have been kind to You, and now
want to tell you what / am goin to do.
I'm goin to maui You.
And he did maui him. He snatched
the mountain man out of the wagon and
walloped him in the road. And during
the performance the bear sat in the
wagon and looked ON with an indiffer-
ence complete in every detail The
mountain man climbed back to his seat
as soon as Steve granted him that priv
ilege, and gathering up his hickory said 1:
After all, | reckon you know yo'
own mind best-don t reckon you real
ly do want to buy bar. Goodby,
sahl"
Evening came, and strangers who had
heard that desperate man would wres-
tie with a ferocious bear gathered at the
place of encounter.
Now. gentlemen, said Steve, the
time has come for me to show you what
white man can do. All my folks were
not one of them was ever whipped
Some hunters have just brought in Il
monstrous bar from down in the bot
toms, and all that want to see me fight
him just pay 25 cents and come ahead.
A number OF men paid their money
and followed him into the back lot.
Those who were acquainted with the
indolent habits of the bear said moth
ing, partly through fear of incurring
the enmity of old Steve, but mainly to
foster laugh at the expense of the gul-
lible 'tenderfeet.
Steve conducted the spectators to the
tree where the bear was chained. The
brown of evening, making a mystery of
the huge black mass of animal life and
hiding the patches on his coat, pro-
claimed him savage monster.
Gentlemen, said Steve, 'befo'
go into this here fight want to tell you
that | don't deserve no sympathy, for
I've brought it on myself. Here goes!"
He made lunge at the bear. The
monster threw himself in an upright
position against the tree and caught
Steve in his arms. For moment there
was silence, and then loud yell split
the stiffness of the deepening twilight.
The bear boxed Steve, he hugged him
time and time again and then appeared
to be biting him.
Take him away! He's killing mel"
the gladiator cried. Two men seized
Steve's legs and drew him beyond the
bears reach, and the monster-and in
deed he was one w-stretched his
chain in the effort to renew the engage
ment. Steve was taken into the house.
He was covered with blood, and it was
evident that number of his ribs were
broken.
Have you anything to sayP" some
one asked. 1T may be probable that
you can't talk after awhile.
''All I've got to say is this, Steve
groaned. II wish l hadn't got so in
termate with that blamed bar
Several men went out with lantern
to look at the victor. They found moth
ing but a chain under the tree, but
down farther, in a fence corner, they
found worn and flea bitten bear asleep.
Had they continued their search, how
ever, they might have found down the
road mountain man helping his bear
into a wagon, and they might possibly
have learned that the mountain man,
for purposes peculiarly his own, had
liberated the lazy bruin and had tenn
porarily chained his own bear to the
tree. Exchange.

HAGAN INVESTIGATION.
THE HEARING RESUMED BY THE
SUPERVISORS.
Points Of the Testimony DIR. Hagan
ON the stand for Three Hours,
and Comes oat I'm
scathed-

The Hagan investigation WAS resumed
by the board Of supervisors yesterday,
after postponement of one week.
The witnesses examined we're for the
defense, and their testimony went con
eiderably to show that the county hos.
<pital il excellently conducted.
Dr.. Hagen, the superintendent of the
institution, was placed on the stand and
piosely examined for three hours. HG
zpassed through the ordeal very credit
ably and empheticaily refuted the vari
ous charges brought against him.
DR.. Waldo M. York, who has previ-
ouHly acted as attorney Tor DR.. Hagar,
WAS absent and in his absence MIR. James
fMcLachlan acted in that capacity.
Charles Nelson, an inmate OF the hos
<pital, was the first witness examined.
'He had been in the hospital for some
time past, suffering from infiammatory
n srheumatism. He testified in favor oil
the management of the institution and
thought that the food and service were
both very good. He had seen the man
Gorman take away from the hospital
clothes that did not belong to him, and
leave by the back door.
John r. Jones, the nurse, was recalled
and, in reference to the girl Mary, de-
MED that he Was ever unduiy intimate
with her.
G. N. Ferry, the French cook. testified
that cooking in hospital WAS not the
rleasantest job in the world, and that
patients in many instances were chronic
kickers The food furnished him was oi
good quality, and, so far as possible,
was served in good condition.
Ferry said that more fruit and better
meGls were served than the average
boarding table presents.S The meats
were sweet and wholesome; was always
rst-class, and if it had not been il
woald have been promptly returned to
the butcher.
On cross-exnminstion District Attor-
ney Dillon endeavored to show that the
private table was served with fine fruits
and delicacies, and that the doctors
n lived high, but dropped this line when
it came out that the most of the good
things were purchased by them for
their own use. 1t was endeavored to
show that meat had been taken away
from the hospital by the steward, but
this developed nothing beyond the fact
that the steward was being helped by
the board of supervisors and that after
he received his first months wages, he
got no more meat.
Close questioning failed to develop
any new facts. The only time he saw
Clark was when he subscribed for his
paper. 1t was evident that in the pur.
suit for evidence the Kings Daughters
had not given the kitchen close atten'
ton. as the cook met every accusation
which had been made against the man
agement of his department.
William Morning was then called and
told of the good treatment he had re-
ceived at the hospital.
DR.. Hagan was called in his own de
tense, and gave an outline OF his qualiti
cations as physician. He also told o
the methods pursued by him in the man
agement of the hospital. He made {
dignifsd and specific denial of all ths
charges made against him.
His manner on the stand was earnest
dignified and convincing.
The examination will be continued
this morning at 10 O'Clock.

Don't Blame the Girls.

There has been deal of worrying
about the fact that the young women
of this country prefer single to married
life, but perhaps the dear girls are not
SO much to blame after all There are
B, 900. 900 men over 80 years of age in the
United States who have never married,
and, as man proposes, the preference OF
so many men for bachelor life has much
to do with the number of single women.
