intended. Being at hand looked into
the complaint ! telegraphed to Kear-
ney for the box and letter, and upon re-
ceiving them put my own watch-an or
binary gold one-in the box and
weighed it. The package then was de-
ficient in postage, and upon weighing
the box empty it had on it just postage
enough to cover it. This was very good
evidence that the box was mailed
empty; especially so rs the box was reg
istered, and postmasters are required TO
see that registered packages are fully
prepaid. There would naturally be a
doubt about man intending to send
fine gold watch by mail, yet such
things are too often done. I then
called on the sender, who strongly pro-
tested that he had enclosed the watch,
and his wife swore she saw him do 1T,
and wanted to call in several neigh
hors to corroborate her. They pro-
tested SO much and were so certain
that knew very well that the watch
had been Intentionally withheld. So
told the man that the postage was just
enough to cover the mailing of an
empty box. lie replied, THAT may be,
but some of the stamps fell off an the
way. l remember very well putting
on more stamps"
IaslSed him, What amount" and
he answered, after figuring mentally a
minute, Seventeen cents.
Eyes" added his wife, 81 remember
Charley put on seventeen cents, be-
cause he came home and told me the
postmaster gave him eight cents change
for quarter. i got the quarter out of
my bureau-see it in there?-and I've
got the eight cents now somewhere. If
you want to see 'em I'll get 'em for
you"
But" suggested, twas your watch

watch, like railroad men carry, or
about like mine?"
"Oh, thinner than vours-a light
Swiss watch"
but the box and my watch would
only take fourteen cents and yours
would have taken no more postage"
'Oh, that's all right, because now l
come TO think of it, had long talk
with the clerk, and told him TO put on
three cents extra so it would go all
right That's the way it was.
well, then, come with me and we'll
see this clerk about it," / said. He
held off awhile, but went TO the post
office, and none of the clerks was 1.-The

postmaster drew up n letter to the
district attorney, purporting TO enclose
the box and letter as evidence for him
to prosecute the sender for fraudulent
use of the mails, but the man still
held out doggedly and went home.

NAN is a predating animal and de-
lights in the chase. AS a slayer OF
beasts he has distinguished himself
from the days of Nimrod until these
later times AS a hunter civilization
has not stayed his passion, though it
has directed it in other channels. The
civilians of cities are not now given
to roaming through the fields aid for
ests in search of prey, but their in
stincts are not at all lesseued and in
stead of hunting for birds and beasts
they now hunt or books and pictures
and china and postage stamps. And
to say truth, If the matter is to be
well weighed. the pleasures of the
civilians far outgo those of the MINI
rods.

The impromptu journey was brought
to a sudden ending by an immense
bowlder, against which the bear and

was undoubtedly highly satisfactory,

night about sunset i was swinging

the side of the mountain between a
miner and grizzly bear, with the man
about one hundred feet ahead running

rapidly and ii seemed that he had him

and darted off in another direction.
The grizzly was slow in stopping, but
when he did get slaughtered the way

Several times the miner played this

its fastenings and went tearing down

dead run. The man saw the barrel
coming and avoided it, but not so the
