WASHINGTON, Aug. s1.-The an
nouncement that Public Printer Still.
lings has suspended for 80 days an
employee of the bindery named Fred
Schlick, renews interest in one Of the
most curious Of the many difficulties
that. has beset the Public Printer since
he took charge
schlfck was suspended for "mlscon-
duct" and his misconduct consisted
In his interfering and victously abus-
ing fellow-workman in the bindery,
who had aroused his wrath because he
had done more work than schlick
thought was sufficient for one day.
The bookblnders in the Government
Printing Office have bitterly resented
a recent order from the acting fore
man of the blndery, considerably In
creasing the amount of work which
the bookbinders are expected to do
each day. Their union has taken for
mai action and negotiations are now
pending between representatives of
the union and the Public Printer Mr.
schlick. however. could not wait until
the Public Printer and the union had
settled the matter between them. He
demonstrated with a fellow-workman
and when called upon to apologize for
the abusive language he had used he
refused and was accordingly suspend
ed.
Another bookbtnder. named Alvin
Tanner, is also under suspension. Tar
ner refused to do the amount of work
which Foreman Ashton ordered him
to do. Tanner was Immediately plac,
ed upon the payroll of the union, SO
that he will receive from the union
the same sum Of money he would earn
If he were at work.
Tanners case is before the Public
Printer, but no action has been taken.

BRAVE WOMAN KILLS BIG

His Life.

Tilamook, Ore.-Mrs. M j. Cone
who lives with her husband at Netarts
Ore, and who rents the Maxwell place
at Netarts Beach, showed that she
was woman of courage and pluck in
an exciting bear hunt. She was re.
turning home from the Maxwell place
alone on horseback and suddenly
came across a large bear in her way.
Mrs. Cone drove her horse at full
speed to her home and, obtaining q
Winchester and shepherd dog. re.
turned to the place where she had
seen the bear. The beast was soon 10
Gated at the sheep corral, and, getting
within close range Of the bear, she
fired her first shot, which broke the
bears fore lega The wounded beast
made on ON three legs.
Mrs. Cone followed it up and fred
again at close range, the bullet strik-
ing the bear in the nose and coming
out at the side of the head. For some
time the bear wallowed around, with
Mrs. Cone and the dog after it, when
it dashed on into the thick brush.
This did not daunt Mrs. Cone in the
least,. for she followed as fast a. her
clothes would permit, some of which
she threw OF SO as not to impede her
progress.
Every once in a while she came up
with the bear, and did not miss an op-
poztunity to fire. For over mile she
chased her quarry in the thick brush
and succeeded in hitting the animal
four times. The dog. nipping at the
bears heels, forced him to take to q
log, where desperate fight occurred
between the two animals. The bear
kept tanning the dog on with its paw.
