mother bear rushed to the defense. Wis
well thought and acted quickly. Placing
the cub between his knees and pinchlng It
until 1t squealed with pain, he took up his
rife and waited. The mother evidently
had seen firearms before. for she waited a
moment, standing up on her hind feet
and shaking her head as II undecided how
to act. Wiswell gave a harder squeeze with
his knees, and as the cub made his agony
known by loud bowls, the mother threw her
caution away and dashed on until a rifle ball,
hitting her in the mouth. finished her career.
The Wiswell home is a small one. There
are two rooms on the first floor; one OF which
Wiswell's unmarried sister occupies as a
sleeping apartment. After the old bears
skin had been treated with alum, salt and
red pepper to keep out the moths, 1t was
spread on the floor by the side of Miss Wis
wells bed. One night after the captured cub
had been chained In the barn until 1t was
tame enough to take its food from the hand,
Miss Wiswell found a surprise awaiting her
when she entered her bedroom. In con-
tormity to a custom which she had followed
every night for twenty years. Miss Wiswell
looked under the bed to see II there was a
man concealed near the wall. She was
greatly shocked when, instead of the long
expected man, she saw something big and
black and hairy. snufing about on the bear
skin mat. She screamed twice and then
fell on the bed in a faint. When her brother
had brought her round again, and she had
told her story, he made a little investigation
on his own account, pulling out a young
bear from below the bed.
1t was the mate TO the captive cub, and 1t
had smelled out its mothers pelt.

IOWANS NAY COME EARLIER
General Byers Believes They Will Muster
Out on the Transport.
HOME IN THAT CASE IN ABOUT FIVE WEEKS
Northwestern and Milwaukee Freight
Trains Meet at Slater, Ia, and
Pile Up wrecknge- Three
Men Hurt.
HOME IN THAT CASE IN ABOUT FIVE WEEKS

DIES MONIES. Sept. Especial Tele-
gram.)-The Fifty-frst Iowa will reach
home at least three weeks earlier than has
generally been estimated. At least that is
the opinion of Adjutant General Byers, and
no one in the state is so well able to judge
of the probable action of the regiment as
he, fo- he has served most Of his life as a
member of it and knows the men like a
book. He says he feels not the slightest
doubt that they will vote to be mustered
out on board the transport while crossing
the ocean.
The government has ordered that a mus
tering officer be detailed to the transport
bringing the boys home, for the purpose Of
completing the muster rolls and paying
them off on the homeward journey and thus
obviatlng the necessity Of keeping them at
San Francisco for nearly a month after their
arrival. 1t has been left to them to say
whether they will be mustered out in this
manner. The government will thereby save
nearly a months pay to the entire regiment
and would prefer the boys accept the offer,
but at the same time the boys will be per-
mitted to remain in San Francisco the extra
month and receive the additional pay If
they so desire. In the latter event they
would not reach home until we'll along into
November, but IL they are mustered out on
the ocean they should get here about Oc-
tober Is.
1t is reasonably certain the ~privates will
be SO anxious to reach home that they will
not care to remain in San Francisco an ex-
ira month merely to receive SIS each. With
the officers the extra salary Is a more i'm
portant consideration and cannot be so
lightly sacrificed, but General Byers is Of
the opinion that they will be as anxious to
get home as the privates and even II they
are not the latter are in such majority that
their wishes win be regarded.
A collision occurred at Slater. a small
town north Of Des Moines, at an early hour
this morning between a Northwestern and
a Milwaukee freight train. The Northwest
ern ran into the Milwaukee at the depot
crossing in Slater and the cars OF the two
trains were piled up all around the depot.
Three men were hurt in the mix-up, Con-
ductor Condren of the Northwestern being
fatally so. He was taken to Boone, but his
home is in Belle PLANE. The engineer OF
the Northwestern was also dangerously in
jured. The tracks were blocked for five
hours.

HER LONG TRAMP.
Pilgrimage OF n woman Now
Ninety Years Old.

Mary Hurley, 90 years old, who walked to
this city from Bangor. Me-, to see La
fayette when he was in this country, and
who liked the experience so we'll that she
has repeated this trip every year since. says
the New York Tribune, was arralgned in
the Morrisania police court on a technical
charge OF vagrancy. Until this year the
woman has always succeeded in selling
enough lead pencils to furnish food and
lodging for herself.
The aged traveller arrived in fremont
~footsore and hungry. She made several vain
attempts to dispose OF her stock and finally
she asked a nights lodging of a woman
who promptly turned her over to the care
OF Patrolman Wood OF the Thirty-seventh
precinct, who locked her up in the Nor
risania police station.
In court the woman told so strange q
story that Magistrate Flammer discharged
her. The woman said she wanted to see
the Marquis de Lafayette In 1924 when he
came to this city and as she did not have
money enough, she decided TO walk down
from her home and sell pencils to buy her
food. She said she managed to have a
splendid time on her trip, saw the Marquis

treatment he told the court of him was
such that he was actually afraid OF his life
and recited an instance when he claimed

split his head open with 1t. His request
to be granted the custody of the three minor
children was denied and they were left with
the mother, who was also awarded a certain

BEAR UNDER HER BED.


Henry Wiswell OF Dedham, Me-. went to
the hillside pastures for blackberries, taking
his rife along in case he should see the
old she-bear that had been killing sheep
and soaring the women and children in
three townships. He had reached a thicket

Wiswell had been looking for a young hear

and make it do duty in place OF a watch

Fail to Get 1T Set Aside.
FORT DODGE, Ia, Sept. 9.-(Special
jury in the district court
today rendered a verdict in one Of the most
fiercely-contested will cases ever tried in
the Webster couuty courts. The will of the
late Henry Fox Of Glare when brought for
probate had been contested by four OF the
children. Henry Fox, an extensive land
owner, had left all his property to one son,
James Fox, for the alleged reason that he
had bee nmore kindly treated by James.
The four children thus disinherited brought
suit. claiming that Henry Fox was not OF
sound mind when the will was made and
that he had been subjected to undue infu-
ence.
The case has been over a week In the
courts and has attracted unusual interest
because Of the kind of testimony INTRODUCED
After being out twelve hours the jury re-
turned a verdict sustaining the will.
