The mysterious disappearance O.
two valuable hounds owned by A. W.
Combs Of Oakland. Cal, has been
planned. and the story behind 1t prov.
n of the most remarkable cases O.
canine faithfulness and determination
ever recorded. Combs was one of q
party Of hunters who returned q cou.
pie Of weeks ago from a weeks hunt.
ing trip IN the" mountains back OF
Crescent City, Del Norte county. The
party had taken along four hounds.
which were missed during the first
night in the mountains. They had
evidently strayed away during the
night, and for the following four days
the hunters were without tneir COM
panions. On the fourth day. however,
two Of the hounds returned 10 camp
the two belonging to COMBS being fl
ally given up for lost or stolen. VIE.
the hunters were ready to start TO,
home they informed Superior Judge
Cutler OF the mysterious disappear
nee of the two hounds and requested
him to advertise a reward for their
return in his name. One day Mr..
Combs received a letter from Judge
Cutler conveying the happy news that
the hounds had been recovered; that
they were found in tine mountains sew
eral miles from where the Oaklanders
had been hunting. by a miner, who
had heard them barking for several
days. The miner had gone to inves-
tigate and found two hounds holding
the fort at the base Of a large tree.
into which a bear had climbed for
safety from their attack. This was
the ninth day they had remained on
watch at this particular tree. They
were completely exhausted and very
nearly starved to death, as was also
the bear, which the miner killed.

MANY MAYORS IN NEW YORK.


East side Sections Have Their Own
Though UNAUTHORIZED Executives.
Certain sections Of the east side In
New York elect mayors Of their own
each year. It Is generally a matter Of
ommon consent or q casting of votes
at some saloon on IN evening before
agreed upon, and the man who wins
goes for one year under the title Of
mayor Of Poverty Hollow, or some
other like appellation. Upon festive
occasions he Is permitted to dress UP
In a regalia Of his own choosing and
head the procession. Usually he is 2
saloon-keeper, and as his place of bus
mess becomes the local city hall, he
coins much money because of the beer
and other drinks sold therein. His
edicts are of an advisory character,
The mayor Of Chinatown is a man OF
real authority in many ways. OF
course. he has no recognition In a legal
way, but among the Chinese his in.
fluence and power count for a great
deal. The method of his election Is
curious. There are several factions,
each OF which is pushing a candidate.
At an appointed hour all Of these meet
in q public hall. Every man bagins to
talk and they keep II up without ces-
sation. After a time some Of them
grow tired and drop out. The rest
keep on. Then more go away, and the
candidate whose friends remain the
longest and talk the last ia declared
elected and no one questions his au-
thority. The oldest election OF all Is
that held each year in the city aims
house. The men there have no vote
for city officers. but as most Of them
have been voters for years and don't
like to give up the habit, they hold an
annual election Of their own AMI
choose a mayor Of the almshouse. A
new election will be ordered In a few
days. There Is a vacancy in the OF
flee. Julius Bullock, who was once a
soldier In the German army, has laid
down his life and his honers together.
He had been mayor for eleven years.
There are three, candidates In the field.
Uncle Mike" who Ia running because
he has a wooden leg; Myers. the ex-
sausage man, who used to supply the
city aldermen with Frankfurters. and
