IN A BEAR TRAP.
THE PERILOUS POSITION OF A
FRENCH SHEEP-HERDER.
Grizzly-His Leg Caught in the Steel
Jaws of a Powerful Spring Trap.

A man came in last night from the
mountains, in the vicinity of the middle
fork of Kings river, and reported that
heep-herder, who had been attending
the herds of Frenchman named Pierre
Luzier, had been caught in trap which
had been set for bear, says the Fresno
Expositor. According to the story, a
bear, large grizzly, very old and ven-
turesome. had been living on the
Frenchman's sheep for some time, and
could not be captured, and was too
sharp to get in range of the Winchester
rifles of the herders.
There was path leading down the
mountains, and the bear always came
down this path. 1t occurred to the
Frenchman that a steel trap set in this
path might take snap judgment on the
bear on his next visit.
Accordingly, when the Frenchman
came to the plains next time for load
OF supplies, he bought a stout steel
trap with strong jaws, and packed it on
the back of mule to the middle fork
region, which lies beyond Tihipiti, and
is about eighty miles distant from
Fresno, n.F.
The bear still continued his nightly
visits to the sheep camp, and the next
day Mr.. Luzier and the herders went up
on the mountain and set the trap in the
path, in readiness for the bear.
The old native of the forest came as
usual that night, but he had too much

THE shameful and insensate fight
made against Walter S. Maxwell for
chief of the horticultural bureau of the
worlds fair, has borne whole Pandora's
box OF evils. Had Mr.. Maxwell's nomi-
nation been confirmed, as it should have
been, it would have been of immense
benefit to this state and OF especial value
to Southern California. The ostensible
objection made to Mr.. Maxwell was that
he was not a practical horticulturist,
but the real objection which our local
haters and marplots had to him was
that he was not sound on the Republican
goose as they plucked him. Well Cali
fornia and our own locality have lost all
chance to fill the chiefship of this
bureau with one of their citizens; but
our people will not forget that this loss
has been caused by the slander and foul
detraction of jaundiced men in their
own midst.

THE situation in Chile has been made
quite interesting by the fine stroke Of
strategy accomplished by the Congress
sionalists in landing large army at
Quintero, thus cutting in between Bal
maceda's forces, which are in part
located at Coquimbo and at Santiago.
The army of the revolutionists is said to
be well armed and in good fighting con-
dition. All the reports from Balma-
ceda's army have been to the effect that
great discomfort and decentralization ex-
ist in its ranks. This is accounted for
from the forcible impressments that
have been made for it from amongst the
ignorant poems of the country. Balma-

A SINGULAR EPISODE.

The dispatch published yesterday,

as authority, announcing that James G.
Fair and others. holding large interests
in the Rolling Mills company had de-
termined to break the contract entered
into by the company to build the cleo
trio railroad in this city, reads as if we
were living in a country where each in
dividual was law unto himself. From
all we can learn, the contract was le-
gally drawn and signed by the proper
officers of the company. A large por-
tion of the work under that contract has
been done, and great deal of material
for the unfinished part of the road fur
nished. Now, what strikes US as Curl
ous is that Mr.. Fair can coolly declare
that the contract is at an end, and that

CHLORIDE OF GOLD AND DIPsoMANIA.

| 1t is now said that the treatment OF
dipsomania at the Kelley institute at
Dwight, Ill.,, is attended with loss OF
memory on the part of the patients.
But, as we understand it, this only lasts
! whilst the patient is under the influence
of the specifics used to destroy the appe-
tite for strong drink. The treatment
mainly consists of hypodermic injections
of preparation OF chloride Of gold, and
the temporary effect of that preparation
is to impair the memory OF the patients,
For instance, the Dwight postmaster
complains that his Office is greatly an
noyed by letters dropped in the boxes
without superscription, or with mere
name on the envelope, and the
address of the party written to left
blank. But we have yet to learn that
this objection to the Kelley treatment
extends beyond the time that the system
is under the active influence of the pre-
parations used. Patients that have been
discharged cured do not seem to have ex-
perienced any permanent change or
weakening of their power OF memory, or
at least if they have. the fact has never
reached the public. A great number Of
very bright intellects, who had
been cured of the crapulous habit
at Dwight, have given to the
public detailed accounts of their ex-
perience at the institute and the effect
hnp Of lto
charge, but none of them have COM
planned of loss Of memory or of deteriora-
ton in the normal strength of any of the
mental faculties as result of the Keeley
process of cure. We certainly should
have heard of it before this had the
treatment been followed by such effects.
That being the case, we are justified in
saying that the temporary arrangement
of memory during the time Of
treatment argues nothing against
the method pursued by DR..
Kelley. The success OF his method
is fully attested by the cure OF 95 per
cent of the patients who have submit
ted to his treatment, and we are glad to
know that the heineonvenience, discovered
by the postoffice clerks and made so
much of by the press, is mere tran
sient affair Of no consequence whatever.
Society is deeply interested in the sue
cessiul treatment and cure of the habit
OF dipsomania., Some of the most val
nable lives and brightest intellects fall
victims to it, and when it is known that
science has been able to grapple with it
as a disease and find sure cure for it,
humanity is rendered service of in
con- putable value. y

work shall be stopped upon the electric
road. 1t takes two parties to make
contract, and it requires the mutual
agreement OF the same parties to annul
it. In this case, however, Mr.. Fair
alone seems to have the power to break.
As the electric road people would
doubtless be able to enforce the
contract and recover in law all losses
for its violation, and as Mr.. Fair and the
other stockholders of the rolling mills
are abundantly able to meet all dam
ages, this whole matter has very
strange and unbusiness-like look. The
fact seems to be that the gentlemen of
the cable company very hotly resent the
bouncing manner in which the electric
company came in and paralleled some of
the best parts of their franchise, and
rode rough.shod over the old
company because it was weak
and not in position, as they thought,
to make any fight. But it would seem
as if they had counted without their
host. In the receiver of the road they
caught Tsrtar, who has shown himself
fertile in resources and capable of carry
ing the war waged upon his company
into Africa. 1t is difficult to see how
this thing will end. The public is OF
course interested in having all the roads
it can get-the more the better. Perhaps
the final upshot OF all this wrangling
and finesse will be consolidation OF the
interests of the companies, and the
completion only OF such roads as are
