a couple of months in the mountains,
spent two weeks at the home of Jim
Wilkins, a hospitable young married
man, who had come TO Colorado fifteen
years before with his parents.
One evening, as we sat before the
huge fireplace, after supper, Jim's wife
said something to her husband about
the time he was buried, and she smiled
in such queer way that my curiosity
was aroused at once.
What is that?" I asked. "Have you
ever been buried, Jim? Tell me about
it."
Eyes, tell him." urged his wife, and,
thus adjured, Jim consented.

ONLY HIS HEAD LEFT
THE VICTIM OF BEARS IN TIL
SAN GABRIEL CANYON.
The Result Of an Attack ON Miners
Camp by Bears-Plenty Of Big
Game in the Mountains.

Sportsmen with hankering to kill
big game can satisfy their taste as far as
hunting is concerned by an expedition
into the Businesses of the Sierra Madre
mountains; for, according to the &C.
counts of those who have recently been
in these mountains. bears are more nu-
merous than for many seasons past.
Excursionists last week to the country
in the vicinity of Bear valley report see-
ing bear and deer from the wagon
road.
The latest story Of bruin shppearance,
however, comes from the north fork of
the San Gabriel cafion.
On last Saturday Spaniard named
Cornea wanted to prospect ledge he
had found at the head OF Susanna cafion,
and he hired q burro from Silas
butcher, q ranchman who lives in
the cafion, and packed his outfit
to the little cation and went to work.
He returned in about two hours and
saw signs of bears in the vicinity of the
camp, with Indications that the visitors
were unusually large specimens. Not
thinking it prudent to advance, he made
his way back to Bill Rolter's ranch,
which is familiar to all campers, and
procured arms and assistance, and re-
turned to his camp, but when the party
arrived all they found was the burro's
head tied by the halter to tree where
Cornea had fastened the poor creature
when he left. All the articles of food
were gone, and tracks were found which
showed that three tremendous bears had
made free with his belongings.

NOT A TECHNICAL RAPE.
Justice Owens Thinks Hughes 6houls
Be Rendered Harmless.

Justice Owens Thinks Hughes Should
Be Rendered Harmless.
W. G.. Hughes was brought up for ex-
animation yesterday morning before
Justice Owens on a charge of assaulting
little Lille Smith with intent to commit
rape. He is the man who was watched
by Officer Johnson, Deputy Constable
Dave Parten and Constable Clements
last week taking a young girl around to
beer saloons and finally to a. lodging
house on Broadway, where they were
caught in bed together by the officers.
1t was hardly thought at the time Of the
arrest that q strong technical case could
be made out against the fellow, in spite
of the fact that his intentions to lead
the young girl astrsy were evident.
Such proved the case in court yesterday.
Upon examining the girl, who was IA
years old last February, she detailed the
circumstances OF her trip from Riverside
to Redondo and thence to Los Angeles,
substantially as heretofore published.
She did not deny being in bed with
Hughes, but said that he had never at
tempted any liberties with her.
After the testimony of the mother,
verifying the age of the girl, and the
story OF Officer johnson, Justice Owens
discharged the prisoner, but in doing 90
gave him some plain talk. He said
that, unfortunately, the law could not
reach him, and he was obliged by the
technical rules of the law to let him go
unpunished. The Judge became very
much in earnest, and intimated very
strongly that Hughes is scoundrel
who should be rendered harmless, if
possible, against any further attempts
to debauch young girls.

character with powder and shot, and
fearing that his opponent might become
go enraged that she would be tempted to
use the gun, Mr.. Walters picked it up
by the muzzle and struck the butt OF it

discharge of the weapon. The entire

passed through the body, Walters was

DID Lem YOU LIE?
The Progress Of the Celestiars
Trial.
Testimony Which Was Introduced
Yesterday.
some Talk About Witnesses Signalling
in Uourt-Ths Story OF the
Murder Of Goot Cue.
Notes.

