Camp had gone to the mountain
cabin to prepare ii for the reception of
several hunters. and during his stay
alone heard the cry of wildcats and the
long, blo0d-chillinE screccl OF pam
Tiers. He had not caught sight of
amy of the animals until one day when
he was cutting away some brush on
the trail near the cabin he heard II
twig snap in front of him. Looking
up, he beleld Il huge lion right in the
centre of the trail. switching its tail
menacingly. Camp was struck dumb
with terror. but instinctively his hand
sought his hip pocket in which re-
posed his pistol.
AS he drew it, another lion walked
out of the brush. and behind 1t We're

wildly away with the popgun in his

diversion that allowed him to reach
his cabil door. Rushing inside he
barred the door and reloaded his pistol,
determined to frighten away the
brutes If possible. AS he looked out
he saw his burro. Al Borax. snorting

was at Il loss to account for their

that it might be n pair with their

and was glad OF his company. and then
took look to see II they We're still

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 22.-The body of
Miss Sarah Schaefer teacher of Latin
in the Bedford High School, was found
in a carriage house to-day.
She had been assaulted and robbed
and the body badly mutilated. The
appearance of the shed indicated a
terrific struggle.
Miss Schaefer came here from Elk
hart, Ind, a year ago and was much
admired.
The City Council has offered a re-
ward of $500, and the county a like
amount for the arrest of the murderer
OF Miss Schaefer She had left the
house of Mrs. Martha Johnson two
and one-half squares from her room,
after eating her meal, and had started
to her rooms to meet a class of pupils
there to give a course in Latin. This
was the last seen of her alive.
1t has developed that a wisp of hair,
apparently from a mustache, was
found in the clutches of the victim,
and upon this clue the police are basing
their investigation. A brick, with
which the wounds were inflicted, has
also been found, covered with blood.
A negro was said to have been seen
near the alley near where the assault
was committed about the time that
Miss Schaefer left her boarding house.

Justice Harlan Wanted the Right at
White House Function.
Washington, Jan. 22.-An incident
occurred at the Presidents reception
last night which to-day has caused
some comment in Washington official
and social circles
The reception was to the judiciary,
and, in accordance with custom. the
line passing the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt and the receiving party was
headed by the Chief Justice and Mrs.
Fuller. Maj. Charles McCawley of the
Marine Corps, one Of the aides at the
White House social functions, stopped
the line in order that some members
of the diplomatic corps who were in
the Red Room, might be presented to
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. His
action caused some annoyance, and
Justice Harlan frankly demonstrated
with him, insisting upon the right of
the members of the Supreme Court, in
accordance with the custom, to head
the line.
The President knew nothing about
the incident.

HANNA HAS NO FEAR
OF EUROPEAN SOCIALISM.

Boston. Jan. Ex-senator Marcus A.
Hanna of Ohio contributes to the Feb
ruary number of the National Maya
zine, published in this city, an article
under the caption of Socialism and
the Labor Unions" After expressing
his belief in the power of education
over the American people and declar-
ing that the basis of right success is
fairness and justice, Senator Hanna
writes:
The instinct of workingmen to band
together to protect themselves is no
more to be wondered at than the same
instinct when shown on the part of
capital. Now, my plan is to have or
ganized union labor Americanized in
the best sense and thoroughly educat-
ed to an understanding of it's RESPONSE
bilitieS, and in this way to make it
the ally of the capitalist rather than
foe.
Labor organizations may be open
to sharp criticism at times, but it can
not be fairly stated that they are al
ways wrong. If every man is treated
as a man, and an appeal made to his
heart, as well as to his reason, it will
establish bond of confidence as a sure
foundation to build upon.
The menace of to-day, as I view it,
is the spread of a Socialism, one of
those things which is only half un-
derstood, and is more or less used to
inflame the popular mind against all
individual, initiative and personal en-
ergy, which has been the very essence
of American progress. There is spirit
of cooperation or community of in
terests, which some people may con-
fOund with Socialism that ic limo
Roadway with us; but when any one
attempts, for political or financial rea-
sons, to advocate the whole pro-
gramme of European Socialism, he will
find little prospect of the seeds taking
root in American soil"
