BRUINS REVENGE.

How Grizzly Bear Punished a Man
Who Persisted in Stirring Him Up.
The town of Medicine Hat, in Assini-
boia, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
had in 1894 an attraction in the shape
of captive grizzly bear. He was a
hungry-looking brute, about the size of
an ordinary COW, and was chained to a
post In the center of strong log pen.
The pen stood beside the tracks, about
200 feet from the station, and O recent
rainstorm had made a veritable mud
hole of 1t.
The bear was an object of lively in
terest and curiosity to the townpeople,
but more particularly to passengers Of
trains which stopped at Medicine Hat,
to change engines.
One day early in August the east
bound overland pulled in, and in few
minutes the occupants of several
coaches were viewing the grizzly, who
was shutting around his quarters,
looking very innocent and unconcerned.
His paws and shaggy coat were COW
cred with mud, and bruin was not a
thing Of beauty, still he appeared con-
tented, and seemed to enjoy being on
exhibition.
Now, a miscellaneous crowd Of men
has, as rule, at least one individual
in it belonging to the class known as
Smart Alecks." This gathering was
no exception, and the afore- mentioned
person soon manifested himself. He
began by grunting at the bear, and fol-
lowed that up by throwing sticks and
small stones at him. Failing to excite

others. Fixing a handkerchief on a
stick he Haunted 1t in bruins face and
tickled him on the nose with it, then
poked him in the ribs; but save an
occasional growl the bear did not seem
to mind his tormentor. One or two
gentlemen now advised the funny man
to desist, suggesting that his bearship's
patience probably had limits Ignor-
ing the friendly warning, the fellow
waxed holder, and, coming close up to
the pen, thrust an arm in between the
logs. Then the long suffering bear saw
his opportunity and improved it. Sud-
denly and with startling swiftness he
reared on his hind legs until he doomed
high above the astonished man, and
! then, with deep growl of anger, he
struck fiercely at his prosecutor. For
breathless second the man stood be-
reft Of the power of motion; then, with
a scream of fright, he tried to draw
back, but too late. The enormous bear
| caught his arm in a glancing fashion,
| shredding his coat and shirt sleeves,
and scoring several ugly scratches in
the flesh. while an avalanche of mud
and filth descended on his luckless
head, fairly obliterating his features,
and thickly smearing the whole upper
part of his person. The bears revenge
was complete. Swift and sudden JUS
tice had been meted out, and with
| shaken nerves and ruined clothes the
smart man made his way to the train,
while some unfeeling men in the crowd
| laughed outright, and the grizzly lay
down with what resembled sigh of
relief.
! The Canadian Pacific east-bound
overland bore that day man who was
not only sadder and wiser, but whose
propensity for stirring up the ami
mails had received decided shock

New York, Feb. 10.-The most inter-
esting feature of to-day's stock mark
ct was the manner in which it regard
ed the Spanish minister's resignation.
In view Of the sensitiveness in the
recent past to everything connected
with the Cuban question, it's disregard
of an incident involving so acute a
phase of feeling Is noteworthy. The
view taken Of the subject in Wall street
was that the possibility of danger in it
had been avoided by the firm and
prompt manner in which the govern
ment had acted. Prices consequently
advanced from the opening. Higher
quotations from London gave an impe-
,tus to the opening rise. There was no
general set back from the opening to
the close of the market The only
thing approaching it was an occasional
pause in the advance, but this was
simply due to a falling off in the buy
ing and not to heavy offerings. Upon
renewal Of activity the upward
movement began again. Advances
were not uniform and were not stimuli
taneous. Considering the volume of
the trading for the day, the advances
in some stocks are notably small. In
those which show large gains the
movements were, made at different
times during the. day, first one and
then another stock or group of stocks
being taken up and pushed. The local
traction securities scored the largest
advances and showed the heaviest
dealings of any group in the list. Met
tropolitan Street Railway duplicated
its movements of yesterday with rise
of Az points on rumors of special ben
Gifts in the shape of privileges in a
further issue Of stocks Manhattan
was at one time over points up, but
was feverish at the advance. Third
avenue rose 21s and Brooklyn Transit 2.
The strength of the market showed a
tendency to run to the specialties, and
Tobacco, General Electric, Western
Union and Susquehanna and Western
preferred were conspicuous in the
days movement. Pullman added
points to It's remarkable advance. The
| mainstay of the, market was the re-
newed buying on a large scale of New
York Central and the strength of
| Northwest, Omaha and the other Van
derbilt stocks. The grangers as a
group were strong, Burlington leading.
| Noteworthy advances were also scored
| by Louisville, Grand Island and the
| Hooking Valley stocks. Adams Ex-
press was bid up % points over yester-
days bid price without eliciting any Of
| fers, American Express sold ~ points
| over the last sale and was bid up
points higher. There was a further
easing in money rates to-day and ster-
ling exchange continued firm.
The recent slight reaction in specula-
tive bonds terminated to-day and the
general movement was again strongly
upward on very large business. 1t was
reported that $1,000,0OO worth of q
single issue have been taken for Lon
don account. Total sales $4,s90,000.

