A MONUMENT FOR GEORGE
 IEANDER

A. c. BacheIder, president of the Ma tional Cycling Association and his asso- ciates ill the sport, have decided to erect q monument to George Leander the Chicago cyclist who was killed while racing on the Pare des Princess track in Paris. Lenders body was brought to this country and buried in Chicago, and with money subscribed by European riders and their followers and by the American riders, and those interested in the sport suitable monu- rnent will be erected to the memory of one of the cleanest riders who follow the powerful motor tandems for a live- lihood.
 With the fatal accident to Leander has come a positive refusal on the part of racing men to ride behind the mon ster motors that have been in use for some time and which have proven SO dangerous The small four horse power machines are being used and they give universal satisfaction To be sure the miles are not so fast, but there is al- ways 3 better contest and the sport is decidedly safer.

 "Old Franks house is still standing at least, it was when I went to see him year or two ago. He built it of heavy unknown logs, more for protec-. ton against the indians than for a home. The windows were only about six inches square, regular Ioop-holes, about the height of tall man from the floor. The door was near one of the corners of the house, and at this point projected a log used as towel rack At the rear was the meat pole, on which

 "Pandenlonium would have been qit- ie compared with the uproar that arose from below. Sounds of breaking glass and crockery rattling of pots and pans, told a tale of how the larder was being raided. The brutes spared nothing. Sacks of flour were scattered about, mattresses and pillows were ripped open, and up through the chimney float ed flour dust and feathers in cloud that nearly stifled the hunted man on the roof.
 "When daylight came the bears broke away. They marched off as if under the command of a general, with their wounded companion in the middle ot the bunch. The bear that had tried to climb 10 the roof and two smaller ones lresembled the polar species on account of their coating of flour.
 After they had gone a safe distance Frank climbed down as quickly as his lbenunnbed limbs would permit him.
 After setting things to rights in the cabin he took a good rest, but he was
 out on the trail of the brutes early the next morning. He overlook three of them trailing up Wagon Hound Canon, and their hides are at his ranch to-day.

morning by Justice H. H. Turner, and
he will have all kinds of chances to ply
his vocation under the roof Of the
state institution, where others have
preceded him. =.
Dupree is a recent arrival In this
city. and was arrested several days
ago for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. While in the city jail, serv
ing a ~1O-days' sentence, he continual
- annoyed and vexed the officers by
his conduct. An examination was
he'd to determine his condition, and
it was clearly apparent that he was
unbalanced, He thinks that he discov.
cred a grave containing a number OF
people, and succeeded in rescuing a
few Of the occupants, but was attacked
for his act by the murderers, and is
in danger of his life. Everything oc.

Little is known of his ~antecedents,
