Uses. At first he was suspicious of the
two detectives, thinking they might
be mere robbers, but Griffin finally got
the excited man to understand who
they were, and dropping his gun, he
allowed the detectives to enter the
house to investigate. Just as the Off
GERS went in, there was a lively COM
motion and rattle of tinware on the
back porch, and the owner grabbed his
gun, yelled, There they are again."

into the can, which overturned.
East Oregonian: A Pendleton lady,

dog fancier in this section. In speak

She exclaimed enthusiastically In
staccato voice of convictions: MY

one-quarter Cocker spaniel and four
quarters English spaniel" The roar of
laughter that followed would Have
drowned the loudest bark of that more

Chelan, Wash, Leader: While out
hunting the other day Charley Woodin
made a peculiar find. He was chasing
a wounded deer in the mountains in
the vicinity of Safety harbor, when he
saw what looked to be section of gas
pipe sticking up out of the snow. On
investigation, however, it proved to be
the right barrel of an old style, 10
guage, muzzle-loading shotgun, that
looked as though 1t had been wrenched
from the other barrel and twisted and
bent by the teeth of some wild animal.
Mr.. Woodin intends to go back to the
spot as soon as the snow is gone to see
IL he cannot find other pieces of the
gun, and other evidences of a struggle
If there was one. How IL got there.
or how long, or whether any one lost
his life at that spot-are all mysteries
that may never be solved. as the style
of gun has been out of date for many
years, and no one in this community
has ever heard of any one losing such
a weapon in the mountains.

rest, ran back 10 wnere 1 nad cropped
the AK, and, picking it up, advanced to
my rescue.
1t was a mad thing to do, there is no
doubt about that; but Phil did it-and
without thought of his own danger.
1t was In vain that Blinkers calledto him
to go back; he did not seem to hear, but
kept coming on slowly, with his eyes
fixed on the bear, and the AK held in
readiness to strike.
The bear dropped my arm and adj
vanced step, standing across my body,
growing and turning up her lips until
all her great white teeth were exposed;
but still Phil came on. At six feet dis
lance he stopped. The bear took step
forward, and then another, and then,
with all the strength of his body doubled
by the intense excitement of the mo-
ment, Phil struck at her with such force
and precision that he split her skull
clean in two.
But, even in dying, the bear sue
ceeded in doing some mischief.
With a last convulsive effort she
struck out, and, with her great claws,
tore away the front of Pills coat, vest
and shirt, and made three deep cuts all
across his chest from the left shoulder
downward. Another inch
and Phil must certainly have been
killed. As it was, he stood for moment
swaying to and fro, and then fell for

AT GRAY GABLES.
President Cleveland Makes Many
improvements at His Home.
Kindness Extended to a Lone oysterman
squstting Upon His Domains-Seat
of Government to BE Cape
Cod This Summer.

When Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Gray
Gables with her children to spend the
summer there she found that in the
winter many changes and improve
mentS had been made about the eX-
tensiYe property. \ heavy storm last
winter tore a great hole in the sea wall
that protects the house and its imme-
date grounds, and this has been re-
placed by a stronger and more hand
rome embankment OF stone.
The big lily pond had been empticd
and cleaned and then reflled. There
are now growing aquatic plants of the
rarest and most beautiful kinds. Mrs.
Cleveland is especially fond of the water
lilies, and the president had this pond
made year or two ago for her benefit.
On the shore of the Monument river
side of the estate there is an oyster
mans cabin, the only building on the
100-acre tract that the president does
not own. The oysterman built his
cabin before Mr.. Cleveland bought the
property, and it is said that the presi-
dent did not know it was there for two
or three years. One day he was walk
ing along the river bank and saw the
cabin and the oysterman. Mr.. Cleve-
land asked him what he was doing
there, and the humble oysterman eX.
planned that he had been allowed to
,euild his cabin on the spot where it
stood by the former owner of the land.
He had no lease or other legal right
on the premises, but he modestly en-
planned that it was a good location
for his business, and asked that he
might be allowed to remain, promising
that he would never make his presence
known to the occupants of the great
house, some distance away.
The president told the FISHERMAN he
might remain there as long as he
wished, and there would be no rent to
pay. This man is the only one allowed
to trespass on the place.
Daddy" Brunn has caught the first
bluefsh of the season. He is the local
fish prophet, and he says the season
Is going to be an extraordinary one for
large catches. The bass in the inland
ponds are biting well, and on the sea
lodges there'is already some good sport.
1t is said in Marion that Secretary
Carlisle has taken a cottage in that
place for the summer. This seems quite
probable, as the president will want
his financial adviser handy. With Sec
rotary Olney in Falmouth, Private Sec
rotary Thurber in Marion and probably
Secretary LaAont near by, the seat of
government will be Cape Cod instead
Washington this summer.

