A GIRL WHO CAN SHOOT,

Her Unerring Air, s.rved Her Father from
IL Terrible Death.
I'm my recent trip to New Mexico in
the interests of the Omaha stock ex-
change / witnessed an act of heroism
that ] shall never forget" said w. +.
Skinner to an Omaha Bee man. "The
central figure was beautiful and re-
fined young lady, the daughter of a
banker who owns extensive cattle
ranches in northern New Mexico. Dur
ing the vacations she had passed on the
ranch she had acquired wonderful
proficiency with the rifle, and could
shoot with the accuracy of an old ranch
man. One day we were startled by see
ing a cinnamon bear, and large one at
that, near the edge of gully but a
short distance from the house. Both
father and daughter rushed for their
rifles and made for the ravine. The
wild beast was on the opposite side and
unable to get at us. The banker in his
excitement got too close to the edge of
the ravine and tumbled in, falling dis
tance of twelve or fifteen feet. He Law
stunned by the force of the fall, and we
feared he had been seriously hurt. In
another second down tumbled bruin
into the gully, whether Intentionally or
accidentally ! don't know. But the
awful danger of my host Immediately
flashed upon me. He was too stunned
to help himself, and the savage beast,
infuriated by the pain of his fall, rushed
toward the PROSTATE man. ! was frozen
with horror. In twinlkling heard
the report of a rifle at my side, saw a
puff of smoke, and the bear dropped
dead almost on the helpless form of the
banker turned and saw my fair com
panion just dropping her rifle from her
shoulder. Her face was pale, but her
eyes lit up with look Of mingled Joy
and triumph. She had saved her father
from terrible death by her presence
of mind and unerring aim"

North SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 27.-As
result of what was considered a tri-
fling accident Conductor Bob Duffy, OF
the Omaha, died and his aged father
dropped dead on hearing of Bob's end.
Duffy was one of the best known con-
ductors in the Northwest. Monday he
jumped from his train, breaking leg,
but suffering no other injuries ap.
parently. Tuesday he sunk into a
state of coma, from which Dr. Connor
was unable to rouse him. His case is
remarkable, even in railroad surgery,
for although his death was due to pres
sure on the brain, caused by blood
flowing from rupture Of blood YES
sci in the spinal column, he suffered no
pain nor paralysis, and few minutes
before he became unconscious he sat
up and wrote a letter

The Proxy Question.

From the Weekly Under,criter, a lead
ing insurance newspaper, journal op-
posed to the management of President
Beers, of the New York Life, March
9Th, 1892, says:
ave cannot let the pronunciamento
of General Slocam's Committee of
Seventy" go without republication in
our columns, nor can we print it with
out word of caution as to accepting its
reckless misstatements of facts and i'm
proper conclusions. The editor of this
paper is a policy holder in the New
York Life Insurance Company, and as
such desires to say to his fellow policy
holders that they will do well to steer
clear of Gen. SlOcum's self-cOnstitnted
committees. 1t seems incapable of tell
ing the truth about the past or of intelli-
gent guidance for the future, and is
witlal pulled up with a conceited no
ton of its own Importance. To read
this circular and without other evidence,
one would suppose that this committee
had been foremost in the reorganization
of the company, whereas it really had
nothing to do with the matter, except to
endorse it after it was accomplished
The discussion in this circular of the
proxy question, which the committee is
convinced lies at the foundation of the
present abuses in life insurance manage
ment," has in it about as little of intelli-
gence as the rest of the committees
singular notions. Stripped of its phrases
it really amounts to this, that under the
proxy system the officers, backed up by
majority of the policy holders, control
the company, and the policy holders are
themselves to blame for this. Ger
tainly if there is any blame attaching to
anyone, they are. If we were to sug-
gest any plan regarding proxies in the
management of a mutual life insurance
company, we would extend the proxty

Damaees for Breach of Promise.

The breach of promise suit brought by
Inez d. Clark against W. E. Hodges, both
of Clarendon, was concluded Tuesday at
Rutland. A verdict of $4,000, with costs,
was awarded the plaintiff. The case was
summed up Monday morning and given
to the jury at 2.10 O'clock Tuesday after
noon. At 4.30 o'clock they came in with
verdict. 1t is reported that the jury
settled the amount of damages by mark
ing on the amount. Some marked as
high as $1,000, but the markings were
averaged up, and in this way the result
was obtained. Mr.. Hodges will probably
appeal to the Supreme court.

system and make the selection of di-
rectors matter of representative voting
altogether. We have more than once
suggested this. The annual election of
a mutual life insurance company with
six hundred thousand policy holders
ought not to dwlndle into perfunctory
meeting of the President and dozen or
so of followers to register their own de-
crees. There ought to be hundred
representative men, representing the
policy holders and elected by them, who
should have their expenses and per
diem for attendance on the annual meet
ing, and that meeting should be one OF
discussion of the business of the year
closed and plans for the future. The
company that adopts some such system
as this will find it perfect success"
