EPH BROWN AND THE BEAR.
A Good Story of Pioneer Days in Wes


n GOOu story OF RlOneer DayS " est
ern New York.
Ephram Brown came with the settlers
who first broke into the heavy timbered for
ests not very far from the Cattaraugus
Creek, n. Y. Brown was an active, muscu-
lar man, never beaten in foot-race, and
the champion wrestler and chopper through
all that section Of country.
Bears were plenty and occasionally raided
the farmers pig pens and sheep-fOldS, and.
except by few hunters, were considered
rather nuisance than otherwise. Now Eph
had near neighbOr Shultz, who called on
him one day to examine his corntield, where
he said bears or coOns, or both, were pulling
down the corn every night. Brown looked
over the field and soon discovered by the
tracks that small bear, perhaps a year
ling. was making a nightly raid on the corn.
He Informed ShultZ that it was bear, and
offered for a small consideration that he
would that night or the next drive the bear
into his smoke-house and shut tie door.
Now, the consideration might have been five
or ten gallons of whisky, as that article was
then and there considered legal tender.
ShultZ readily agreed TO Browns proposal.
though rather doubling his ability to fulfill
the Contract ShultZ'S surprise was some
thing more than ordinary when on the fol-
lowing morning he found the bear cooped
up in his log smoke house with the door
shut, barred and bolted.
No one had seen just how Brown had cap
turrd the bear, but his explanation was
about as follows: He cut blue beech OK
CAD about the length of an ordinary fish
pole, with good switch end, and with this
formidable weapon he lay in ambush near
where the bear would be likely to pass in
coming into the field. 1t was long after the
full moon had risen that he discovered the
bear making toward the field and the bright
moonlight enabled him to see that it was the
same bear that he expected. By this time the
bear had scented danger aud started back for
the woods and Brown started for the
bear, which be overlook just at the moment
that it was climbing the high rail fence.
This gave Brown chance to give him a
smart cut over the nose, which brought the
bear in limp heap at his feet. but only for
a moment when he turned and began to
show fight, but one or two clips in the face
brought his nose down between his forelegs
at which, Brown said, he would whine like
a whipped cur. So he started brun for the
smoke-houSe, as he said, by touching him on
each flank, and If he went too fast he would
slow him up little by slight tap over the
nose with his long whip. In this way be
succeeded in working him up to the smoke
house, where the-bear was only too glad to
get in out Of reach of the cruel whip.-F0r.

A LAND OFFICE SCANDAL.
How Mr. Hartman Worked the Scheme For
Himsslf.

HOW Mr. hartman worked tne SCnene
Himself
An investigation Of certain alleged acts
of Richard j. Hartman, chief of the ac-
counts division of the general land Office,
is now being conducted by Commissioner
Croft. For some months stories affecting
Mr.. Hartman's official conduct have been
circulated around the corridors of the
land Office. According TO Dame RnmOr,
Hartman had a weakness for borrowing
money from his subordinates, and he in
variably forgot all about the loan after the
money had been spent. But, of course,
Hartman's superior could take no cogni-
zance OF his borrowing prochvities, and il
the clerks were willing TO accommodate
their chief with small loan that was
their business. But the investigation now
in progress, IL seems, relates to
something more serious. 1t appears
that about three months ago an
officer of the general land office was de-
tailed to proceed to the Tucson land office
in Arizona to assist in the prosecution of
Fred w. Smith, late receiver of public
moneys at Tucson, who was about to be
arraigned in the local courts as a defaulter
in the sum of $4,000. Hartman, so the
story goes, induced a clerk in the depart
ment to indorse note for S75, on the
promise that he Hartman would have
the clerk sent to Arizona to
prosecute the case, but at the last mo-
ment Hartman decided TO 60 himself,
and the clerk TO get even gave the whole
snap away. There is large iron safe in
the general land Office in which are tenn
porarily kept the sums OF money received
for various fees. amounts which some
times aggregated as much as $500 per
week This safe is in charge of Receiving
Clerk Henry ]. Haines, who is a bonded
official and officially responsible for the
integrity of its contents. Hartman knew
the safe combination. During his absence
it was discovered that some $500 had been
taken from the safe and Mr.. Haines made
the charges which led to the summons OF
his chief back to the capital
