on the affair editorially you state

Knight refused to engage in bridge
work at any price, the police jury
were justified in handing Mr.. Trivia

repairs that we're imperatiUelynee

It is we'll, some think, that these
things happen in free America, and
not a few generations ago, in q
country governed by Friedrich The

might have been hung.

Last week it was thought that
the measles had about subsidized in
this locality, and we SO announced
in the paper, as no new cases had
developed for two weeks. On Sat-
urday morning, however, Mr.. E. L.
Stuckey, typo in the CHRONICLE
Office, showed up with a we'll de-
veloped case of measles, and as a
consequence the edition has had to
do all the work in getting out the
paper this week. Mr.. Stuckey re-
manned in bed only four or five
days, and is up and about again,
with fair prospect of being all
right in a day or two.

THEY KILLED TIE BEAR.
Two Plucky Boys and One Blunder-

From the Kennebec Journal.

paradise. Go outside the village a half
mile and you can see deer tracks or ossing
and recrossing in all directions.

Of two or three miles is all that is necessary
to bring you into the very heart of a
splendid game country. The man who can
not bag deer or bear must indeed be a
poor hunter.
Last fall two boys, aged respectively ID
and IA. started out from the village on "a
grand bear hunt" as they termed it. They
were armed with one cur dog and an old
fashioned fint-lock pistol.
The first day they tramped ten hours
without seeing any game and then camped
out on the ground in the woods In the
morning they were up and Off again with
unfiagging zeal and courage.
About noon they heard the dog barking
violently, and retraclng their steps they
found that the canine had freed an immense
bear. The boy who held the pistol took de-
lberate aim and pulled the trigger A flash
in the pan was the only result, and after sew
eral Intellectual attempts to discharge the
thing they held council Of war.
In the meantime the bear showed a dis
position to come down and take hand in
the deliberations.
The boys hastily primed the blunderbus,
and this time it went Off, knocking the
young hunter over backward and appar-
emily doing no damage b the boat. Again
the boys consulted. and after about hals an
hours work they succeeded in reloadIng the
ancient hrearm.
As chance would have It, the next bullet
struck the bear exactly in the heart, killing
him instantly and bringing him 10 tue
