WAS HARD TO KILL
BEAR SURVIVED LEAD AND A
 PRECIPlCE.
Required Chase Up Canyon and
 More Lead - California Fisherman Rudely Interrupted by Big Brown Bear with an Ugly Disposition. Q

From the San Francisco Chronicle: While fishing last Sunday near the head of Squaw Creek, in Sonoma coun- ty, party of San Francisco and Glow erdale sportsmen were attacked by a huge brown bear. Luckily they were armed, and soon halted bruin in his nerce charge by some well-directed shots After long chase through dense underbrush and among pitfalls and precipices the bear was killed. The weight of the brute was 4671z pounds. The members of the party were Steve Giannetoni. Fred D. Spaulding, John F. Duane of San Francisco and George H. Hall and John Arnold of Cloverdale. They had been camping and fishing for 1 three days near the Geysers. Last Sunday they pushed on up toward the headwater of Squaw Creek, and not far from the limits of Lake Mendocino and Sonama counties. Tn search of like ly spot in which to cast their lines, the fishermen were crossing Running Bird canyon, when one of them caught sight of the great brown creature ad- vaneing toward them. There was no time for the digging of trenches. Quickly they unslung their guns, and each one took careful aim, first select ing tree that could easily be climbed. On numbered the big fellow until he was turned by shot from Spaulding's rifle. A second later George Hall pink ed the plantigrade just behind the left shoulder. whereupon the bear col- lapsed, lost his footing and went tumbling to the bottom of the canyon far below, carrying with him great rocks and bushes uprooted in his swift descent. Even then the bear was not done for. He scrambled to his feet, growing fercely, and made off toward the head of the canyon, followed by the dog of the party and all five of the men, of whom Hall was the fast. est runner. Fully half mile away Hall came upon the quarry, nearly ex- hausted. He was finished by the nim- ble Hall at close range Halls break neck race through the thick chaparral and over the stones had left him al~ most devoid of clothing, and this fact. together with his scratched-up face, led the slower members of the party, who soon arrived, to believe that he hat had a hand-to-hand encounter with the bear.

The Trekking Wagon.

The South African wagon is 6 long. heavy cart mounted on four wheels, as a rule, with sort of canvas tent over the back half. leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of its owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen, curiously ierce-look- ing with their immense spread of horn, sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six, but In reality as patient and hard-working beasts as one could wish to lind. Their mode of progression is certainly slow, but there Is g strangeness and a fas- cination about It which may draw men to it almost as the Alps draw their devoeees In ont there marches the "voorloopsr." generally small boy leading the two foremost oxen by, 6 rein or rope passed through their nos trils. The driver walks alongside with the long and terrible whip he uses so unsparingly, or else sits on the front of the wagon and gets of occasionally to lash up the whole team with unfail- ing impartiality. The travelling is all done at night starting little before sunset and marching until perhaps Il or F o'clock; then there is halt till a little before the first signs of dawn, when they go on again till the sun be- gins to get hot overhead, and then they lie for the day.-GentlemAn's Naga.

Crow Most at Night.

It is curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement.
 Measure a vine at night, then meas ure it again in the morning and the next night. and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day.
 During the day the plant is very busy gathering nourishment from va- yious sources, and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life.
 The same fact is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night.
 In the day time, while the child is awake and active, the system is kept busy disposing of the wastes conse- quent on this activity; but during sleep the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn-out particles hence the rapid growtL.

Both Congressman Cushman and Sena-

probably fifty letters have been sent them

Gov. Rogers Is said to have recently ex-

An officer of the National Guard. in
speaking Of the matter, said yesterday:
Everyone knows that more troops will
be needed 20 queli the Philippine insurrec-

made by the National Guard members OF
Washington. Oregon and California to
have "A regiment recruited from each OF

The validity OF tho city ordinance re-
qutring secondhand goods dealers TO

such record open for inspection by the
public was sustained by Judge Jacobs. of
the superior court yesterday in the case
OF the city VS.. Max Rickles.
RickIes II a secondhand dealer. and
was convicted In Justice Cams court of
a violation OF the ordinance and fined. He
appealed 10 the superior court. raising on
the appeal the question OF the validity OF
the ordinance. Judge Jacobs holds that
the regulation made by the city in tho
exercise of It's police power Is just and
reasonable and should be upheld by the
courts.
Judge Jacobs did not pass upon the
validity Of another section OF the ordi-
nance which requires second hand dealers
10 report daily to the chief Of police CON
corning all goods purchased by them In
