Markley climbing maple and Scot fir tree.
The big LYNX began to climb the maple after
Markey, and, as he had dropped the AK, he
was obliged to depend upon his heavy cow
hide boots for weapons. By good luck his
first kick caught the lynx on the jaw, and as
it relaxed its hold, another vigorous kick so
discouraged it that it slid down the tree.
There it sat under the tree, with its two
companions staring up savagely out of their
great svery ewes. The thought of tumbling
down in the midst of that hungry trio was
not pleasant one and Markley yelled out to
Scott to shoot the beasts. How can l." yelled
back Scott, when you have all the cartridges
in your pockets?" This was decidedly en-
barrassng, and Markley, after thinking it
over, called to Scott to creep up carefully
through the brush and catch the box of cart
ridges when thrown to him. 'Not if | know
myself" cried Scott. "They'l make rush
for me and catch me, sure. The only thing
is to go back to camp for more cartridges"
Markley groaned at the prospect, but there
was nothing else to do SO there he sat for two
hours, until his companion returned with a
shotgun and the rifle and tumbled over two
of the lynxes, including the old fellow, the
third lynx running away. in the darkness.
Markley was SO cramped that he could scarce
ly walk back to camp, but he was glad to get
off so easily.

his sweetest music in the baying of
hounds has yet resource lett.
Though deer are disappearing, the northern
belt of the Eastern States abounds in an
animal which, if less noble game than our red
deer, affords fully as good sport for hounds
and men. This animal is the great Northern
hare.
In summer the hare is brownish-gray in col
OF, and at that season he roves throughout the
woods having an especial liking for burnt
patches where the forest trees have given place
to saplngs and raspberry bushes.
In the winter, as a protection from his
sharp-eyed enemies, his fur turns white and
he leaves the wooded ridges to seek shelter
from the winds and cold in the thick evergreen
swamps.
1t was toward such swamp, that lay like
a green island amid the gray expanse of leaf

party of hunters was advancing.
The snow, was already deep, and the wood
smooth, save where a hare had dashed the
snow aside with his large, padded feet, or
fox had tripped daintly along leaving one trim
track directly in front of another.
The hunters advanced in Indian file and
were led by one who looked about him with
an air of responsibility which bespoke the vet

CHANCE TO BE UNFAIR

The question whether it is right
for directors to close a mine to
inspection has been discussed
many times, and is likely to con-
tinue to form the subject of con-
troversy in the near future as
some of the directors of the South
German Company, at. Maldon,
have taken umbrage at reports
that have been circulated about
the claim, and have asked the
shareholders to agree to receive
reports supplied either by the
board or by the press, says the
Australasian.
If shareholders are satisfied
with this proceeding no fault can
be taken, but it is not a wise
thing to shut a mine up at any
time to the inspection of the pub
lie. The fact that the press is to
have access to the property robs
the order of half its sting. All
the same, if a shareholder took
the trouble, and went to expense
to 60 to the mine, he ought not
to be refused admission to the
workings. Trouble has arisen
through the speculation that has
taken place in the company's
shares. 1t is asserted chat. deal
ers have been too nice as to the
way in which they have first sold
shares short" and then circu-
lated adverse reports respecting
the claim. Of courseSthis is play
ing with loaded dice, and the
board has every reason TO feel
sore when such a thing is done.
They may also have cause to
grumble when a dealer puts his
name on the register merely to
be able to shoot out his shares on
a report by a nominee of his. Still,
if the mine is s9l right, no report

Personal
and
Otherwise
THE RANGE IS GOOD.
Cattle wintered on Clearwater
in Good Condition.

VIM. and James Wyllie and
Frank Harsh arrived the latter
part of the week from their trip
to the Middle Fork country in the
foothills Of the Bitter Roots, to
bring their cattle out to market.
They have Al head in the band,
all range-fed, and they are as fat
and good looking animals as one
could expect to see raised on any
feed and under the most favor
able conditions. The cattle will
be held on Red river for a time
to await a better market, when,
probably, they will be driven
outside.
The trip to and from the Mid
die Fork was not without Incl
dent; it required three weeks
longer than the parties figured
on, but the outing was enjoyed.
The delay was caused by swollen
streams, the party having to
camp two weeks on the trip in
before they could cross the Clear
water. At the ranch they found
everything lovely-howers in
bloom, grass high enough for
hay and vegetables plenty to eat.
The efforts of VIM. Wyllie and
Frank Harsh at strawberry cult
ure, two years, ago, were bearing
fruit in abundance, and the party
lived high while at the ranch.
James Wyllie,, who was a resi-
dent of Scotland up to two years
ago, and upon whom the great
ness of America is gradually
dawning, as he takes little ex-
cursions out into the tall timber,
extracted more pleasure from the
trip than did either of the other
members. He fished and hunted
and in the latter diversion
brought down a huge mountain
lion that attempted to cross his
path and get away. He also got a
piece" Of a bear, but there
wasn't enough Of it to make an
exhibit to his friends.
The range on the Middle Fork
is fine at this season, and stock

LITTLE GIRL :
MEETS DEATH
Daughter of George Chalmers
Struck by Rapid Transit
Car.

