BEAR SAVACELY
ATTACKS OWNER
Maddened Brute Turns Upon
Henry Harmon and Tears
Him With Teeth and Claws
FAINTS WHEN RESCUED
Without Warning Pet Ami
NAL Turns on Master With
a Vicious Purpose to Kill

OAKLAND June 17.-Helpless in the
powerful embrace OF huge brown
bear, Henry Harmon. a we'll known
Aliendale grocer. had a struggle for
life with the savage brute to- day. HIS
screams of agony were heard by Will
liam Carregethas. a clerk in Harmon s
employ. who went to the aid of his
employer, and attacking the enraged
animal with heavy club succeeded,
after a combat, in which he was him
self severely injured. in rescuing Har-
mon from a terrible death. The latter.
as he was freed from the grasp of the
bear with nearly all his clothing torn
from his body by the sharp claws and
teeth of the animal, tainted from the
pain of his injuries and is now confined
to his bed, with his body covered WITH
cuts and bruises inflicted by the bear
in the brief but almost fatal struggle
the animal, whose treacherous and
savage instincts almost cost the life
of its owner, was given to Harmon
when q cub about-a year ago and has
been kept by him a pet ever since
1t had grown so docile in captivity that
the children of the neighborhood were
allowed to play with the animal. Har-
mon had gone to feed his pet, when
without the slightest warning the ami
nal attacked him. After the manner
of its kind the bear at once seized Har-
mon with its front paws and attacked
him with its teeth, and had it not been
for the timely arrival of help he would
never have escaped from the brute with
his life

REAL LTY TITLE
HAS A FLAW
Property of the Thornton
Estate Is Sold Without
Obtaining Court Decree
VERY VALUABLE NOW
Legal Steps Will Be Taken
to Secure the Holders
in Their Possessions

OAKLAND. June IA will. dusty and
old, was dragged forth into the light of
day this morning and perused with even
moro interest than when what 1t con-
Veyed was all that stood between widow
and the outside world, for upon its pro-
visions now hang the titles to several
valuable blocks of city realty.
The will was that of Harry I. Thorn
ton. a lawyer here in early days. The
document bears the date of 1851 and was
made in Alabama. Thornton died in 1861.
and the paper was number IS to be filed
with County Clerk Church, who was the
first incumbent of that Office in Alameda
County and whose office at that time was
at San Leandro, the old capital of the
county.
Thornton died leaving small estate
of several acres of land near what Is now
the junction of Broadway and Hobart
street, in this city. BY his will he con-
veyed it to his wife, who without the for
mality of a decree of court sold 1t off to
people who are now very anxious to have
this little matter righted. According to
searchers going over the titles the pres
ent owners have no titles until 1t can be
shown that Mrs. Lucy Thornton had a
right to convey the property.
In order to get a proper decree 1t Is
necessary to have the estate of Harry
Thornton probated, and to this end Mil
lard F. Hudson to-day petitioned for let
tiers of administration on an estate forty
four years old. When this is done he will
petition to have the estate duly set apart
to Mrs. Thornton by virtue of the provi-
sions of the will, and her deeds will then
become legal.

SAYS HE MET WIESE
NIGHT OF SUICIDE
J. P. Wagner Tells of Meet
ing Electrician on the
Newark.

ALAMEDA, June 17.-Additional evi-
dence tending to prove that Gustave A.
Wiese, formerly City Electrician, was the
man who shot himself and plunged over
board from the ferry steamer Newark
Wednesday night was furnished to-day by
Jacob P. Wagner OF. Of this city, who
met Wiese in the depot at the Alameda
mole Wednesday night and went on board
the boat with the electrician. The two
conversed and promenaded the lower
deck for five minutes and then separated.
When the Newark docked on the other
side Wagner waited at L. gang plank
for Wiese to leave the vessel. but failed
to see him. Wagner is employed on the
Belt Road in San Francisco and was on
his way across the bay to work when he
met iese. He knew the electrician we'll
and their talk was of matters of mutual
interest
That Wiese contemplated self-destruc-
ton is further indicated by the fact that
when his young sons, Alva and Ernest,
returned to the Masonic Home at Decoto
Monday. after having spent Sunday in
Alameda and San Francisco with their
father, Alva had with him the jewels of
his deceased mother, which had been
given to him by his father. with instruc-
tions to have the manager of the institu-
ton place them in a safe. The jewels
had been in Wiese's possession since the
death of his wife, eighteen months ago.

on the sacks cut on enough runs to win
half a dozen ordinary ball games, while
a good base hit that would do some
damage never came through when 1t

of the Giants.

first inning, when Mitchell injured him

himself by going to right field. Nc

second, but the bliss did not last long.
McCreedie, Mclean and Householder all
bingled off the reel, and it looked good

the game, but his wheel went bad. and
