How . Farmer Captured the Animal That Ha1

OswEGo. y. ". June Ga. ]. Brockway.a
farmer living in Osceola, not far from here, haa
missed sheep now and then for a month past.
A week ago he discovered bear tracks in his
sheep pasture. and he made up his mind that q
bear WAS the thief. though there hadn't been q
bear seen i'll the neighborhood for some time.
He set a big spring trap, which he chained to a
log and baited it with fresh meat The very
next morning the log and the trap were gone
and the condition Of the ground around made IL
plain that the bear had had "a tussel with the
trap before he had started TO carry IL away.
There was a trail straight across the field in the
direction of a SWAMP, showing the way the bear
and his load had gone. The trail led more than
a mile through a woods. B~rockway got his gun
and followed il up. 1t led into the swamp and
he almost stumbled over the bear before he saw

The bear rs sitting down licking a paw
which was fast in the steel trap. II was just -
much astonished as was Brockway at being DIS
covered. and II rose up, B~rockway thought. 70

STOLE BECAUSE HE WANTED MONEY.
Hehiin Was Ut Work when Mr.. Atktns Came
In and Caught Him at IL.

When Charles A. Atkins returned late yester-
day afternoon to his rooms over his art store in
the basement OF ~ Union square, he found the
door ajar and a man rummaging through his
trunks. Mr.. Atkins's clothing WAS scattered
over the floor. and he yelled at the man to lind
out what he was about. The man had been SO
absorbed in examining Mr.. Atkins's clothes that
he had not noticed his entry. When he heard
the yell he looked up and ran past Mr.. Atkins
down the steps into the street. Mr.. Atkins fol-
lowed, shouting stop thief"
The thief ran through Fifteenth street to Fifth
avenue. MIR. Atkins chased him and a crowd
followed them. At Fifth avenue Policeman
Donovan tried to grab the thief. He missed him
and began to chase him up Fifth avenue on the
east sidewalk. Donovan caught the thief at
Eighteenth street and took him to tho West
Thirtieth street station house. He said that he
was William Hehlin and that he had no home.
As he ran he threw away a jimmy. A skeleton
key and an aluminium letter opener, used as a
lock pick. were found In his pockets. He had
Sl4.50, and said he was robbing Mr.. Atkins be-
cause he wanted money.
On each Sunday during the past two months
there have been one or more robberies in the
Tenderloin similar to the one attempted on Mr..
Atkins, and the police think that Hchlin may
have been the thief. He is of medium size,
dresses well, and is about IS years old.

The Fountain Feed Pipe sprung n Leak which
Makes u Lot or Trouble.
There is a fountain which when made to work
sends a handsome column OF water fifteen feet
or more above the level of the water in the
reservoir at High Bridge. 1t is fed by n pipe
which leads from the water tower out under the
wall of the basin. On Friday this pipe sprung a
leak, which was discovered only when a stream
of water ran across the pathway and dug a
small gully in its passage. The water was
turned off and men sot Mt work unearthing
the leak. 1t was located finally under
the wall. The engineers were not quite
certain how much the wall might have
been weakened before the water showed itself
outside. For this reason the depth of water in
the reservoir was reduced about eight feet. The
workmen began at the top of the reservoir wall
to dig down through the rubblc and stone filling
TO reach the break. 1t has, proved to be q big
task. hut will be completed probably in about
three days. Meantime the water in the reser-
voir will be kept at its present low level to pre-
clude the possibility OF damage to the wall by
the pressure of water.

rTEaROUGHOUT THE
SOUTH

In an interesting article the Houston
tTcNo Post says SOME very encouraging
things about the outlook Of business In
the South expressing Itself In this wise:
"All the indications point TO
substantial ana continuing: improve
mcnt IN business throughout the
South. The manufacturers in this
city and in fac. all over the South.
arc busy. with plenty OF orders
ahead. The Southern textile mills
are running full time, the Southern
furnaces are increasing their output
and the reflection OF this condition
is now being felt in mercantile cii-
Giles. The Southern farmers as Il rule.
owe less money than at any time
since the war, and are in excellent
condition to respond to the quicken
ing impulses Of trade which are now
beginning to throb from one end OF
the country to the other"
This is encouragement. and just about
now that Is what the South needs most,
next To the business itself.
