There is a general demand that ia

his party he paid little or no atten'

a big female bear. Doty was per.
picked as to what to do, having NO
arms to defend himself with; he used
his mind repeatedly. Vines of all de.
scription abounded in profusion. Doty
edged his way over to a large grape
vine, thing that if he would be safe
until help would come, but Mrs. Bruin
checkmated his move and rushed al
him fiercely. Doty grappled with
Mrs. Bruin. Then one of the fiercest
battles that was ever witnessed be-

The fight at this time was raging most
furious. The huge beast was huggins
Mr.. Doty for all it was worth. Mr.
Doty's strength was leaving him, bui
by one superhuman effort Doty struck
the bear a powerful blow with his fis;
on the nose, stunning her and causing
the bear to fall down. Grabbing a vine
by dexterous work he succeeded in ty
ing the bear until he could get stou:
club, which he did, and then beat the
brains out. Doty's strength was about
spent, and soon after he fell to the
ground, unable to stand. His clothes
were all torn off his back, but he re
ceived only a few flesh wounds moi
amounting to much. The bear weigh

Toxic, June 12.-Tokio has calmly
received the news of American inter.
yention and prospective peace. The
absence of assurance that Russia will
accept President Roosevelts proposal
and tho knowledge that the final con-
summation Of peace involves the ad-

paramount importance, coupled per-

a disposition to await final results.
There is nevertheless the keenest sat.

and feeling Of deep gratitude over
President RooSevelt's action.
There is also genuine thanksgiving
at the thought that the carnage anG
horror and the waste of war will soon

and enduring peace.
