Makes Fortune in Aiming Stocks and

Shrewd investment in Arizona min
ing properties has raised Rev. Larkin
A. Rockwell, pastor OF the West Pull
man M. e. church, from his position
as q struggling minister On a small
salary to a man of affluence. Several
years ago he began buying stock in
the Azurite, Irvine Beauties and other
old mines in Arizona His investments
turned out SO proftably that q short
time ago he was able to announce to
his congregation that he himself would
pay off the mortgage Of $4,000 which
rested over the little church where he
presided as pastor. At the same time
he resigned his salary, as he said his
own income was adequate for the sup
port of his family. Rev. Mr.. Rock
we'll was formerly pastor Of the Sec
ond Methodist church at Englewood.
When he accepted the call to West
Pullman he found that church incum-
bered by a mortgage and the congre-
CATION hardly more than able to keep
up the interest. The mining invest
ments Of Mr.. Rockwell are reputed to
have made him worth 100000. He is
at present in Arizona looking after
his investments. He has in view other
charitable dispensations on his return.

GREAT KNIFE WORK.

Mexican's Experience with o Herd Of
Antelope.
A Mexican freighter whose route
lies across the deserts Of New Mexico
and Arizona and who Is known as
Juan Riviera has many tales to tell Of
bloodcurdling adventures he has had
during his trips across the sands. AL
though considered to be as truthful as
the ordinary man by his acquaintance,
some of his stories would indicate that
he occasionally departs from the path
Of rectitude or else the road he travels
must be veritable paradise for hunt
ers. One Of his "reminiscences Is as
follows: while passing from Chi
huahua to Tucson, some fifteen years
ago, I encountered great herd, prob
ably thousand, of antelope, and this
accounts for the loss of my foreanger,
which you see is lacking two joints.
This herd was not far from a box
canyon, having very narrow entrance
when first saw it. By riding to and
fro, succeeded after an hour in get
ting them to enter the canyon, but as
the entrance was narrow could get
them in only one at time. After los
ing considerable time l got them all
in. To keep them eooped up, I began
to pile up stones at the opening, in
tending to leave the antelopes there
and notify my friends Of the CATCH
While at work the antelopes suddenly
turned on me and began to rush out.
There was not time enough to bar the
opening, so I grabbed my knife ana
stabbed them as they came out. Ante
lope are much like sheep, and follow
their leader, and came rushing through
30 rapidly that my arm was kept IN
motion like the crank shaft on a wind
mill. wore out the knife, then the

70 o Eini,h Between q Big Bear and
Husky Negro.
While at Batesville last week the
writer was told Of a genuine mix-up
between Edward Brown, a worthy and
well-to-do colored man living 10 miles
west OF Batesyille. near the big ITALIA
hatehie bottom, and a 600-pound black
bear, says the Atlanta Constitution.
The incident happened on Tuesday OF
last week. The negro's corn field Is
near the bottom. and for two weeks
past several bears had made night Wis
It's thereto to partake Of the delicious
roasting ears. Brown is an old bear
hunter, and in his day has killed many
dozens Of them. He built scatfoid in
the corn field near where the bears
entered, and Monday night, with his
trusty gun, he took his stand thereon,
intending to bag Bruin while deYour-
ing his corn. Now the thrilling part
comes, and boys who love to read hair
breadth escapes from wild and fero-
cious beasts must prepare to aold their
breath. The bear came on schedule
time and started straight for the ne
gro's shelter. Brown saw that he was
tremendously large one, and tried
to make good his aim. He only sue
ceeded In wounding him badly, how
ever, and the bear ran off to the woods.
Brown called his sons to bring the
dogs and a fresh gun. and soon the
dogs had the monster 'bayed in a brush
thicket within the field. The moon
shone brightly, and he could see the
struggle the dogs were having with
the game 30 to make short work of 1t
he rushed in to get dead shot, when
Bruin turned on him with the ferocity
OF a Texas cyclone. The negro was
knocked down. his arm crushed to
splinters, and he was badly bitten and
otherwise used up. Browns Oldest son
saw the predicament of his father and
rushed in, grabbed the rife and ended
Bruins checkered and corn-eatins
career on the spot. The bear weighed
aver 600 mounds.
