following to the Buckley Banner:
Last Saturday Lou Smith was digging
ditch beside the public road between
his barn and house, when he I'M
earthed the skeleton of a man. The
skeleton was found about two feet be-
low the surface Of the ground. and the
bOny feet were In pair OF leather
shoes. It is known that during the
Indian war in 1855 two men were
killed in this vicinity by the Indians
and buried in grove that once stood
where this skeleton was discovered.

Judge Harris, OF Whatcom, has a
large and choice assortment OF black
bears OH his ranch. In the neighbor.
hood Of his barns there are probably
more bears to the square acre than at
any other point in the known world.
The Rereille says the other evening he
discovered a monster plantagrade
caressing and fondling one of his
Berkshire pigs. Bruin held the pig
tenderly in his arms, while ever and
anon he would reach down gently and
remove a steak from the pigs back.
The bear was finally persuaded,
through the aid of fence rail, to kiss
the pig good night and adjourn. Sing
ing school has been broken up at Ten
Mile by the bears, and many farmers
consider them worse than the Chinese
and mafias, and would like them
urlven out.
