BEAR FIGHTS IN ITALY,
New Sport Introduced By the

Bear fighting has become the new ma
tonal sport Of Italy. according to
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Times.
The origin was accidental. Some time
ago the young Prince of ,Molfetta bought
baby bear from q Karpathian hunter.
II he had been a peasant instead OF
prince, 1t is probable he would have
trained his savage pet to dance to the
music OF a hurdy gurdy. In that case

master would be in the streets Of Phil

pennies from small boys in knickerbock-
ers and little girls in pinafores. But, be-

attributes, with a princely ambition for
their display under more congenial con-

Won Ont hy Nose.

A Brown university man Of the class
of '99, whose admiration for Latin and
Greek perhaps distances his love for
athletics, came very near losing his
degree because of the fact. Just before
the commencement young Mr.. Senior
engaged in a race for the coveted doc
ument which he probably will long re-
member. The college man won-won
out by nose. It happened this way:
The young man in question had
passed all the examinations and nat
urally was entitled to the parchment.
Two days previous to commencement,
however. he received notice from the
faculty to the effect that he had ne
elected his gymnasium duties suffi-
Gent number of days to foot up to half
term. AS the gymnasium course is
just as much a part of the college cur
rlcuium as any of the regular studies.
and as the senior had not made up the
half-term collection of "cuts," he
would not receive diploma, the notice
stated
The eleventh hour had arrived, but
the student did not lose heart on that
account. Bright and early one morn
ing he entered the gymnasium hall.
took off his coat and commenced
swinging dumbbells, jumping hurdles,
etc. All day long, until after sunset, he
worked away for dear life and the de-
gree, and before he left the building
he had the satisfaction of knowing that
the morrow would find him on the
platform with the rest of '99, awaiting
his turn to receive the Freedoms doe
ument.
This is said to be the narrowest es-
cape ever recorded at the college.

him for his action. We certainly are

MARSHAL RYAN EXPLAINS.
Fully Exonerates Himself From Blame In
Hold-up AFFAIR.


VAIL, Iowa, Aug. 6, 80.
EDITOR REvIEw:-The last issue OF
your paper contains an article in refer
ence to an alleged robbery Of boy by
negro with comments upon my Off
cial action. I have no wish to engage
in newspaper controversy, but be-
lieving that you would not Intentional
| ly make a mistatement, / will briefly
state the facts.
My first intimation of the affair was
from the depot agent who had been in
formed of the robbery by agent at Den
ison. Received no official communica-
tion from anyone. I arrested the negro,
and Immediately telegraphed the fact
to Denison. By train boy claiming
to have been robbed arrived without
any warrant or other papers, sent him
to a justice with instructions to swear
out an information and have warrant
issued. He returned saying: 81 don't
want to send the fellow over the road
and won't prosecute him. Get me two
dollars back to pay my way TO Dakota
and let him keep the rest"
On searching the negro found no
pistol or other weapon but four dollars
and quarter in cash; of this twenty
five cents was paid for his supper, one
dollar for my fees and three dollars the
boy took away with him. The boy
says he was robbed about two O'Clock
and remained in Denison until eight
allowing six hours for any official ac-
tion. Nothing was said by either the
justice or myself as to making costs for
the county. The boy having refused
to prosecute, the money having been
refunded and no officer claiming the
negro either personally or by telegram,
I let him go about ten O'Clock in the
evening.
From what the boy and negro told
me both were tramps making their way
along the road from one place to an
other. Respectfully,
M p. RYAN,
Marshal of Vail.

Of pure bredhorses in the world,
died at Mercy Hospital today
from a complication of diseases.
1t was thirty years ago that Mr..
Durham began with sthe importa-
ton of Percheron horses from
France. His operations az a
breeder and importer assumed
gigantic proportions. He sub
sequently took up the importation
of the French coach horse and
collected in France lot of mares
and stations that as whole is
conceded to be superior to any
similar collection in France.
He won with his horses more
champion prizes in the showing
than any other breeder has ever
won in the history of the show

RIGHT OF The MINORITY
Important Decisions on Rights of
Stockholders.
Chicago Judge Rules That Books Cannot Be
Withheld Object Of Stockholders
Cannot Be Questioned.

