Southern army was materially smaller
throughout the war than the Northern
forces.
An explanation of the apparent anomaly
has recently appeared in a statement which
shows in detail that the number or southern
officers was relatively larger than the num-
Der of Northern officers during the civil
war The official Confederate army list
shows one general-in-chief Robert II. Lee
and seven full generals, as follows: Cooper
Albert Sydney Johnston, Beauregard;
Hood The number of lieutenant generals
in the Confederate army, Stonewall jack
SON HILL Early Buckner. Wade Hampton
and Gordon among them was nineteen, and
there was besides eighty-one major generals
and more than two hundred brigadier gen
erals This was very much larger than the
army roll in respect of staff officers on the
Union side at a corresponding period
Before the establishment of the office of
lieutenant general there were four major
generals and eleven brigadier generals in
the regular army, and twenty major gem
erals and $50 brgadier generals in the vol
unteer service There was cOrrespOndingly
a larger force of colonies and majors in the
the reason for this was to be found in the
fact that the commands of Southerners were
generally smaller and more widely
separa ted. The Northern forces constituted
the attacking army; the Southern forces,
after the battle of Gettysburg, were on the
defensive and much of the conflict which
continued during the closing years of the
strife was, so far as the Southern men were
engaged in it, of desultory guerrilla char

FIGHT WITH A SHE BEAR.
Adventure of Two Unarmed Spokane
PrOspeetors.

Spokane Spokesman
A thrilling but thoroughly authenticated
story of adventure with bear comes from
the vicinity of Pilot Bay, British Columbia
Len A. McCrea, brother of w. II. McCrea,
recently with the Chattaroy Lumber Com,
pany. came down few days ago and
| brought the news, with evidences on his
person beyond dispute.
Len McCrea and his brother Robert were
prospecting on the hills above Pilot Bay.
They were about six miles from camp and
five or six rods apart. Len, who was In the
lead heard a terrific rushing sound that inn
pressed him at first as being an avalanche.
Almost instantly he discovered huge Gin
namon bear, with wide-open jaws, bearing
down upon him. He shouted Justify to his
brother, whose view of the scene was OBJ
scured by rocks and bushes
The bear. which is thought to have been
female, came rushing on, Selzing Mr.. Nc
Crea by the right thigh with her teeth. He
threw an arm around the bears neck, striv
ing to disengage her hold on his leg, still
calling out to his brother. Robert heard the
cries and hurried as fast as a man can in
the rugged hills. Neither of the men was
armed except with picks. Robert struck the
hear with all his might on the back of the
neck with his pick. This angered the beast,
and she loosened her hold upon her intended
victim for dinner, turning her attention to
Robert AS he raised the pick to strike
again she caught his right arm in her pom
derous jaws, and the pick fell from his
helpless hand, as he roared with pain and
despair 1t was a most unequal battle. but
he buffetted the animal in the eye with his
left fist making it apparently uncomforta-
HE for her to hold on. Before Len, in his
lacerated condition, could come to the res
cue Robert and the bear were engaged in
a weird wrestling contest. Both lost their
footing and fell, rolling over each other two
or three times down the hillside. AS Len
came up shouting the bear broke her hold
on Roberts arm and ran away. At a dis
lance of about three rods she stopped
turned squarely around and looked at the
two men, champing her jaws as if heSitat-
ing to so back and eat them or not. FL
naily, with sniff and the bears exclama-
ton of decision. "Ouff!' she shambled
away down the hillside.
The two brothers were too badly hurt to
return to their camp that day, as 1t was
growing late. They, clambered down the
mountain to a small stream. where they
built a fire and ataid all night In the
morning they rugged up rude crutches and
returned to their camp, where Robert and
another brother. Walter McCrea remain to
work a claim located some time ago.
Lens right thigh was shockingly lacerated

considerably over six feet in height when
standing on her hind feet. She is thought

the vicinity.

To make matters worse, Nine Bernhardt

mornings. and threatened at every moment

friends shouted for help, as it was all they
could do. Mr.. Haraucourt, who was bathing
in the sea, heard the shouts and saw the
actress in her dangerous plight. He at
once started to climb the cliffside, and
managed by a roundabout way to reach
