THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR.
Puss Frightened Bruin Up n Tree
and Kept Him There.

Curis Burns, the veteran first sergeant Of
Troop y. had kitten which, during the sum-
mer camping of the troop at the Lower Gey-
eser basin, made her home within tie SER
geants tent. Here, curled up on a pair of
army blankets, she defied the world in general
and dogs in particular. When the latter ap-
preached she would elevate every bristle on
her brave little back her eyes would glow
like live Goals, and her tail would swell up
threateningly. If dogs approached too near
she would hiss, and exhibit the usual signs
of hostility, until the intruders had vanished
from her neighborhood
One day, when the camp was bathed in
sunshine and every soldier In camp felt lazy
an inquisitive black bear came down the
mountain side, and whether because he was
in search of adventure or because attracted
by a savory smell from the cooks fire, be-
gan to walk about among the white tents OF
the calvary command.
Suddenly the kitten caught sight of him.
Dogs by the score she had SEEN but this par
tiular dog was the largest and the hair
lest dog she had ever seen. But she did not
hesitate. 1t was enough for her that an en-
envy had invaded her special domain. Hiss
ing forth her spite, while her little body quiv
cred with rage she darted forth at the bear.
The onslaught was sudden, and one glance
was enough for bruin. With snort OF fear,
bruin made for the nearest tree, short dis
lance away, and did not pause until he was
safely perched among the upper branches!
Meanwhile the kitten stalked proudly about on
the ground beneath, keeping close guard over
her huge captive, her back curved into a bow,
and her hair still bristling with righteous in
dignation, while her tail would now and then
give a significant little wave, as II to say:
SThats the way settle impertinent bears"
The soldiers who meanwhile had poured
forth from their tents, could scarcely believe
their eyes, but there was the bear in the tree
and the kitten below, and there were those
who had seen the affair from beginning to
end.
And perhaps the strangest part Of it all was
that the bear would not stir from his safe
position in the branches until the kitten had
been persuaded to leave her huge enemy
e clear means OF retreat! Then he slid shame

billings EVIDENCE THIN.
Not Very Damaging to John r..
Howard.


The trial Of the case of the state against
John r. Howard commenced yesterday morn
ing before Judge Smith and jury. Assistant
Attorney General Edgerton outlining the
case of the state to the jury. The case
comes to Hennepin county on a change Of
venue from Wright county, where Howard
was indicted by a grand jury.
The same facts were tried before in this
county, no agreement being reached The
claim of the state is that Howard procured
Otis l.. Billings to bride a juror in a case
on trial at Buffalo, in which the Great
Northern Railway company was interested.
The case is chiefly interesting from the fact
that Billings charges that Wendell &
Pidgeon, we'll known attorneys of Wright
acquiesced in it. This is denied by the de-
PENDANT, who claims that he had no under
standing with Billings to approach any
juror. Another peculiar thing is that Mr..
Pldgeon is now county attorney Of Wright
county, and hence could not try the case,
which is being prosecuted by the attorney
general.
Mrs. Amelia Osborne, John E. Holmberg
and Frederick Graft were sworn in the
morning, to give evidence as to an alleged
appointment between Billings and the de-
PENDANT. In the afternoon Ernest Otto, the
juror in the case, was sworn and testified
that Billings spoke to him about the case
at Buffalo, Mimi.
Billings was placed on the stand, and told
his story much as at the previous trial.
He claimed that Howard came to him and
wanted him to do a piece of work at Buffalo
for which he would pay him. In complying
with that request, he went there and made
the proposition to- Juror Otto. He admitted,
upon croSS-eXamination, that Howard had
never mentioned the name of Otto TO him
but he claimed he knew who Howard wanted

WILLARD IS NAMED
HE Is CHOSEN TEMPORARY SEC
RETARY OF THE CONNER
CEAL CLUB.
CALDERW00D AGAIN PREX.
SECOND DAY OF THE ANNUAL CON-
GRESS OF THE WOMAN'S
COUNCIL.
PHILANTHROPY IS DISCUSSED,
Seven BicycIists who Deserted the
Mud for the Sidewalks Placed
Under Arrest.

E. r. Willard was elected temporary
secretary of the Commercial club at
the annual meeting of the board of di-
rectors yesterday afternoon. This &C
ton was taken after the acceptance Of
the resignation of E. L. Danforth, who
for long time has occupied that po
sition with the club. Mr.. Danforth has
for some time been contemplating this
action, as his health has to great eX-
tent been impaired by the combining
duties Mr. Willard is a young man
of excellent attachments, and has sig
nified his willingness to assume the
duties for a short time. The other Of
f1cers elected were as follows: Presi-
dent, John F. Calderwood; first vice
president, w. L. Harris, second vice
president, George A. Duvigneaud;
treasurer H. L. Jenkins. A house COM
nittee of three was selected as fol-
lows: w. L. Harris, Walter Gregory,
H. L. Gregory. This committee re-
places former committees, and it's du-
ties will be quite extensive, it having
practical control of the rooms, and will
estimate needed improvements and see
that they are carefully executed.
There has been considerable discus
sion within the club as to the advis-
ability of abolishing the gymnasium
feature. The board of directors yes
terday decided that this should not
be done. On the other hand, a strong
sentiment prevailed in favor of this
department, and this work will be ex-
tended on broader plans than hereto
fore. 1t was also the sense Of the
meeting that f1rst-class paraphernalia
be secured, and that the gymnasium
be under the direction of a competent
attendant. 1t will from now on be the
endeavor to make the gymnasium a
perfect one, and department that will
in itself be a model.

