A STALLION WHIPS A GRIZZLY.
Powerful Brutes in a Unique Battle
 in the Western Wilds.

in the Western Wflds.
 From the Denver Republican
 The wild horses were evidently coming my way. This gathering of phantom steeds gradually became more distinct as they came near me, and now were perhaps two hundred yards from me and near the canon. Nearest of all to the edge of the ravine was a mare with a young colt play ing about her, the two being somewhat separated from the other horses. As I was turning to go to my horse a move ment in the ifeless, log-like mass lying over the break of the bank arrested my attention. Still flat on the ground, it was working over the brink upon the upland like thick-bodied snake.
 Suddenly it arose, expanding as it did so into huge form, misshapen and terri ble, of grizzly bear, and with rush of astonishing rapidity, darted straight to the colt, which it reached before the little creature had even time to turn, and struck it down with blow of it's paw. The pool 1 mother in terror dashed away a few steps then turned and reared as if to attack the slayer of her offspring. Instantly the bear made for her with savage roar that caused her to wheel to run, but before she could move 8 step he was upon hel launches, tearing at her with his claws and teeth in the endeavor to drag hel down. Borne almost to the ground, she with mad plunge freed herself from hel enemy, and with torn and bleeding haunch l es galloped in wild terror among her com rades, which, neighing loudly, were draw ing away and together in alarm.
 The bear turned back toward the colt which did not move after it was first struck down, and, growing as he stood over it, began to tear it. The band oi horses ran but short distance, then gath cred in knot and, with the colts in the midst of the gathering, stood with theil heads facing inward and their heels form ing 8 circle of defence.
 A magnificent stallion, dark bay, with white star in his forehead, gallant-step ping animal, wonderfully alert and free O gait, with 8 powerful neck proudly curved and great sweep of mane and tail dashed about them like one in comman,

The Wreck of the Carrick.

An interesting discovery has just been made at the old Cinque Port of Sand wich. The river Stour has lately entered an old channel near its confluence with Pegwell bay, aud has laid bare wreck which has propably occupied that position for several centuries. The vessel is one of foreign build, and the wood is in fair state of preservation, having been embed bed in the sand. Attempts have been made from time to time to cut down the wreck, but the hull is, ss yet, pretty near. ly intact. It is believed that the remains are those of the papal vessel Caryke or Carrick, which sank at this spot in the reign of Henry VIII.

WILL NOT AUDIT,
Bills Of the Worlds Fair Com.
mission Must Wait.

Captain Thomas II. Thompson, Secretary
of the California State Worlds Fair Com
missioners, has returned from Sacramento,
where he had gone to present the demand OF
the commission for S225 to Controller
Colgan, with request that the latter official
should draw his warrant for the amount.
Mr.. Colgan wrote to Captain Thompson,
stating that he had grave doubts regarding
the constitutiouality of the legislative APP
preparation, and that he considered it safer
and wiser to submit the matter to the Su-
preme Court before drawing his warrant
for any portion OF the appropriation.
The Controller thus dlsregards the opin-
ion of the AttorneY-General who upholds
the COustituti0naiity of the act and pursues
the advice of his private counsel, Attorneys
Davis of Oakland and Barham of Santa
Rosa. The earliest date by which the mat
ter can be brought before the Supreme
Court is August 18th. so that the commission
will be hampered in their work during the
three weeks which must elApse before a
writ of mandate can be obtained.

associations of Santa Clara and San Mateo

ance Of embership certificates as a means

TRYING TO " FIX" IT.
Mrs. Emma Bryant Makins
Trouble for Herself.

There is proba bility of charge of at
tempted bribery being recorded against Mrs.
Emma Bryant. who was arrested Wednes-
day night for keeping Minnie Norton, aged
16 years, in house of bad repute. 1t seems
that after securing her release on bail she
started out to - fix" the case.
First she visited the father OF the girl, G.
Ii. Norton, who keeps a carpenter-shop on
California street, and asked him to swear
that his daughter was Is years nf age. The
father objected, and Mrs. Bryant turned her
attention to the glrl's brother. He also in
dignantly refused to commit perjury.
Young Mort n reported the affair to Officer
Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, aud the chances are
that charge OF subornatOn of perjury will
soon be preferred against Mrs BRYANT
Minnie ran away from her home TO live
with Mrs. Bryant because her stepmother
tried to keep her from staying out late at
night and away from bad company.

TACT THE THING.

to Borrow Money.

He Wanted Employment and Was Told
to Borrow Money.
Tact is one of the first qualifications of q
business man, and the following little Incl
dent in the history of one of the most sue
cessful merchants shows development OF
this trait early in his business career.
Coming TO New York from the country,
without friends and with very little money,
he found his way to lower Wall street,
and walking into the store of w. & Co.,
passed back into the counting-room and
waited Dodestly and patiently till he should
divert the attention of Mr.. W, who was at
the moment busily engaged with some
friend. At last the frank open face of the
boy attracted his notice, and he addressed
! him with:
What can do for YOU, sonny?"
II want place, sir"
well, what can you do?"
The boy auwered eagerly:
Most anything, Sir"
Mr. W., parity for joke and partly to
lid himself OF the almost too confident boy,
said;
"Ah. ali! Well just get out and borrow me
a couple of thousand dollars
The lad placed his hat on his head, walked
out of the store, then passed slowly down
Front street till he came TO another large
store in the same line of business rs our
friends of the past, Messrs. S. S. ana c.
LHeH Win UOlu out honest look he walked
up to the head of the house and said:
mr.. w. of W. 81 Co. sent me- down to
borrow $1,000"
He did, my son? How is business up at
your place."
The boy having seen the appearance of
large shipments, answered quickly:
Very good, slrr'
Two thousand dollars, did you say?
VIII that be enOugh?"
Well, $1,000 is all he told me, but if you
have plenty think he would like it if you
sent him $1,000"
Just give this boy a check for $4,000 for
W. u Co" remarked Mr.. s. to his cashier.
The boy took the check and with it re-
turned to Mr.. W.. walking back into the
office with an air of successful pride and
said
Here it is, SIR
MIR. W.. taking one look at the check and
then at the boy, said:
