Bruin Plays Practical Jokes on Trainmen

Bruin Hays Practical Jokes on Iratnmen
 of the S., G. and P.
 ''I've quit work on the S., G. & P.," said a loomotive engineer from western Pennsylvania to q New York Sun corre- spondent, and am looking for job on a road that is up to the times and will equip itself with things that tho exigencies of its territory demand. I've thrown up my job. Why? Because the &, G. & P is so pigheadcd and bound to stay in q rut that it won't be consistent and equip itself right.
 ''From Peeled Hemloclz to Gas Tank Junction, 42 miles, there arc only three stopping places on the g., c. & P. One is a tannery, one sawmill and one an oil we'll The rest is woods.
 'One day I was booming along with G heavy train of bark and lumber and oil when about 100 yards ahead of us l saw a big bear come slouching out of the woods at one side of the track. When we had got within q few rods of the bear, he de- liberately stepped on the track, and, it seemed to me- actually stood there making faces at us. That made me mad, and l pulled my old engine wide open and went for that bear at 25 miles an hour.
 "'Now watch the bear meat hyl' I said to my fireman.
 i've swept down on the bear liko cy- clone, and 1 looked and waited for the shower of bear meat expected to see. It didn't come. Smashed into mush on the pilotl I said and went out in front along the rail to see just how bad we had done bruin up. 1 give you my word was sur prised
 "The bear sat on the pilot as cool as a cucumber He had reached up and taken the lamp out of the headlight and was pouring the oil out of it over himself and rubbing it in as liniment.
 '"Then he looked up and saw me, and chucking the lamp at my head and only missing me by an inch he took hold of one of the flag standards and swung him. self off to the side of the track as slick as could be and danced way into the woods.

A VALUABLE FOLDER.

The Queen and Crescent is out with a new California and Texas folder, which, {, while small, has considerable immigration information regarding the farm and timber lands along the line of this road. The fol- lowing is an extract that will prove valua- ble to any immigrant:
 Over ,0O0, GOO acres of the finest timber, farming and mineral lands in the south, adjacent tC the Queen and Crescent lines 1T Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, are for sale.
 The land is being rapidly taken up by northern farmers at prices ranging from $3 to S5 per acre, on long time payments. There is no other section within twenty hours of Cincin natl, the natural market for the south, where farm land can be bought so cheaply.
 These lands are excellent for farming and well covered with good timber. The cli- mate is m usually healthful and never sub- ject 10 the extremes found in the north and svest; the winters are mild and salubrious and the summers, although longer than fose in the north, rarely exceed in heat the temperature in Maryland.
 The lands in Alabama lie along the line of the Alabama Great Southern railroad which runs between Chattanooga, Tenn. {, and Meridian, Miss. The lands in Missis- sippi are located between Meridian and Vicksburg, on the Alabama and Vicksburg railway, and in Louisiana, between Delta and Shreveport, on the Ficfsburg, Shreve. port and Pacific railroad.

ter, but nobody didn't turn up to explain. While they was figgerin of it out I seen four thumpin big bars come out O the woods, two O 'em nigh the middle of the train, an two of 'em nigh the hind end.
 '@' Fore we could holler them two bars at the middle O tho train had each clum on car an sot the brakes tightern jack screws an then run an sot 'em on t'other cars, sos we couldn't start an inch. We had carload O supplies for the tannery settlement an while the two bars was settin the brakes t'other ones broke in the car an rolled out two bar'l pork an joggled 'sm off into the woods. Then t'other b 'ars clum down an follered lem, an there wasn't man on the train dast say word.
 II was torn little with doubt after the fircman's story, in spite of what l haa just seen of S., G. S F. bears but fsH days later felt that I had wronged my fireman. We were going down Spillbucket grade, which drops at about 100 feet to the mile, and WIG were going fast. Half way dowh out of the woods stepped an- other big bear. He jumped plumb on the track and waited for us and grinned.
 t'Hoid your breath, Bill, I said to my fireman, for I'm going to lubricate the rails with that bear at 100 miles an hourP
 
 head there was. When we reached that bear, couldn't sec tho trees, we were go- ing so fast. Then hollered for brakes and began to slow her up. She hadn't begun to slow any, for WIG had only got to the bottom of the grade, when what should loom up before me but the bear climbing up from tho pilot and coming right to- ward tho cab window along the guard rail.
 1T didn't wait for him, but made q break for tho top of tho car behind the en- zine, and tho fireman followed me. The bear came on, took possession of tho cab, shut off steam and brought the train to stop half milo farther on. Then he picked up my dinner pail and the fire mans, both loaded to the lid, and with one in each paw strode away into tho woods.
 I think that un's leetlc more n the average of fair to middlin' said the fire man as we climbed back to the cab and went on.
 But, whether he was or not, my mind was made up Railroading on the &, c. &s P. was way behind the times l could sqo plain enough, and I put tho matter right to headquarters.
 ",Here, l said. This won't do! This road ain't being run rightl'
 ''Thcy wanted to knew why it wasn't.