NO FURTHER BIBLICAL DIREC-
TIONS.

An account of the successful and
very forcible resistance by the late
Bishop of Sodor and Man of two high
waymen on lonely Manx road has re-
called somewhat similar story of Sell
wyn, the good and famous first Bishop
of New Zealand.
Selwyn who was gentle and sweet in
his life as well rs most earnest and en-
terprising in the propagation of the
Gospel among the barbarians of the
South Pacific, was firm friend of the
Maori natives of New Zealand, and
took their part publicly in a dispute
which they had with the English set
tiers. This naturally incensed the low
er order of settlers, who were trying to
get the Maoris' lands.
One evening, when Bishop Selwyn
was walking in the streets of Auckland,
he. was accosted by a drunken English
man who, after abusing him for the
part he had taken in behalf of the ma
tives, gave him blow across the right
cheek. The Bishop stood in astonish-
ment, and then, turning to his assail-
ant his left cheek, said:
ASCW, IolulC ISIiS luS Ludt
when my enemy strikes me on one
cheek must turn to him the other; so
I will obey its commands"
Upon this the ruffian, seeking the adj
miration of the group of his synpathiz-
ers who had assembled, struck the
Bishop a severe blow, on the left cheek
saying: .'Oh, Mr.. Bishop, that's what
your Bible tells you, is it?''
The Bishop turned pale. His exam
pie of patient forbearance had been
quite lost ON the ruffian and the crowd
The time had come for the assertion OF
the physical force which, In his college
days, had won for him the title of. 1.-THE
great George Selwyn." The Bishop
said:
Yes, that's what my Bible tells me
to do to the coward that has struck me
once. But, sir, after that it gives me
! no directions as to what I am to do
and am consequently at liberty to act
on my own judgment"
Thereupon he took off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves, and pitched into" the
ruffian in athletic style. The mob was
bound to see fair play, and besides, its
sympathies had now gone over to the
| side of the Bishop.

Accused of Brutally As saulting w. Gilmore, a
 BOOkkeeper.
After the Beating He Is Thrown in Prison on Two Misde-
 meanOr Charges.
BOTH CASES DISMISSED.
Officer Peter Gillen Also Accused O Similar Misconduct by Charles
 Williams.

W. H. Gilmore, a bookkeeper, wis ited police headquarters last night, and preferred charges against Oftlcer John Crowley of the Seventeenth hstreet sta ton.
 According to Gillmore's story he was walking along Howard street on New Years morning, accompanied by seve- ral friends. Meeting Policeman Crow ley, Gilmore, who is acquainted with him, started to josh" him. For re- ply Crowley, it is claimed, drew his club and struck Gilmore across the face, breaking his nose and discoloring both his eyes. He then handcuffed him and took him to the City Prison where he was charged with vulgar lan- guage and disturbing the peace.
 When the case was called next day in Judge Joachimsen's court Gilmore was discharged. In telling his story last night Gilmore declared that Crow ley owed him money and as he re- fused to pay him he threatened to bring him before the Commissioners.
 After learning of my intention" re- marked the injured bookkeeper, he told a friend that he would do me up at the first opportunity. My friends
 
