They Rolled With Bruln.

KendrIek, Ida, Times: The close
ness with which bears are approach
ing the settled districts this year. is
wonderful. and shows the immense
shortage in the berry crop in the
mountains this season. Last Friday
Mr.. Mcdonald and Lewis Herbs, liv-

perience in trying to kill one in Big
canyon. Both men had emptled their
guns into bruins hide without fatal
result, and being at close quarters.
Mcdonald grabbed the bear by the

CHICAGO WILL KNOW BETTER
the Carrying of United States Mail
on Street Cars.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Should
the city authorities of Chicago under
take to stop the carrying of mails on
the street cars they may find them
selves in conflict with the entire power
of the United States and their police
may be confronted by soldiers. No
official information has reached the
pustotfice department regarding the
decision of the corporation counsel Of
Chicago that the carrying Of mails was
n violation of the street railway char
tiers, but the officials are very much
interested in the case, and are await
ing developments. The department
viii deal only with the street railway
companies with which it has contracts.
1t is no way concerned with any ques-
ton that may arise between the com
panies and the city. There is no ques-
tion as to the right of the government
to send mails over any highway in the
United States. The postotiice officials
will not be disposed TO assist the street
railway TO break down a strike among
their employees any further than It
may be necessary to carry on the regu-
lar business of the department. 1t is
that the department will in no way
countenance the putting of mails on
every car or train of cars, and claim
ing protection for 1t as mail train.
The trains which regularly carry mails
will probably be all that will receive
any protection from the United States.

KEEP down EXPENSES.
EXPENDITURE MUST BE BELOW RECEIPTS


Washington. Oct. 15,--The O. binet
was in session two hours today. Much
OF the time was devoted o Il discus
sion of the financial affairs of the
receipts an expenditures. The latter
were the special object Of considera-
tion as 1t is the wish OF the admlnls-
tration to keep the expenditures from
exceeding the receipts. The heads OF
departments have been engaged for
some time upon the estimates OF their
departments and efforts are being
made to have reductions made where
ever possible. In both war and navy
departments there is pressure for
larger expenditures for coast licenses,
rivers and harbors and for Increase OF
the navy. The recommendations of
the bureau of officers in these depart
ments have been scanned very closely
and reductions Will be mnde II found
compatible with the public interest. In
the other departments there Is no
urgent demand for increases. Various
other departmental matters were
brought before the cabinet and several

THEY WERE IN A SWEATBOX.


Chicago, Oct. 15.-Electrlc fans
bu22ed merrily in Judge Tuthilrs desk
today but ten feet away men and wo-
men sweltered as they listened to the
closing argument of ex-Judge Vincent
chief counsel for the defense in the
Luetgert trial. The crush at the Grim
inal court building was terrific. II
was the greatest crowd the trial has
yet seen, and the nolsiest. Collisions
between guards and deputy sheriffs on
one side and the mixed throng on the
other We're frequent. More than hall
the crowd was composed of women.
Luetgert was much improved in per-
sonal appearance, owing to II visit Ia
the jail barber shop. He also appeared
to have had II better nights rest than
upon Wednesday night. He greeted
his son Arnold Luetgert, and William
Charles, his business partner with
hearty hand-shakes. His heavy eye
brows were contracted and the habit
ual scowl deepened as Luetgert gazed
about him apparently in search of
friends
Ex-Judge Vincent. fresh and conf
dent in physical appearance, and In
good voice, resumed his argument
where he had left Off Thursday after
noon,

and in Difference to the wishes and sug-
gestions of the court. shall curtail my
readings considerably But before I
enter upon further discussion Of the
evidence in this case, / shall read to
you one or two cases of interest

read from law books definitions of cir

warning to you 10 men, that condemn
ing to death n human being on purely
clrcumstantlal evidence IL n dangerous

jury box say that Mrs. Luctgert viii

next year. or in the future? Unless
you can. n reasonable doubt exists I'm
your mind and you must give this
prisoner the benefit Of II. Throughout
your deliberations, remember that this
prisoner is entitled to every reasonable
doubt"
Ex-Judge Vincent took I'M the evil
dence In the case and discussed II nj
length. He defended Within Charles
Luetgert's partner,whose evidence was
lmpeached. and practically admitted
that the story Charles told was the
story Luetgert would have told had he
gone on the witness stand The hone
experts were discussed and those of
the prosecutor were ridiculed. while
the experts Of the defense were ex-
tolled To the skies.

a few hours argument. II Is oxpected
that one hour and a half will be re
udired for Judge Tuthlll to read the

DENOUNCE THE OFFICERS.


Acting Sergeant Miner and PATROL
man Hemple are being severely crit
icized by certain city officials for the
arrest Of President Of the Council
Il. p. Newell, on a charge of drunken
ness and disturbing the peace.
Among those who think the arrest
should not have been made is Mayor
Glendinning who takes the position
that such a proceeding will only re-
suit In the Clty's shame And In this
connection the statement is made that
an effort Is on foot to call the arrest
ing Ollie rs to account for refusing to
wink at the wrongdong Of the belliger-
ent councilman, In reply TO this friends
of the officers declare that they would
have been entirely recreant to their
duty had they allowed the brawl to
proceed without Interference. 1t was
openly claimed on the streets today
that the incident will cost Acting Ser
geant Miner and officer Hemple their
positions ON the force. But this kind of
talk was INDUCED In principally about
the saloons and there is not the least
likelihood that II Will be seriously con-
sidered elsewhere. Even in some If the
saloons the officers were commended
for their action in quelling the dis
turbanCe.
The sentiment against Mr.. Newell Is
very strong on the part OF the most of
his Council colleagues some of whom
contend that he will have to resign
his presidency, IL indeed he will not
be called upon to yield up his mem
Dershlp as well.
