successfully. AT last they decided to
drown him out. So. procuring fou.
pals. each took two and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
it into the hole in the ground IN which
the said chuck" had taken UP his:
abode. Getting tired. they sat down.
After about half an hour the wood
chuck cautiously left the hole and ae-
iiberatelY walked down to the brook
and took 4 long drink OF water. and
then scooted. much to the disgust of the
two boys Boston Herald.

MOUNTAIN CHARLEYS FEAT.

j AltS ASSFe DNS.
Nearly all old Californi;,ns. says the
author of Early Days In Galiforni;t,H
have heard of ,'Mnunt;tin Charley"
who lived in the Santa Cruz noun
i;iins, where he hunted bear and deer.
OF his adventures. many OF which We're
remarlSable. there is none stranger
than his fight With II grizzly
One morning he started out With his
gun. He had gone but a short distance
when he found himself face to face
with a grizzly. The bear was sitting
on his launches reaching for acorns
when Charley came upon him. The
hunter tried to bring his rifle mp but.
being III such close quarters, the bear
disarmed him by striking the weapon
with its paw and knocking it out OF his
hands. At the same time he embraced
Charley.
Both fell to the ground. Being OH Il
hillside, they rolled over and ever until
they reached the rayine below. when
the bear loosened its hold, yet did not
seem inclined to give up the fight.
Charley realized that his only chance
was to wind the bear by striking him
with his fist over the heart. He landed
q blow ms near the reg on as possible
He struck first With one fist and theI
with the other in rapid succession when
he found the bear Weakening
By this time they were close to the
embanlAment of the creek. The bear

scratches and bites. 1t had made one
wound over the hunters forehead and
down the cheek to the bone an;. had
torn one of his eyes from the socket. 1t
had also fastened it's teeth in the mans
left arm and made an ugly wound
there.
With Il desperate lunge Charley shoy-
ed the hear oyer the embankment into
the waiter. Then. too weak to stand, he
fell exhausted upon the gro,Eld. The
bear WAS apparently in the same condi-
! ton. 1t wtded to the opposite bank

Didn't Do a Thing
The effects of Wednesday evening s
storm are TO be seen all over the city,
particularly in the suburbs. where the
water washed loads of dirt into the car
tracks and swept away portions OF
streets. This was the case in George
town, too. where the new pavement on
T.t.rty-fifth street was partially washed
away. Awnings and fences were blown
down and property damaged in great
degree.
Washouts on the Washington, Airing
ton and Fails Church road caused much
inconvenience to travel there. In two
places the foundation under the tracks
was washed away to such an extent
that the cars could not carry passen-
gers over and the latter were compelled

SALOON IN REAR IN FLAMES

Guests in the st. James Hotel, Sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue north
west. were thrown into a panic about
$3.50 O'Clock this morning, when a saloon
in the rear was discovered afire

licked the walls of the hotel. Men and
women, clad in night clothes, grabbed
street garments and valuables and rush
ed downstairs to the office and main
corridor.
The night clerk and bell boys tried to
Ieassure them. None would return to
his or her apartment until the firemen
LEFT the scene.
Discovered by Watchman.
The timely discovery of G. T. Queen,
the night watchman at the ST. James,
saved the hotel from fire and probably
not few lives. At S:35 o'clock this
morning he was making his rounds and
sIneiied pine wood burning. He hurried

The flames spread rapidly despite tthe
great amount of water that was being

broken open, and firemen entered with
axes ana several streams of water.
Ladders were run I'D to the window
of the second story back room. The
sitting smoke and flames were still
rushing out, but with sponges in their
mouths. the firemen stood at the open
