Cody Was Brave.

Some time in September, 1869, Gen.

Larned from Fort Riley where that
regiment was organized, bringing

Hitchcock, alias Wild Bill, who was

Mr., Cody, during my knowledge of
him, had no reproaches to follow him.
He was young man respected by all.
He, like many frontiersmen of that
day, had all the chances possible to

ever approached their camps and he
never went except as duty called him.
On one occasion Col. Winecoop, In
dian agent for the Arapahoe, took Mr..
Cody TO a place of meeting to distrib-

Indians. This place was named Big

Major Henry Inman was chief quar-
termaster of the department of the
Missouri under General Hancock, de-
partment commander from the year
1867 to 1869. The uprising OF the
Arapahoes, Cheyenne and Kiawa In

Major inman to employ scouts in ad-

IN INTEREST OF COOPER,
An Effort Being Made to Have

Although il was generally thought
that no effort would be made TO save
the life of Julius. alias Tots Coop

executed here on January ~ for the
murder Of George Harris, also color
ed, such an effort is now being made
by ex- Judge Daniel r. Magruder. one
of his counsel, and George W. Hyde,
a member of the jury in the case.
1t is believed that the signatures Of
o majority of the jury will be obtain
ed TO a petition for the Communication
Of the death sentence TO life imprison-
ment. though there is little public
sympathy for Cooper, either among
his own race or the white people.
Cooper killed Harris in a saloon on
Market Space by shooting him with a
revolver. The affair appeared to be
unprovoked, and there was evidence
that Cooper had purchased revolver
with the probable intention of shoot
ing Harris. The jury brought in a
verdict with a recommendation for
mercy, bat Withdrew the latter ON be-

a verdict was improper.
Cooper stated, after his conviction,

The theatregoers of Annapolis will
be pleased to hear of the engagement
of the. 9 nil en- &C o Robert b. Man
tell, who comes TO US next Thursday
and Friday. presenting Edward Bull
wer Lytton's historical drama of
"Richelieu, a play which is de-
servedly popular with all classes. The
story is one in which love, Jealousy
aud politics all play prominent part,
and the picturesque background which
the Court of Louis XIII. affords, lends
charm to she picture. The character
of the statesman Cardinal is one which
particularly suits Mr.. Mantell, and
the scene in which he puts TO rout his
enemies by launching at their head
the anathemas of his church is stirring
indeed. The character Of Julie de
Mortmar, the heroine of the play, will
be rendered by MISS Marie Booth
Russell. This lady received most
fiattering notices for this part and her
long association with Mr.. Mantell
enables her to give him more than or
dinarily good support. The play will
be produced in first class style and the
supporting cast is an excellent one.

Fight Ferociously When cornersd.
The brown or black bear of Califor-
MIA is the most cowardly animal that
roams the hills. He is a worse thief
than the northern wolverine. and at
the same time better natured than half
the farm dogs the hunter chances
upon. A pair at play will furnish
more amusement than three ring cir
cus-and run like scared deer if you
but show yourself through the brush;
in short. the brown bear is the most
"amoosin' cuss" Of all. If approached
properly.
But don't be misled into picking

black or the brown bear Zone and the
same animal under variations of
pelage) will fight ferociously when
cornered. You win come upon them,
too. in the most unexpected place: not
even the wilful jacksnipe can beat
brown bear in variability OF moods or
choice of feeding ground. Travelling
In the mountains one is apt to come
upon Sir Bruin drinking from a little
wayside stream and the very next day
having descended into the foothills,
find possibly pair playing about some
poorly guarded sheep camp.
Good natured as is either of these
smaller bears, which weigh from 400
to 500 pounds apiece. it is best to
know how TO hunt them before at
tempting IT, AS with most big game.
the best way to hunt them for sport
is alone. armed with a reliance rife
and a good knife. though there i sell
dom occasion for using the latter IL
the hunter keeps cool. If one is hunt
ing for hides. or TO rid a section Of
undesirable bear neighbors, a well
trained little dog is probably the best
ally. Fox terriers usually are best, as
they are quite resourceful and brave to
a degree. A little dog brought up in a
good bear country, where he has roam
ed the hills all his life. has had the
best training possible. and is prize to
be taken care Of
AS has been said a black or brown
bear seldom keeps one address long
but likely most of them just now are
down among the oaks. where the
fallen acorns afford them an easy liv-
ing. There are pc isibly a good many
along the willow fringes of the larger
water courses. but once let the bear
get first sight Of you there. and he will
make off into a tangle of elder scrub,
willow underbrush and blackberry
vines, in which you and your dogs will
last about three minutes.
If bear could be persuaded to play
football. he would make the SWEETEST
line bucker ever on a gridiron, judg-
ing by the way he goes through a
tangle of underground. and the way a
bear of any,species will attend TO dog
that dare TO follow him alone into
such a retreat is certainly scandalous.

1t Is also stated upon good authority
that Doane has disappeared from his
Old haunts, near the Arizona border,
and this, coupled with the fact that
Doane was In Albuquerque less than
ten days ago, which must have been
after Lyons was murdered, and that
he left there hurriedly for parts I'M
