Beaumont, Texas, May 3.-Judge
Lynch has cut short the career of VIII
Bendy. Excitement was intense
throughout the southern part OF Jasper
county. Last evening the report came
in that a strong posse had Bendy sur
rounded in a thicket about half mile
from Buena and that he was almost
sure to be captured. This morning
early a message was received that Ben
dy had left the thicket and sought ref
uge in the home of his brother-in-l law,
and the determined party found him.
He was not quick enough in yielding,
when a shot rang out that brought him
to his senses. This was at O'Clock
this morning. The shot wounded him
and he began running. When about so
yards away he gave in and was led to
a suitable tree and swung up. Through
the still air rang out the shots of 80
cool and determined men who had
taken the law in their hands. His body
was riddled with bullets and he was
left hanging. Constable Ribbe, z. F..
Rome and Foxy Wall, the last two col
ored. are still alive. Philip Hainer was
inferred to-day.

in this way a very large amount was
secured.

LIFE In THE ANIMAL WORLD.
Wolves Scarce Now In Maine and in the
Adirondacks.

Wolves Scarce Now In Maine and In the
Adirondacxs.
From the New York Sun.
There was only one bounty paid for
wolf killing in Main in 1885, This wolf
was killed at Andover and was the
first killed in Maine for many years,
and will probably be the last for some
years to come. There was time when
Maine wolves went deer hunting in
packs, and many a living man has seen
the hunted deer plunge into the water
of a stream or a lake OF that state TO
escape the bloodthirsty brutes trailing
after.
Thirty years ago no sound was more
common in the deep Adirondack woods
at night than the long howl of wolf,
and in the early darkness many camp
ers have listened to the call note of the
leader wolf assembling his robber band
for a race after deer. The wolves were
plenty, but in the early seventies
bounty law was passed and all of a
sudden the wolves were gone. They
were not killed, for only a few bounties
were paid. They simply dropped out of
sight and hearing.
When il was reported last summer
that a wolf had been killed on Webb's
game preserve the story excited gen.
eral disbelief, as it had been years
since a wolf had been reported by
I ITuSINOIluy pal LUZ q 49,
killed all right enough, for Mr.. Webb
himself said so. Then, of course,
Where in thunderation did he come
FROM" was the emphatic inquiry NO
body knows. He was first heard howl
ing for several nights, then at dusk
one day he was seen drinking from
lake, and a bullet ended him. Previous
to this some woodsmen in Northern
Herkimer county had reported that
they had heard wolves in the Moose
River region recently, and since there
have been like reports. 1t Is not I'M
probable that there are half dozen or
even a score of wolves in the Adiron-
dacks now. If there are, they have
learned the proverb that silence is
golden" or at amy rate hunt and howl
only in the utmost depths where men
seldom venture.
The wolf is naturally an exceedingly
shy and crafty animal and much hard
err to trap than a fox. A few wolves
would find sustenance in the swamps
and on the ridges of the denser New
York forests, where great northern
hares are thicker than sparrows and
deer as plentiful as blooded dogs in
city.
Kentucky thinks wolves, wildcats
and the two varieties of foxes are get
ting altogether too plentiful in that
state. A bill introduced into the legis-
lature not long ago provides for a
| bounty of IS on the wolves and IL eacn
on the other animals.

fshed, Dr. bacon Among Them.
Denver. May "A special to the
News from Cripple Creek, Col, says:
1t is feared that the loss of life from
the last fire here will be greater than
was supposed. and it is likely that a
search of the ruins of the old Port
land hotel will disclose the burned re-
mains of two, and possibly more peo-
pie. Inquiries started here to-day de-
veloped the fact that shoe drummer
from Cincinnati, supposed to represent
the Standard Shoe company of that
city, was occupying room IA in the ILL.,
fated hotel A woman, who occupied
room 10. adjoining this room, reports
that about half an hour before the fire
started. she heard some one fumbHng
with the lock of the adjoining room
and, looking out, saw a man, apparent
ly under the influence of liquor, enter
ing the room. She did not hear him go
out before the alarm was given, and
1t is supposed that he went to asleep
and persisted in the flames. To-day a
woman residing ON the hill reported
that during the fire two big travelling
mans cases, marked IS. S. company,

Portland and left in her care.
The reports that DIR. Bacon had
been seen in Gillette and also in Colo
RADIO Springs have not been verified,
