The Belgian hare as q fad 10 thing
of the past. The craze is over and now
the dangers lurking in it are beginning
to suggest themselves seriously to the
public mind. 1t Is realized that an
animal possessed of such wonderful fe-
cundity is liable to become destrnct
i've pest if it escapes from captivity.
Repressiye legislation is. therefore,
deemed necessary. The board of sup.
ervisors Of San Diego county has taken
the initiative by passing an ordinances
prohibiting the liberation of q Belgian
hare or permitting one that may have
escaped to remain ut large or uncon.

ago q Pluto Indian, armed with only 2
knife, met and overcome one Of these
monsters. The Indian was living at
last accounts, but the bear WAS dead.
Mustang is the Indians name. he
and another Piute were out in q tre-
mendously wild region of the Hetch-
Hetchy valley and when descending
the bed of gorge they almost ran into
the jaws Of the largest grizzly they had
ever seen. Mustang and his companion
fired their rifles at the brute, but the
two shots produced no more effect IN
arresting the bears charge than would
the throwing of a pebble against the
wind stop cyclone. Mustang was
step in advance of his companion and
bruin reached MIN first, knocking his
gun one way and him the other. The
companion climbed tree. Mustang
plunged his knife to the handle into the
shaggy monster. slashed 1t again and
again across his rough hide, ripped ana
cut until blood poured from dozen
gashes in the herculean carcass; then
he fell under crushing blow from one
of the spiked paws and lay quivering
on the rocks with the bear tearing
strips of hide from his back and chew
ing his arms and shoulders to pulp.
Meantime Mustangs friend was vain
IL trying to get his rifle into working
order. 1t had been injured when ne
climbed the tree. From morning I'LL
night this condition lasted. The bear
soon left the mangled remains of Nus
tang and numbered in red vengeance
over to the tree where perched the
other Indian. After trying in vain TO
climb he limped back to Mustang, but
before he could tear the man to pieces
the Indian, who was by no means dead
yet, drove the knife into his enemys
yftals. The bear staggered off few
yards and then, overcome by the fear
of death which comes instinctively to
all animals, staggered down the gorge.

Good cider differs greatly from that
made of inferior apples. Instead oil
using half-rotten apples select those
that are perfect and fully ripe. When
the cider is running from the press
strain it thoroughly. Use lard barrels,
first cleaning the lard from the barrel,
but should little adhere to the sides
it will be an advantage. Keep the
barrel in cool place and allow no air
to enter other than that which forces

Colonel Wickham Dead.

Col. VIM. F. Wickham died at BIZ
home i'll Powhatan county on Thurs
day night Of last week from the effects
OF the pistol shot wound received in
bis head Sunday, March 1S, though il
had been thought he was improving
steadily. It may never be known
whether the shooting of Col. Wickham
was accidental or not. His family and
friends think it was murder, as there
was no reason for him to wish to die.
but the general impression is that in a
moment of nervous excitement and
lrresponsibility he fired the shot which
has proved fatal. He was alone at the
time. Col. Wickham was a son of
Gen. Williams G. Wickham, and was a
younger brother of Senator Henry T.
Wlckham. He was about 40 years of
age. and was educated at the Univer-
slty of Virginia. Col. Wickham had
long been active in Republican politics,
and would probably have been nomi-
mated for Congress in the Foruth dis
trict next fall. He was referee in
bankruptcy in that district. He mar.
rled Miss Olds, of Powhatan. who
survives him, with three children.
