as her own the unkidlike orphan placed
in her care. But the time came when
foster mother and foster. child were as
happy and content in their relations to
each other as if the sight of nimble-
footed blue-haired nanny" sucking a
clumsy black bear cub was of the most
ordinary condition of affairs.
The bear, which was named Jack,
waXed fat on goats milk; and a more
docile, tractable beast never grew up
under the guardianship of a humane
and loving master. In the earlier days
of his adoption the baby was a baby in
truth. He would not be left alone. And
il would have been a harder heart than
Ford's that could have resisted the pitt
full whimper of the little fellow when
ever he thought that he was to be left
alone within the house. Had there been
any to see it in those days they would
have witnessed a strange sight. The
great, broad-shouldered man followed
his flock as they grazed on the bunch
grass-sometimes five or six miles from
homeland as he walked the steep
mountain side, where it was so almost
perpendicular that it seemed that only
the goats themselves could gain foot
hold on the rocks, he carried the cub in
his arms.
When Jack grew older he was trained
to herd the goats. Previously number
of dogs had helped Ford, but the bear
and the dogs could not agree, and so the
dogs had to go. Jack took their place
well, and they were never missed. For
several years the bear continued to
help Ford, until the latter sold his ranch
and prepared to go to his old home in
Europe. Then a number of his neigh
bors tried to buy the bear. Ford re-
fused to sell him, and said that if he
could not take Jack with him he would
not go. The difficulty about shipping
the bear was overcome, and now he and
his master are living contentedly in the
old country, enjoying the fruits of their
long, lonesome stay in the California
mountains

In a minute Mrs Arundle appeared in

The man turned and approached
carelessly, not looking up until he
reached the step leading to the back
door. Then he raised his eyes and saw
that instead Of a key Mrs. Arundle had
in her hand bright bulldog revolver
ready cooked. He stopped and his jaw
fell. Then Mrs. Arundle said:
"Now you get right out of here in
hurry. No chicken thief is going to rob
me in broad daylight if have my eyes

The thief grabbed up his bag, made
for the fence, jumped over, and ran
down Woodbridge avenue.

leave with him tonight on the north
bound International train for Long
view, where he is wanted for murder. :.
Jim Knight has been known under
several aliases. At Longview he was
known as Jim Jones and at Junction
City as John Underwood. EX-Sheriff
John Durbin, of Frio county, says he
knows him we'll and that he is none
other than Jim Knight. He was cap
tured at Junction City on the 7th of
last February, when Sheriff John Jones
and posse of Kimble county wiped out
a gang of outlaws. A lively conflict
ensued between the outlaws and the
officers, in which a brother of Knight
and a man named Crane were killed,
and Jim Knight was wounded. He
was shot through the thigh, in the
left leg and in the right hip, the two
last bullets still being in him. He was
unable to move and was captured and
taken to the Kimble county JAIL where
he had been confined ever since Febru-
AIRY.
NThe crime for which Jim Knight is
wanted was committed at Longview
in May, 1894, when the notorious Dali
ton gang robbed bank. There were
eleven citizens of Longview killed at
the time, among them George Buck
ingham and Charles Learned, and the
dead also numbered Bill Dalton and
George Bennett.

aged to secure the 80 votes necessary to
elect their man. The opposition forces
will not let the election pass. They
will carry it to the United States SEN
ate, where the charge will be made that
undue influence was welded by the
Mormons to force the election of Raw
Inns. The issue is certainly a most in
teresting one. Rawlins is native of
Utah and of Salt Lake county. He lived
on farm until he was IS, and then
went east for his education, which he
received at the University of Indiana.
On his return to Utah he served two
years as professor in the Deseret uni
versity of Salt Lake City, and mean
while he studied law. In 1875, the year
he resigned his position in Deseret uni
versity, he was admitted to the bar of
Utah and began the practice of law
This he followed until he was elected
territorial delegate in 1892. In politics
Mr.. Rawlins has always been a demo-
crat. 1t was as democrat that he was
elected to the Fifty-third congress, and
it is an odd incident that he will be the
colleague of the man whom he defeated
in that election. Mr.. Rawlins is firm
believer in the doctrine of free silver,
and has strong proclivities toward free
trade. AS lawyer he has gained an
enviable reputation in this state. The
result of the contest in the senate will
be important for Utah.

The brig goes to Tahiti and from that

The bear that figured in the story
was known as Jack, and he belonged to
Lewis Ford, who formerly owned a goat
ranch high up on the Cerro Colorado
mountain, overlooking the lovely valley
of the San Joaquin, in California.
Ford found the bear when it was
cub, soft, round, shining and black.
Being wifeless, childless and alone, he
adopted the tiny cub, and carried 1t
home. Once there, Ford soon found
that a foster mother must be provided
for the infant, and so a frightened,
trembling, bleating shegoat was
brought to the house to take the place
of the parent he so missed. 1t was only

sion the goat could be induced to adopt

CAT AND PORCUPINE.
Unique Struggle Reported from the
Beech Woods of Maine,

A large wildcat that had gone hungry
three days sneal1ed down the big beech
ridge above Balygump, Me-, with it's
face screwed into as ugly a sneer as
ever a wildcat wore. Beyond the ridge,
where the ground sank into a gully
like swamp, the wildcat found fat
porcupine on the ground. The cat evil
IDENTITY found the porcupine tempting to
look on, for it promptly went on the
hunt with all the craft it could exercise.

cupine's side. The porcupine ulea
quickly, but the wildcat, with its jaws
distended with the quilts, could not
eat the meat, being able to lap up only
n little of the blood.
The agony of the wildcat was so great
after awhile that the brute rolled over
and over in the snow, finally forcing a
quill through an eye and into its brain.
Sam Hansome, of Balygump, picked up
the carcass before it was cold.
