging In the neighborhood of
Centerville, and also on the old Loon
creek trail, between Banner and the
Sheep mountain country. 1t was feared
during the forenoon OF Sunday that a
saw mill and a quartz mill, as well as
some other buildings exposed, would be
burned. Five wagons were accordingly
loaded with men ut Idaho Oity and sent
in the direction of Centerville to fight
the fires. The process known as "back
firing" was rcsorted to- which resulted
In saving the threatened build
ings. In the neighborhood Of
Pioncerville, large fires were also
threatening the destruction of ex tensivc
and costly trestlework, the property of
Hon. Ben Wilson of Pioneer. Mr. Will
soil promptly put u large force Of men
at the work of staying the flames and ut
last accounts had succeeded In preventing
serious damage. From Long Valley, the
startling news comes that the upper end
of the valley is being burned, and that
the fierce heat that has been prevailing
among and around The Payette lakes
has at last dried up ull the water of the

had just been fed and one of the iron
bars of the cage was left open. AS soon
as Slade entered the barn the gorilla
forced his way through the opening and
sprung upon the man, forcing him down,
and punished him frightfully. His
difficulty drove the animal in his Gage.
Slade had his whislSers all pulled out,
one eye gouged out and his nose badly
torn. The animal will be sent to De-
