This money was placed in the Hibernia

About a year ago Moore was again de-

STONED BY FANATICS.
Two English Missionaries CHARGED BY q
Chinese Mob-0ne Shot Through
the Hand

VICTORIA, B. c., May 19-The steam
ship Altmore, arriving from the Orient to-
night, brings advices of an anti.missionary
outrage at Tai-Chau, China. Two Eng.
hsh missionaries named Ferguson and
Walker were the victims. Proceeding by
boat from Shanghai to Chenklang they
arrived at Tai-Chau on April 10. While
awaiting the return of messenger whom
they had sent with their cards and pass.
ports to the residence of the chief local
official ey were attacked by mob that
bombaided them vigorously with stones
The two missionaries finding the situa-
ton intolerable left the shelter of a cabin
and attempted to pull up the anchor and
shove their boat into the stream. their
crew having fed beyond the range OF the
missiles.
During this operation the stone.throwing
became more vigorous than ever. and q
shot was fired, the bullet passing through
Mr.. Fergusson's left hand. At last the
boat was got off, and, being rejoined by it's
crew, dropped down the stream. The boat
became again the target for cloud OF mis-
siles as it passed a narrow part of the
channel, but no serious injury was in
ficted.
An officer and ten soldiers arrived unon
the scene while the outrage was going on
but their presence had little, il any. effect
in quieting the rioters.

AS result of this suit Judge Daingerfield

the city from running any sewage on

The suit of Allen Wright for damages

ADVENTURE NEAR CHICO.
James Clair of San Leandro
Kills a Cinnamon Bear in
the Foothills.
Riddles the Enraged Beast With Bull.
lets From His Riff as 1t
Charges Upon Him.

\ CHICO CAL, May 19.-James Clair of
San Leandrc, who is visiting friends in
the mountains few miles from Chico, had
a thrilling experience with a cinnamon
bear several days ago, and he viii have a
big story to tell when he gets home. Dur
ing the present spring cold weather and
frequent storms have caused many wild
animals to seek hiding places and food
around the foothills, and quite often Gin
namon bears are seen numbering off
through the woods.
Such big game was, however, the last
thing young Clair was looking for when
he started out with rifle on the day he
met Bruin. He had shouldered the weapon
at sun up and began tramp through the
foothills. As the forenoon wore away he
resolved to return to the house of his
friend, despairing of taking home mess
of squirrel or wild fowl. Clair had lust
started on the back trail when he saw a
cinnamon bear tearing the bark from a
dead log lying on the ground about seventy
five feet away. He raised his gun and fired
the ball striking the beast in the flank
With roar of pain the cinnamon
wheeled and started toward Clair, who,
realizing that he had dangerous animal
TO contend with, commenced pumping
shells into his rife and firing. Continu-
ally roaring, the bear approached the
hunter, and when near raised its huge
body upon its launches. Clair during all
this time had stood firm as a rock, but as
the bear reared up the young man dis
covered that his last cartridge vas gone.
His nerve fled, and dropping the rifle he
began race for towellton.
On reaching camp Clair breath was too
short to tell his story directly, but in a
short time it was made known, and with
guns and dogs party started after the
bear. On reaching the spot, the animal
was found dead. On examination seven
bullet holes were found in its body and
legs. Ten empty cartridges lay on the
ing.
The bear was weighed and tipped the
scales at 440 pounds, which is the largest
that has been killed IN that section for
some time.
