BIG BEAR HUNT
A Graphic Account of Thrilling

The following interesting descrip-

place in the mountains near Meeker,
Rio blanche county. n few days ago.
Is taken from the Meeker Herald:
William Cotton. Claude Hart and
Clay Ross (colored) all of Axial
while riding for cattle ran across
what is acknowledged TO be one OF
the largest silyer-tipped bears ever
seen in this section.
The party first ran across the bear
about three miles southeast of Axial
on Elkhorn. east of James Brothers
ranch. There being no gun or dog
among the party. they tried 10 rope
bruin and followed him about FIVE
miles with more or less success. Fin

TO go to neighbors for a gun. and
Mr.. Hart rode to the Matt Huston
ranch for the shooting iron" MIR.
Huston soon Joined the crowd and
the four fought the bear. Mr.. Huston

was discovered until killed. and
showed great courage and cunning.
The fifth shot tore open his side and
he rolled over and down an embank-

the creek than he stood on his hind
legs and with his front paws dug up

was ready fr another bout" This
time he went for Mr.. Huston. who
shot him again. hut not before wound

By this time the bear was fairly

the fight was against him, and ne
human being could have begged more
for mercy. although he fought game
to the end.
Mr. Huston had but seven cart

Exciting episodes abounded. Cla.

BERKELEY, July 15.-Marian Ster-
ling, sister of a poet and niece of
Frank c. Havens, a famous Oakland
fnancier, is to wed c. G. Cunha, uni
yersity sophomore, athlete and member
of a noted Hawaiian family. The nev
of the engagement has provided So
ciety with material for tea table gos-
sip sufficient in romantic features to
satisfy the most exacting lover of the
sentimental and the unique.
Miss Sterling declines to confirm or
deny the report of her engagement to
Cunha. contenting herself with the
statement that when formal announce
ment of the affair is made; If ever it
should be, all the details now desired
By society folk will be forthcoming.
She is at the home of her sister. Mrs.
Madeline Dimond.
Looming large in the background of
this interesting plan for an alliance
between the Cunhas of Honolulu and
the Sterlings of Oakland is the figure
of Havens, capitalist and stern uncle
of Miss Sterling. Once in the past
Havens is said to have interposed when
Miss Sterling was about to consummate
q romance by engaging to wed Stephen
French, an actor In Mrs. Patrick Camp
BELLS company, which played in San
Francisco year or two ago. Havens'
objection was sufficient to end that ro-
nance.
Now the Realty Syndicate million
aire, a hard-headed man of affairs, is
declared to have given Cunha chance
to prove his right to Miss Sterling's
hand by serving an apprenticeship. in
the offices of the Realty Syndicate.
Cunha is a mere youth, though a giant
In stature, and but recently ended his
freshman year at the State University.
He has begun work IN one Of Havens'
subsidiary concerns, toiling nightly
through the summer days, though his
family Is wealthy and prominent in
Honolulu society. His purpose, appar-
emily, is to demonstrate his worth as
a man and a worker, and incidentally
break down whatever bar there may be
between the hand of Miss Sterling and
his own.
George Sterling, the poet. whose
Testimony of the Suns" gave him a
measure of fame, is not reported TO
figure in this wedding engagement of
his sister, either as favoring or oppos-
ing the match. He Is dreamer, as are
all poets, and the society gossips fancy
that his love of the romantic may lead
him to see desirable features in a
marriage which would unite the proud
Sterlings to the CunhaS of Hawaii un-
der circumstances which are a bit un-
usual.
Miss Sterling Is said to have first
met young Cunha month ago, when
Sonny Cunha, brother of the univer-
sity sophomore, brought the Royal Ha-
waiian Band to San Francisco. The
band played at Piedmont Park. which
Havens' corporation controls, and there.
with moonlight and music as setting,
the love affair between c. c. Cunha and
Miss Sterling came into being. Both
were lovers of music, the Hawaiian
band was the sensation of the month,
the Cunhas were in evidence through
the bands performance, and Miss Ster-
ling found reason to fall in love both
with the band music and the Honolulu
lad to whom the melodies were as his
native tongue

LUTHERAN COLLEGE
IS DEDICATED.
Broad, Intellectual rain
ing in Ministry Need
ed, Says DR.. Schmidt

OAKLAND. July 15.-"Never in the
need than now for broad, intellectual
training in the ministry. Candidates
for the sacred office of preaching and
teaching religion should be prepared
with special attention to the worldly
as we'll as to the theological side of
education. For that reason the need of
colleges for skillful training of men
in religious work are essentially nee
essary."
Thus spoke the Right Rev. c. @.
Schmidt, vice president of the Luther
an synod of Missouri. today at the ded-
ication of the new Evangelical Luth-
eran College, Eighteenth avenue and
East Fifteenth street. Many church
men who are attending the convoca-
tfon of the California and Nevada dis
trict of the German Evangelical Luth-
eran synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
States, and many laymen, took part in
the exercises which were conducted
this afternoon in the college building,
formerly the Dingley mansion.
The services were opened with an
orchestral selection. The Rev. ]. H.
Thesis. pastor of the Evangelical Lu-
theran Zion Church of Oakland, opened
DR.. Schmidt delivered the address of
the day, dwelling in his principal
theme upon the purposes and uses or
the college in the work OF the church.
The clergyman declared that the prep
aration of young men for the pulpit
and and in the service of religion was
greatly simplihed by the systematic
studies which theological colleges pro-
vided. DR.. Schmidt urged that the peo-
pie realize the lasting benefits which
they were to derive ultimately from
the college, in that men would go
forth properly equipped to perform
their labors. The Rev. H Haserodt,
pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church OF
East Oakland, preached the sermon
and the Rev. ]. III. Schroeder offered
prayer and gave the benediction. The
Rev. G. A Bernthal officiated as presi-
dent of the California and Nevada dis
trict, which owns the college.
This evening a musical programme
was given at the college by the Lyric
Orchestra under the direction OF HI. G.
Rocker. Among the numbers were
singing by a trio composed OF ].
Combs, w. d. Corey and Walter
Druhe; vocal solo by Henry Koerber;
string quartet selection by Professor
]. Combs, H. IT. McKallor. Rudolph
Druhe and w. d. Coffey; a vocal solo
obligato by Professor Coomhs, and a
cornet solo by William lAlbers.
College work will begin soon under
the general direction OF the German
Lutheran synod of Missouri. which has
established twelve theological insti-
tutes. From its seminaries at st.
Louis. Mo-, and Springfield. ILL.,. nearly
$500 graduates have entered the minis
try since 1S47.
