Milwaukee brewers have adopted a
plan for sending their beer from the
brewerie5 to the bottling works through
pipe lines. This suggests a possibility for
the future. Pipes may be laid from the
breweries to the houses of consumers.
Then all man would need to do would
be to turn on his faucet whenever ne
wanted drink, and have his beer fresh
and cool. This may sound visionary,
but is undoubtedly as practicable as sup
plying gas and water and oil by pipes to
consumers

more a matter of regret than surprise.
\ condition of serious unrest has been
known to exist there for some time
owing to the arbitrary methods and acts
of some of those who have been in high

upon its new career as such to national

The Leaeenworth Times denounces
Rev. \. B. Campbell as a designing dem
agogue, as one who has been a leader
and a tool in the hands of those who
have been prohibitiouists for revenue
only. The Times should be more explicit
and name some of these prohibitionists
who are such for the revenue they get
out of it. From the most extreme, and
leading prohibition organ of the state,
this is a serious charge. Because in the
past the resubmission papers have charged
that there was too much office. too much
bigotry and too much hypocrisy, mixed
up in the leadership of prohibition, they
have been denounced as free whisky or
gansa and as totally unfit 10 represent

LAND MORTGAGE LAWS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Any law which permits the taking of
several dollars worth of property to pay
one dollars debt and that without Il
remedy, only legalizes robbery, and the
robbery is none the less worthy of con-
domination because legalized by statutory
enactments. No one should be elected
to the next legislature who does not ap-
preciate this fact, and who will not labor
to remeny this evil. c. ;. N.

Last Wednesday was the fifth ami
versary of the death of General u. S.
Grant, the nations hero. Still New York
neglects her duty and disresards her
promise. No monument to his memory
has been erected where he sleeps to
dream of warfare no more. 1t is burn
ing shame and disgrace to the nation
that this should be 50. Many persons
now insist that congress should appropri-
ate money for a memorial and remove
his body to the National Cemetery, at
Arlington, where it should have been
taken in the first place. By fair prom
ises of great things New York secured
this honor, only to wantonly betray the
peoples confidence. The greatest soldier
of the new world belongs to the country
he defended so well. and the nation
should lose no more time in beStowing
upon him the honor that his memory
merits.

culties of getting into and out of the
gorge. A man could not pack a hide
out of the canyon if he should kill
bear. Some grizzlies can be found in the
Coast Range in Santa Barbara and Ven
tura Counties, but they are not so plentl-
full there as they were few years ago.
When the stockmen first took up land IN
the valley of the Lockwood and around
old Fort TIE. on the bears were numerous
enough to cause serious losses among
their herds, and could be seen almost
every evening coming down from the
mountains to the open valley land.
jeff Howard, cattle man who lived
in valley back of the Topa-topa range
in Ventura, was frequently annoyed by
the marauding bears from the sespe.
One night notorious old cattle thief OF
a grizzly called at Howard's ranch to
get some beef, and climbed into the cor
raj near the house. The only beef in the
corral that night was on the bones of a
tough and ugly old bull, and as soon as
the bear dropped to the ground from the
fence he got into trouble. The bull was
spelling for fight, and he promptly
charged the bear, striking him amidships
and bowling him over in the mud before
he knew what was coming. Howard
was aroused by the disturbance and went
out to investigate. He saw two huge
hulks charging around in the corral,
banging up against the sides and max
ing the dirt fly in all directions, and he
heard the angry believing of the old bull
and the hoarse growls Of the bear. They
were having a joyous time all by them
selves, and Howard decided to let them

THE BULL BOUNCED THE BEAR.
fight it out in their own way without any
interference. Returning to the cabin ne
said to his son Jesse and an Indian who
worked for him:
"It's that cusscd old grizzly having a
racket with the bull, but I reckon the
bull is old enough to take care OF him
self. We'll bar the door and let 'em go
it."
So they barred the door and listened
to the sounds of the battle. 1t didn't
take the bear long to make up his mind
that he didn't want any beef for supper.
The bull was tough, anyway, and he
would rather get light lunch in the
cabin. There was a great scratching and
scrambling as the bear began climbing
out of the corral. Then there was a roar
and rush, heavy thud as the bull
struck the grizzly's rear elevation a growl
of pain and surprise and the fall of half q
ton of bear on the ground outside of the
corral.
..Thc old bull had spoiled his appe-
tite," chucklcd Howard. ale won't
come fooling around this ranch again.
I'll bet he's the sorcst grizzly that ever
wore hair"
The three men in the cabin were en-
ioying the triumph of the bull, when
"baugw came something against the
door of the cabin. 1t was the discom-
fitted but not discouraged bear breaking
into the cabin in search of provisions.
With two or three blows of his paw the
grizzly smashed hole in the door, but as
he pokcd his in9u;stive nose in be met
volley from two rifles and shotgun. He
was not badly hurt except in bis feelings,

