Battle Royal With Grizzlies.

Edward R. Bradley, of this city, has
has received from his brother, John r.
Bradley, full particulars of bear fight
in which the latter and T. T. Reece, of
Palm Beach, Fla, were engaged at
Jackson Hole, Mont.
Alphonse Daudet, who in some of his
widest moments wrote "Tartarin of
Tarascon in Africa" as a model for tel
lers of stories about killing big game,
never imagined combat half so thrill
ing in its intensity and fearful in its
results as the battle between five prom
inent grizzlies of Jackson Hole and Mr..
Bradley and his friend, Mr.. Reece.
1t appears that the two huntsmen
were ambling outside Jackson Hole
when they deserted bear. 1t was big
enough for all practical purposes, and
in a liffy the sharp report of the Brad
ley and the Reece rifles rang ont on the
cold and frosty air.
The bear came on. With him came
four of his nearest and dearest bear
friends.
Neither Mr.. Bradley nor his friend,
Mr.. Reece, was ready to be butchered
to make grizzly holiday. Right val
iantly they banged away with their ar
tillery and right royalty did they slash
with their hunting knives. After a
struggle in which victory capriciously
rotated from them to the bears and
from the bears back to them, they slew
three of their enemies and disabled the
two others.
The pelts of the three whose lives
we're sacrifice to their skepticism at
to the power of heavy rifles will b(
brought to Chicago, and persons who
are cynical about bear stories may lool
at the pelts and be convinced that al
these details are the the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the story as tolC
by Mr.. Bradley and his friend, Mr.
Reece. Chicago American.
THE T. 7. Reece referred to in th,
foregoing narration is brother of on

Editor Cy Lyle, of the johnson City
Comet, will give Boss Brownlow at
least the greatest scare of his life, and
we would not at all be surprised if he
defeated him for congress. Even the
republicans can not stand Brownlow's
machine methods, their eyes having at
length been opened to the sham and
hypocrisy with which he has so long
deceived them. On the other hand,
Mr.. Lyle enjoys the confidence of the
people of both parties and is respected
by republicans and democrats alike. In
real ability he is the superior of his OPP
ponent, although he is not so skilled in
dark lantern methods and the practice
of political jugglery. Lebanon (Va.

"BOSS" AND CY. /"
Great Lyle Enthusiasm Being Shown in
Greene County,


Greeneville, Oct. 97.-Congressman
W. ?. Brownlow, the republican can
didate for reelection, spoke here this
morning. This afternoon Cyrus H.
Lyle, the democratic nominee for con-
gress, spoke in the opera house. The
town is full of people, many coming
from the outlaying districts and from
adjacent counties to hear the two can
didates. Their appearance was in no
sense in tbs nature of a joint debate,
though Mr.. Lyle would willingly meet
Brownlow on the stump.
When Mr.. Lyle spoke this afternoon
he was given an oAation. He was in
hoduced by James Armitage, chair
man of the democratic committee of
Greene county. He took up Brown
lows record, and dissected it to the
satisfaction Of his hearers. He referred
to what had been and what should be
done for the district. He made an able
speech, calling upon democrats and all
others who are displeased with "boss-
ism" in the First district, and who
want a change of things, to vote for the
democratic nominee for congress on
Tuesday of next week. Mr.. Lyle was
heartily applauded. There is much
Lyle enthusiasm in Greene county,
and his friends claim he will carry the
county by from 700 to 1000 votes.
Mr.. Lyle will go to Parrottsville,
Cooke county, to speak tonight. He is
making an aggressive campaign, and
will keep in the field until the election
day, November 4.