Heard on the First Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The trial Of

est this morning. Yesterday the jury
was secured and at 10 o'clock this
morning District Attorney William ].
Youngs began his address. Thorn,
clean shaved and we'll groomed, sat
with unmoved countenance as the
prosecuting attorney outlined his case
When he had concluded the taking Of
testimony began. Twenty witnesses
were summoned for examination today
and the district attorney took them
one by one, just as the finding Of the
different portions Of the body opened
up to the public and the fact that a
terrible crime had been committed. The
first witnesses were the boys who,
while swimming in the East river, had
found the upper portion of the severed
trunk, and then followed the police
men who were called to the scene of
the finding and they in turn were fol-
lowed by witnesses who testified to the
bringing of that part Of the body to the
morgue. The discovery of the lower
part OF the trunk from which the legs
were severed, half way between the
thighs and knees twas then taken up,
and every personawho handled 1t until
it was deposited, with the morgue
keeper, was examined and each one in
turn identified the paper, oil-cloth and
cheese cloth in which the part was
wrapped The rest of the afternoon
was taken up by: the testimony of those
who found and inspected the bundle
found floating at the Brooklyn navy
yard. and as in the other two in
stances the carrying of these limbs
was followed from The dock to the
New York morgue at Bellvue hospital.
Then the morgue Keeper was put on
the stand.

alton had given their testimony and

COMMON LAW WIFE
Gets Very Much in the Way of n
Foreclosure.

In the action of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance company against Cornelius
Kelley ct al, there is a bit of interesting
district court history. Several years ago Kel-
ley who owned a brick block on Cedar ave-
nue. made an effort to get a woman out of
his building by ejectment proceedings Be-
fore he was through the court had decided
that the woman in question was Mrs. Cor
nelius Kelley, by a common law marriage,
and also provided Kelley with a family of
children. Since then she has remained in
the house. and since then also mortgage
has been foreclosed, and the year of re-
demption has expired. The plaintiff in the
present action seeks to gain possession and
hence the suit
OF course Mrs. Kelley claims that she
never signed the mortgage, that therefore
1t was no mortgage, that it is her home
stead, and that she will not vacate. Since
the same court that is now invoked has de-
cided that she and Kelley were husband and
wife, it will be interesting to see what the
jury will find in the matter

BELIEVES IN sUFFOCATION.
Russian Sect Which Thinks Martyr
dom Necessary to Reach Heaven.

Following upon the recent revela-
lions concerning the self-immolating
fanatics in the district of Tiraspol,
Russia, the newspapers now report
that there is a sect in the province Of
Kazan the members Of which advocate
death by suffocation. believing that
heaven can only be gained by suffer-
ing martyrdom in this life, says the
London Daily News. Consequently,
when any member of the sect is be-
lieved to be on the point Of death, a
small cushion is placed over the suf-
ferer's mouth and held there until suf-
location ensues, the other members

standing round and singing psalms.
The work of suffocation is usually
performed by an old woman, who is
paid by the sect, and who is obliged
to attend at once when a member Is
dying AS, however, it would be dan
gerous to carry on these practices in
dwelling houses, the person to be suf-
Gated is transported to q secret rem
devious, and, after death, is buried in
some wood or ravine, all traces of the
grave being carefully Obliterated.
The report was recently current at
Kazan that the police had discovered
one of the meeting places of the sect,
but no confirmation of this is obtain
able.

GOLD IN THE Old S70KEWALL.
Pay Ore Struck IN Famous Julian Nine
Which Has Been Idle for
Many Years.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 25.-T. B.
Shide and George Campbell have made a
strike on the north extensian of the
famous Stonewall mine, near Julian.
sixty miles east, that bids fair to be the
biggest thing in the gold mine line tbs t
has been unearthed here in many moons.
The two men some months ago procured
a lease of the Stone wall property from the
owners, the Sather Banking Company Of
San Francisco, TO prospect along the line
OF the main LEAD, from which so many
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been taken In the past. Botn had un-
bounded confidence in the old Sionewall
as Talua bic property, although the mine
has been empty and the big stampmiIl
silent these five years, and they set at
work to find ths ore they knew must exist
somewhere on the claim.
Old miners will remember that at one
time Governor Waterman could have sold
the Stonewall for $4,000, 900, but shortly
after that the lead was said to have
pinched out. At any rate it was lost, and
before long the mine shut down. Last
week it could have been purchased for one
twentieth the former sum.
The strike made by Shide and Campbell
is northwest of the present big shaft and
the ore was taken from a 30-foot working
shaft The ledge is fully four feet wide,
and the ore, which averages about $35 to
the ton, is free milling and remarkably
uniform in quality. The ledge has been
followed far enough TO show that il is the
true tissure vein, ana without doubt an
extension OF the great Stonewall lead.
The men sre happy, and all Julian is eX-
cited over the strike, which promises to
send StoneWail stock skyward.
