Hunters after big game are out in force
about Hot Springs after a bear which
nearly frightened two ladies to deatha few
days since. Mrs. Young of DeadwO0d,
and Mrs. Caldwell of Chicago, were out
driving a few miles from Hot Springs
when a hug bear was seen trottlng down
the road toward them. The ladies were
badly frightened, but succeeded in turning
their horse around and racing back 'G
town. They say that cid bruin made a
hard run after them, but he was TOO heavy
TO be successful. Last winter the tracks

by these ladies' is the first one TO show him

Carroll Gets . Match With the Califo..
The visit of D. H. Carroll. the
Canadian wrestler. to Rock Island
has resulted in prospects for an i'm
portant match here. The manage
ment of Harper's theatre Saturday
afternoon forwarded a telegram to
Dan Mcleod. at Chicago. offering a
purse of $500 for match between
himself and Carroll next Saturday
evening. The Californian accepted,
and the admirers of scientific wrest-
ling may anticipate an interesting
match. Mcleod is the husky Cali
fornia champion who has been crow
ing through the newspapers of his
inability to arrange a contest for
catch-as-catch-can honors with Far
mer" Burns, who now enjoys the dis
tinction of holding the worlds cham
pionship. Carroll and Mcleod are
not very evenly mated in height and
weight. but scientifically they are
both top-notchers, and the favorite
style of each being employed in the
contest insures a hard-fought battle.
Carroll In Good Condition.
Carroll says he would not care to
be in better condition than at the
present \ time. He will wrestle a,

feet 2 inches. In trim Mcleod tips
