from Bloemfontein says:
THE period OF inaction is coming to an
end. Troops are being pushed to the front
and transports and stores are being col

thoritative."

dispatch from Kroonstaadt, Commandant
Olivier has joined Generals Groblaar and
Lemner, who are safe. General Delarey

Bear Stories.

Sixty years ago, (maybe better-an
ways it was when Harvey Miller was a
kid two big, black bears strolled into
Butler early one summer morning, and
Sam Beatty and Tom Mechling took af
ter them and chased them clear up To
Fairview twp. Harvey and the other
small boys of that day weren't up early
enough to see the bears, but they saw
their tracks. THAT was the first of a
dozen or so told by a group of profes-
sionals, sitting under the maple, the
other afternoon What the two bears
wanted in Butler was never found out.
Then II. Fl. Goucher told of a bear
freeing him when he was a kid. His
dog left the corn patch and followed af-
ter something in the woods, Goucher
followed the dog from curiosity, and
the bear came at him and he skinned up
maple and stayed there till his father
| rescued him. That wasn't much oveI
so years ago. Then he told another OF
helping an old hunter to kill a griZZley
in the mountains near Seattle. When
you wound a griZzley he comes right at
| You and you must stand right up tC
your work and fight him. To run il
almost sure death.
Then John c. Christy told of his un.
Gle fighting a she bear, in the woods neal
Greece City, and capturing her two
cubs, and making pets of them; and an
other time of shooting two young bear
| off a tree.
Some more bear stories, that our re
porter could not remember, on account
of the heat making him drowsy, were
| told, and then the talk degenerated tC
wild cat, deer and fish stories, and h'
was fast asleep.

On Saturday the pipe line from the

well of water, and peace was declared.
Gen. Miller had threatened to make
Lake Conewango overflow, by throwing
! the narrow guage railroad into II, but
contented himself with telling the story
Of the Kentucky Colonel, who was dy-

On Monday the Division was reviewed
by Lieut.. Gen. Nelson 4. Miles, of the

ed his classic brow and suffered terribly