 street, celebrating the advent of the New Year, when Crowley appeared He ordered us to stop singing ana when l made some flippant reply he drew his club and with an oath struck me across the face.
 Although partly dazed by the blow l told him that the assault was wholly unwarranted and asked him for an ex- planation. For a reply he seized me by the throat and after choking me he placed his handcuffs on my wrist. l was then taken to the City Prison and formally charged. After hearing the testimony in the case Judge Joachimsen promptly discharged me and severely criticized the officer for what he termed his unseemly conduct.
 Gilmore still bears the marks caused by the policeman'S club. His nose is hopelessly broken and discoloration under the left eye bears silent testi- mony to the brutal treatment which he received. To-day he will formally prefer charges against his assailant.
 Policeman Peter Gillen of Captain Wittmans division has been cited to appear before the Police Commission CTS tomorrow night. Like Crowley he is accused of breaking a mans nose during a row. His victim is Charles Williams of 1924 Pacific street.
 Williams in his complaint, which was filed yesterday, declares that Gillen on New Years morning struck him with his clenched fist, breaking his nose. He then placed him under arrest for dis turbing the peace. Desk Sergeant Brown refused to receive him until his nose was patched up, and he ordered him taken to the Receiving Hospital. To the surgeon who dressed his nose Williams gave his name as Joseph Kel- ly. He was afterward taken to the city prison and formally booked. The | following day his case was heard by Judge Conlan. and he was discharged | from custody.
 The accused officer is the brother of | Captain Gillen of the Seventeenth | street station and is held in high esteem by his superior officers.

grossly exaggerated or made out of death with feelings of forgiveness in his heart for all people, as he expect ed and hoped for from his God. He received the sacraments with a do- cility and the simplicity of a child, and on his pended knees he told the story of his life to his God and his confessor.
 Now about the belief of some that he died with a lie on his lips. He ever could I believe he died with lie on his lips? Some people exaggerate this into the malice of a mortal sin that would damn his soul. I do not take that view of the case, and I think many people who talk of him create a greater sin against charity that he did against truth, even admitting that lying. Durrant injured no one by it, even if he did tell a lie. He had no blame for any person. He cast uo suspicion on any one. He did not in- jure the State. The State and the people got their pound of flesh and made him atone for his crime if guilty. I have already said too much last reference to it. Now that I have spoken I think it best to give the whole story as it is. Now that he is dead I hope that a morbid public will let his memory rest in peace"

A POPULAR
 APPOINTMENT
Ina D. CoOlbrith Elected Libra rian of the Mercantile
 Library.

A popular appointment was made last evening, when Ina D. Coolbrith, a poet ess of local and foreign fame, was chosen Librarian of the Mercantile Li- brary, to succeed Henry R. Coleman. Miss Coolbrith, who is a resident of Oakland, was for years the librarian of the Oakland Free Library, and her labors inevitably resulted in satiSfac- tion. For the past few months she has been favorably mentioned for the posi- tion which she will now hold. and last evening her many friends were satisfied to hear of her appointment.
 Miss CoClbrith has not only had an extended experience as a librarian, but has for years been identified with the best literary life of the coast. Her po- etry is so delicate and true as to have excited much admiration among critics, and had the writer lived in the East. or possessed the faculty of seeking ap- plause. her fame would have been even greater than 1t at present is. Miss Coolbrith has not been strong of late, and few months ago reports of her failing health excited much apprehen- sion, 1t being thought at one time that she would never again be equal to the routine of official duty.

The Body of Durrant to Be

 The body of Theodore Durrant will be sent to Los Angeles this afternoon for cremation. Last night arrange ments were made with the Southern California Crematory Association for the disposition of the remains of the executed murderer. Porter Bros, the undertakers who have charge of the work of preparing the body for it's re- turn to earth, were notified to arrange the remains for shipment south, and to-day early they will take all that is left of the dead man from the residence of the Durrants, on Fair Oaks street, and place it in a metal-lined casket and send it away on the afternoon train. MT. Durrant said yesterday that he had faint hope of the crematory of the south accepting it. Late in the afternoon dispatch was received from the managers of the Crematory Asso- citation of the south that the body would not be received by them, but a few hours later another message was received, saying that the body would be cremated at Los Angeles, and it will be sent on to-day.
 On the receipt of the first message from the south MT. Durrant commence

