A BEAR KILLS CATTLE
ON TIE HARDSCRABBLE

The farmers of North and South
Hardscrabble canons are up in arms
over the depredations to their cattle
by big bear that has been making
inroads on the herds in the last two
weeks. No less than q dozen head
have been killed and devoured within
that time and the farmers have de-
termined to wage warfare against Mr..
Bruin. Among some OF the losers by
the bear Is John Piementas and man
named Edwards. The last mentioned
man is farming on Isaac Sanders
farm.
The carcasses of the cattle have
been found on the hillsides and in the
seen very plainly. Here's chance
for some OF the Florence rifiemen to
satisfy their desires in telling n bear
for the farmers there would like TO
have some Of the crack shots come up
and help them exterminate the pest
The farmers. however. are not going
to wait for assistance from Florence
for they are going to set ont traps and
poisoned meats and go after bruin
with heavy calibered rifles.
The bear first got in his work about
two weeks ago and encouraged by
non sistance, he has become more
bold in his work. At first he attack
cd the cattle on the hillsides and now
comes down to the corralls to tackle
the milk cows His work has 30 fai
been confined to n point above Green.

impression that during the winter
months when food IL less plentiful,
that he might come down to wetmors

A SURPRISE About the biggest
surprise that Manager Houston OF the
opera house has had for some time
was the attendance at the show last
night Since the show was an old
one and had been on the road until it
is worn threadbare he did not expect
much of an audience, but the seating
capacity of the house was filled. It
WAS the largest attendance at any of
the shows this month. The company
which occupied the boards did not
put on the play as we'll AS they
might, but they probably had not been
on the road very long.

the Crocodile. ss

Tnsy Show the Power Of the Jaws 81
the Crocodile.
The power Of the jaws OF the croco-
ollie is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
In his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues. he had the metal
OF q large hook the thickness Of ordina-
~ telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap Of the jaws when selling
a live duck which he had used as a
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as IL divided by d knife.
This, again, was the work Of the snap
Of the jaws Of crocodile.
A Frenchman, NJ Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength of a
crocodile's jaws by means Of a dyna-
mometer. He found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted force 81
308 pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has AN enormous jaw power. on
one occasion an African traveller push
ed the butt end Of his gun into lions
mouth, and the pressure of the jaws
cracked it as though it had been struck
by steam hammer. 5S

when he set about the job.
Burns knew his business. For eight

One OF Burns best counterfeiting
catches was that Of two Costa Ricans
who had been making In New York
city spurious notes Of the 100 peso de,
nomination. The United States gov.
eminent was requested by the govern.
ment OF Costa Rica to aid In capturing
the counterfeiters When Burns went
to work on the case, after others had
failed, he had only sofa containing
$4,000, 600 In the Costa Rican counter
felt wrapped In burlap and ready for
shipment to the country where the
money could be used. The burlap was
marked Xxx 1884, That was all,
but that lettering gave Burns the clew
which led him through an overall fac
tory at Newburg, N. z, to the home
OF widow in Long Island City who
had a son-in-law with a Central Amer
lean name. This young man, Ricardo
de Requisens, and his confederate,
General FREDERICK Mora, are now serv-
ing term for counterfeiting, their
plates having been confiscated. BY
these arrests Burns prevented a revo-
luton In Costa Rico, the spurious mon
ey being intended to defray the ex.
penses Of a revolt.
Burns also caused the capture or

ney and DR.. Bradford, had manufac-

One Of the attorneys associated with
the prosecution In San Francisco said
the other day:
Burns never misses meal. I never
| saw him In too much OF hurry to
take his hour for dinner at the regular
time. It is all In q days work with
Burns. and when he turns In at night
| he sleeps like top. 8
Never Delays.

