New York Press, an Italian walked in
to town leading dancing bear and told
story which accounted for the in
juries. His name was Antonio Maxia,
and he was on his way from Buffalo to
New York. AS the weather was mild,
he conceived the idea of saving. rail-
road fare and picking up few coins
along the way by walking the distance.
Without adventure he reached point
between Binghamton and yestal, when
he determined to stay in vacant barn
over night.
Accordingly, "Beppo" was lodged In
one corner Of box stall and Antonio
curled down on a pile of straw for a
nap. He was awakened by several
rough forms bending over him and
voice saying: We'll go through him
anyway, and If he hollers kick in the
head Wilt him.
Antonio was frightened. He had $40
In belt. AS one of the men seized his
arms, he gave the whistle he used to
call his four-footed servant. The men
thinking he was signaling a comrade,
threw him down and choked him until
he gasped for breath. They did not
see the dark form that emerged from
the box stall and shuffied toward them.
Evidently "Beppo' realized the situa-
ton at once. Among his other accom-
plishments he had at one time given
boxing exhibitions with his keeper. AS
one of the men who was bending over
the italian looked up and saw the heavy
figure, he gave shout. Catching up
club he struck violently at the bear.
The blow was parted and the club
sent crashing through window. Then
companion drew revolver. A blow
sent the weapon in one direction and
the man spra wiling on the ground. Then
1t was that the wounded man drew a.
knife and attempted to attack bruin.
He was seized In brawny arms and left
shrieking for help as his companions
led.
Fortunately for the man Antonio had
gained his senses and compelled the
animal to loosen his hold. The tramp
on being released staggered to the door
and out into the darkness. Antonio
thinks that only for the prompt aid rem
dered by "Beppo" that night he would
have been robbed and perhaps MUIR
dered. AS 1t was he had enough Of tour
ing in that section, and with his four
footed friend took the train for PORT

THIS BEAR WAS A BOXER.
When Armed Robbers Attacked His
Master He Put Them to Flight.

Some days ago four tramps walked
into Binghamton, N. Y, from the
st. Their clothing hung in shreds
and one was badly crippled from a
wound in. the leg. They visited a ply
sician to have the injury dressed. One
said his companion had fallen or a
freight train and another that when the
man was passing through a strip OF
woods near Owego they were at
tackled by wild animals and narrowly
escaped with their lives.
The latter story was borne out by. the
nature of the wounded mans injuries.
They had the appearance of long, deep
scratches, from six inches to. foot In
length, penetrating nearly to the bone.

The waste of time in the fed
Grafton convention over the re-
port of the committee on Off
GERS reports, is greatly to be re-
GREETED. But let the blame 90
where it belongs. Had the re-
port been considered for what
it said, rather than for what
the members of the council
felt themselves guilty of, the
debate would not have lasted
80 minutes. The council itself
had denounced Mr.. Culkin in
more severe language than the
report; and if the latter con:
tanned any reflections on it's
members, it was in what was
read thereinto by their own ac-
cusing consciences.