when he fell, but he had vague con-
sciousness of being rolled over two or
three times, and felt the bears hot
breath upon his face before he lost his
senses entirely. The bear did him no
more injury, evidently supposing him to
be dead, and when Searles recovered
consciousness he MANAGED to crawl to his
horse, mount and ride to the Liebra
ranch. John Cuddy, who met him at
the ranch, told me that Searles was the
worst used up man he ever saw alive,
and didn't look as though he would live
two hours, but Searles was tough and the
doctor managed to save him.
All old Californians know Charles Nc
Herman, of Santa Clara County, famil-
iarly called Mountain Charlie, who is now
a well-to-do lumber dealer. Twenty-Five
years ago Charlie tried to fight grizzly
with a knife in the Santa Cruz Mount
tains. Those were the days of muzzle-
leaders, and after firing his one shot into
the bear McKiernan had to drop his gun
and either climb tree or fight it out
with his big hunting knife. He took
chances with the knife. The grizzly
broke his shoulder and sent the knife
flying at the first onset, and being in his
death agony he did not stop at that, but
continued to tear and crush the PROSTATE
man. He mangled McKiernan's arm,
tore the flesh from his side and seizing
his head in his jaws, crushed the frontal
bone to splinters and tore out an eye.
When McKiernan was found the griz-
ely was lying dead by his side with a
bullet through his heart. McKiernan's
recovery from his terrible injuries is one
of the most remarkable surgical cases on
record and he bears ghastly marks OF the
encounter to this day.
During the last fifteen years but few
men have been killed by grizzlies in Cali
fornia, partly because the bears are not
easily found and partly because hunters
have learned better than to attack them
with inefficient weapons. In early days
a man was likely to meet a grizzly any
where in the mountains. but the railroads
and the increase of population have driven
the bears back from the foothills. fh
farmers have poisoned thousands, and
one must 60 to the widest parts of the
Sierra Nevada and the Southern Coast
Range to find them. 1t is believed that
Tuolumne Canyon shelters great many
grizzlies, but nobody thinks of going in
there to hunt them because of the diff

THAT TITLE BELONGS TO THE
GRIZZLY BEAR.
He Will Fight at a Moments No
tice and is a Terrible Antago-
mist Some Frishtful En-
counters in the Rockies.

In habits and disposition the grizzly is
totally unlike the black bear. The latter,
while omnivorous, is by preference a
vegetarian, but the grizzly scorns vege-
table diet when he can get meat The
black bear will run when attacked and is
dangerous only when brought to bay, but
the grizzly will fight at the drop of the
hat, and once aroused will fight until he
is dead without thought of retreat. In
intelligence, also, the grizzly is vastly
superior to all other bears.
With repeating rifle of heavy calibre,
one carrying the Government cartridge
with 500 grains of lead backed by seventy
grains of powder, steady nerved and
expert riAeman has even chances with a
full grown grizzly in fight on reasona-
bly, open ground. A man armed with a
single shot rife or the old forty-four
Winchester has an uphill fight on his
hands, and ought to pick out his tree be-
fore the battle begins. Neglect of this
precaution has cost many man his life,
Or, if fortunate enough to fall into the
clutches of an uncommonly considerate
bear, the use of limb or his good looks

which were panied By the inhospitable
habits of the Howard outfit and he went
away.
jeff and his son followed the bears
trail the next day and caught Up with
him in the bushy canyon. The bear was
about hundred yards above them on the
mountain side, and when they fired at
him he came down hill like an avalanche,
breaking through the manzanita aud
smashing down young trees like reeds.
His lowered head offered no fair mark,
and only a chance shot might have
stopped him, but the Howards did not
try any experiments of that kind. They
dropped their rifles and climbed tree.
The grizzy watched them for short
time, but soon gave it up as bad job,
and disappeared in the brush.
The Howards descended from the
tree, picked up their guns and decided to
have another shot at the bear, if they
could find him. They knew better than
to 90 into the brush after him, and for
some time they hunted cautiously about
the edges. The grizzly was in there, but,
as he was probably lying in wait for
them, they did not dare to investigate too
closely. Jeff went to the windward side
of the brush patch and set fire to it in
several places, and then rejoined Jesse, on
the leeward side, to watch for the reap
oearance of the bear. The wind was
blowing fresh up the canyon, and the fire
ran rapidly through the dry brush, max
ing a thick smoke and a great noise.
When the grizzly came out he came sud-
denly and from an unexpected quarter,
and the two hunters had just time
enough to break for tree again and
climb out of reach.