Chicago, Feb. ia decision
which experienced lawyers say is
of far-reaching importance in fix
ing the rights of minority stock
holders in their relations with
corporation officials has been
handed down by Judge Tuley, of
the Circuit Court in dissolving
the injunction issued in January
restraining Lewis b. Perrin, a
stakeholder in the Rodger Ballast
Car Company from bringing
mandamus proceedings against
the company to compel the direc-
tors to allow him to examine the
corporation records.
The suit, which is unprecedent-
ed in the records of American
jurisprudence, was begun by the
car company on January 18th,
when an ex-parte injunction was
issued by Judge Tuthill. The
injunction was sought on the as
sertion that Perrin would reveal
the price paid by the company
for manufacturing its patented
cars and the amount at which
they were sold to the railroad
companies, which is regarded by
the Company as a trade secret,
which il divulged to the pur-
chasers, would ruin the business
of the company.
La his decision Judge Tuley
held that under the law a single
stakeholder has the right to ex
anime the books and the records
OF The corporation of which he
was shareholder and that the
corporation officials have no right
in court of equity to attempt to
restrain such examination by in
junction.
In conclusion, Judge Tuley
said: I'm these days of gigantic
combinations of corporations in
the shape of trusts for the pur-
pose of secretly carrying on and
exercising franchises granted by
State governments-and this in
defiance of prohibitory statutes
1t is OF the utmost importance
that this right of stakeholder to
examine the workings and methods
OF such combinations be given a
liberal construction. 1t, if not his
only, is the greatest safeguard
which the law provides against
mismanagement or treachery on
the part of those in control.
"rhe underlying claim of equity
in this bill is the right of directors
to conceal from stockholders the
information as to the manner in
which they are using the prop
erty, the remedy sought in in
junction being to prevent him
from enforcing legal right to
obtain that information.
'The court will not enjoin
feared or threatened lawsuit.
The contention of the complain
ant is not based on good law nor
good equity. The injunction must
be dissolved"

A Il! THOSE were happy days when
n Gaspard Meudon was fisher
nan! From the peaceful village OF
Bizon the fishing fleet sailed, to re-
lurn loaded with the spoil OF the sea
which the good God had provided for
man. Siyery. 1.-THE and cleaning, the
fish came into the boat, only to pant
their little lives away, for often the
men were lucky, and il was as much

vet no one gave them a thought; the
fish are the fruit of the sea, 10 be gath
cred by the fishers, and they risk their
lives in reaping the harvest.
When summer came, and the sea,
like the skies, was Haunting its royal
tints OF deepest. brightest blue, and
the lazy wind would not lift the sails,
II seemed q dreamy life to Gaspard;
the older hands would tell the young
ones tales of countries far away which
they had seen when they had been
serving in the warships, as any OF the
fishermen might be called upon TO do.
But when winter came. and the great
waves threatened to swallow up the
little fisher boats, there was no leisure
for recounting stories while at sea,
for each one had TO strive and heed
for the safety Fl all, and to pray 10 the
saints that they might be guided out
of troublous waters, and home again
TO dear Bizon. Sometimes. while In
their midst. one Of the fleet would
stagger and disappear. and the white

listened would sit round, open

They were a brave and generous
race. the fishers OF Bizon. and courage
was born in every babe Of them;
through generations they had battled
with the sea. growing braver and
harder. and SO the government priced
them. and always some OF the Bizon
men were away in the warships.
And then a day came when Gaspard
had to leave home and kindred to join
the Marine depot, and all his dreams
Of mermaids. and foreign lands and
wealth, and power were sunk in the
sorrow Of parting from all he held
dear. II seemed to him that when he
left Bizon he would 30 from the world

At the depot he found many who,
