A BIG BEAR HUNT.
President ROOseyeIl's Great Western
Hunting Trip Discounted.

Yesterday morning dawned fair
and bright, one Of the few balmy
days in many months, and peace
lowered like a halo over the beau
tiful city Of Bryan. The hum OF
industry was almost hushed, the
farmers being too busy with the
hoe and the plawshare TO come to
town, and the perfect quiet sooth.
ed the mind to day dreams.
But what was that passed from
lip to lip that soon caused hurry
ing to and fro and mounting in
hot haste" A bear had been seen
near town. Yes; and tracked and
pursued real, live, sure enough
bear, which had probably fled
from his familiar haunts TO escape
high water.
Reports came that the animal
had been seen near the Gentry
place, and had stampeded bunch
Of cattle, causing them to break
from their pasture into field; and
that later Bruin was seen by an
Italian farmer carrying a wagon
load of negroes to his farm, and
when the negroes gave chase the
beast trotted carelessly along until
out Of sight.
On hearing these reports il was
the first impulse Of some to tele-
graph for President Roosevelt, but
cooler heads prevailed, and parties
went out speedily and sure enough
found genuine bear tracks with
their peculiar shape and the un.
mistakable claw prints in the mud
and soft ground. Having only
one dog with them-whioh show.
ed no particular fonduess for fresh
bear tracks-and being unable TO
find the bear themselves, these
parties returned and reported.
That settled i'll Bryan is
hunting town for your whiskers
any old time, and with a bear
hunt in sight the game was strict
ly on acquisitions for dogs,
guns and horses were Immediately
made, and the old timers as well

as the younger Nimrods, were soon
in the saddle and riding post haste
like an army with banners for the
scene.
The dogs struck the trail and
ran it fairly we'll for half a mile
down 10 Turkey creek, where they
lost il and wsre unable TO make
further progress, though the tracks
seen up to this point were unmis-
taxable. A bear had been there,
and a good big fellow.
The ground was DOGGY and diff.
ficult to get over, and A. +. Wor-
ley's horse fell with him, but for
tunately Mr.. Worley was not hurt
beyond a few scratches. II was
Mr.. Worley's unlucky day, as la
ter he got a kick on leg by anoth-
err horse, from which he is limp
ing. Sheriff Nall quit his horse in
the chase, got separated from the
crowd and walked home.
A bear is said TO have been seen
on Cedar Creek Monday last, and
this is probably the same animal
his way across the country.
The boys failed to get the bear,
out they jumped fox and caught
him after a fine chase.

there. In 1892 he arrested Hardy. Norris
and Cant for the murder OF Peter H. Young.
As the result of that capture he was adj

Kramer was sent to the detective office

to the eighth precinct, and afterward to
the ninth precinct. He also served in the

appointed to the police force on september
8, 1894, and was sent to the eighth pre-
cinct. But he stayed there only month,
when he was sent to the seventh precinct,
where he had lived and grown up. This
long time spent in Georgetown makes him
a valuable man to the precinct owing to the
large acquaintance he possesses of the
town and people. For nine years he was
on the "Boston beat" one of the toughest
In the section. and his record there won
him the promotion to precinct detective on
October last. He was with Sergt. Passau

by rushing from his own line into the thick
est of the fray and rescuing a comrade who
was badly wounded on the field. He was
the target for many Indian rifles. The
courage displayed on this occasion was not
ed by his superior officers, and, as result,
he was given a medal of honor, the highest
award which can be conferred on any Amer
lean soldier. On June IL. 1876. he took part
in the battle CT Rose Bud. and somewhat
later In the battle of Slim Buttes, In Da-
kota. In the latter engagement he won
further recognition for courage by rescu-
ing Lieut.. A. II. Won Luttwitch and was
commended for 1t.
Sergt. w. w. Easley, the senior sergeant,
is also a familiar figure throughout the
ing done duty there for many years. He
was born in Fayette county. w. Va, on
July 20, 1883 and was reared on a farm
there. In 1880 he came to this city and en-
listed in Battery b, I'd Artillery under
Capt Breckinbridge and was stationed at
the Washington barracks for three years.
He made an excellent record, and when he
passed his examination for the police force
his record was so good that he was jumped
over the heads of one hundred applicants,
being appointed September /, 1888 He was
sent first to the third precinct and after
serving there for six years he was sent to
the ninth precinct soon after its establish
ment. In 1880 he was made a mounted po-
llceman and was sent to the seventh pre-
cinct, where he has been ever since. with
the exception of four months just after lie
served in the tenth precinct. He was made
an acting sergeant on July l, 1901 after he
had made many excellent arrests. and he
was made full sergeant on November /.
1902
Arrested Jack the Slasher.
Sergt. Easley has the reputation for en-
ergy and activity when on duty, and as a
result he has been interested in many I'M
portant arrests. Shortly after his appoint
ment he arrested Phil Sheridan for shoot
Ing conductor on q street car at and
21st streets northwest and robbing the
cash box. He was commended In general
orders by Mai. Dye for the arrest He
was on the "Foggy Bottom beat for sew
cral years. running from Dist street to
Rock creek and from Pennsylvania avenue
to the river. He arrested" Jack the Slasa-
er' at Mrs. Hunts house in Tenleytown.
Thirty cases Of housebreaking were placed
against the man, and he received SEN
tence of thirty years in the penitentiary.
He also arrested Armstead Taylor for the
murder of the Rosenstein family Taylor
escaped from the scene of the crime and
took up an abode on Fowler's Hill, near

mills, the girls reform school and several
manufacturing plants The precinct con-
tains also the residences of numerous per-
sons of wealth and influence.
An important point in the precinct where
police Officers are required Is the Aqueduct
bridge the entrance into this city from
Virginia and Fort Myer. Across this bridge
there is a constant stream of people all day
and night. This Is popular avenue of
escape for criminals who are wanted IN
the District. II leads to another juris-
diction. Many an escape has been cut on
suddenly at that point by the recognition OF
the criminal by the keen-eyed policeman.
The men who do duty at the bridge are the
first to be notified when crime has been
pommitted and the criminal evades arrest.
The men doing duty here-Policemen G.. W.
Edwards. G.. V. Johnson and J. A. Hall
are especially picked for this place, and
zach can recognize men from descriptions
and upon whom confidence can be placed.

beat He had many acquaintance while
there and his power to get information
where others failed marked him as a yalu-
able man. He was made acting sergeant on
June 10. 1892, and on September l. follow
ing, he was promoted to the rank of ser
geant. He continued to do duty In the third
precinct until February 8, 1899, when he
was transferred to the seventh precinct
where he has since remained. While in the
Georgetown precinct he has been active in
many important cases, and when called
upon to act as lieutenant, performs his du-
ties well. He has never been before the
police trial board during his long term Of
service.
Thanked by Commissioners.
A man of brilliant record for important
arrests and attention to duty is Sergt J.. S.
Kramer, the second Lieutenant of the
seventh precinct. He was born IN Balti-
more, Md, February II, 1861, and lived in
