ty-five miles northeast of here, to in
vestigate the alleged killing Of Indians

three Indians and a squaw with a
couple of moose carcasses and at
tempted to take their game from them.

A Perfor ming Bear Attacks New
Woman Cycllst.
Bruin does not object to bicycles on
principle, says the London Telegraph.
but his Indignation rises to the striking
point when he sees boomers superim-
posed thereon. He rightly regards
them as successful competitors with his
own ungainliness. This was amusing
ly illustrated on Chaplain road, where.
in the morning a collision took place
between performing bear and lady
on bike. Bruin was trudging along
the road quietly following the hook
in his nose to which his master had
attached chain, and allowed to pass
without observation several women
wearing the orthodox skirts on bicycles
or tricycles without opening his mouth
or wagging his tail. At last, not far
from Remington church, corpulent
lady in bloc mers came slowly wheeling
along, and the moment she came with
in range of the bears vision, he sud
denly snarled, jerked the chain out of
his keepers hand and made for the
bicycliste. With his head he butted
the machine, which, with the lady on
it, fell over and on himself, to the great
amusement of large number of spec
tators who laughed heartily at the mix
ture of Bruin and the bloomers. The
keeper promptly ran after his charge
and rescued him from underneath the
frightened wheelwoman, who shrieked
much, but was not wounded. He
marched off the animal in captivity
once more, while the lady summoned a
four-wheeler, put the damaged bicycle
on the top and drove off inside. She
obtained the name and address of the
bears owner, with the view, no doubt,
of obtaining reparation, but perhaps a
county .bailiff will have some difficulty
| in finding him by the time a summons
is obtained. 'z
