SHE HUGGED A BEAR
The Daring Act of Young Texas
Girl With a Beast in YELL
IoMStone Park

SEATTLE, March BEAR hugging
is an amusement which few people,
especially young women, would care to
indulge in, and it is seldom that one
would have the chance to embrace
real live "bruin" in his native haunts,
even if he-or she-had the nerve and
the inclination to try it. The oppor-
tunity, however, came not long ago to
Miss Bessie Wells, a pretty little Texas
lass, who visited in Seattle recently,
and she startled w. D. Cameron, who
happened to be with her at the time, by
giving full-grown cinnamon bear at
Yellowstone park a good squeeze around
the neck.
Miss Wells is the 15-year- old daughter
of a wealthy cotton dealer of AUSTIN,
Tex. Cameron described Miss Wells
daring escapade as follows:
"Our party had stopped for the noon
hour luncheon and while the meal was
being prepared Miss Wells and started
out to pick a few berries. We had gone
but a short distance when, about a hum
dred feet away, we saw a large clnna-
man bear browsing among the bushes.
Knowing that all the animals in the
park are more or less tame, we ap-
preached the beast. 1 held up my
hand and the bear, thinking that L
had something for him to eat, stood on
his hind feet and reached up. but, find
ing that he had been deceived, shook
his head angrily and walked away My
young companion then ran back to the
wagon and returned with few cookies.
Again we approached the bear and
Miss Wells held out one of the cookies
in her hand. The bear repeated the
same performance he had gone through
with me, but this time he found somc-
thing. Miss Wells gradually drew back
her hand while the bear was reaching
for it, until the animals head was over
her shoulder and then, while he was
eating the cookie, she reached around
his neck with her other arm and Rugged
him tightly My heart seemed to stop
beating, but I dared not yell, for the
animal would be startled and attack
the girl. When he had finished eating
the cookie. however, he merely dropped
down on all fours again and sauntered
off into the brush"

The fourth concert of the Los An

SET STERNP0ST FOR
NEW SAN PEDRO BOAT
ANCIENT CEREMONIES AT THE
SHIPYARD
Graft Will Ply Between San Pedro
and San Diego-Largest GLASS;
5ottomed Boat Nearly Finished.
Hodup Story Being Investigated

Special to The Herald
SAN PEDRO, March 1.-San Pedro
and Long Beach persons gathered at
the Fulton shipyard at Terminal this
afternoon to see the sternpost set for
the new passenger boat which is being
built by the Nelson Napier Navigation
company and is to ply between here
and San Diego. The ancient ceremonies
of placing coins hereunder to give the
vessel good luck and keep away hob
goblins were carried out.
This will be the largest boat ever
built at this place. 1t is of 22-fo9t
beam, 1877 feet in length, has a 101a-foot
hold and will have a carrying capacity
of 600 passengers with comfort. 1t will
have twin screws with engines of 400
horsepower and will be able to go
eighteen miles per hour.
1t is expected that this boat will be
completed by June l and the first trip
is unofficially scheduled for that time.
AS soon as this boat is completed and
out of the way another of the same size
and capacity will be put on, so that
there will be one each way every day.
Capt. Napier who is an experienced
navigator and boatbuilder, has sold out
most OF MS interests in the company to
eX-Mayor Emo of Long Beach but will
be retained to look after the building
of the craft. Col. Nelson is now at the
head of the company and it's manager.
The name of the new boat has not been
settled upon, but it may be called the
San Pedro.
There is being constructed at the
Fulton yards one of the finest glass
bottomed boats ever built. 1t is ready
for the engines, which are slow in
arriving. 1t will be called the Empress
and will be used almost entirely at
Catalina. 1t is so feet in length with
an 1S1a-foot beam and a 27-foot extreme
beam. 1t has seats for $50 people who
can watch the marine gardens. 1t was
built for the Meteor Boat company.
1t turns out that the man shot and
robbed near Obispo yesterday was A.
P. Wilson, young man from San
Pedro instead of tourist The young
man is collector for an insurance
The money taken was not
his. Wilson was not nearly so badly
injured as it was at first thought. Ac-
cording to his story he turned to run
away from the footpad and was shot
from the rear in the arm, but the bullet
seems to have gone in from the front
and there are powder marks on his
coat, which would lead the officers 10
think that the gun must have been
very close when the shot was fired.

RIVERSIDE, March 1.-Two land

Another landmark that is being torn
down is Cosy Nook Cottage" for
more than a quarter of a century the
home of DR.. and Mrs. George H.

T SAN BERNARDINO, March 1.-The
heavy storm of yesterday, accompanied
by q precipitation of hail which COW
cred the ground and made it possible
for SNOWFALL fights among the orchards
fragrant with orange blossoms, is sup
posed to have done considerable dam
age, owing to the fact that the warm
weather of the last few weeks has
brought out the blossoms on the april
cot, peach and other fruit trees. These
were caught in heavy frost this
morning.
Redlands reports damage to the cit
rus fruit, but says that at the present
time the extent of the damage cannot
be accurately estimated, though it is
believed to be quite extensive. There
are likely to be frosty mornings for
several days, owing to a heavy coating
of snow along the mountain range,
which has chilled the atmosphere.
Monte Heck, one of the young men
connected with a local messenger Of

ing to raise a rough house in a saloon,

He had alleged conspiracy, but the
court held that the charge had not
been established.
The rain record for the season is
9.54, while last season at this time it
was 1905 The ground is said to be
in better condition now than at this

from north winds, and the rains this

Notes for Women
American Women's JeweIry

American women as a rule wear very
little jewelry, and it is rather the fad
of women with beautiful figures, hands
and feet not to wear any ornament at
all--not even the smallest brooch, or
single ring, or the smallest bangle. One
evening at Sherry's one saw quite
dozen women beautifully and most ex-
pensively gowned, with not a single
jewel. One woman wore a pale gray
crepe de chine trimmed in rare old
Italian fifteenth century lace, with
elbow sleeves and a graceful skirt. 1t
nodded her figure like corset. Her
fair hair was crowned by a black pic
ture hat of good, definite lines, and she
wore no ornaments or jewels of any
kind, either on arms or hands or neck,
and she looked most beautiful and dis
tinguiShed.

COUDERSPORT, Pa, March Ito
overcome his wife's dread of burglars
and fires W. S. Pfeiffer of Roulette,
near this place, has fitted out his house
with an alarm system elaborate enough
for a city. Sixteen miles of insulated
wire and a dozen gongs make up this
system, and Mrs. Pfeiffer isn't bit
scared any more.
The only chance a burglar has to get
into the dwelling is to climb down a
chimney, a la Santa Claus, and it
would take living skeleton to do that
Anywhere else a thief would touch off
the dozen burglar fire bells.
About the stoves and in every room
in the house are thermostats, which
explode and set off the alarms if the
thermometer registers above certain
mark. So fire has as much chance as
thief.
