FOUGHT BEAR AND CUBS.
His Weapon. a Revolyer--It Happened
at Night West Of Dusty.

atyN1ght West OF Dusty.
In the darkness of early night,
along the road between Dusty
and spot six miles to the
| westward in the mountains, James
Ray and an old she bear and her
two cubs had a fight the other ev-
ening. Ray was belated traveller,
en- route from Dusty to his home,
where he and his father together
conduct bachelors hall. It was
ifarly dark and as he passed objects
along the way could only be seen
dimly. He was afoot and was max.
ing his way with the swift stride of a
woodsman, when . husky growl
and snort in the road just ahead
brought him to sense of danger.
Several yards ahead in the road
he could see the dim outlines of a
form which the growl indicated to
be that Of bear. Hard by the
roadside was pile of logs and de-
bris and on this the traveller leap
ed. The act disturbed the pile and
from under the logs ran bear cub.
Ray carried a revolver, and he
fred at once at the fleeing cub.
The ball struck, and the squall that
the youngster lifted, set bats and
owls a-aying and cold chills chas-
ing each other up Rays back. With
an angry growl, the bear mother
answered the squalls of her cub
vito rush at Ray.
The revolver was a self-cocker
and the binding flashes and sharp
reports from if, followed each other
in quick succession as Ray pumped
lead into his assailant. The firing
brought her to halt temporarily
and gave time for Ray, when the
chambers of his weapon were all
empty, to leap from his log pile and
beat retreat down the road.
The story is that he got away on
beautiful stride, that he held to it
like a.racer, and that the mile or
two that he made in the next few
minutes were smashers of all rec.
ords known or unknown. Mr.. Ray
bas been in town since, but was un-
able to say whether the old bear
and her cub are survivors or vic

onists. Il

ORDERED ONE SEWER.
And Discussed Another More Water
Negotiations in the Council.

A special meeting Of the city
council was held Friday evening.
An ordinance was passed, direct
ling the construction of a lateral
sewer through two blocks in which
the Hays and Pratt residences are
located. The advertisement for
bids appears in these columns.
The award of the lateral sewer
| through Hotel Corvallis block, for
which J. w. Ingle was the lowest
bidder was reconsidered and with
drawn. 1t turns out that the old
brick sewer at the point where the
lateral was to intersect is but FIVE
feet and nine inches below the sur
face Of the ground, and that the
lateral would be lower than the
main and accordingly without an
outlet. An ordinance was present
ed proposing an extension of the
lateral through the Occidental ho-
tel block to a connection with the
Jefferson street main, Some op-
position to the extension was of
fered, and the matter was referred
to the sewer committee for report.
Slight amendment was made to
the action of the council with ref
erence to the city water supply. AT
a former meeting it was voted to
pay the Water Company but $33.-
80 per month for water, the same
being based on no pay for the sew
en- cisterns, which were declared to
be practically useless for fire pro-
lection. It was shown that a
verbal arrangement had been made
with the Water Company by which
sewer flushing was to be paid for
at Portland metre rates for the act
ual amount of water consumed, and
that this arrangement was pTactic-
ally equivalent to contract for the
present summer months The coun
Gil voted unanimously to allow pay
at Portland rates for sewer flushing
for the present dry months or un-
til the rainy season returns, when
sewer flushing by artificial means
will be unnecessary.
The council also voted unanim-
ously to instruct the police judge
to serve notice on the Wafer Com
pany with reference to the action of
the council concerning the city's
for water for city pur-
poses.
At the meeting, the announce
ment was made that the Water
Company had proposition to make
to the council with reference to the
water supply, and a special water
committee was appointed to receive
and negotiate concerning the same.
The committee is Avery, Rose and /
q enkle.

Services of Unusual Impressiyeness
at his Funeral-Occurred
Saturday.

Amid scenes most impressive,
the funeral of the late Ichabod
Henk1e occurred at the family
home four miles west of Philomath
at 2:3o o'clock Saturday. The
casket, hower-1aden. occupied a
position in front of the fireplace in
the family sitting room. where the
patriarch had spent the best por-
| ton of his life. Members of the
, family filled the room to overflow
ing, while neighbors and old friends
attended in such numbers that the
! porches and even the yard was
crowded. Bishop Castle. assisted
by Rev. limerick, conducted the
service. The funeral Grafton was
notable in its fervid eloquence, be
ing the efart of one who classed
himself among the mourners.
The service began with a quar-
tette by Mr.. and Mrs. Wasserman,
their son and daughter.-'.Home at
Last" During the progress of the
services other specially prepared
music was rendered by the quar-
tette, and Rev. Wasserman sang a
touching solo, stI want to go there,
don't you?''
At the conclusion of the service
many old friends who had come long.
distances took a last look at the face
of him whom all revered and loved.
and whose hospitality they had
many a time enjoyed in this same
room in the years long past. An
incident most touching was when
Jacob Henkle, an aged brother, and
Mrs King, a venerable sister, as
sisted the bereaved widow to the
casket for last look at the re-
mains. Of equal pathos was the
bearing away. of the remains in
which the pail bearers were an
aged brother and five sons of the
deceased, and in which the picture
presented were members of the
family bearing away their own
sacred dead. They were Jacob
Henkle. a brother, and five sons,
Jesse, John. Jacob Jr., Jerry and
Charles.
At the grave in Pleasant Valley
cemetery, under the shadow of
Mary's Peak, as the sun was sink
ing in the west, the body of this
veteran pioneer, a good citizen, a
kind and generous friend and
Christian was lowered into the
grave. AS the solemn burial serv-
ice ended with, Earth to EARTH.
ashes to ashes, dust to dust. = the
friends and relatives sang, There
S land that is fairer than day."
and Rev. Wasserman sang, "Gone
o the grave. As the sinking
'un cast long shadows from the
western hills over Pleasant Valley,
he friends and relatives wended
heir way homeward. and many ]
emarked about how fitting were
he ceremonies and how impressive
he service in which the passing Of :
Henk1e to his fathers, was !
celebrated.

BRITONS PIN FAITH
TO SHAMROCK III
Already Specializing on Course for
Return Match.

LONDON, Aug 19.-An unusually
lively interest is being manifested in
the forthcoming yacht races for the
Americas Cup. Englishmen believe that
Shamrock III has a more even chance
OF winning than any boat which has
hitherto crossed the Atlantic. Some
quarters are already discussing whether
the next contest will be held of the Isle
of Wight or in Irish waters.
The fact that the Reliance is heavily
handicapped by time allowance has
given great JOY here. though it is
thought that if the Shamrock wins she
will do so decisively, and not need this
help.
The newspapers are showing great en-
terprise in making preparations for in
forming the public as to the progress
of the races. Colored bombs, rockets
fash lights, balloons, and other devices
will be used. The most ingenious ar
rangement is at Earl's Court, where, OF
a lake 400 feet long, a miniature Sham
rock and Reliance will reproduce wha
