A Bear Hunt.

Last Thursday morning a
posse of men and dogs struck in.
to the dense woods five miles
from Bellefountain in the Bunker
Hill country in search of an out.
law bear.
Soon after reaching the BEARS
domain the dogs struck his
track and soon routed Mr.. Bruin
from his early morning slumbers'
One of the dogs OF the Lyle
Bros. ran in too close and receiv.
ed slap from the effects ot
which the dog died the next
morning.
The chase then began in earn
est with the bear in the lead and
Elmer Lyle and the dogs making
a close second. During the
chase the bear bayed and Elmer,
who had no gun, thought be
would help keep the bear bayed
until his companions could come
to his aid, but the bear made a
dive for Elmer and Elmer made
dive for a tree.
After other numerous exciting
turns the bear was finally killed.
Upon a post-mortem examination
the fact was disclosed that bruin
had been dining heavily on some
neighboring hocks of goats. His
bearship, when dressed, tipped
the scales at 275 pounds.

were met under a large floral bell
by Rev. T. S. Handsaker who,
with the impressive ring cere-
mony, spoke the words that made
the two husband and wife.
Winsome and charming was
the bride in a dainty costume of

quet of rose buds and accompan-
led by the brides maid prettily
attired in white organdie.
The parlor was artistically dec
GRATED with Oregon grape, sweet
peas and smilax, and the color
scheme in the dining room was
pink and white.
After congratulations the guests
partook of pink and white
luncheon, during which Miss
Mabel Ready sang 'Take Her,
but be Faithful Still" The
brides bouquet was caught by
Miss Dollie Pfouts, and at the
moment of departure the newlv
married pair were pelted with
flowers instead of the usual show
er of rice and old shoes.
There were thirty guests, some
from the state of Indiana, and
from Roseburg and McMinnville,
and many handsome presents
were left tor the young couple.
The bride is one of Benton

thy young women. She gradu-

He Makes Money.

There is one farmer, at least,
in Benton county who is making
money. He is Gene Beal, once
a student at OAC, now operating
a ranch a few miles north of this
city.
Be it understood, however, that
Mr.. Beal is not raising wheat and
oats for market, but only enough
for his own use. When his crop
is ready to gather, it is put away
in his barn to later fatten hogs,
feed cows and other stock, where

ordered, It's n serious thing for an op-
orator to hold up the Continental Limited
without orders, but MOdricker did not
care A life possibly hung in the balance,
and he intended to act first and get orders
afterward. The operator at HartsmRn
station demurred. Quickly AIodricker told
the circumstances-said that he would take
all blame. The other operator was of the
same stripe as Modricker. He did not call
up the train dispatcher; he trampled upon
red tape, and seizing a red flag he ran out
Of his shanty. The limited was then just
appearing into view far down the track.
The operator planted himself between the
rails and with red flag aloft he doggedly
held his place waving the danger signal
The engineer seeing the flag had clRpped
on the air and brought the train TO a stop
within few feet OF the station. The
conductor came running ahead, irritably
demanding to know the cause Of the stop.
The operator pointed to the rear end Of the
train. In a collapsed heap on the ground
was the form Of a woman. Conductor and
operator went back. They were joined by
curious passengers, When they arrived the
woman, who happened to be young and
pretty, had struggled to her feet. The op-
orator explained the circumstances and the
girl was assisted aboard the train. The
rest OF the journey to Logensport was made
reclining on the cushions in the train. Miss
Milliron was surrounded by a group OF
awed passengers, who tried to get her to
talk OF her experiences. But she was too
unnerved to talk. Arriving here she went
to her home unassisted, but a reaction set
in, and as the result Of her wild ride and
terrible experiences she was confined to
the house several days.-Cincinnad En-

be tunnels enough for all at prices to meet
any pocketbook. When they are completed
New York will lay claim to the title Of
the greatest tunnel city in the world. But
II is not only in underground work that
the city Is spending millions. Altogether a
