Got a Large Bear.

Frank and Earl Sterling of Troy Cen
ter were two of the proudest young men
in Pennsylvania Saturday evening when
they arrived in this city from Marienville,
Forest county, with handsome black
bear which they had shot earlier In the
week. They exhibited their prize on the
corner of Spring and Franklin streets
and were the adm ired of all admirers, for
be it known that bear hunters who kill
their game are few aud far between. The
bear was beauty, having thick black
coat and weighing over 200 pounds. The
boys, for they are hardly of age, told the
story of their capture of the bear. They
were crossing clearing where the brush
was very thick, when suddenly their dogs
began to show by their nervous manner
that they scented big game and were not
very anxious to advance. They were
urged along and at last it was found that
the game, whatever 1t was, was in thick
clump of slashings. The dogs grew
bolder and finally they went close to the
brush. Then came crashing among the
branches aud the bear, looking as big as
freight car, came charging out He
stopped for a moment to take in the SIT
uation and was dispatched by two we'll
directed shots. The boys took the. bear
with them to Troy Center. -TituspiIle

|oy Passauer. the ls.vear.old son of

Roy Passauer, the ls-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Psssauer, of Tionesta
township, was the victim OF peculiar
accident last Saturday, which will likely
leave him with crippled leg. He was
assisting his brother in saving wood and
had hold of one end of a cross-cut saw.
Just as they had sawed off a log 1t dropped
down and struck the handle OF an axe,
swinging it around in such a way that
the sharp blade struck the young man on
the inside of his left knee, severing the
muscles and an artery. DR.. Dunn was
summoned aud dressed the injury.

William Lett, cOlOred. will be tried
Tuesday of next week in the circuit

SHURLEY WILL Be
ACTIVE CANDIDATE
Will Seek the Republican
Nomination for County
Treasurer.
OTHER CANDIDATES BUSY.
ARE WORKING HARD AND THERE
is GENERAL INTEREST IN
WAYNE COUNTY POLITICS AT
THE PRESENT TIME.

Today Jerome Shurley, d well known
resident of this city, announced his
candidacy for the republican nomina-
tion for county treasurer. This an
nouncement will be received in the ma
ture of a surprise as it was generally
believed that Albert Albertson, who
for several weeks has been the only
candidate in the field for thfs office,
would have no opposition.
Mr.. Shurley has for twenty years
been connected with the live stock buy
ing and shipping firm of Gaar x Shur-
ley. He resides in the first ward and
four years ago represented that ward
on the republican county central COM
mittee He takes a great interest in
politics and has always been an active
party worker.
II is the general opinion that there
will be no more candidates TO take the
field for the county treasurership.
The candidates for the various offic-
es are working hard on their causes
at the present time. and there is gener-
al interest being taken in politics. The
most interesting fights that are now on
are between the candidates for asses.
and trustee of Wayne township.

FIRST VICTIMS OF
LO|TEA|NC STATUTE
James and Walter Mack Ar
raigned and Fined in
The City Courut.
SCOPE OF LAW VERY WIDE.

James and Walter Mack, arrested
Friday for vagrancy, were arraigned
in the city court this morning and
charged with lettering. Both men en-
tered pleas of guilty and each was
fined s. and costs. The two Macks
are the first victims of the lettering
ordinance recently enacted by the city
council. When arraigned in court Sat
urday charged with a violati ton of the
state vagrancy law they both plead
not guilty. The scope of the lettering
ordinance is so wide that the two men
today evidently recognized the futility
of pleading not guilty TO its violation.

GUBERNATOR|AL
CANDIDATES ENTER
THE FINAL STR['TCH
With the Call for the State
Convention. Charles w. Mil
Ter and James {. Watson
Sprint for Finish.
SIXTH DIST. CANDIDATE
is APPARENTLY LEADING.
Many Politicians Say That II
The Convention Were Held
Today, He Would Be Nomi-
nated-Beveridge Shaky.

With the call for the state cOnV IL
tiOn issued. the entries in the republi-
can race for governor are now settl.
ing down for the finish. The party
workers from one end of Indiana to
the other are deeply interested, md
the convention promises to be the
most spectacular in the history OF the
party.
AS matters now stand. Congressman
James E. Watson, of Rushville, is gen
orally regarded as the leading candi-
date, and five out of every six politi
clans are now saying that if the con-
vention should be held within the
next week le would receive the nom
inatiOn. But the convention is not to
be held until the first week of April,
so there are more than two months in
which the other candidates may close
up the gap, if such exists.
AS far as sentiment is concerned,
politicians generally say that there is
more in favor of Watson than either
Of his opponents. He is popular per-
SOnally and grand campaigner. The
expression is heard on all sides, now
that he has a fine chance of landing
the nomination early in the conveh-
tion if his forces are we'll organized.
N tho or hand CharlnS w Mil
Ter is Being, referred to as fine or
ganizer. He is credited with being
able to marshal his forces so that it
viii be difficult to get away from
them Taylor is also looked upon as
a good campaigner, but not the equal
of Miller as an organizer. However
he is said TO have put that end Of his
campaign in the hands Of men who
know the game.
From almost any point of view thai
may be taken the race is one of the
most interesting that has taken place
in the party. There IS less factiona
strife connected with it than was anti
cipated. Some of Watson's opponent,
among the radical Beveridge ncr
have recently caused the publication
Of stories that ne proposes to rur
against Senator BeveTidge two years
hence if he is elected governor, bu
his closest friends say that any state
ment TO that effect is ridiculous.
Watson is not a candidate for th'
senate and will serve out his term a
governor, if he is nominated and elect
ed. it is said. and this would take hin
two years beyond the expiration o
Senator Beveridge's term.
1t is rumored frequently that Sena
| tor Beveridge has more to fear fror
combination between Governor Han
! ly and Lieutenant Governor Mile
! than from Watson and his followers
as it is said that the governor, wht
is very friendly to the lieutenant gov
ernor. might become a candidate 70
the senate if the lieutenant govcrno
should be elected to succeed him.
Vice President Fairbanks and hi
political manager. Joe Healing, ar
keeping their hands off the governor
ship race. Up to this time there ha
not been as much said about the Bey
eridee and Hemenway-Fairb fac
tiOns as usual. and it is not likely tha
they will be drawn into this fight, a
in former campaigns. for places o1
the state ticket.
