HE LASsOED A GRIZZLY.

A Remarkably Novel and Nervy Feat by
a California Cowboy.
Raterseld tCal) Correspondent San Francisco
Chronicle. ,
Saturday last George Kenison, who is in the
emplov OF the cattle department Of the Kern
County Land Company, was riding In the Coast
Range mountains, near Carissa, looking after
stock. when he came upon q grizzly bear. when
frat seen the bear was sitting on its launches.
Kenison made for the bear and got 1t started
down the gulch. He kept behind 1t until 1t came
ont on the Carissa plains. Then he raced
onicLIv mn to it, fred shot from his pistol into
its hack. and while passing threw his lasso over
its neck and then Strengthened out the rope;
The horse was greatly frightened ana look 8ooo
care TO keep the rope taut, built was long ois.
tarce foht rs there was about sixty feet OF
rome between the bear and the horse
kenison kept his horse under perfect control.
! When the bear would clutch the RATA ne ma
| neuyered with the horse so as to break the
I bears hold. He circled around and around
/ with good horsemanship and perfect coo,hess'
/ all the time keeping the rope tight around the

CONTRACTS FOR PRINTING.
A Board to Investigate Them convened
bv the Secretary of War;

Board to Investigate Them Soh"e'eo
by the Secretary of war.
The Secretary of War has convened board
OF officers to investigate the methods OF giving
out contracts for printing In the army
found that there is no regularity among the de-
partment commanders in making contracts Cor
printing. md that recent changes In the army
regulations affecting printing have further con-
fused the system
In some departments. like that OF Gen.
Howard. the printing bill amounts to $500 per
month. The service is for furnishing the paper
and printing the various orders as they are
issued and the envelopes and blank forms used
in daily work at headquarters.
In most Instances the department COM
manders have been imposed upon. Many of
the printers who have contracts charge per
i 600 ems and make liberal use of what is
known in typography ~ leads (pieces OF metal
which go between the lines of type) and
lengthen the matter out, thus distending the
space occupied.
This trick, with another. that Of plentifully
paragraphing. has sweiled the bills and it has
been decided TO establish new regulations which
shall render the government an adequate re-
turn for its expe mixtures. After July / u new
method will go into effect. and it is likely that
the printing will be given out by the job instead
Of by the annual contract at so mucn per ,0OO
ems.

Paw of First Serpeants-

An order has been prepared at the War De-
partment which will formally establish the pay
Of first sergeants as s25 instead Of $50 per
month. and the pay OF serseants as S1s instead
Of SIT per month. This increase applies only to
sergesnts of cavalry. artillery and infantry, and
the organizations classed Herewith. 1t does
not include sergeants of the ordnance, engineer
and signal corps.
Assistant Secretary Grant prepared a bill last
year the purpose Of which was to increase the
paw OF all non-commissioned officers, but il
failed. and in its place another bill was passed
increasing the pay Of sergeants and first SER
geants-
The law now allows first sergeant more pay
than IL given to a sergeant major. although the
former is the subordinate Of the latter. The
inconsistency will probably be corrected by the
next Congress.

The object of the dock trial is 20 test the ma

acquired horse power would be less when the
vessel was tied at the dock than il she were

Its machinery shown.
The conditions Of the trial are out OF the

contractors for the machinery for the Maine a
portion Of their contract price
