dent at Port Muller. on the north side OF
the Alaskan Peninsula. Their names are
Thomas Boswell and j. Schieffelin, and
they were ashore prospecting for coal
Both were armed with rifles. They came
across a bear and both fired. Though
badly wounded the animal made rush at
the men, and In the excitement Boswell
got cartridge jammed In his gun. Be-
fore Schieffelin could reload the bear was
upon them and knocked them down. one
after the other, with blow from its paw.
Boswell tried to get to bis feet, but the
bear seized him by the leg and crushed it
from the knee down. Tho animal then
ran away but returned about ten minutes
later, when Scheffelin, who had recovered
consciousness. shot IL. The two men got
back TO the schooner, and the Captain
made sail for Ounalaska. IL took eight
days TO get there, aud then Surgeon Berry

A Fight with n Devil Fish.

George Barnes. OF Fort Bragg, accom-
panied by fisherman, were searching for
sea eggs, and a fine abalone shell partly
covered by a rock catching his eye he de.
termined to secure the prize. Barnes,
who was barefooted, stepped into the
water to obtain a good purchase on the
rock when his left ankle was seized by
one OF the tentacles Of a big octopus The
surprised explorer made hasty effort to
draw his imprisoned foot away. but moro
deadly in their grip than the nippers OF q
policeman are the long. flexible feelers OF
the devil fish. and soon three or four more
tentacles OF the submerged monster were
Tapped around Barness foot and leg,
while his hips and waist were enclrcled in
the Shiny embrace Of the devil fish.
Barnes used every exsrtion to either
free himself or else land the octopus up on
the beach, but his strength gave out and
he would soon have succumbed to the
fish's viselike hold and been drawn into
the sea had not his companion noticed his
sad plight and fastened to his rescue.
The fisherman piled a hstchet and q
huge knife with good effect, and soon sec-
tions OF tentacles were severed from the
devil fish and dropped In the tide, squirm-
ing like cells. The wholesale carving Of
its feelers proved too much for the octo-
pus, and its several holds on Barnes's lea
and body relaxed, and he was dragged up
on the sand and allowed to recSesr from
the fright and weakness induced by the
unpleasant adventure

Recently some Iumbermen saw a big
bear In the woods three miles from Toby
hanna, Pa, on the Pocono Mountains.
On Monday George Peters took his gun
and dog and went out after tho bear. The
dog drove the bear from a swamp. and IL
made its way up the side OF a steep ridge
and disappeared In cavity In the rocks.
Peters followed IL to the spot and started
fire with hemlock boughs In the mouth
of the opening. This opening was a
crevice which ran into the rocks some dis
tance and then turned and opened In
another place In the face OF the ledge.
While Peters was busying himself In
building the fire the bear followed the
crevice In Its windings and passed out at
the other end. The animal was half way
to the top OF the ridge before either the
hunter or the dog discovered it. The dog
started in pursuit. and the bear sought
safety in tree. Peters went up and shot
the bear, which came tumbling out of the
tree to the ground. The dog closed with
the wounded animal while II still lay on
the ground, but the bear was not so badly
hurt but that IL WAS able to kill the dog
with one blow OF its paw. Peters emptied
his remaining barrel into the bear, but
even that did not wholly disable the ami
NAL, which now assumed the offensive In
the fight Peters. believing that the bears
wounds must be mortal. and that 1t would
be only short time before the bear must
succumb to them, resol we'd to put himself
out OF reach OF the infuriated brute, and
quietly wait for the end.
The bear did not give the hunter time
TO take the first step away. for, although
desperately wounded. the animals vitality
and agility were as yet apparently unim-
paired. The bear pressed Peters SO closely
that he had broken his gun over the ami
mails head. and was welding his hunting
axe against the bear, In reach OF the ami
mails claws, almost before he realized
his perilous position. The bear fought
so desperately that the hunters cloth
ing was soon In Ntters, and he
had received several bad flesh wounds.
The bear, covered with blood which
poured from the wounds in its side and
shoulder, finally began to weaken. and it's
weakening was rapid. IL staggered In its
efforts TO get 1T Peters, and In jumping
aside to avoid one of its rushes Peters
struck his foot against stone and fell
heavily 10 the ground. The bear followed
and fell on Peters. The latter became
unconscious from terror. When he re-
covered he lay where he had fallen and
the bear was dead by his side.
Peters was not seriously injured, but
his appearance when he reached homo
was such that his friends thought he had
been in boiler explosion at the mill.-N.

To ANY readers of The SENTINEL who
have notion Of going to Ashland for
the purpose of securing homestead on
the Omaha grant we have only one
word Of advice-dont. There is an
ugly crowd there and in all probability
there will be some blood-letting before
the end is reached. Already line Of
over 200 men has been formed before
the door of the land Office, although il
is more than week yet before the lands
will be subject to entry, and they are
all we'll armed. Every train is bringing
more, and the later ones are getting
ugly and threaten TO break the line. by
violence il necessary. Secretary Noble
did very foolish thing when he barred
out settlement rights on this grant.
What show has woman or a physical
~ inferior man, in such mob, of secur-
ing homestead on this grant? In
stead of giving NIL an equal show none
but the sturdy woodsman or a bully
stands chance. When the NJ, H. &
o. and o. & ID. r. grants were opened
up the preference was given 70 the act
nal settlers, and this is the wisest
policy. or course it has tendency to
Increase vexatious litigation in the de-
partment, bnt there is less liability Of
bloodshei and forcible deprivation of
individual rights.