The last will of Dr. James I. Stanton was filed for probate yesterday. Dr. John Gallwey is named as the sole leg atee and eXecutor of the will, with full power to sell and otherwise dispose of the property as he sees fit. The tes- tator directed that $4O00 of his estate be set aside from which his sister, Mrs. F. Barron, might monthly draw $200 until she had settled her financial affairs. After that time when she saw her way clear she might re- turn the money to pr. Gallwey but in the will it was requested that no incon- venience should be caused her in the repayment of the money. The will is dated December 26. 1897, two days prior to the death of the testator and shows that hand trembling with dis ease directed the pen that told the wishes of the deceased.

 AS to the reports of Durrant having made a confession of the murders to me during religious confession I have nothing to say. A question asking me if he did or not is one that l cannot answer. No power on earth can com pei a priest to disclose anything heard in sacramental confession. His lips are sealed for or against his penitent. question. I can say, however, that on every occasion when he talked openly to me as a man and a citizen and a friend he protested his innocence, and while in the beginning l was more or less prejudiced against him I confess that in the end he so gained my con- viction that 1 believed him thoroughly innocent.
 Lately many people, and among them prominent lawyers of San Ra- fael. told me that Durrant did not re- ceive the trial he should have had, and that they would not hang him or any other man under the circumstances by which the dead man went to the scaf- fold.
 "Durrant always treated me in a most respectful and gentlemanly way. l must say the same of MT. Durrant, the father, and also of Mrs. Durrant. I will also publicly state that most of the newspaper reports of the proceed ings in the condemned cell were

SAYS DOW WAS MURDERED.
A Brother of the Dead Man Scouts tbe Police Theory of
 Suicide

William Dow, the brother of John H. Dow, who was found dead in his shoot ing gallery at 815 Kearny street on the evening of the 2d instant, arrived here from Nebraska City. Nebraska Sun day and is thoroughly convinced that his brother was murdered Working on this theory it is his intention to em- ploy every means he can to ferret out the guilty party and bring him to jus tice.
 Jack" he said, "was not the kind of man to think of killing himself, and I don't believe he did. Some of his friends here have told me that he was Respondent a short time before his death, but l doubt this very much, as | he was a man who always looked on the bright side of everything.
 T believe that Jack had more money than has been discovered so far I know that he was paid in the neighbor- hood of sS0 only a few days before his death, and this has not been accounted | for at all. He had three rings and none of these have been found. so if the police want a motive work on the robbery theory as chance shot.
 We had letter from Jack about | two months ago and he was in the best of spirits then and evidently had plenty of money, for he said that if we needed any he could help us out l have not seen the books kept by my brother, but as soon as 1 look over them I can tell whether he had been doing any business, as I used to be with him and knew his system of keeping his | accounts.
 l When I was coming out here last
 week I met a gentleman on the train. whose name l do not care to give at | present, who told me that he had seen
 the girl, Babe Wilson, in the city but | short time before Jack was shot
 From this l doubt the report which has been circulated that she is in China
 II understand that the police force | think Jacks death was case of sui
 eide, but nothing can convince me that | he killed himself and until the contra ry is proved I will always believe that l he was murdered. Believing as I do. I intend to employ detectives to inves- tigate the matter. and will leave no l stone unturned to find out the truth. 1 and if it was murder I will endeayor

Will Not Stop With His Death.
 Louis P. Boardman. one of the coun- sel in the Durrant case, will remain in Washington until Wednesday and then leave for San Francisco via the South ern route. He said tonight that al though Durrant's attorneys had failed to save him from the gallcws, they would at least continue their efforts to establish his innocence, and expressed the opinion that there might now be reaction of public sentiment, and that his prosecutors might show a different spirit. It is believed that MT. Board man and lis associates will make thorough investigation of the alleged confession of Blanther.
 MT. Boardrnan expressed indignation when he read the report from San Francisco that the crematories there objected to incerating Durrant's remains. Il have a burlal lot of my own in San Francisco said he, and the body can be buried there if his parents wish it.''
