The Victory of the Boys Arrested for Ring
ing Church Bell on the Fourth.
On Friday night next the patriotic people of
Huntington Centre, Conn, will appropriately
celebrate the victory of Olin P. Shelton and
William Bidwell, who were arrested at the in
stance Of the sexton and wardens Of St. Paul.
Episcopal Church for ringing the church bell
on the morning of July 4. So great
a pressure was brought to bear upon
the compliments by personal friends and the
threats Of boycott sent by the young women of
the church, the village barber and the owner
of the village hall, that the suits were aban-
doned and the complainants paid the costs.
The people had raised a purse Of $500 to de-
fend shelton and Bidwell and this money with
more since raised will be spent in celebrating.
There will be speeches by Speaker Paige of
the Connecticut house of Representatives, the
Hon. W. H. Williams, the boys lawyer, and
other distinguished citizens. The Ansonia
brass band has been engaged, display Of fire.
works will be made and a supper will be fur
nished to everybody who comes. 1t has be-
come the only topic Of conversation for miles
around. Three letters have been received from
lawyers one from Baltimore and one from
Oakland, Cal. offering financial and legal aid
if the suits ever came to trial. The people of
this patriotic town will let the eagle scream a.
it never screamed before in this state.

The Fate Of q Bear That Rifled Mr.. Cox's
Maple Sirup Pail


]. Jay Cox moved last week from the Welsh
settlement to the other side of the Lehigh river,
in Monroe county. Pa, says Scranton special
While going down the Slocum road with a
wagon load of odds and ends the horses took
fright and ran away.
Among the articles that had been dumped
out was a covered wooden pail full of maple
syrup. 1t had rolled out OF sight down the
steep hill below the road and while hunting
for it Mr.. Cox ran across a fax hatchel which
had lodged in bush. With the hatchel in his
hand Mr.. Cox continued to search for the
pail. He found it near the brook, and he also
found bear nosing in the strip up to his
eyes.
Mr.. Cox yelled at the BEAR and the bold fell
low looked up at him. licked his chops, gave a
little snort and poked his snout into the pail
again. The bears bOldness made Mr.. Cox
angry. He yelled once more, but the bear paid
no attention to him, and SO Mr.. Cox gave him
kick In the ribs. The kick seemed to hurt
the bear, for he grunted and dashed into the
bushes. Mr.. Cox chased him and he circled
around and ran back to the pail.
In his ea2erness to get some more OF the
strip the bear jammed his nose SO far in that
his face was completely besmeared with it. Mr..
Cox concluded not to kick the bear again. He
waited till the bear raised his head to breathe
and then he sprang at him and began to strike
him in the face and eyes with the sharp points
of the hatchel. At the first blow the bear threw
his head to one side and flung the strip pail
into the creek. Then he started up the brook
with roar, and Mr.. Cox chung to his hair with
his left hand and continued to belabor him
over the eyes with the hatchel as he lunged
forward. He kept this up until he had blinded
the bear 80 badly that he was unable to find
his way to the swamp, and leaving him wan
dering about and groaning Mr.. Cox drove
down to Moons place, got rifle and went
back and shot the bear.

A GIRL OF 1e A HORSE THIEF. a.
Tho Astonishing solution of . Mystery In
Missouri.

Missouri
An Agency, No., dispatch says: The farmers
Of this and adjoining counties have been
greatly troubled by horse thieves for the past
six months. The horses we're stolen and run
out OF the country and no sign of them or any
suspicious characters would be seen in the
country. The mystery has been solved by the
arrest Of a sixteen-year-old girl who has been
working on the farm of Geo. Brundige, near
the northern county line, and who has been
looked upon as a most exemplary young lady
She WAS a church member and taught a class
In the Sunday school, and was quite favorite
among the young men of the vicinity. The
thefts became 30 frequent that the Anti
horse-thief Society determined TO make q
systematic effort to catch the thief They
Established a system of patrols on all the roads
Leading out OF the county, and it was through
this system that the girl was caught as she
went along the highway with a stolen horse.
She was dressed in boys clothing, and when
stopped said that she worked for Samuel Will
son and was on her way to town for q doctor
Samuel Wilson was one of the patrol which
stopped her, and she was placed under arrest
and taken to the nearest house, which was that
of Mr.. Brundige.
When the girl was brought there she was
recognized by Mrs. Rrundige who told the
men that they had her servant. The girl then
broke down and cried and said that she was
the thief, but no amount of coaxing or threats
could induce her to tell who her accomplices
were or where she was to meet them
The girl came to tho Brundige farm over a
year ago, and said she was from Kansas She
said her parents were dead. When caught she
carried her dress in a bundle. She was evil
IDENTIFY going to meet some one who would take
the horse out of the country, as she was on the
road leading to the state line.
The ti-horse-thief Association is now in a
quandary about the girl, for they do not like to
send her to the penitentiary, where she will
undoubtedly go if she is brought to trial, and
they do not see how they can let her go without
compromising felony.
