brought the command within view OF the
place where the bear had made his bed,
and soon thereafter the creature itself
was discovered moving leisurely across
a small, open space among the trees. AS
the troop approached, the Indians began
to ride in a circle about the beast, dis
charging their barbed arrows as they
came near it, the meanwhile enccurag-
ing each other to urge their horses to a
closer approach.
The fun waXed hot and furious as 1t
went on, and might have continued in
definitely but for the misfortune of a
Iuckless warrior, who was thrown from
his horse by the violent plungings OF the
animal in its efforts to avoid a sudden
| rush Of the bear. ~Scrambling to his feet,
the Indian ran to a small tree that stood
near by and climbed to its tOpmOst
branches with the agility OF a cat. The
bear sprang after the warrior to the foot
OF the tree and, rising upon its hind feet,
attempted to reach him with its extended
claw. The weight Of the creature bore
heavily upon the tree and m"Omentarily
threatened to force it to the ground.
At this perilOus juncture a cry arose
among the Indians for the assistance OF
the soldiers in their effort to save their
cOmrade. The officer in command
quickly responded, and several men were
directed to fire upon the beast. At first
the injuries inflicted upon it by the sol
dier's weapons seemed only to increase
its violent efforts to break down the
tree, but eventually one of the missiles
struck it in the back and brought it to
the ground. 1t attempted then to move
away, but the ball had injured the spinal
cord and paralyzed it's hinder parts. 1t
dragged itself a short distance from the
tree in an effort to escape, and, then
abandoning that purpose, turned upon
the Indians, who had resumed the at
tack. AS they successfully came near to
discharge their arrows or attempt a
hrust with their spears, the creature
made frantic efforts to rush upon them
The officer finally suggested that the
struggle should be ended by shooting the
creature, but the Indians objected, and
when he persisted because of the unnec
essary suffering inflicted upon the ami.
NAL, they fastened to remind him thai
he was an invited guest, and should have
nothing to say in the matter.
The end, however, speedily followed
this expression of views, and while the
officer and Man-ton-to were still discuss.

MOUSE FOlLS PRISON PLOT
Four Desperadoes Had Planned to
Kill Jail Guards and Make
Their Escape.

Cincinnati.-With a note tied to ats
tail a wee mouse tipped off officials to
a daring attempt of four desperadoes
to saw their way out Of the Cincinnati
prison and murder guards by whole
sale, if necessary, in order to secure
their freedom.
The mouse had been drafted as an
unwilling messenger between the pris-
oners, and the slip of paper attracted
the attention of an ever viSilant guard.
The men who planned the break
were James Berry. a no dup a
James Taylor, diamond thief; Earl
Moore, serving time for two ~Offenses,
and James Mcclure, e~x-cCnvict Of
Joliet. The men had secured saws anc
two iron bars were sawed in Berry's
cell and one in Taylor's. The prison.
ers had planned to kill Guards Bishop,
Henry Asset and William Hetrick, if
compelled to, in order to secure their
freedom.
Three saws were found in Moore's
cell. In Taylor's the officials struck a
dozen hack saws and a steel frame was
found in his bed ticking. A murder
Gus oak club 90 inches long and a
large dirk were also located.
They have been planning for weeks
to escape, and their mode of commune
cation was, perhaps, the most move
ever heard of. Berry would catch a
mouse, tie a note to it's tail, and as the
rodent passed the cell of Mcguire he
would catch ii and get the message.

Dumped It Into the Wrong

A confectioner at ATS Fourth avenue or
dered three tons of coal to be delivered
the other day. A driver, with a three
ton wagon, went to the store late IN the
afternoon, lifted a big iron cover IN the
Sidewalk near the curb, and chu,ed the
three tons into the dark hole. Thel he
drove away, says the New York Times.
The confeetioner went down to the, eel
lar in a little while to bank the coal. He
found none. He wondered for some
time, as he remembered seeing the coal
wagon in front OF his store, but he told
the ompan he had received no coal.
The driver went down to see about it.

BOYD MUST
SERVE TIME
Ten Years for Him and
One Year for Clerk
MahauIu.

Edward s. Boyd must serve his SEN
tence for embezzlement of public funds
while he held the office of Commission
er of Public Lands. a unanimous opin-
ion of the Supreme Court was rendered
yesterday overriding all of defend
ants exceptions to Judge Robinson g
ruling at the trial. Chief Justice
Frear, Justice Hartwell and Judge De
Bolt hearu the appeal, and Hartwell is
writer of the opinion. Attorney Gen
eral Andrews appeared for the prose-
cution, and A. G. NJ. Robertson for the
defendant.
Boyd s sentence is Imprisonment at
hard labor for ten years.
Stephen Mahaulu, who was chief
clerk of the Public Land Office and
sub-land agent of the fifth district I'M
der Boyd, last Monday pleaded guilty
to the first count of one of the indict-
ments against him for embezzlement,
and yesterday was sentenced to be i'm
prisoned at hard labor for one year
and to pay costs. Deputy Attorney
General Peters had asked that the
court deal leniently with the defend
ant. The theory of the Attorney Gen
eral is that Mahaulu, although clearly
guilty, did not benefit in his own
pocket from his embezzling, but took
the money for Boyd and paid it to him.
There were three counts charging Ma
hauIu with the unlawful taking, re-
spectively, of $1400, $240 and $500.
Upon another Indictment a nolle
prosequi was entered. In this case
Mahaulu was charged with embezzling,
respectively, $500 and $3.50. The total
defalcations under Boyd s administra-
ton of the department were between
$4,000 and 100000.
