It. M. Roberts Loss Particularly
Serious I'm Christmas Season.

The loss resulting from the fire in the
store of T. M Roberts. 717-19 Nicollet ave-
nue. yesterday morning, proved greater than
was first anticipated. Before the flames were
finally extinguished, the element had wrought
havoc with the greater portion OF the contents
of the store, and seriously damaged the
building, it's work of destruction totalizing
sec, 600.
The developments of yesterday did not
serve to shed any further light on the origin
Of the flames, except, perhaps, to confirm
the owners and officials in the belief that II
was due to an electric WIRE General Man
ager Knight. of the company, stated yester-
day that the loss would be a severe one, but
greatly increased by the inconvenience met
with at this particular season. He comment
ed on the work of the department, which was
viewed generally with satisfaction, their
promptness and judgment preventing much
greater destruction.
The building which was completed about q
year ago, was one of the most substantial
business blocks along the avenue. Mr..
Knight believed the loss on the structure
would amount to $1,000 but Fire Marshal
Pierce did not think it would exceed $4,000.
1t is owned by R. c. Haywood, and is covered
by insurance.
The stock Of groceries and furniture on
the third floor was destroyed by the flames,
and 1t is believed the loss by water to the
stock on the lower floors was equal to that
of the fire.

LIKE TO HUNT BEARS.
Kodiak Indians Have No Fear Of
Grizzlies.
+ FIR ANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. Al.
Barring, who is identified with the sal
mon industry of Alaska, as the owner
of an extensive canning plant at Kar-
lux, Kodiak island, has just arrived
from the north. He brought down
with him some of the largest bear skins
ever seen in San Francisco.
One of them, a perfect and unblem-
ished skin Of an enormous grizzly,
measures twelve feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. Darling has a marvellous tale to
relate Of the natives way Of killing
a bear. "There are many grizzlies on
Kodiak island" he said, "as well as a
large number of cinnamon bears.

unfrequented cove one day, when I
spied two immense grizzlies. They
were so large that / did not care to
go after them, but when | got back to
karluk, / communicated the fact to
an Indian who bore the reputation Of
being one of the best bear hunters in
that section.
although fifty-two years old, he
had to ask his mothers permission,
which, being granted, he started across
the country after the bears. Some Of
the natives of Kodiak use firearms
on their hunting expeditions. This
fellow simply armed himself with a
long spear. He creased his head and
got to windward of the animals. Pret-
ty soon he heard a trampling in the
brush and knew the prey was APP
preaching. He dug a hole in the
ground, planted one end Of the spear
firmly, with the point in the direction
of the bear, and then crouched down.
The bear came along and licked the
head of the Indian. With swift and
dexterous movement the native cut a
cash in the bears neck with the sharp
spear point. The 9angered animal drew
back a few yards and made rush.
He impaled himself on the spear and

BROOD OF NAKED CHICKENS.
Novelty of a New Jersey Barnyard
That Creates Much Wonder.

SEA ISLE CITY, N. Y, Dec. 4.-Inhabit-
ing the barnyard of Mrs. Mary Soffe, at Dias
Creek, Cape May county, are featherless
brood of chickens, numbering a dozen or
more. Early in the spring Mrs. Soffe placed
a number of eggs under hen, and, in due
time a brood of chickens came forth They
were covered with down. just the same as
were scores Of other chicks, running about
the place, but as they grew older the down
left them and pin feathers took root. The
chickens, nearly full grown, are abso-
lutely Naked and present a woebegone. ap-
pearance as they strut about the barnyard
They are active, however, and do not seem
to mind their peculiar condition in the least
and the present cold weather has had no ap-
parent i'll effect on them. The skin covering
their bodies seems to be getting tougher and
thicker the weather becomes colder. Mrs.
Soffe's farmer neighbors have been offering
many suggestions in the way of protecting
the featherless fowl from the winters cold
and it may yet come to pass that garments
more becoming to their nakedness will be
supplied before the extreme cold comes
along.
Mrs. Soffe says she has the best of her
neighbors, inasmuch as they have to pick
all the feathers from a chicken they desire to
eat. whereas she has only to chop the head
off one of her naked chickens and prepare it
for the oven. taking no thought of the work
of picking feathers.

Had Her Husband Arrested.

William Champion, resident of Minneap-
Oils, was arrested at Seventh and Jackson
streets, in st. Paul, at an early hour this
morning by Lieut.. Pothen on a charge pre-
ferred by his wife, who drove all the way
from the Mill City for the purpose of having
her husband locked up.
The charge lodged against Champion at the
central station is simply drunk but it
may be changed to one of a more serious
nature in court today, as he is accused by
his wife with the theft of two diamond
rings, valued at $,000 and a fancy pearl
handle revolver. When searched at the sta
ton one Of the rings, the revolver and a
pawn ticket for the other ring was found in
Champions possession. Mrs Champion re-

BROKE DIVORCE RECORD.
Judge Smith, of the Mill City, Claims
the Cham ionship.

Judge Smith who has charge of the court
calendar this term, prepared to thin down
the divorce calendar as much as possible by
setting the default cases early. In this he
not only managed his own calendar so as to
dispose of it quickly possible, but also
endeared himself to the many persons who
are chatting under the restraint of nuptal
bonds that gall He set fifteen cases for to-
day, and there quite a colony on hand
to have their cases disposed of. The result
was that by putting on pressure, ten cases
were disposed of before noon. and the ball
ance were wiped off before time for adjourn
ment in the afternoon.
This list breaks the court record of di-
vorces for one day. There were fifteen cases
called, fourteen divorces granted and but
one case continued and none refused. This
throws in the shade the former champion
ships held by Indiana and Illinois, which for
ease and grace and rapidity in granting di-
vorces have not been eXcelled.
