KILLED THE BEAR.
Against the Law. But Had to Do It to Save Himself.

Pittsburg, Dec 1S.--Dayid kyler, a wealthy farmer of Hollidaysburg, Pa, near here, was acquitted in the courts of that place last evening up- on charge of shooting bear out of season, made by W. M. Minnegan, a state game warden.
 T was out, hunting for foxes and not for bear," Mir Kyler testified. T came upon the animal suddenly and without. moments hesitation it at tackled me I was in close quarters and had to protect myself. When the bear was almost upon me fired two loads of bird shot into it without any apparent effect however. It was then nip and tuck between bruin and myself. In the struggle that, followed I felt several times that the maddened animal would be the winner and my arms were badly torn by its claws. Finally I got possession of stout club and killed it."
 The jury immediately exonerated Mfr Kyler and imposed portion of the costs on Mir Minnegan, the game warden who had arrested Kyler.
 Owing to MT Kyler's prominence and wide circulation given to his fierce battle with the bear. the court room was crowded with friends who applauded the verdict.

RUN IN WITH A cow
South End Man Knocked Out in 
 the Encounter.

A south end man is laid up with a sore jaw resulting from a severe upper cut of his own clenched fist the other evening while milking COW. He is man of peace and when no- ticed with a discolored face and asked the cause of it he explained that the COW kicks up her heels once in so often and when she does she usually throws them almost as high as the ceiling. When she takes one of these fits he ties her hind legs to the floor and in this way succeeds in milking her without much trouble. for once the animal finds out that she is held fast she reconciles herself to the situation and doesn't stir hand or foot" On this particular occasion he was in a hurry and thought he would dispense with the strap and take his chances. He had just got started when the COW let fly one hoof and took him on the arm a little above the elbow, forcing his
 hand upward against his face with sufficient force to knock him of the stool and almost break his jawbone. Prior to this he believed it paid to have your own milk and butter, but now he makes no bones of stating that it is cheaper and pleasanter to go to the market for such things.

LlLLEY AND SHERRY.
Will There Be Row Over Distribu.
 tion of Spoils?

Mr Guernsey has become very ac- tive of late seeing to his fences ani on the other hand MT Kelsey has his friends working for him. The town committee has become involved in the scrap. the echoes of which reach MT Lilley every evening in Wash ington.
 MT Guernsey is popular postmas- ter. He is probably one of the most popular that has served Waterbury in many a year. lie is decidedly more popular with his party than is Mir Kelsey and if it happens that he shall go down, it would not be sur prisiug if the people took up the matter and had one or two confer ences with President Roosevelt
 Congressman at Large George l.. Lilley and Congressman N. D. Sperry from this, the second district are at variance over the spells of office and the local postmastership is involved. Mir Lilley has declared himself, it is said. for Benjamin R. Kelsey, while Mir Sperry is sticking out for John H. Guernsey the present postmaster. Seeing that the position is in the mar ket, so to speak, Frank w. Wool worth, a clerk in the postofice and James H. Filling, president of the board of aldermen are said to be looking for 1t. It is said however, that Kelsey. one of the most unpopu- lar men in the republican party is Mir Lilley's choice.
 MT Sperry claims the patronage is his to bestow as he is congressman from this district, while MT I4illey in- sists that as Waterbury is his home town its patronage is his by every political right. In the meantime 1t should be remembered that President Roosevelt. who has something to do with the nomination of postmasters, has declared that he shall never re- move a postmaster unless for ner- nicious activity in politics or for in- capability. s5.-

Hundreds of the brown men are monthly arriving at Honolulu but their stay there is brief. the great army being bound in the direction of the mainland. @

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Spreckels Thows a Bomb Into the
 Camp of Extortionists.

San Francisco. Dec 1S.-Startling testimony was given by Rudolph Spreckels yesterday in the proceed ings before Superior Judge Dunne in which Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz and Abraham Ruef are seeking to set aside the five indictments found against each of them for felony ex- tortion.
 Spreckels, who had been called to the witness stand by the defense. tes- tified that Abraham Ruef had called on him at the time of the big muni- cipal bond issue and asked him to form a syndicate to take all the bonds thus authorized. Spreckels was un- able to see what guarantee there was that if syndicate were formed 1t secure the bonds, as under the law they must be put up at public auc- tion and sold to the highest bidder.
 Ruef informed Spreckels. accord ing to his testimony on the stand. that this could be easily arranged. for he would have a general strike declared on all the street railroads San Francisco in this condition rela- and tie up the different lines. With San Francisco in this condition rela- tive to its passenger transportation he calculated. 90 Spreckels says. that no outside capital would bid on the city's bonds snd the syndicate would have a clear field.
