W1NSEPEG, Man, Jan. 19.-Word
has been received here that L. Dollan
of this city and aparty of nine men
persisted in an avalanche in the Rocky
mountains. Nearly all the members
of the party were from this city, but
the names are not as yet learned
1t is learned that the party left
Three Forks, b. c., a fortnight ago
for Bear Greek, near Fort Steele.
where they intended to open up a
mine. Shortly after they left one of
those heavy snow storms peculiar to
mountainous regions came on and was
followed the next day by thaw and
rain, causing snow slides in all direc-
tons. 1t would only take the party
three days ago to get to their destina-
ton and they only had provisions for
that length of time. As they have
not arrived at their destination or at
any intervening mining camp, there
is but little doubt that the whole party
has persisted in some of the mountain
passes, being overwhelmed by an ava
lanche. Dollan's relatives here have
received letter saying that there is
little chance of the men being alive.

AN EXCITING FIGHT.

Raleigh T. Wilkinson, a ranchman
living near Craig, Mon. tells an inter
esting story OF a fight between bear,
coyote, and mountain lion. The
coyote every woodsman knows. is the
greatest coward IN the animal king
dom. A cinnamon bear Will fight
when there is no escape, while noun
tain lion or catamount is always
ready for a fight when he thinks he
has the best of it.
Mr.. Wilkinson, having lost a fine
brood of ducks, and suspecting that a
coyote was responsible, set a bear trap
baited with fresh beef. Early the
next morning he was awakened by a
howl which betokened results. Know
ing the coyote, if caught. could not
get away from the heavy claws of the
bear trap, he returned to sleep. An
hour later he was awakened by a chorus
Of fierce animal voices. When he
visited the trap he found a coyote
caught fast by the shoulder. aud a
cinnamon bear had likewise been
caught, showing that both ANIMALS had
made a strike for the beef at the same
time, the coyotes hunger having
doubtless overcome his native coward
ice. Ten feet away was a magnificent
great mountain lion waiting until one
Of the fighters had killed the other
before finishing the winner.
Curiously enough, neither the bear
nor the coyote showed a disposition
TO attack the other. Each stood on
three legs, watching their common
enemy, the lion, evidently understand
ing his purpose. The air in the mean
time was filled with the mighty roar
Of their voices. Mr. Wilkinson think
ing that their cries might bring more
animals to the scene, got his rifle into
range, though determined not to inter
rupt what promised to be most ex,
citing fight.
A half hour passed before the lion
got impatient. Then he gradually
drew near the trap, measuring the dis
tance SO as to keep out of range The
frightened coyote lay flat on the
ground, with his nose in the dirt,
while the bear stood erect, with Que
paw drawn back to defend himself
The lion, snarling and splitting, ex-
changed a number of swift strokes
with the bear, then retreated and
crawled to the top of a sheep-shed
near by, There he lay crouched for
moment; then made spring, drop
ping squarely on the bear. A terrific
struggle followed The lion closed
his teeth on the bears throat and was
in turn caught in a mighty hug. The
two fell to the ground, the bear on top
with the blood pouring in a stream
over his brown hide. They rolled
from side to side, and the trap was
pulled from its stakes. Then the bear
rose on his hind legs, carrying the
lion with him. He managed to loosen
the lions hold on his throat and get a
grip on his adversary's neck. The
fight was soon over The lions eyes
rolled outward, his head dropped, and
be was strangled to death.
The bear was not much better off
He staggered like a drunken man,
bleeding from many wounds. He still
had life enough to look after the coy
ote, which was nearly frightened TO
death. He made two strokes at the
coward of the plains and crushed the
life out of him. Then the bear stag
gered to the sheep shed and rolled
over dead

HE Milwaukee Sentinel of Wednesday
had very inuere sting article on pur-
chases OF land made by Mr.. Abbott OF
Milwaukee with a view to securing the
entrance of the Wisconsin Central into
that city. The property purchased was
IN the name of George B. Bracket a con-
idential clerk of Mr.. Abbott
What is interesting to Manitowoc peo-
pie IN this connection is that the King
holz farm and other property purchased
III the neighborhood Of this city within
Che last year, are held in the name Of
George L. Bracket. The question patur-
ally arises Is Mr.. Abbott interested IN the
purchase made? If so is 1t IN behalf of
the Wisconsin Central? There is moth
ing which would please the people of
ManitOwoc more than to have connection
with this road. 1t is among the posi-
bilities of the near future.

TYNDALL'S FIRST LECTURE BE
FORE A SCIENTIFIC AUDIENCE.