The trial of Lem You for perjury was
resumed before Judge Mckinley yester-
day. J. J. Roper and F. H. Langley
were recalled. and the transcribed testi-
mony Of the late Officer Bevan was read.
All Lung also testified for the people,
and then Wong Yee, who was an eye
witness of the killing Of .Goot Cue by
Wong Ark.
Wong Yee testified that he saw Wong
Ark shoot Goot Cue. He was on the
other side OF the street at the time; and
asked Wong Ark why he had shot the
woman. The latter fell on the sidewalk
and Wong Yee blew his police whistle.
At this juncture Attorney Guthrie, the
lawyer Of the defendant, said:
"May it plesse the court, want Char
ley Quong removed from the court room.
He is signaling to the witness, and |
have been watching him for some time"
Assistant District Attorney Phibbs-
That is absurd; you are trying to infiu.
ence the jury. I might just as well ask
the court to remove Charley Ah Him,
who is sitting. at your elbow and making
suggestions to you.
Mr.. Guthrie-I want Charley Quong
removed, your honor.
Judge McKinley-I have seen no sig
malls, and think your suspicious are
entirely unfounded. Mr.. Guthrie.
Mr.. Guthrie-I can see better than
the court.
Judge McKlnley-I don't think You
can I have pretty good eyesight. Moth
ing Of the kind has occurred. Go on
with the case and let us have no moro of
that kind Of business.
Wong Yee then continued and testi-
fed that after he blew the whistle Or
Ger Rohn arrived, and soon afterward
the man ON horseback arrived. Wong
Yee positively testified that Lem You
was not present at the time OF the kill
ing, and when It was developed on
croae. examination that Wong Yee was
cousin of Wong Ark. somewhat of SEN
sation was caused in the court room.
He testified that three Cinnamon be.
side himself witnessed the killing OF
Goot Cue by Wong Ark, and in dra-
matte way indicated how the killing
occurred. Tho presence of Charley All
Him, who is alleged to be member OF
the notorious society OF the Hop Sing
Tong, in the court room as the adviser
OF the counsel for the defense, will prob
ably give occasion for vigorous kick

One of the most widely disseminated
of popular errors is that DR.. Guillotin
invented the grim machine which still

this sinister contrivance was DR.. Louis,
a well known medical man and perma-

Medicine, or Academic de Medicine.

the use of his name in connection with

that DR.. Guillotin was among the vic

Great Men and Sleep.

"The habit of great men in the matter OF
sleep forms an interesting subject of in
quiry," said Mr.. E. w. Jacobs, of Boston,
at one of the hotels recently, "and believe
such an inquiry would show that those
who have made the greatest mark on the
worlds history have always taken it in
abundance. There is popular belief that
Napoleon took only four or five hours rest,
but to my mind the theory has grown out
of the desire of his admirers to show that
in this matter, as in all others, he differed
from his fellows. AS a matter of fact, 1t
was impossible to tell exactly how long he
slumbered but it is certain that, like the
great generals in our own civil war, he
availed himself of every opportunity to
seek the greatest of all means of relief
from fatigue.
even when considering his plans on the
occasion of the greatest event of his mill
tary career, the battle of Waterloo, the
hour left him before the decisive moment
arrived was occupied with a snooze, which
he took with deliberation, after giving in
structions to one of his aids to arouse him
at the given time. So great, indeed, was
his love of nap that his most trusted
companions in arms always showed re-
gard for his feelings on the subject by
never disturbing him. Napoleon's case Is
only that of most military heroes and OF
most great men. st. Louis Globe-Demo,

The Difficulty with Chinese.

The difficulty of foreigner learning
the Chinese language may be inferred
from the statement of an English trav-
eler. He and his companion, previous
to starting for China, had supplied them
selves with a Chinese grammar. In a
day or two the discovery was made that
the single letter i had 145 ways of being
pronounced, and that each pronuncia-
ton had an entirely different meaning.
Then it dawned upon them that there
was no poetry about the Chinese Ian
guage, that it was not worth learning
and their grammar was secretly con-
signed to the river mud by being drop
ped overheard Blade.
