ranchcr's troubles.
In little canyon branching off from
the trail which leads up to Gov. Water

Greenwood. One night in August
Greenwood was awakened by trc-

The rancher arose and got down his

of the window of the cabin. To their
horror there stood an enormous grizzly
He had squealing porker under his
left arm, and In anticipation of the
coming feast his face wore Joyous
expression. The two hastily retired
indoors and the huge bear lcsurcly
walked off with his prize.
Next morning the ranchman gave
the alarm. That afternoon five
miners armed to the teeth
with Winehcsters and sawed
off shot guns loaded slugs went down
to the Greenwood ranch, and thus be-
fore the moon rose took up positions in
some oak trees in the pig-corral. About
o'clock the watchers, with batcd
breath and trembling with excitement,
heard an ominous rustling in the low
chapparal. Every man cooked his rifle,
but to make sure work determined not
to fire until the bear had gotten into

HAUNTED ~ iils WIFE.

sInde Her Iifc Miserable,

Ont near the powcf bouso OF the
East Seventh street cable line, Says
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. there lives
man who Is haunted by tho ghost OF
his dead vito. Al leost this is the
story he tells. and ho is corroborated
by his children who say they also
have seen tho spirit OF thcir mother.
The name OF tho man Is given rs
Gordon. and 1t Is said that hc has bccn
n hard drinker for number OF years.
About n year ago his wifo brought
suit for divorcd. alleging among
other reasons why the matrimonial
knot should be severed, that her hus-
band was an habitual drunkard. Pre-
vlous 10 this time entrcatics and
threats lind bcen tried Upon the man.
but without avail. The prosfect of n
separation from his wife, however,
brought him TO his senses, and he
promised that II she would only live
with him hc would certainly reform.
In order TO make the promise OF
more effect he sought out priest and
took n solemn oath that he would not
drink any more intoxicating liquor as
long rs his wlfo should 1.-Two. Relying

band TO reform tho wife once more
forgave him, md divorce proceedings
were stopped.
For time all went well, The man
stopped drinking, and It really began
TO look Ms II tho wife was Mt last to
realize some Of the comforts Of home
life, of which she had boon deprived
for so many years. But her fond hopes
were soon blasted. Lovo for liquor
proved stronger than his love for mis-
wife, and the man was soon following
his old life OF drunkenness.
The wife seemed to be utterly dis
couraged by her husbands action. and
after lingering for few weary weeks
she sank down In the sleep OF death.
and found tho peace she had long look
el for in vain. After her death the
man continued TO indulge his evil
habit, and 1t Is said by his acqualn-
tunces that OF late he has seldom had
a sober moment OF existence.
Recently, however his drunken en-
loymcnt hns been interrupted. and he
claims that the ghost OF his dead com
pnnlon continually haunts him and up
hrnids him for breaking his oath. At
FIRST he only plunged deeper into dissi-
patton, IL that were possible but ho
could not fec himself from the woman
who had died in grief for his neglect
and abuse. Her faco appeared before
him continually during tho still
watches OF the night wearing lool;
Of rcproach that nearly rendered him
insane. At last he pleaded with the
spirit TO leave him alone. To friend
he ufterwnrd said thnt ia response TO
his entroatics the spirit said she would
haunt him until ho should die Be
coming angry Mt her refusal to leave
him, he seized gun and fired Mt the
ghost but, with mocting laugh. It
disappeared, only TO come again on
,hc succeeding night.