Now that SO many stories about Tvn-
dali are filling the papers, II cOntribu-
tor to the Critic is surprised not to
read one anecdote which was of pecu-
liar Importance in his career, and the
particulars of which reach the writer
from the best possible source. About
forty years ago the late DR.. Bence
Jones was the leader of all the scien-
tltic organizations in England. To
him came one day from Germany a
letter cOuched by Prof Dubois Ray
mond in something like these terms:
You English are the oldest people.
Here, to our Laboratories. comes every
year young Irish schoolmaster call
ed Iyndall, with the quickest brain,
the most honest capacity for research
L have ever seen. Would that our
German youths were run from the
same mold. This brilliant young fell
low has never received the smallest
recognition or encouragement from
English institutions or from the scien-
tltic men Of England, and he tells me
to-day that, quite disheartened at last,
he IS preparing to emigrate to Ameri-
ca"
DR.. Bence Jones was not the man to
listen to such an appeal in vain Tyn-
dali was crossing London in prepare
ton for going over the Atlantic.
Bence Jones wayliid him, and instant
ly fell under the spell of his copious
and genial talent and determined to
make" him. After few converse
tons Jones said: Il will not take
any middle course. / think you can
leap to the top at once [ shall an
nounce that you will lecture at the
Royal institution" The announce
ment was made, and all London troop
ed to hear Bence Jones wild freshman.
As the great physician drove his pro-
tege down to Albemarle street he sud
denly exclaimed:
But, Tyndall, where are your notes7''
'Notes?" was the reply. L haven't |
any notes"
No notes" Bence Jones roioined |
IN an agony. NO notes, Do You
realize that you are not going to ad- |
dress parcel of Irish gossoons. but
an audience of famous experts on your J
own subject?''
Tyndall grinned We'll, I'm afraid
it's too late now" be said, and Bence
Jones sank back in his carriage prey
to the acutest despair.
The hall was crowded. All the
leaders of science We're present. Tyn-
dali, who had never lectured before,
stepped into the famous semi-circular
tribune, smiled, bowed and poured
fourth the results of his marvellous
without faltering or paus-
ng. He closed his address in the
midst of an ovation. He had become
n single night the most accomplish
ID lecturer of the age.

MACKAY'S CHRISTOPHER.

The Million: John Mackay, the
mining millionaire, has in his employ
at Carson, New. an expert named
Maurice Hoefich, who always offers
to back his opinion by betting. This
annoyed Mr.. Mackay, who does not
like to be disputed, and is further
fretted by the fact that Hoetiich us
ually proves right. One day Hoe
fitch was playing with an enormous
grasshopper. 1t could jump over
twenty feet, and he said:
'I'll pet you $50 Mr.. Mackay, dot
you can't find hopper to peat him."
Mackay sent trusted emissary
down to Carson valley to secure con
testant. The man spent nearly week
catching hoppers, and reported that
the best gait any of them made was
seventeen feet. He doubted if big
ger jumper could be found anywhere.
The next day he arrived with about
dozen hoppers, and Mackay gave them
quarters in his rooms as Vanderbilt
would stable his stud. Each had
cigar box to himself. and every morn
ing they We're taken out and put
through their PAGES. 1t was impos
slble, however, to get one to jump
over eighteen feet. Mackay was in
despair; but one morning a hopper
shifted at bottle of ammonia on the
table, and immediately jumped thirty
feet.
Next day Mackay announced to
Hoefich that he was ready for the
match. The expert came al hour be
fore the time with his pet hopper. Not
finding Mackay in, he noticed the
bottle of ammonia. A light broke up
on him. Grabbing the bottle, herush
ed to a drug store, threw away the
ammonia, and ordered it filled with
chloroform. Mackay soon arrived
with a half dozen mining superinten-
dents, whom he invited to see him
have some fun with Hoefich. They |
were hardly seated when Hoefich |
came in with the hopper in cigar
box under his arm.
Il vas a leetle late, Mr.. Mackay. but |
I'm here NIT der hopper and der coin"
He laid down the money, which was
covered promptly. Mackay got be-
hind somebody and let his hopper
sniff ofthe ammonia bottle, which held
Hoetich's chloroform. Time being
called, the hoppers We're placed side
by side on the piazza, and at the word
Go each one was touched on the
back with a straw. Hoefich's entry
scored twenty-four feet Mackay's
gave lazy lurch of some four inches,
and folding his legs, fell fast asleep.

RECENT DISCOVERIES

Although many new and important dis

sciences, there is probably none of greater
Importance to the people than the one re-
Gently made by Dr.. Shoop, which is attract
