BEAR AND BLACKMAN.
A Desperate Fight to "a Finish Between
Bruin and Negro.

An ex-Texas ranger. now in Cheyenne
contributes this narrative to the literature
of the day.
1--WE had chased one of the most ia
NOUS and troublesome bandits for week. -
just because he and his gang of despera-
does reached the Rio Grande In safety a
few hours ahead of US we were sent in dis
grace to stupid little village quite out of
the world. In a week we had exhausted
every imaginable amusement recourse and
were slowleY perishing of ennui. The
town butcher, and austere pioneer who was
somewhat more genial than he looked,
owned an immence and very aggressive
bear, brought In by maraudlng Apachies.
4 Dig, brutal negroe was the bully of the
place. He was powerful and pugnacious
aud had the community terrorized Some
of our fellows conceived the brilliant idea
of pitting the bear and the negro for a
finish fight. The butcher was consulted
and at once shut off his pet s rations. We
were assured that the darby would come
to the scratch. A regular amphitheater
was built for the event and tremendous
crowd was In attendance when the bear

into the pit and told to fight for his life.
It was terrific battle. The bear was
hungry and mad and rushed at the other
animal at once. Mr.. Coon made a desper-
ate fight, showing gallant courage, Won
derful strength, great agility and shrewd
generaIship. He waded in like an Irish
man at Denny brook. He kicked and
butted and struck and even bit his antag
onist, fighting off the bear repeatedly.
Finally the bear, which had become weary
of the darkys brogans, by careful maneu-
vering managed to close in. They clinch-
ed and it was all day with the biped.
After giving him a good hug the bear
threw the darky from him. The latter
landed squarely on his back. He moaned
and his eyes rolled. The bear accepted
this as challenge to further combat. He
gave the PROSTATE fighter terrible swipe
along the ribs, quoting him. Then he
placed paw ON the darky's brest and
smiled as he gazed into his face and said

FACTS RETOLD.
A Witness Who Was to Turn States Evil
dence Was Murdered.

ueHce w DIS MuFueTeu.
WASHINGTON, May 21-The sub-com-
mittee of the house con. mittee on cleo
tions, investigating the Clayton-Breckin-
ridge election case, was called together
this morning to take the testimony of a
young man named Taylor, of the Indian
territory. Upon invitation of Oliver Ben
tley and Walter Wells, the witness,
with about a dozen other young men,
started about dark for Plummerville. 1t
was their intention to stop any row the
negroes might raise. They got within
quarter of mile of the polling place
where the main body rested while Wood,
Bentley and Wells rode into town to ex-
anime the situation 1t was found that
all was quiet and the party turned back
to to MorrilIton. The witness said that
Bentley and Wells had the ballot box III
their possession. They carried the box
into Wells store and then the wit
ness asked them if they were going to
burn it, but they did not answer Jim Earl
told the witness that George Bentley was
going to turn states evidence. He was
killed within two weeks. He had just
lett the witness and gone up the street
with Oliver Bentley to examine new
hammerless pistol. After examining it,
George turned his back when he was shot
through the back by Oliver Bentley. 1t was
an accident.
The witness was confident that Walter
Wells and Oliver Bentley stole the ballot
box. Witness was arrested once for steal
ing a 800 gold piece that he knew moth
ing about, and for intimidating the
election of the supervisor at Pine
Fluff. but he had not been at Pine
Bluff on election day. The witnes
said he left Arkansas and went to Oregon
to cut loose from Wells and Bentley. 1t
had got so that whatever they said he had
to do, and he wanted to get into new
country where he would not have to
steal ballot boxes He would re-
turn to Morrillton were Shelby not
the sheriff. The latter might put up
job on him or kill him. Adjourned until
Friday, when ex-Atty. Gen. Garland for
Mr.. Breckenridge, will present evidence

POPULATION OF AN GENT ROME
Four Million People Thought to Be a Small
Estimate.

Four Million People Thought to Be a Small
Estimate.
After carefully examining all the data
| we have, all the sentiments and various
ancient writers who allude to It, and all
the facts which seem to bear on the question,
| am convinced, says writer in Black
wood s Magazine, that in estimating the
nun Der at 100000 | am rather under
stating than overstating it. 1t is much
more probable that it was larger than that
it was smaller. De Quincy also estimates
the inhabitants of Rome at 100000.
will only cite one fact, and then leave the
question. The Circus Maximus was con-
structed to hold 100000, or, according to
Victor, at later period probably, 1856 900
spectators.
Taking the smaller number, then, it
would be one in sixteen Of all the inhabit-
ants if there were ,00O,0 900. But as one-half
the population was composed of slaves,
who must be struck out of the spectators,
when the circus was built there would be
accommodation then for one in eight of
total population, excluding slaves. Re
ducing again the number one-half by strik-
ing out the woman there would be room
for one In four.
Again striking out the young children,
and the old men, and the sick and impot-
ent, you would have accommodation for
nearly the whole population. Is it posi-
BILE to believe that the Romans constructed
circus to hold the entire population of
Rome capable of going to it? for such must
have been the case were there only 4,OOO,-
600 inhabitants. But suppose there were
only 1,O00,0 900 inhabitants, it is plain from
the mere figures thai it would never have
been possible to half fill the circus.