PHIL KEPT COMING ON SLOWLY.
ers, quite forgetting that he was the
general of the little expeditionary
force, made such use of his long legs
that he was safely up a tree before any
of the rest of us had reached one.
AS for me, never reached one at all:
In turning to run, tripped over the
AK, and though was up again in an in
slant, the check made me the last Of
the fugitives.
The chase was very soon over. In six
jumps, as it seemed, the great beast
caught me, and, with one blow of her
paw on the middle of my back, sent me,
face downward, to the ground, with
every atom of breath driven out of my
body.
This last circumstance was a good
thing for me; could not have moved a
muscle if had wished to. Consequent
ly the bear supposed that 1 was dead,
and instead of tearing me up into small
pieces, as expected, she began shifting
me all over and turning me about with
her claws.
Suddenly, however, she ceased and be-
gan to growl, and heard Blinkers up in
his tree call out: go back! You can't
do any good. You'll only get yourself
killed, tool" From which concluded
that Blinkers and the bear had one
thought in commonj they both sup
posed me to be dead.
I was beginning to recover my breath
q little by this time, and in my anxiety
to see what was going forward, made
a slight movement with one arm, and
In an instant the bear had that arm be

facilities they had for doing the work!
The structure was put up about 1853
and has remained in constant use ever
since. 1t is true the stages do not cross
it now, but foot passengers and smaller
vehicles use it regularly. The only
effect of its long years of service is a
slight swag, at the northern end.
The redwood trees OF which the bridge
was built were hauled from the forest
about Is miles away. How they were
placed in position is something past find
ing out, as there is nobody living in the
locality that remembers when the
bridge was put up. And, indeed, it
looks as if the job would puzzle an en-
gineer of to-day, even though he were
given the use of all modern appliances,
which the others did not have.
In all there are 70 upright supports
in the bridge, and they must have been
stood on end. entirely by the use of
ropes, pulleys and muscle. Those in
the center of the bridge are the highest
and the others get shorter and shorter
as they climb the bank ON either side.
Very few braces are used, so that the
bridge presents the appearance of a
series of straight poles reaching across
the ravine.
The country in this vicinity is pic
turesque and wild, and the bridge does
not look the least bit out of place. In
fact, it rather blends into the land
scape. 1t does not present a very
beautiful appearance nor does it look
grotesque.

A NEW "STRONG Box"
Steel Vaults for Silver at New York Sub
Treasury Almost Completed.


Work on the new steel vault for the
storage of silver coin in the basement
of the United States subtreasury in
Wall street is progressing rapidly, and
the contractor expects to have it ready
for use in about two weeks. There are
now 100000 silver dollars and more
than S5,0OO,OOO in subsidiary silver coin
stored in the subtreasury basement,
and the necessity for additional vault
room has of late become pressing.
The new vault is a box IL feet square
and ten feet high, made of steel plates
two inches thick. 1t is firmly set in
the corridor adjoining the old steel
vault, and it will hold about Sc, O0O, 900
in silver COIN Inasmuch as there is
comparatively little silver coinage 60
ing on in this country at present, it is
not expected that the new vault will fill
up very rapidly.
The silver dollars that are now in
storage, however, are likely to remain
there indefinitely. The experience of
many years has proved that it is impos-
sible to keep them in circulation. From
time to time few thousand dollars are
withdrawn by private persons for some
specific reason, but they soon find their
way back into the subtreasury vaults.
Even the banks which have strong and
capacious vaults of their own are ayerso
to giving storage room to the cart.

1t was in September-and the Col,

Phil as brown of face and stout of limb

pills, made an excursion into the range

Franz Czouka, who has just been ex-
eeuted at Essegg. in Hungary, was a
remarkable criminal. He belonged to
the Rosa Sanders band, which was re,
garded as romantic heroes by the COM

and he had judges and magistrates in
his pay. He was the best horseman in
Hungary and managed many bands of
brigands whose work never conficted.
Twenty-Five years ago he and Czouka
were captured ard charged with many
murders and robberies. Czouka said he
was willing to confess to the murders
and robberies were too trifling to talk
about. He was given 20 years. The
leader was sentenced for life and died
