ance in office. Henry Sherburne.
Clapp Spooner and Henry c. Taft
owned the stock OF the New York and
Boston Dispatch Express Company
and the Kingsley Express Company.
This stock was sold to the Adams Ex-
press Company through the agency OF
Mr.. Hoey and Mr.. Spooner for $780,
600.
Suspicion was aroused by q suit
which was begun last April by Mr..
Sherburne against Messrs. Spooner,
Taft and Hoey to recover sS7, 500.
Mr.. Sherburne claimed that Hoey was
to receive one-fourth the amount for
making the deal. Mr.. Sanford, one
OF the managers OF the Adams Ex-
press Company, investigated the mat
ter. He claims that the property
which was purchased for $500, 900 was
worth less than 100000. The pur-
chase was made against the advice of
the managers, and Mr.. Hoey admitted
in court that his share of the profits
amounted to $4,000.
President Hoey had been with the
company for forty years, and for
three years had been its President.
Vice President Spooner had also been
with the company for many years. He
Is millionaire and lives in Bridge
port, Conn.
Mr.. Sanford, the new president, is a
millionaire residing in Bridgeport,
Conn. He is sixty, and has been con-
nected with the company for thirty
five years. He was several years the
general superintendent until that
office was abolished few years ago.
Since that time he has been one of its
managers.
Frederick Loveioy, the Vice. Presi-
dent and General Manager, is nearly
fifty years old, and he too, has made
fortune out Of the Adams Express
Company. He entered its service in
his youth, and rose to be Assistant
Superintendent. Later he was put
in charge Of the Pennsylvania divi-
sion. He is New Yorker, living with
his wife at the Gilsey House. He is
director in the Subway Company and
has a steam yacht, the Neaira.

of the State, except as to catching game
fish thereon, such as bass, salmon, etc,
consequently we have no authority to
make such arrests Cdtduissd Item.

Saved by q Straight steer

One Of the quaintest and most thrilling es-
capes from grizzly was made by Jack Beam

three other cowboys he was out on the range
rounding up some cattle when from some un-
known cause they became frightened and
dashed away In a perfect panic In vain the
cowboys tried to check and turn the cattle
In their mad career. For miles they tore along
until they reached the brink of a precipce.
from which they dropped, killing scores and
hundreds This checked the stampede and the
cowboys began gathering up the herd
While thus engaged Jack became separated
from his companions. A bunch OF cattle
wandered into deep ravne, and, finding that
they refused to move at the sound of his voice,
Jack left bis bronco and rushed at the cattle,
whip in hand
Just as he had got them started he heard O
fierce growl and, on looking back. saw a huge
grizzly emerge from the bushes and start
toward him. He was well aware Of the terrible
nature OF the animal, and, as the bear was fast
closfng the distance between them, he fed as
fast as his legs could carry him.
Presently he reached small knoll and lust
below was o steer, leisurely grazing. In an in
slant Jack loaped down on the steers back and
IN another instant the animal made a mad
dash down the ravine TO get rid Of the unwel

the herd, but the grizzly was completely dis
tanced. When Jack was found he was bruised
and insensible, but soon recovered, and the
