A BEARS NOSE.
One Point of the Animal That Is Very
Sensitive.

One Point OF the Animal That Is Very
Sensitive.
A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one of the physical
peculiar1tics of the bear. Gen. uamil-
ton, who tells the story In his "Sport
in Southern India" was out on bear
shooting expedition with a brother
officer. The bcatcrs drove the bear
from his hiding place, and Il shot from
tho officer threw him on the ground;
but he got up with u grunt and made
of.
As the bear passed an open bit of
ground Gen. Hamilton again fired, but
missed, and the beast turned upon him.
When he was within few yards tho
general gave him the other bnrrel. AS
this did not stop him Hamilton started
to run, but tripped over rock and fell
Hat ON his face.
The boar was upon him instantly,
and the sportsman, looking over his
shoulder, saw into the bears mouth as
the brute made grab Mt him. The
animal caught him by the thigh and
pinned him. Knowing that bears
nose rs very sensitive, Hamilton hit
him several hard blows ON the nose.
The bear, unable TO endure the pain,
let go, nnd, before he could get hold
again, Hamilton was up the hill.
His companion ran up and killed the
bear by ball through his heart. But
the bears ella WI had laid open Hamil-
tons thigh to the bone, and he was In
bed for q month.

IN Guerrero the tarantula Is some
timea found there MS big as mans two
Hsts. Scorpions are of all sizes, but the
ono which docs the most harm by its
bite 10 n smnllish gray creature. The
larger ones bite SO hard TINT the blood
nows freely, and tho infected poison
flows of. There Is little snake called
tho cornllilo, which is particularly fond
Of getting indoors and nesting in ones
boots. Its bite Is fatal. Boots should
always be inspected for corallilos be-
fore they arc put on-in Guerrero. If
. scorpion crecps on the face or bands,
khe person so visited should carefully
refrain from making any movement;
no should allow the horrible insect 10
crawl just where 1t will. If it is not
disturbed, In all likelihood 1t will do no
harm; II 1t Is attacked II is quite sure TO
sting.
Tho worst terror to the people OF
Guerrero, snys the Boston Herald, Is
neither snakes nor scorpions, but the
red ants Before these insects the pco-
pie hee In terror from their houses.
They leave nothing behind " they can
help IL. An Indian woman rushed out
Of her cabin with her children on tho
coming of the ants being announced.
In her terror she left her baby behind
tho house swinging in hammock. 1t
was hoped that 1t would escape, but
when the ants had departed the mother
found that the insects had crcpt down
tho cords Of the hammock, and had
left OF the unfortunate child nothing
bat It's bones. On some OF the Guerrero
sugar estates great, lnzy-looking snakes
arc kept In the storerooms to keep
rats and mice away from the sugar
loaves- These snakes are repulsive In
appearance, but harmless to human
beings. Not all the places In Mexico,
however, which have an agreeable
climate nre cursed with insects md
reptilinn pests. Such places rs Cuer-

high above the hot plains to suffer
from vcnomous insects, and yet SO

QUITE A LITTLE SCRAP
The City and the Water Company En-
ter The Lists.
RUSTLING FOR LEGAL LORE
There is a Growing Sentiment In
Favor of the City Owning Its
Own Water Plant From
This On.

GREAT FALLS. Jan. IA few DAYS ago
the attorneys for the water company ap-
Piled for an injunction restraining the
city from putting into force an ordinance
winch authorized the treasurer to transfer
from the water to the general fund all
moneys III excess of SS,445, which is the
amount OF The semi-annual hydrant
rental. Judge Benton issued tenn
porary restraining order returable in 10
Gays, as already mentioned in the STAND
ARD. The 10 days will expire Saturday
next, during which time the city attorney
will have to make an answer.
II anybody thinks the city will not fight
the injunction he will be sadly mistaken.
1t promises to be quite legal battle, and
which ever way 1t is decided it will be
carried to the supreme court.
Several prominent citizens met with the
menbers OF the city council yesterday
afternoon and discussed the matter in all
It's phases, and the result was that the
aldermen present agreed to favor mo-
ton empowering the city attorney to en-
gage counsel to assist him in the case.
The council held a special meeting to-dav
and voted unanimously to engage A. ].
Shores and l. p. Veazey, two of the lead.
ing lawyers of this city, TO assist the CITY
attorney.
There are rumors afioat that the law
yers Tor the city will go higher up, or in
other words, test the validity of the water
company's franchise before they get
through. If such proves to be their inten-
tons the case is liable to develop into a
big legal fight that will furnish some
mighty interesting reading. 1t is under
stood that the water company has en-
gagged well known fir m of Helena law
yers to assist its local attorneys.
Public sentiment was n ever so favor
able to the project of the city owning its
own water works as right now. Leading
taxpayers make no bones about declaring |
themselves in favor of it, especially since |
the filing of this injunction suit by the |
water company.

Mctherson opened it. A man spraug at
his throat and struck him in the face
twice with pair of brass knuckles. Nc
fherson's cries for help brought J. b.
Larzelere to bis assistance. They were
unable to break the mans hold and adj
uItlonal help was summoned. Four men
managed to release Mcpherson. In the
struggle n black wig worn by the assailant
came oil, and he was recognized as ex-
Senator Newell. He was taken to the
police station, where he presented letters
from prominent politicians of his state,
giving his name.
Several years ago, Mr.. Newell said, Nc
Pherson was befriended by him and taken
TO his home, where he introduced him to
his wife. He suspected nothing until Nc
Pherson left the state. when Mrs. Newell
became decidedly cool toward her hus-
band. He found some very loving letters,
sent to his wife, as he alleges, by McPher-
son, and shortly after she left for the
East. The letters we're dated at Norris
town. Pittsburg, Philadelphia and VIII
inington. He showed them TO the chief
of police.
On securing these letters Newell came
nero, distance of 1900 miles, to whip the

the station house until . o'clock. when he
was discharged, Mcpherson failing to ap-
