KEYSER, w. Va, October %
A gruesome find was made by a party
of Keyser bear hunters, who return ed
yesterday from the Canaan wilderness,
in Tucker county, where they had been
hunting bear and deer during the past
week. Away in the Businesses of the
forest where few men save the lovers
of hunting wild animals have ever
penetrated were the bones of a skele-
ton scattered amidst the laurel and
pine. Near by was pair of shoes, ap-
parently about half worn. 1t is believ-
ed that some one has been killed by
wild beasts or murdered and hidden in
the mountains.

Disturbance IA Is. * o Train.
Joe Hess. of st. Clairsville and Char
les Bransfeld, of Glencoe, were arrest
ed last evening by B. & o. officers and
brought to this city on a charge of
raising a disturbance on q train. 1t
appears that for time there has been
some feeling of bitterness existing be-
tween the miners at these two places,
and usually when the men come into
town and get to drinking, quarrels are
started between the two factions. Sew
eral from each place were in town Sun
day and serious trouble was narrowly
averted several times When the train
started the majority of the men were
fairly well loaded with bad whisky and
ready to fight. Soon someone started
the mill by making sighting remarks
of the others and the train was soon
turned into rough house" Fists and
beer bottles were used very freely and
the floor looked like slaughter house
in less tnan five minutes. At least a
dozen men took part in the fray and
all were more or less injured. War
rants have been issued for several 9TH
er parties and they will likely be ap-
pretended to-day. Hess plead guilty
and was fineo $50 and costs. On adj
vice the other changed his plea to
guilty and was assessed SIS and costs.
The latter. it seems, was too drunk to
know what really happened.

WILD BEASTS IN BATTLE.
Two Panthers and a Sea Lion in a
Fight to the Death.

Two Panthers and a Sea Lion in
Fight to the Death.
Among all fights of wild beasts per-
perhaps the most terrible are those in
which the combatants belong to differ
ent elements. The struggle then seems
peculiarly Wanten and unnatural. Not
long ago two men on a small island OIL
the California coast declared that they
witnessed such a battle. The men We're
amusing themselves watching the an
tics of a number of sea lions on reef
when all at once the creatures began
to below in alarm and dived into the
water. One huge fellow alone stood his
ground and moved his head slowly, as
If watching.
A moment later the men saw creep
ing from the shadow of rock two
large panthers, which had evidently
swan over from the mainland in search
of prey.
simultaneously the panthers leaped
upon their enemy and a terrible combat
ensued. For nearly thirty minutes it
went on, till the reef was skirted with
crimson foam.
Twice the lion struck a panther
squarely with his ripper and knocked
him a dozen feet away. But the great
cats kept to their work, and finally
one Of them buried his teeth in flipper
of the sea lion, and tore it off with q
single savage tug.
Believing hoarsely with pain and an
ger, the wounded bull caught the pan
TIERS throat between it's jaws and
dragged him into the water, but the big
brute was weak from loss Of blood.
The panther escaped and, with its
mate, swan off to mainland across the
narrow channel while the sea lion
struggled out toward the ocean to die.
The men went down to examine the
field of battle. A hole deep enough to
bury a horse had been dug in the soft
mud, while the shore was stained
blood red-San Francisco Call.

Fell 100 Feet; Broke Arm.

Emmett Knight, IS years old, Of
Brooklyn, lives to tell the experience
of a fearful fall recently from the new
East River bridge. That, he was not in
stantly killed is miraculous. He fell
from the structure to the street, a dis
lance of 1O5 feet, and several persons
who saw him slip and plunge headlong
through the air ran to the spot expect
ing to find his mutilated body. Instead,
he raised himself on his arm and asked
that a doctor be summoned.
Knight is employed as an apprentice
riveter on the bridge. He was walk
ing along the ironwork toward the Will
hamsburg end, at Durham place and
South Sixth street, when his foot Slip
ped on some grease.
He tried desperately to regain his
balance. Women who were looking out
of the windows screamed as they saw
the boys peril He swayed an instant
before he lost his balance, then both
feet slipped and he plunged downward.
He landed on q pile of sand beneath
the structure and lay motionless. Men
who had witnessed the accident hurried
to the spot.
Knight was not only alive but con-
scious. An ambulance was summoned
from the Eastern District hospital and
DR.. Hoffman found Knights right arm
broken and Commissions on his hip. At
the hospital Knight said according to
the New York World, that the seconds
during which he sought TO recover him
self were agonizing. He said that it
flashed through his brain that to fall
meant death. He had little conscious
ness of his flight through the air.

HORROR OF TIE MASSACRE.
Lieuten ant Allison Tells of the S1augh-
ter on Sauar,

Among the arrivals at Victoria, B. c.,
by the steamer Empress of China from
the Orient was Lieut.. +. +. Allison of the
United States navy, on his way home
from Manila. Speaking of the massacre
of the members of the Ninth infantry at
Samar he said the natives had grown to
like the colored troops who had been sta
toned there and when the Ninth arrived
1t was thought by the American troops
that the same friendly feeling would be
shown to them and the guard was not as
strictly kept as it otherwise would have
been.
The night before the massacre the vii
lage presidente came to Capt. Council
and before the padre declared that it
would take 100 more bombres (native Ia
borers) to do certain pioneer work. He
did not have the men and begged the in
diligence of the army captain. Honest
and true in the legitimate discharge of
his duty, Capt. Council said
''Do the best you can. Get any native
who will work, but clear away the under
brush"
Just before daybreak the natives with
bolos to cut inderbrush began coming in
to camp. Then the massacre began. The
last underbrush man killed the sentry,
the church bell rang, the soldiers went
to breakfast below the floor that held
their arms; the insurgents separated, half
went upstairs and shot down the men
there and the other half went in the
mess room and murdered the unarmed
soldiers by force of numbers.
Not one of the survivors turned his
back upon the scene of carnage until all
was lost-their officers fallen, their com
rades slaughtered and a terrible ven
geance executed upon the enemy.
