Bruin Got the Honey.

In California the bees frequently,
on swarning take TO the woods. Hol-
low trees are favorite homes for them.
Now, among tho tall redwoods that
skirtod tho margin OF the mountain
stream, two or three bee trees we're
found. IL was settled that ono OF
these hives should he taken up. The
bolo of tho tree was moro than -four
feet in diameter. At about sixty feet
from the ground the bees had found o
knotholo and hollow space. IL was
judged by tho coming and going oi
tho bees that there must be large
stock of honey. AS the tree was
wanted for timber, and had begun to
die Mt the top, it was determined to
turn IL to account for both honey and
lumber. On bright moonlight night
the raucllmen began on that tree. In
about two hours il came down with %
crash A swarm of mad bees boiled
out of the knothole. II was evident
that nothing more could bo done that
night. II was planned on the next
night to go with the usual appliances
of sulphur, silence tho bees, and take
| up the honey.
| When the tree was reached IL was
certain that an enemy had boon there.
The enemy was evidently n bear, and
had managed to enlarge tho knotholo
so that he could thrust his paw in.
He had fished out great quantities OF
comb, aud had broken the nest up SO
that it was not worth carrying away.
| There was dribble of sweets oil over
| the trunk OF the tree, and the ground
| itself seemed to he saturated with
honey. The ranchmen we're hot for
revenge. They would have that bear
if they had to hunt n month for him,
they said. Then they asked thom-
selves, who wants to watch two or
three nights for grizzly and no one
was willing to undertake the task.
There was much broken comb left in
tue hollow trunk. If the bear came
again he would thrust his paw into tho
same hole, they reasoned. There was
coyote steel trap that would serve
admirably. The ranchmen cut o
large hole on tho opposite side and
pushed tho trap well into the cavity
opposite the original knothole. A lot
of broken comb wae laid over the
trap, aud the chain was spiked to the
trunk. Now, IL the bear should thrust
his paw again into the same hole for
honey. his thieving paw would be
caught in tho trap. He could moi
draw the trep through the hole. II
was dead open-and-shut game. Two
nights afterward the old ranch dog sci
, up an unusual bowling. The men, OIL
. going to the bee tree, found an enorm
, ous grizzly hard and fast. Two ol
three rifle balls finished him.

Marshal Hughes was greatly enraged,
and at o'clock yesterday morning he
and fourteen other men went to Trice's
house to regulate the negro's little boy.
The whites demanded that the boy be
sent out. Trice refused and the whites
began firing: Trice returned the fire,
his first ball killing Marshal Hughes.
Edward Sanchez tried to burn the
house but was shot through the brain,
by Trice. Then the whites tried to
batter in the door with log, which.
resulted in Henry Daniels getting q,

him. The regulators then ran, q final.

to bring before the court any person
disobeying these instructions, to be
punished for contempt. Consequently

by half-dozen- or more sOfficers when
the jury came in, and went out under
their protection, although there was
no demonstration to indicate q neces-

In long interview jackson admits
his surprise over the verdict, and he
claims that he had proved an alibi. He
still maintains his innocence, and says
that Walling killed Pearl Bryan. The
prisoner is greatly depressed over the
verdict, and in his interview could not

satisfaction. He still maintains that
