THE BEARS REVENGE.
John Gut hrie Tells How Justice Was
Melted Out to Il Friend While
IN the West.

John Guthrie, of COB King street, tl,t
only living survivor Of the Phil. kear.
ney Indian Massacre tells story OF
peculiar revenge which a captive grizzly
bear got on companion of Guthrie's.
1t was Just after the massacre and
Guthrie and his companion had reached
a town about 100 miles from the tort.
The town had had an attraction in the
shape Of a captive grizzly bear. So
He was a hungry-looking brute, about
the size of an ordinary COW, and was
chained to a post in the centre of a
strong log pen. The pen stood beside
the tracks, about POO feet from the sta
tion, and a recent rainstorn had made Il
vertiablc mudhole OF it,.
When the survivor Of the massacre
and his friend reached the place at
which the bear was stationed, Guthrie's
'pmF' halted and like many others,
began grunting at the grizzly.
Failing to excite him by these
means he resorted to others. Fixing a
handkerchief on stick he faun,ed it in
bruins face and tickled him ON the nose
with it, then poked him in the ribs.
Ignoring all friendly warning. the fellow
waxed bolder, and, coming close up to
the pen. thrust all arm in between the
logs. Then the lnng-sufferfng bear saw
his opportunity and improved it. Sud-
denly and with startling swiftness he
reared on his hind legs until he loomed
high above the astonisled man, and then,
with a deep grow of anger, he struck
fiercely at his prosecutor. For breath
less second the man stood bereft of the
power of motion; then, with scream Of
fright, he tried to draw back, but too
late. The enormous bear caught his
arm in glancing fashion. slredding his
coat and shirt sleeves, and scoring sew
eral ugly scratches in the flesh, while an
avalanch of mud and filth descended on
his luckless head, fairly obliterating his
features, and thickIy snlearing the whole
upper part Of his person. The bears
revenge was complete. Swift and sud
den Justice had been meted ont, and
with shaken nerves and ruined clothes
the smart man made his way to Guthrie
and that gentleman promptly advised
him to quit the scene, which he did.

three children in this city Her husband,
Daniel Mullen, a foreman at the Blumen-

with it's well known reputation afford to publish an untruth even for the sake of sensation. Thus the confession edl- tor and the attorney had bickered un- til both got angry.
 District Attorney Barnes first placed upon the stand Thomas B. Sullivan or the Examiner, who told of the negotia- tions between his paper and Attorneys Haymond and Mcintosh so far as he was acquainted with them. He was followed by Connors. The confession editor talked in a dignifed, calm ana positive manner, as became one or hls responsible position. There was no hesftancy ins his replies. Every move. ment that he made was deliberate, ana he did not look like man who had shattered records for getting confes- sions on short notice. Yet It was known tIat criminals of wary shade suffered terribly until they hadpoured their woes into his willing ear. He told or ms m tervieW with Haymond and Mcintosh, and also of the one that he had with Hoff.
 He denied that he offered him cent for a confession. He admitted, how ever. that he had upon one occasion Of fered him some of his Perfecto Regalla cigars. and that he had given him some money to purchase oil. so that he might have it to burn in his lamp. Relative to the purchase of the confession con nors stated that he had said that the concession would have to be properly attested. He admitted that the price desired by Raymond had been more than he thought the confession was worth, and he had attempted to nave few dollars knocked off.

Actress Who Kisses
 DiVin6lg.

Mile. Anna Held, who bathes in milk and kisses divinely, is on her way here to open at the Baldwin Theater at the con clusion of the present engagement of Joseph Holland.
 That Miss Held should be on her way here is nothing very remarkable nor IS the fact that she is going to play at the Baldwin a subject of comment. There have been. other theatrical stars of more or less magnitude who have been on their way to this city before now and who have not only kissed divinely, but who have bathed in champagne as well as milk Consequently it is not that Miss Held is coming that excites interest, but the man. her of her coming. She will arrive here in a style never before indulged in by even the greatest of her profession, ana when her attendants as well as her sur roundings are considered it is sale pet that nothing will follow that will equal her until circus season again approaches.
 Miss Held travels in private car or passing magnificence and her companions are a parrot, that swears with huency in several modern and one or two ancient languages; a pair of monkeys Of the long tailed and bewhskered variety; two cats and a small dog, who serve to make things interesting when the fair Held IS suffering from ennui produced by long yistas of sage brush and alkal.
