good an impression here not long ago.
In addition we are to have I2obetta and

ers, etc, and, lastly, Fish and Grigg,
the long and the short men, exceeding
ly funny specialists. Concerning the
Coonleys, it is represented that their
performance is marvellous with mys-
terry. They do not claim or disclaim
supernatural aid, but leave the audi
ence to draw its own conclusions as
to how the phenomena are produced.
They claim to do everything that the
mediums allege they do through spirit
power. This ought to challenge be-
levers in spirit power to give these peo-
pie a chance to prove their claims.

ing scars in the stock that remain there
to this day.
There was no alternative but for
Craddock TO jump and run for his lie.
Lack of more good MOUNDS ana the
formidable risk of going after the brute
without them deferred the Childs Val
lev settlers from following up the adj
vantage gained by Craddock. Bruin,
therefore. had time to get we'll of his
wound and to inaugurate campaign
of revenge Bear though he was, he
seems to have had a little Machiavelli
in him. At least the death list of the
sheep cotes of the district during the
next few months tells such a story.
About three months after the fight
with CraddOCk bruin turned loose on
Pope Valley hOgpen. The size and
strength of the pen made no difference
TO him. The pickets of the Enclosure
were from four to six inches thick and
were. nailed on with bridge-timber
spikes. Bruin swept these away as if
they were the flesh on mans shoulder
and sat him down in the midst of the
sQuealing pOrkers until his belly was
made full and his lust of retaliation for
the Childs Valley outrage on his foot
was fully satisfied.
1t SO happened that the owner Of this
pen, Jurd Walters, was a veteran
bar hunter. He took the depredator's
trail quickly and with a gang of men
followed bruin north for three days
until he dropped out of sight in the
neighborhood of Bartlett Springs in
Lake County, probably hiding in an old
cave. A cave which apparently had
been the bears headquarters for many
years was subsequently located in that
vicinity by a man named Thorp, the
discoverer of Bartlett Springs.
Tracking bruin was easy on this oc-
casion. The wound from Craddock's
hoI Ia hut IA ID
given a peculiar outward twist to his
right foot so that the toes turned al
most at a right angle to those of the
left foot This unusual mark gave the
big brute the name of Reel Foot,
and by that name he was known
throughout the balance of his extra
ordinary career.
During the chase Reel Foot took his
course directly across the GuenOc
ranch, which has since become famous
as the stock farm of Fred Gerhard.
Lily Langtry owns the next ranch.
Here the bear seized oneof the papooses
of the tribe of the Lake County In
dian chief, Chappo, which had been
left on the bank of Putah Creek while
the mother was washing clothes in the
stream.
Chappo's tribe was in a state of wild
excitement by the time Walters gang
arrived, and the aged and grizZled
chief (whO still lives at the advanced
age Of 120 years. offered six of his
choicest squaws and two ponies to any
white man who would kill the bear.
Chappo and his tribe, of course, joined
in the chase.
But Reel Foot evidently had been in
that part of the country before. He
disappeared in the brush back of the
Copsey ranch, brush which nothing but
a snake or a bear could penetrate.
Nevertheless Walters pressed the es-

more bears than any man in Northern
California, and lost more portions OF
his anatomy in doing so. He is minus
half of his right leg, q third Of his right
hand and his scalp. All Of these me
mentos he left with Reel Foot. He

John Copsey has just rid the COM
munity. :;
The death of Reel Foot at last may
be attributed to. the recent big. forest
fires that devastated many sections. Of
Lake County, burning up the lairS Of
deer; panthers and all other wild ami
mails. 1t happened that the fires reached
the hiding place of old Reel FOOT and
smoked him out. He had been, COM
paratively quiet for several: seasons,
perhaps on account of age. Being dis
turbed in his quietness may have ag-
gravated his old-time fierce spirit.
However that may be, it. is "a fact
that few days ago John. Copsey, now
grown from youth to the tallest man
in Lake County, discovered the famil-
lar tracks of the veteran Reel Foot
on his ranch. 1t was the work of an
instant for Copsey to secure his. rifle
and set out on the trail in pursuit.
Reel Foot was found in one of his old,
sullen, dangerous humors. but Copsey
this time was not dependent on the
muZzle loader Of the earlier days. Reel
Foot, on the contrary, had grown aged;
his teeth, as .Copsey subsequently as
certained, had lost their edge, but the
vicious legs. which never lose their
quick cunning while a bear exists, were
as strong and active as ever.
The recognition between the two
seemed to be mutual; at least, so says
Copsey. John dropped his rifle to his
shoulder and fired. But that sort OF
thing did not Tease Reel Foot. He
had been through it before and he
didn't mind lead in the least. The bull
let might as well have gone into a
sponge. Reel Foot kept coming on.
Copsey pulled the lever for another
shot, but the mechanism stuck and
Reel Foot closed on him. 1t looked
like death struggle for awhile. Cop
sey says he thought his end had come
and that he was going the same way
as poor Church had gone years be-
fore. But by some means he man
aged to draw his knife, and with last
effort planted it in a mellow patch be-
tween two of Reel Foots ribs.
1t was providential blow and ended
Reel Foot.
When placed on the scales the huge
fellow weighed 1850 pounds. Copsey
found forty-f1ve bullets in various parts
of his body, and his thick hide was a
crazy quilt of scars. The entire COM

steam vessels navigate the upper

not only populous, but fertile, and 1t

I do not believe there is any danger
in the partition of China, and that we
may lose our concession through that
means No country wants to pick a
quarrel with the United States.
AS the railroad work advances and
the people of the country see what our
people eat and wear they are going to
want it. They use a great deal of our
oil in China They are going to use
more, and so the Standard Oil Company
is with us in this enterprise. They are
going to want sugar, and so the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company is with
u.s. They are going to want coffee, and
so the Arbuckle Coffee Company is
with u.s.
The way to build up trade is to create
a desire for the things you have to sell.
How many years has it been since no
man in the United States thought of
spending 100000 a year? Less than
twenty years ago that condition ex-
listed To-day there are SO many men
spending that sum that you cannot
keep track Of them. They have no So
cial standing and their names you have
probably never heard. We have got to
go to China and show the people what
they should want to eat and wear.
This is a great producing country-a