A distressing accident yesterday be-
reaved George Chalmers, manager OF
Waimanalo plantation, of his daughter
Agnes, five or six years old. At quar-
ter to eleven in the forenoon, having
come out or the High School where she
had been visiting an elder sister, little
Agnes attempted TO cross Emma street
in front of a moving electric car.
Motorman Dobson, according to the
report of himself and Conductor Ma
hale given at the power house, yelled
out to her, shut off the current and
put the brakes hard down. The child
cleared the track but was knocked
down by the off footboard. She was
dragged a few feet and her body
wedged under the footboard The car
having been backed away the child
was picked up dead her skull having
been crushed. Her father was notified,
the corpse of his daughter having been
carried into the Turner residence on
Emma street.
After having Stacked up to cross
Vineyard street the ear had been hit
up to an eight-mile speed when the
child was first observed to move in
her fatal attempt to cross the track.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chalmers arrived in
town with Agnes yesterday morning.
Mr. Chalmers is a member of the Fed
eral grand jury now on duty. Agnes
was the youngest child of a former
wife of Mr. Chalmers, who died at the
birth of the little girl whose tragic
death yesterday shocked the com
munity.
AT the inquest, held last night by
Coroner Jarrett, verdict of accidental
death was rendered, the conductor and
motorman of the car being relieved of
all blame in the matter. In attendance
at the inquest were Mr. Chalmers, c.
G. Ballentyne, manger of the Rapid
Transit companM Motorman Dobson,

one concerned; some of the passengers
and others. The jury was made up of

LAWYER HEEN IN An
INTERESTING CASE
A Shanghai paper says:

In the British Supreme Court today,
j. NJ. Ryan was arraigned for uttering
a worthless United States Confederate
$40 note and thereby obtaining money
by false pretences was tried before Sir
Havilland de Sausmarez, Judge, and a
jury.
Mr.. H. P. Wilkinson, Crown Adj
vocate, prosecuted. The prisoner was
undefended.
On the list of jurors summoned be-
ing called, Mr. A. Brady, not answer
ing, he was fiued &5.
The following jury was empanelled
to try the case: Messrs. j. Eimore,
H. W. Wolfenden, S. A. Hardoon, E.
Kilner and C. Budd
Defending himself without the as
sistance of a legal adviser the charge
against the prisoner was thoroughly
Investigated and the jury unanimously
returned a verdict of "not guilty. -
The evidence was practically the same
as that given before Judge Wiley,
sitting in the American District Court,
in the case of the two men Gould and
Bishop who were convicted after a
short hearing and sentenced to two
years penal servitude. This acquittal
by the British Judge and jury is IN
striking contrast to the Judgment of
the7 United States Court.
Mr.. Heen defended Bishop and Gould
one of whom, Gould, is Mason of high
degree. This is. another instance of
the folly of putting the liberty and
good name of citizen of the United
States into the hands of any one man
without a jury.
1t is said that the Masonic friends
of Gould feel aggrieved at Judge Will
fey's judgment and are now arranging
to appeal his case to the United States
Court in California.

THE UNWRITTEN LAW
PLEASED THE AUDIENCE

That w. J. Elleford always provides
the people of Honolulu a high grade of
entertainment was once more demon
strated at the Orpheum theater last
night, when Frank Cooley and Gladys
Kingsbury and their supporting com
pany, presenting 1.-The Unwritten
Law, appeared for the first time in
Honolulu When the announcement was
made that the Elleford company was
again to appear here, local theater-
goers recalled with pleasure the former
engagements and looked joyfully for
ward to the coming of the old favor
ties. Consequently there was a. little
tinge of disappointment when it be-
came known that an entirely new com
pany had been sent here, and many of
those who went to the Orpheum last
night were full of the ''show me
spirit. However, it can be safely said
that whatever feeling of disappointment
existed before the performance has
completely disappeared, for Mr.. Ellie
ford S promise to send a first-class show
to Honolulu this season has undoubted-
~ been kept
The audience was typical of Ho-
noluiu first night, packing the house
to overfowing Other first nights have
seen bigger box-otfiee receipts, but by
a few dollars only, and had it not
been for the stormy weather, there is
little question that all previous rec
ords for attendance would have been
eclipsed.
1.-The Unwritten Law would not
rank among the greatest dramas of
the stage, but it is an interesting
play, Astounding in strong action and
lively comedy. 1t runs through four
acts alternating emotional and come
dy scenes so cleverly that one is moved
in an instant from the feeling of sad
ness at the misfortunes of the hero
and heroine to hilarious laughter at
the ridiculous situations into which
some of the characters work them
selves. Frank Cooley had a congeniaI
role as Paul Featherstone, young
artist who loves his wife ardently, but
is made to believes She is faithless to
her marriage vows. Mr. Cooley is a
disciple of the school of repressive
acting, and there is a charm in his
quiet method that is in strong con
trast to the customary ranting of the
popular-priced star.
