How a Yellowstone Bear Fooled
 a Hunter.
TWAS A CASE OF PRESTO, CHANGE!

First He Saw a Bear, Then a Man, Floating
 Down the Stream In a Boat-An Amusing
 and Amazing Mystery That Was Easily
 Solved.
 An old trapper was recently telling of some of his earliest experiences in the Vel lowstone region of the upper Missouri and said in the course of his conversations
 1T think the most amusing and at ono stage of the occurrence the most mysterious experience I ever had occurred away back in the early days while Bill Redwood was working with me in the far northwest.
 We had taken a number of skins dur. ing the winter, and were preparing to make trip down the river as spring came on, when we decided one morning to go out and kill bear which had been prowl- ingaround our camp. The snealling brute, however was hard to find, and we looked for him for two days unsuccessfully. The third day I took our side of the river and Bill went across in the skiff to go up the other side of the stream.
 Every few minutes would come back to the banks of the stream to see if could see or hear anything of Bill or the bear and then I would go back and continue my hunt on my side of tho stream. Pres ently, on coming back to the river, I was amazed to sec tho skiff out in the middle of the river drifting down stream, while in the center of tho little boat sat upright upon his launches villainous looking black bear. He was several hundred yards above me, and as the current set in toward my shore I stood still and waited, knowing he was coming nearer to me all the time
 ''I will confess, however, that stared in open mouthed wonder at a bear coming down the river in a skiff and apparently enjoying his excursion. kept trying to solve the mystery. How did he get therea

4 BLOODY BATTLE
BETWEEN REGULARS AND STRlKERS-TWO
 KILLED, SIX WOUNDED.

BETWEEN REGULARS AND sTRIKERs-Two
 KILLED, SIX WOUNDED.
 SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 13.-A bloody battle occurred at Il o'clock this morning between strikers and regulars. As far as can be ascertained two strikers wore killed and six wounded. Shortly before Il o'clock Division Superintendent Wright ordered an engine and two flat cars to clear the track along Front street contiguous to the head quarters of the strikers. Fearing an at- tempt would be made to shoot the engineer and fireman a company of regulars under command of Captain Roberts was ordered to accompany the train. AS the train reached street number of strikers, who were concealed in the vicinity, opened fire on the engine. The regulars returned the fire and two strikers were killed and six others were wounded. None of the sol diers were injured.
 The firing attracted hundreds of angry firemen to the scene, and it was with diff ficulty they were persuaded by cooler beads not to attack the soldiers. United States , Marshal Baldwin frantically raised his hand and ordered the crowds to disperse. He called upon them in the name of the United States to return to their homes and prevent further bloodshed

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL

SlA NUN lhO IN JAIL
 WAS THE FINE IMPOSED UPON F. w..
 PHELAN AT CINCINNATI.
 CINCINNATI, July 13.-Judge w. R. Taft of the United States court deI1Vered his decision today on the case of F. W. Phelan, charged with contempt Of court ln impeding and obstructing the receiver Of the Cincinnati Southern road, appointed by the court in the management and opera tion of his road, by directing and netting the employees to leave his employ, and by interfering with the business of other roads with which the Southern road has business.
 The court room was crowded and large numbers were in the corridors. Many deputy marshals were in and about tue court room, but their presence was not needed, as the utmost decorum was oo- served. The decision was very long, re- quiriDg full hour to read. The judge reviewed at great length the testimony, which he declared showed unmlstakably that Phelan came here as the agent of and co-worker with Debs to insti' tute and direct boycott determined on by the convention of the American Hallway union to force the railroads to break thelr contracts with the Pullman company i'll or der to com pei the latter company to treat with it's employees, who, it appears, are not eligible to membership in the American Railway union. Phelan's denial of per sonal agency had no weight with the court, owing to the evasive and hippant character OI ms LGSLlI1ODY duu lu0 tOAOSiohio P"oS'H6 between him and Debs, as well as his puo- lie utterances. He knew the Cincinnati Southern road was in the hands of re- ceiver, and yet his first efforts were d. rected against It.
 The court found that he was the active agent here in an unlawful conspiracy with Debs and others 10 paralyze the business or the United States, or in other Words' to starve the nation in order to force an em- ployer to terms. Applying the law as to the facts, the court held that to undertake | to force break of contracts was an un- lawfu conspiracy. Moreover the whole plan was a boycott, which had been de- clared by all the states, except Minnesota, to be unlawful. l he court plainly recognized the right of laborers to unite and even to combine their unions and appoint leaders for the purpose of obtaining a better price for their labor. They were warranted in striking, i. e., leaving their employers in a body to better their own interest, but there was no warrant in law for boycott.
 The judge having found Phelan guilty as charged, said in reference to the sentence, that it was the intention of the court to en- force obedience to its orders. To do other wise would court anarchy. The penalty for contempt, aggravated as this was by q renewal of the contempt after warning, should be sufficient to enforce compliance with the orders of the court. The sentence was confinement for six months in the Warren county jail at Lebanon, O., and the marshal was directed to immediately execute the order of the court.
