Everybody has an idea as to how O
bull would act in china shop, but it
has remained for Los Angeles man to
determine just exactly what bear will
do in a brewery. And thereby hangs O
tale.
Heretofore slight mention has been
made of the rare fact that bear did
actually happen in on the night watch
man at Maier & Zobelein's brewery last
Thursday night, and that he was cap
tured and placed in d1rancs. Since
then reporter OF the HERALD has been
investigating the strange circumatance
with view TO giving the world the de.
tails of it.
The bear, at present sulkily crouching
under large box in a chicken yard
near the brewery, refuses to be inter
viewed. He is evidently afraid of arrest
for burglary and does not care to say
anything which might tend to injure his
ease. until he has had an opportunity to
consult with his lawyer.
When the reporter approached his
lai- and took hold OF the light chain
which tethers his royal hruinehip to O
bIoo ia tno Iminbulate Vicinity, MS royal
bruinship said something in his gruff
way that indicated to the reporter that
he had better drop that chain and get
out OF that. The reporter didn't do q
thing but drop the chain and get out.
The man who IA the dead OF night,
when the great grain room of the brew
cry was filled with solitude enough to
scare the life out of an ordinary man,
went in and yanked the bear out into
the moonlight by the scruf OF his neck,
was easier to interview.
He told the reporter how it all hap
pened. John Ortlier is the night watch.
man at the brewery. He has not been
long in this land and speaBs little OF it's
language and knows lesa of its zoology.
1t was along about midnight; every.
thing was still, the light OF a pale. wan
moon and the feeble glow OF electric
lamps filtered through dense fog and
oast baleful shadows across the brick
pavement in the little yard which leads
from the gate on Also street to the
arched driveway under the tall brick
brewery. John Ortlier was standing in
the shadow, ell alone, thinking of the
home he had left far away in Fader-
lsndt. Suddenly an Opaque figure ap.

Ruff, vino had captured it one chilly
night after the fright attendant upon
meeting the animal had subsidized, re-
fused to give the animal up. claiming
that it was a wild beast. and as he had
captured it it belonged to him. He
wanted $50 for the bear. The matter
was cut short by the constable seizing
Bruin and leading him away.
The bears belong to A. N. Cum
mings of Boyle Heights, and were
captured by him in the Teha-
chepi mountains last winter. Mr..
Cummings had them staked out at his
residence, but last Thursday night they
slipped their chains and wandered away.
One chased around the southern end Of
the city and met an untimely end,
while the other brought up at the brew
cry and was living on beer when the con-
stable put an end to his fun.

! peared crossing the road wav. It's tread
was heavy and slow. The form crossed
the walk, came through the wide gates
and passed into the little court. Ortlier
stood perfectly still. He had never seen
an animal like this before. 1t surprised
him somewhat. Each individual hair
OF his head seem to suddenly rise up
and atand alone, and streaks OF wild
lightning played tag along his spinal
column. There wac strange and unac-
countable lump in his throat which
couldn't be swallowed try as he might.
The strange animal never once noticed
John Ortlier in the shadow. He seemed
to have come on important business and
evidently knew what he was up to.
Across the little court his bare feet
made scarcely sound as he paced off
the distance with measured tread. The
door to the barley room stood partly
open. He slid it back just little fur
ther and passed on into the dense dark
ness of the place.
John Ortleir's reason came back pres
emily, and he stole cautiously to the
door and pulled it shut. He had cap
tured something, he knew not what.
Asleep in the engine room was Crist
Ruff. John Ortlelr called Crist Ruff

He has no fear OF wild beasts even in the

Crist drew open the door and let him.
self into the room, closing the door again
after him. He stood still until his eyes
became accustomed to the darkness and
oil the while he could hear the powerful
jaws OF the beast in there with him
branching great mouthfuls of barley.
AS soon as be could see we'll enough 10

animal held his ground and growlsd.
Christ never wavered. He crossed the
intervening space rapidly and pounced
upon the animal with all the force of his
powerful frame.
1t was remarkable struggle; man
and beast there alone, and it lasted some
time. Crist WAS torn several times, the

SACRAMENTO BEER ABROAD.
A Barrel Of "Gilt Edge" That Was Shipped
to Switzerland
Highly Praised by a Swiss Editor,
Who Writes Heartily of His
Appreciation.