4 spoke up: ..And he never procrasti-
mates. asked him the other night IL
he thought he could get man we
wanted and bring him to the Office In
the morning. b
What's the matter with getting
him nowr said Burns. He took down
i the telephone receiver and called up q
saloon. His man was there. Burns mo-
tilted him that It would be better FOR
his health IL he came around ct once.
Il He came.n
4 Mr.. Langdon then proceeded to re.
j mark that Detective Burns never
wastes any time In biufing. Every
one here In town said the district at

4 Chief Wilkie of the secret service
4 credits Burns with having q sixth
sense, SO that he can tell by instinct
when man Is lying or when he has
told all he knows about a certain sub
i ject. In the Oregon land cases Mr..
Heney once thought witness was
holding something back.
sHe has told all he Knows said
4 Burns. It turned out that Burns was
right Heney thought another witness
n had made complete confession and
4 was about to let him 60.
Keep at him" urged Burns.
The witness told the most incrfmfnat-
ing part OF his story afterward.

popular with the men he has RIM to

faculty Of getting his victims to like

Those who were not cowed by fear
gave him applause.
I Burns was born in Columbus, O., for /
ty-six years ago. His father was q
tailor. The young man learned to cut
suits. He was twenty-six years OLD
when he made the discovery that he
was cut out for something else He
ran down forgery In q local election
case with such success that he went
into the sleuth line for life. Not long
afterward Burns went to st. Louis,
where his first big triumph in his new
profession was won. A gang had been
renting houses, furnishing them, insur-
ing the furniture and burning the
houses to get the Insurance. Many
thousands of dollars had been secured
in this way. Burns went on the job
and landed the miscreants.
The young man was called to the
government secret service. He became
the Nemesis of counterfeiters. Burns
broke up some Of the most successful
counterfeiting gangs ever known in
this country. There was, for instance.
the Taylor-Briddell crowd OF Penpsyl-
vania. These men spent 100000 IN
producing paper like that used in
printing United States money. They
had made $500 900 in counterfeiting
cigar revenue stamps. Then they man
ufactured hundred dollar bill which
was accented BY bani tellers and even
by subtreasury men.
Burns was assigned to the case. Es
intercepted q letter from Kendig &
Jacobs. cigarmakers Of Lancaster, Pa.
to Taylor and Briddell, engravers, in
Philadelphia. Burns opened the letter.
found therein three Of the bills, mark
ed them, resealed the envelope and
sent It along in the mails. In relating
the story Of this case be says:
Later when Chief Wilkie. and went.
to search Taylor and Briddells place
and arrest them pried open d drawer
in their desk. Found two Of the three
bills had marked. said to Wilkie,
loud enough for the men under arrest
to hear:
THAT'S funny. Jacobs told us there
were three Of these bills
'Briddell bit Burns he said, how
many men have you got under arrest
In this caseT named every man who
was connected with the case, none OF
whom was under arrest at the time.
That's enough for me- said Briddell.
We don't make any more trouble for
you He confessed everything on the
spot It was the opening Of the letter
that did the trick =

agent In getting evidence against the
land thieves. The remarkable success
Of his work there is a matter of recent
record But the United States gov
.ernment could not assign one Of its
agents to do detective work In case
wherein the government was not Off
cially concerned. Accordingly Mr..
Burns found 1t necessary to resign
from the secret service In order to take
up the work in San Francisco. 1t is
understood that President Roosevelt
was glad to concur In Burns resigna-
ton because he felt that the man would
do valuable public work In California.
The government could afford to lend
one Of its best sleuths to q suffering
city for year or So That is how

Gate. gsse ss /
Boss OF the Battle at AII Points.
There are no false whiskers In the
makeup room OF William ]. Burns. He
Is not that sort Of sleuth. Such popu-
lar DISCUSSES would not serve In the
San Francisco case anyhow. Burns
was aware that the banded brigands
Of the city would employ their own de
tectives to. shadow him. He therefore
planned his campaign as commander
In chief rather than as fighter in the
ranks. Wearing his customary clothes,
which are somewhat more fashionable
than those. Of the average professional
man, he went about the city in his au-
tomobile, openly and freely, just like
any well groomed man Of affairs On.
