The wool on top OF Constable Sam Jones
head saved his scalp from being ripped
open yesterday with . bed Stat in the
hands of a German woman named Mrs.
Gus Scar, who resides near Cheney.
Sam has been in Office over year and
all the trouble he has had was with
foreigners who, evidently. do not like the
color Of his skin and the curl Of his hair.
His first difficulty was with Populist
woman. who bit his thumb nearly in two
with her teeth and his next aud last
difficulty was with Mrs Scar yesterday.
He is hoping that his official duties dur
ing the remainder of his term of Office will
not incur upon him the wrath OF an Irish
woman. Ii it does be is liable to resign
for of all the women on earth he is afraid
OF it is Irish women because, as he says.
they are mighty handy with kettle OF
hot water.
Yesterday he got q very fair idea of the
terrors OF an Irish eviction. Gus Scar is
tenant on the farm OF Mrs. Elizabeth
Brown, near Cheney. He was not salts
factory to her and she sued for the posses
sion of her property and won the case.
Notwithstanding this, Scar would not
leave the property and Constable Jones
went out early yesterday morning to dis
possess him. The Scars couldn't speak
word OF English and Sam didn't under
stand = word Of German. SO he had to get
u little boy to interpret for him. When
the Sears learned of the constable's mis-
sion they positively refused to yield pos
session Of the premises. Sam made a dash
for the door to get in but Mrs. Scar was
ready to defend her castle and swiped the
constable over the head with bed
slat with such force that he has
a headache ever since. When hostilities
opened Scar fed and left his wife to de-
fend the premises Jones, after recover
ing from the shock of the blow, made for
the door second time when he was again
met by Mrs. Scer, who. in the meantime,
had picked up her child. Sam took hold
OF her to eject her, and she again resisted.
and the next thing was a scuffle in which
they all rolled in the mud. Mrs. Scar
kicked and screamed with such rage that
the whole neigh borhood was attracted to
the scene, and the constable had to return
home without cvicting Mrs. Scar. He
swore out a warrant charging her with
resisting arrest, and the probability is
that the sheriff will bring her in today to
answer that charge.

and not until next fall can those animals
again be slaughtered. Up to within two or
three weeks the season has been the best

and vicinity that fully 1000 animals have
been killed during open time. About 100
deer, moose and caribou per week have
been accounted for and there are larea
numbers killed about which no report is
received, as the carcasses are left where
