IMPROMPTU BEAR BATTING
MIR. BLACK BEAR AND MR.. CHINA
MON BEAR RUN RIOT.
Bout With q Stuffed Wild Cat-Bruin
and Fox Hound Mix Things
Up Considerably.

There was an impromptu bear batting en-
tertainment at Schmid's bird store the night
before last. About two months ago Mr..
Schmid received a couple Of bear cubs from
Manitoba-a black and a cinnamon. Since
then they have been on exhibition in the
upper part of the store. and were made
more or less family pets. This went very
well so long as they were fat, clumsy cubs,
but as the hot weather came on they got
thinner. and at the same time larger and
more active. They developed a tendency to
spar with everything and everybody In
reach. and we're not averse to stand-up
rough and tumble If the opportunity came
their Way.
They began to be a cross between a nui-
sance and a menace, so they were tied up
and told to be good. They did not take the
advice kindly. Night before last the black
bear chewed his collar in half and started
On a tour Of investigation. The first thing
he fell afoul of, as circumstantal evidence
showed a stuffed wild cat inside the
door of the show room. He must have put
Up heated argument with the cat, for its
mangled corpse was found with the excel
sor filling sticking out, as though it had
sold its life dearly.
About this time Mr.. Gardiner, who runs

wreck of wire bird cage, picking the hair
and excelsior out of it's teeth. Gardiner

bear was recdlctrant, and there followed

both Schmid and Jacobs, the old Texas
hooking bird man. AS Jacobs naively de-
scribed it afterward, the bear was on top
about half the time but finally, at the
Expense of about suit and a half of
clothes, all of Gardeners pajamas, the bear
was made captive and put away for the
night.
The Cinnamon Bears Turn.
1t seemed to be a bad night for bears,
however, for a little after midnight the
cinnamon also escaped, and his first Off
cial act was to have a head on collision
for the night in the dog end of the es-
adjustment. The fox hound was not
stuffed with excelsior by considerable and
though he had not been brought up on bears
he gave a fine Corbett-like exhibition of
foot work and had the bear guessing for
several minutes BY the time the male
members of the family had responded to
TINS second riot call the bear and the dog
had stopped Sparring and had gone to
short arm work, mitigating and roughing
in the breakaway, regardless of Queens
berry or any other rules. For a time it
looked as though the dog would have the
best of 1t, and nobody cared to hamper his
chances by interfering, but the bear finally
Cuffed him full swing on the side of
the head and he quit like a regular looking
glass fighter. The dog had to be shipped
off to the hospital, where it took about
yard of adhesive plaster to patch him up
so as to hold water. The bear was cor

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 2.-The Times
says:
The first serious trouble between the
military and prospectors in the North
this year resulted in the arrest of over
100 of the miners who went to Topkuk,
about fifty miles south of Nome City.
The men had been forced to quit work
on the Topkuk Beach by the authori-
ties several days before, but the ground
here has proven to be rich, and they
went back to work again.
Ten of the prisoners were brought to
Nome on July 20 and released on bonds
The clash occurred July II. About a
week before over 100 miners were forced
to quit work along the beach at Topkuk
by soldiers who were landed from the
United States transport Seward Soldiers
were regularly detailed day and night
to guard the cliff from being torn away
by the miners who We're only too eager

beach, and with bayonets fixed attempted
to force the men to leave, but not a man
stirred. A parley ensued with the result
that thirty or forty miners submitted
to arrest and were put under guard
Others quickly took the places of the ar
rested ones and were in turn themselves
arrested until the soldiers have now more
than they can attend to.
A perpleXing problem now is how to
feed and house the arrested miners. If
they are not fed the soldiers are in dan
ger of being overpowered until relieved
by revenue cutters and transports.
This trouble is the elimination of a
contest of the creek claimants of No. 1,
of which there are two factions. One
faction claimed to have located the Tun-
dra claim in December last, and were
suffered to be in possession. The other
faction claimed that because the initial
monumnets of the first faction were set
on the beach and not on Tundra it was
not legal location and was not jumpa-
BILE, which they accordingly are alleged
to have done.

LIGHTNING ROD MEN
Std to Be Working a Graft Through
Wisconsin.

WINONA. Mimi, Aug. 2-(special.) y
Lightning rod agents are now at work on
q new swindIe in Wisconsin, and are said
to be heading this way. In the western
part of Sank county the agent first ap-
peared at the home of Edward Miller and
stated that he was in need of a horse
and desired to place rods on his resi-
dence, agreeing to put up five points and
to give $40 difference when he took the
animal. A contract was made out, sign
ed and sealed in an envelop bearing the
address of the agent. 1t was not long
before several men were at work on the
house, but arranged for only four
points. To this Mr. Miller objected
when the agent told him to produce the
contract, which he did, and Immediately
tore open the envelope The agent then
accused him of opening letter not bear
ing his own address and read the postal
law, which imposes fine of $500 for such
an act. Mr. Miller was frightened, and
the agent settled the matter by the farm
er giving his note bearing per cent in
terest. Several instances of a similar
nature arc reported from that vicinity.

A peculiar interest was lent to the hear
ing in the estate of Jennie Jones yester-
day, before Judge Harvey, in the probate
court, because of the part that holy writ

in the half world, and two of her class
testified yesterday to her possessing a

ing at an examination held on the I'd of

prove that Jennies Jones is none other
than Isabella Black, who was born In
County Tyrone, Ireland, in the sos, mar
ried to John Colvin there in 1869 and came
directly to America, where she separated
from her husband and took to another
life.

session Of Jennies Jones back In the sos
Molly Well, of the Hamilton household
testified that Jennie Jones had stated to
her~that the name in the Bible was her

sages from the Bible together, and she
remembered particularly the eighteenth
chapter Of st. John.
Edward Black a Presbyterian mission
airy of South Dakota who claims to be a
brother Of Isabella Black, was on the
stand in the afternoon. He said he had
last seen his sister in Ireland thirty-one
years ago, and that he had received two
letters from her. He had also heard from
the heart-broken husband shortly after
the woman left him. Mr.. Black was quite
overcome with emotion during the prog
Tses OF the examination, and at one time
II was necessary to take a recess for a
few minutes.