Sacramento beer in Switzerland is the
latest bit of enterprise on the part of
Captain Ruhstaller. On March 10th he
shipped a barrel of "Gilt Edge'' to Elm
| siedeln, Switzerland. 1t arrived there on
April 10th, and, although shipping beer
to that distant country is something like
! sending coal to Newcastle, the Sacra-
mento beverage was received with great
favor there.
In noting the arrival of the barrel Of
''Gilt Edge' the Einsiedeln 1'agebtatt
publishes quite a fattering notice. of
which the following is translation:
''The Nord California Herotd, which
paper appears in Sacramento, California,
writes:
-" To drink European beer here is
nothing new. but even the old Ben Akiba
did not dream that you would drink
American beer brewed on the Pacific
Coast in Switzerland etc.
''We believe the Herold undertakes the
| travelling and commercial relations be-
tween Switzerland and America little,
for there is many glass of Transatlantic
beer tasted in Switzerland, but, as far as
EinSiedeln is concerned, it may be cor
rect. Anyhow, it is an original idea for
Mr.. Ruhstaller TO send keg of beer from
California to our highlands, and, at the
same time. a representative in the person
OF Mr. Christian Meiz, one OF his en-
ployes.
1.-The beer in question, named Gilt
Edge left Sacramento March 10th and
| arrived here April 10th. The expenses for
transportation amounted to the respect
able sum Of $40 Last Saturday a choice
crowd had come together in the Rehstock
for the purpose OF sampling and doing
justice to the American beer in proper
shape. In solemn silence the crowd
watched the jovial brewing master of
Americas far West tap the barrel and
pour out the gold-clear, amber liquid in
glasses and stone pots. Slowly every
body lifted his glass to the mouth to taste
and scent the excellent flavor of the beer.
1t surpassed all expectations. The first
impression was good; it tasted like more,
and soon out of small sips they made
long draughts, and long before midnight
the American beer keg was empty.
Nothing was left but the ghost of the
Gilt Edge which was alive in the
heads Of many beer-drinkers. We cannot
but express our appreciation of the maker
OF such excellent brew. 1t was noble,
edel and 'suffig,' and deserves to be
praised in the songs of the poets"
And then the writer concludes: "If
they have beer like this always in Cali
fornia, would not mind living myself
in Sacramento"

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.
The Death Yesterday of Mrs. walte
T.. Emery

The Death Yesterday of Mrs. Walter
T. Emery.
Many of the friends of Mrs. Walter P.
Emery were shocked yesterday on learn
ing of her death at her home, S26 L street,
as the fact of her illness was not generally
known.
Mrs. Emeryss life in this city, where
she grew to womanhood, has been
marked with innumerable deeds of char
ity, and many a suffering person has been
aided and desolate homes been bright
ened and made happy by her unseIfish
ministrations. In every charitable un-
dertaking she has been a conspicuous
figure, while her private efforts were be-
ing continuously exerted in behalf Of the
sick, the poor, and the unfortunate. The
community is sufferer by the taking of
OF a woman of such noble character.
Mrs. Emery was daughter of the we'll
known pioneer, n. Fl. n. Brown. Be-
sides her father and husband, w. p.
Emery, she leaves a sister, Miss Phoebe
Brown.