 And what did they do? They didn't do anything but kept right on guarding themselves against COWS when there wasn't ono within 20 miles of 'cNl, while tho bears run the road just as they blame pleased So I quit, and m looking for a job on Q road that aint afraid to get out nf a rut.''

A BLOODY FIGHT
Twenty Rounds for the Welter Weight Championship Decided in Fa-
 vor of Ryan of Chicago.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mlnn., July 26.-The twenty-round welter weight fight for the championship between the mysterious Billy Smith of Boston and Tommy Ryan of Chicago took place at the Twin City Athletic club before fully 4O00 people to- night. Both men were in the ring to- gether at o'clock, the scales being placed in the center. Both mounted in fighting costume, with the weights placed at 142 pounds, and neither lifted it. Tom West, Solly Smith and Ted Alexander acted as seconds for Smith, while Jerry Murphy, Harry Baker and Professor Lewis acted in the same capacity for Ryan.
 Joe Choyinski was chosen referee by both parties.
 The fight began at 9:15. The fighting was rather sharp from the start, with first blood for Ryan in the seventh round. Up to and including the seventeenth round close of the eighteenth round Ryan got in terrific left handler on Smiths nose which sent him to the ropes. Ryan followed up his advantage and Smith fought to keep from going out. It was give and take in this fashion for the balance of the round, Ryan getting much the best of the in- fighting, and plainly had Smith going when the bell rang.
 The nineteenth opened with Smith bleed- ing profusely from his nose, but full of fight. Ryan was much the stronger, and afler coaxing Smith on for the first hall of the round took the initiative for the first time during the fight and did his best to put Smith out. The latter fought back blindly, but without effect. Smith was knocked to the floor twice, but as the gong rang came to his feet and the call of time just saved him.
 The last round Ryan started in with a determination to put Smith out at long distance. The latter was still strong enough to fight back, but could hardly see to try to save himself. The men were clinched a good share of the time during the round and both very weak, Smith being hardly able to stand. When time was called the men were both striking at each other blindly. Smith was in much the worse
 onditon, out of breath and nearly blind.

DlABOLIC OUTRAGES
Committed by Strikers in the Windy
 City-Shots and Stones.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Stones and bullets flew around a two-story brick building at 3524 Wentworth avenue tonight. In the building, which had been rented by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad com- pany, were domiciled twenty five non- union employees of the road, hired to take the places of the strikers. Outside were the attacking party of strikers and their synpathizers, who had been hanging around all day, throwing stones. The gang was bent on exterminating their ene- mics or driving them from their work. In order to give them better protection the twenty five employees were sworn in as special deputy United States marshals and armed with revolvers.
 At 9 o'clock the gang got in at the rear and broke all the glass in the second story, where all the men slept. Two of the rail road employees, Farrar and Fairly, put their heads out the window and fired two bullets into the crowd. One of the bullets pierced the jacket of Mrs. Haller. mob which stood back of the strikers began to fire bullets reckiessly toward the building and dozen shots were exchanged before the alarm was responded to by the police from the Sixtieth station.
 They came dashing up in patrol wagon, but the mob had fled and the employees could not be arrested because they were deputies.
 ,ro prevent a return of the gang, how ever, the police stood guard outside the building all night.
 A. Hine, who left his cooper shop at Rockford, Ill.,, to take the place of a strik- ing butcher at Armour's packing house, left the place where the non-union men were boarding and was proceeding past Halstead and Thirtieth street tonight, by several men. He was removed to the hospital in serious condition.

His face was covered with blood. He,
 however, was not cut, but was on his feet fighting back when time was called. AS far as the round itself was concerned,
 honors were almost even, despite Smiths
 condition. Referee Choyinski said, in giving his decision: "This fight was for points, to last twenty rounds, and l give
 my decision in favor of Ryan,"
 The decision was given with cheers and was, of course, unquestioned. Smith was
