Strange Varieties OF Crabs.

In Bermuda the soldier crab carries
heavy shells up the hills to puzzle

crab in the Cape Verde islands may ''be
seen running along like . piece Of paper

island there arc crabs which 'climb up
to the top Of Green mountain. and the
larger ones steal the young rabbits
from their holes and devour them. :"

all the people along Battle creek were
talking about just then. The head had
been cut from the skim, which reduced
its length by twaaQQct but as it was it
measured nearly We feet in length.
From tip to tip of the outstretched paws,
the width was fifteen feet Standing
erect on its hind feet the bear must have
been at least seventeen feet high, and
walking on all tours he was almost five
feet tall Such monster couldn't have
been a very pleasant object to.meet in
the woods, and, as the story goes out
along Battle creek, at least Ave men
had met that bear during its career in
the region, and never came back to tell
Of 1t.
THE bear had singular deformity
in q regular club foot, whether from
birth or caused by accident was not
known. and had been called for twenty
years Old Clubfoot' by the farmers of
Tehama County and other parts Of
Northern California, where he had for
all these years been terror to the peo-
pie, carrying of not only swine and
sheep, but full-grown cattle. One farmer
told me that this bear had caused
loss to the amount Of many thou
sands of dollars in that way in Tehama
County alone, to say nothing OF the
human lives he was alleged to have
taken. For ten years . price had been
on his head. five hundred dollars reward
being offered by the farmers to any one
who would run Old Clubfoot down and
kill him. 1t was in trying to earn this
reward that the five men were sup
posed to have sacrificed themselves at
different times to the grizzly terror, as
they had gone out with the intention Of
killing the bear, and never returned.
The grizzly had outwitted the smartest
Of tho old-time bear-killers Of that
country. and seemed to carry q charmed
life. He would be seen or heard of one
day at certain locality, and the next
day would put in an appearance at a
place fifty miles away. No traps nor
guns nor devices OF any kind seemed to
be equal to the cunning old cripple, and
he continued to scourge northern CAL
ifornia with immunity.
whether this great bear was re-
sponsible or not for the disappearance Of
the five men he was charged with hav-
ing killed, there was no doubt that he
did kill one of them, for he was seen to
do it by two witnesses, trustworthy men
still living on Battle creek. These
men are William Blackwell and John
Rice, stock farmers. The man they
saw Old Clubfoot kill was a noted bear
hunter named Hiram Hollywood The
bear had been prowling around the
Blackwell farm for several days, and

The Mansion House Site Sold for S3IC
Gallons of Whiskey.

The Mansion House Site Sold for $40
Gallons of Whiskey.
The above makes very strange IT,
tie for local item but il is strictly
true, as an examination of the town
records will prove. In the year 1911 /,
the land on which stands VIM. Bass
residence, once the old Mansion House
and the only hotel in West Randolph,
embracing several acres on both sides
of the river, was sold by Joseph Nor
ton, John Moulton and Phineas Moul-
ton, Jr., to Roswell Aiusworth for
$40 gals. of whiskey. There was a
mortgage on the property held by Gov.
Edgerton, which he quit-claimed for
5000 gals. of whiskey. In those days
whiskey seemed to be about the only
legal tender and man was rated by
the number of gals. of whiskey he
kept in his cellar. About this time
the property now owned by Mrs. A.
X. Mann and some adjoining was also
mortgaged to Roswell Ainsworth by
l.. Ainsworth and Luke Fits, includ-
ing carding mill and clover mill to
secure the payment of tour promissory
notes for-gals. of good first proof
whiskey. There is no record of this
mortgage ever having been discharged
so that some one is entitled to a very
considerable quantity of real old, rare
ripe ''good first proof whiskey"
enough to make the whole town glo-
riously drunk.
