BRUINS PREDICAMENT.
Thievins Bear Walked Into Trsp
Set by AIphonse Dsudet,

bear is always an interesting character,
but with a barrel over his head ne is a
phenomenon rarely witnessed, says the Du-
luth Tribune. Yet this was the way it stood
in one of the camps operated by John Win
ness, at Fifty-six Mile Post one night last
week, and in the ensuing mixup Mr.. Bruin
came off with flying colors.
For some time the cook at the Witness
camp had been bothered by the mysterious
disappearance of meat, which had been kept
in a barrel on the outside of the cabin, and
there were many quarrels between him and
the lumberjacks before he became convinced
that he was up against the depredations of
four-legged animal
al feex him." said Alphonse Daudet, who
attends to the cuisine in the Witness camp,
and, taking piece of meat, he placed it in
the bottom of the barrel and then drove
several long spikes pointed downward through
the sides of the barrel near the top Several
of the campers who were on to the game
sat up and watched for the invader
Along about eleven o'clock up come
furry shadow in the bright moonlight and
into the month of the barrel went the shaggy
head. The meas was there all right but
when the animal came to withdraw his head
matters we're not all to his liking The bar
rel would not let go. Do what he could, the
spikes stuck fast in his neck and he became
Infatuated. The whole camp was aroused
After rolling and tumblng about the Vi
cinity OF the cabin for about ten minutes the
natural cunning of the bear began to assert
itself and he began wandering around evil
IDENTITY in search of stump of tree which
at last he finally Numbered against Then
the real fun began.
Standing on his hind legs, the bear would
pivot around with the speed of trained
acrobat and bring the barrel kerbump against
the side of the stump, with the evident in
tention of smashing it and freeing himself.
a dozen times this performance was repeated
before the barrel finally flew to pieces and
the bear was once more able to see the
aurora borealis and make a bee line for
somewhere in the direction of the Canadian
boundary.
Mr. Witness states that he had the only
gun in the camp, and he was absent at the
time. None of the Others thought of taking
an axe to Mr.. Bruin, being too absorbed in
watching the performance.-New York

Doctors Dunbar, Allen and Cross
testified to making an autopsy and re-
ported the finding of cuts and wounds
on the head, but while the wounds suf-
ficient to daze person and perhaps
render one unconscious. they were not
serious enough to cause death or directly
lead to it. The physicians all reiterated
their opinion, that Goodroe died from
loss of blood and shock following the
accident in which his legs were cut
off.

HORSE SAVES BABY.
touryearold Anna Patrino Drawn
from Morris Canal by Old Charlie.
Who Draws the Junk Wagon
Mother Takes Child from Equine
Rescuer

According to Mrs. Maria Patrino, of No.
5I5 Pamrapo avenue, Jersey City, her hus-
bands bay horse, Charlie, which draws a
Junk wagon, saved the life of Anna, their
four-year old daughter, last week, when the
child fell into the Morris Canal, which runs
through the field in the rear of the Patrino
home.
Anna took her doll for an airing and
Charlie followed his little mistress when she
walked to the canal. While leaning over
the bank Anna made a misstep Still clutch
ing her doll the little girl fell into the water.
When she came to the surface the terrified
child screamed. Displaying remarkable in
telligence, the old horse plunged into the
canal, seized the skirts of his little mistress
in his teeth, lifted her from the water and
climbed the bank to safety
Mrs. Patrino, uttering prayers to the Ma
donna, ran from her home to the canal, fol-
lowed by her neighbors. Charlie held fast
to Anna, until her mother relieved him of
the precious burden. Anna was badly fright
ened. Her first words were Mamma,
Charlie saved me and dolly"
As reward for his bravery Charlie was
given generous meal of oats. When Patrino
was told of his daughters rescue he hurried
to the stable, carressed Charlie and broke his
whip, declaring that he would never again
beat the faithful animal.-New York Herald.