press his thoughtincreased with the year.
and toward the last became sadly notice
able. He bore it all with manly neroIsm
and sometimes with humor. Once when
he wanted something he said: Il know
what want but don't know its name:
But know its history. People steal It."
This. Of course, left no doubt that what
he wanted was an umbrella.
Emerson always preferred to be called
poet; and certain it is that his instinct
and feeling entitled him to the name.
But his fame rests equally secure on his
prose writings. Every great man is the
EN- mbassador of q great idea. Emerson
was prominently message bearer. he
wrote for a purpose. The phrase oftenest
met with is 'the moral sentiment and
IL is the supremacy of this sentiment that
Emerson urges. He was essentially
prophet and reformer, though he never
posed as such. He was not an iconociast.
HIS plan was to supplant the lower forms
of thought and feeling by introducing
higher ones.
But while Emerson thus emphasizes
this, he is not man of one idea. He has
thoughts for all minds and all moods.
There is always an air of contagious
eheerfulness about him. Holland said OF
him: ''He always came down to break
fast with the air of a man who had just
met with some signal good fortune; and
the remark characteriZes Emerson per-
fectly. Though not perfect, he was dis
| tinguished by an habitual sanity that
must endear him to all rational souls.
Emerson looked at matters, not with the
limited vision of specialist, but with
the broad sagacity of man of the world.
Here at last we feel was one worthy to be
called a man; open minded, sincere,
courageous, cheerful Emerson.

CONVICT REEVES HOPE.
He May Seek His Release Because of
Clerical Error.

He May Seek His Release Because of a
Clerical Error.
1t is possible that convict named Dick
Reeves, now serving a sixteen-years'
sentence in Folsom State Prison, will,
because of technical clerical error, en-
deavor to obtain his release on habeas
corpus.
In December, 1884, Reeves was con-
vieted in the Superior Court of this
county of burglary in the first degree
and on the I'd of February in the year
following he was sentenced TO imprison-
ment by Judge Van Fleet.
The judgment was correctly entered in
the judgment book, but in copying the
commitment into the minute book the
then clerk of the court omitted that part
of the document which reads: Having
been found guilty of burglary" etc.
1t is claimed by some that the absence
of the nature of a crime in a commitment
invalMated it.
Under the old English law the slightest
error in the punctuation or wording of a
commitment was enough to validate a
PERSONS appeal for release on habeas
corpus. But the law, as il is now, pro-
vides for a liberal construction of the
statute in such cases, and a mere techni-
cal clerical error uOeS not JUSTIFY appI1ca-
ton by criminal for release on habeas
corpus.
A RECORD UNION reporter learned yes
terday that Carroll Cook, the San Fran
cisco lawyer, had applied to County
Clerk Hamilton for a certified copy of the
commitment consigning Reeves to the
State Prison. and from what could be
ascertained it is supposed that an attempt
will be made to obtain his release on ha-
beas corpus.
1t is said by Courthouse officials that
the correctness of the judgment itself is
enough to prevent Reeves release, and
any attempt to liberate him on account
of an omission in the minute book will
be futile

NO CONTEST.
San Francisco Horseshoers Fail t
Meet the Sacramentans.

Sdn EFaACISCO 11OES6SHOSrS I'LL 10
Meet the Sacramentans.
Winters and Morgan, well-known
horseshoers of this city, went to Colma,
San Mateo County, to participate in the
championship contest announced for Sat-
urday last, but no horseshoers appeared
to contest. The San Francisco men did
not appear. The contest had been ar
ranged on the square and many agreed to
come, but. while several came to Colma,
none entered except Winters and Morgan
of Sacramento. Joe McCauley was man
aging it.
The report was that the anvil was not
fixed right, but it was all right and the
forge was all right. The San Francisco
men did not come up to contest, and that
was all there was to it.
The contest was fixed for Colma be-
cause the blacksmiths and a garden there
offered the prizes, probably to draw a
crowd. The Sacramento men offered to
go on for jack-knife or the match, or
anything, but none took 'em up. The
belief of the Sacramento men is that the
San Francisco and other shoers dare not
enter against the Sacramento men.
