FALL OF A GRIZZLY BEAR.
Without an Instant's Warning Tract
able Beast Kills His Trainer,


Another distinct type of zoo rogue
is the beast that goes wrong owing to
accidental temptation-like Shaggy,
an exceedingly intelligent, tractable
Rocky Mountain grizzly who reverted
to savagery and turned man-killer in
twinkling, owing to the unfortunate
misstep and fall of his trainer.
Shaggy was big, handsome, gray
old fellow, with jungle-thick coat and
I numbering, awkward gait, and a fun
ny twinkle that made him particularly
adaptable for his part Of clown in
remarkably trained group of fourteen
bears. He had come under the hands
of his teacher when but helpless
cub, had never lost his liking for ca.
resses, and, although the mightiest
Deast in the collection, was least sus
pected of being dangerous. Once, when
a striped hyena hung to the ankle OF
his friend, he had run to the rescue,
and cut loose right and left with his
ponderous fore paws, and had bitten
and torn and mangled the ugly beast
to death before he could be beaten
off. Among his accomplishments were
that of turning admirably grotesque
somersaults and the more difficult feat
Of balancing himself on his hind legs
on a three-foot wooden sphere.
Not scratch or a scar had his
trainer to show for the years of work
he had put in with the bear And yet,
without an instant's warning, this
same beast attacked and injured his
master so that when rescued, he was
semi-demented, and so dreadfully cut
and lacerated that the surgeons de-
cided it useless to try to save his life.

GERONIMO IN OLD AGE.
He Is No Longer Looked Upon as

He Is No Longer Looked upon as q
Chief by the Apaches. ,
Geronimo was at Lawton last week
The health of the old chief is still
good, although he is very aged. HIS
home is ten miles from Lawton, yet
he usually walks to and from the
place to do mis- trading.
He is quite often asked to give an
exhibition of his skill as a marks
man with the bow. This he readil!
consents to do provided a nickel Is
made the target and it becomes bis
own in case he hits 1t.
Geronimo denies the statement o.
Gen. Miles that the general captured
him The old warrior says that some
where up on the mountains, when ne
was on the warpath, two white mer
came to him and told him that Gen
Miles wanted to see him.
The men accompanied him to the
camp of the general and he was made
prisoner. Geronimo says he thinks
il was In Arizona, the territory OF his
birth. Anyway, he says it was up in
the mountains.
The tribal relations OF the Apaches
have been dissolved. and they no long
or look upon Geronimo as their chief
They consider him childish old man,

The Development or NEVADA.

No state in the Union has so long
and so badly needed an increase OF
population as has Nevada, says the
National Geographic Magazine. Her
population of $4,000 to-day is less
than it was in 1870. six years after
her admission as a state. 1t Is graf
flying to know, therefore. that she
will more than double her present
numbers when the vast government
irrigation works begun on the True
kee and Carson rivers are completed
II Is estimated that the works will
make productive about $4,000 acres
OF sage brush desert in the western
part OF the state These lands will
furnish fertile homesteads OF about
eighty acres each for 4,5OO families
Towns and villages will naturally
spring up, so that Nevada may expect
from the reclamation an increase OF
10000 at the least.
